Torex XCL Family of Micro DC/DC Converters with Integrated Inductor

Introducing Torex’s game-changing XCL family of micro DC/DC converters with integrated inductor. The “micro DC/DC” XCL series is an ultra-small family of DC/DC converters that integrates a coil and control IC using unique Torex technology—simultaneously achieving space-saving, high efficiency, low noise, high heat dissipation, and low cost.

Three types are available: an ultra-small “pocket type” with low EMI noise supporting currents up to 1A, a “stack type” that simplifies the manufacturing line to achieve low cost, and a “multiple type” that incorporates a large coil and supports large currents.

Because Torex’s XCL series reduces the loss of efficiency that accompanies miniaturization, optimization of the power circuit from component selection to the heat dissipation structure realizes a small, high-efficiency DC/DC converter.

Samsung 3D V-NAND Enterprise NVMe SSD Technology

Samsung Enterprise SSD vs. Client SSDs — They Are Very Different!

Samsung’s leadership in SSD development and market dominance as the world’s leading supplier of Enterprise SSDs has led to the highest-reliability, highest-use-rate SSDs in the world. Client SSDs are neither designed nor validated for enterprise use, and are not warranty-supported in enterprise applications.

Enterprise SSDs have their NAND chips validated to withstand demanding enterprise P/E cycles, include built-in backup power circuitry for power-loss data protection, and feature higher over-provisioning for sustained enterprise IOPS and lifespan requirements.

Samsung’s 3D-VNAND technology scales NVMe SSD density from 16 TB to 32 TB—delivering 10X the density of competing solutions and 50X the IOPS performance of rotating media at comparable or lower cost per bit.
