INEMI Specification for DC-DC Power Module (October 6, 2016). This document is for INEMI members only.
Phase 2 of the INEMI high voltage (380V) DC-DC project is complete. During this phase of the project, prototypes of a DC-DC converter were designed to prove out the electrical and mechanical Engineering Specification requirements developed during Phase 1. The prototypes were tested by the member companies of the Phase 2 project. The end of Phase 2 project readout included a discussion regarding the highlights of the prototype converter design, the test results obtained during Phase 2 testing, and specification enhancements due to the test results.

Background
There is a lack of standardized high voltage DC-DC power module for cheaper, smaller and higher efficiency solution in the area of high voltage DC (HVDC) power systems.
As such, a specification was developed in the DC-DC Power Module Phase 1 project. Phase 2 validated and modified the specification based on the prototyping and testing of the power module.
Project Objectives
Prototype the Power Module utilizing the Phase 1 specification.
Test and validate the prototyped Power Module and modify technical specification based on prototyping data.
Will provide many benefits to industry including:
- Cost benefit - Industry standard product
- Improvements in time-to-market - Specification and multiple sources for developing the product
- Introduction of HV technology on system boards that provide low cost power solution compared to the company proprietary expensive solutions and overall cost merit of the power system in a datacenter over the existing AC-DC systems.
- Cost/Size/Efficiency merits - Narrow input voltage range for 380V DC proposed for higher efficiency and Lower DC distribution losses (I2R) due to lower current.
- Meeting the future power demand (5X more) - 380V DC distribution over 48V DC distribution.
Project Focus
Results from the prototyping and evaluation on the feasibility of a High Voltage (380V) DC input to a 12V DC output module based on Phase 1 specification and review of modification of the specification based on prototyping.
