AST represents Potentia Semiconductors, through its line of configurable IC's and complementing design tools, offering an entirely new and more effective way of designing and implementing power management. These tools used together help the designer move from a time-consuming, error-prone, analog-based process to one that is fast, intuitive, software-assisted, and digital.

Potentia is reinventing the way on-board power management is designed—with a fully featured line of configurable devices that are easy to use.


Primary-Side Monitor and controllers:

PS-1005 Primary Side Monitor with PI-Link Interface
The PS-1005 provides comprehensive monitoring of primary-side power parameters and transmits data via PI-Link to a companion secondary-side power subsystem controller IC.

PS-1006 Inrush Controller and Primary Side Monitor with PI?Link Interface
The PS-1006 provides -48 V inrush control and circuit breaker functionality while incorporating comprehensive monitoring of primary-side power parameters. Data is transmitted via PI-Link to a companion secondary-side power subsystem controller IC.

Secondary-Side Power Management:

PS-2405 Power Subsystem Controller
The PS-2405 provides comprehensive secondary-side power management for lower rail count applications.

PS-2406 Power Subsystem Controller
The PS-2406 is the world’s first configurable power subsystem controller with an integrated PI-Link interface to primary-side power management ICs.

PS-2610 Power Subsystem Controller
The PS-2610 provides the industry’s most comprehensive set of features for advanced power management applications.

PS-2606 Power Subsystem Controller
The PS-2606 provides complete configurable power management for up to six power rails, including interlock sequencing, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, system alarms, and auto-retries.

PS-2607 Power Subsystem Controller with Fault Log
The PS-2607 provides complete configurable power management for up to six power rails, including interlock sequencing, overvoltage and under voltage protection, system alarms, auto-retries, and fault log.

Design Development Tools:

PowerCenter Designer Software
Free configuration software that gives you a new, intuitive way to design on-board power. With it, power system parameters such as topology, fault handling, sequencing relationships, trimming, and margining can be defined quickly and easily. Link to: PowerCenter feature sheet. Free for download through Potentia website.

PowerCenter Emulation Platform and add-On Modules
The platform is compatible with all Potentia devices and accommodates up to six customer-specified isolated DC-DC converters or non-isolated POLs. Add-on modules enable designers to configure the PowerCenter Emulation Platform for specific Potentia devices:
