CUI and Ericsson sign license agreement for Advanced-Bus-Converter Products

CUI has entered into a license agreement with Ericsson for their 32-bit processor-based FRIDA II 3E digital Advanced Bus Converter family, including the newly released BMR456 quarter brick and BMR457 eighth brick series. The license agreement will enable OEMs to address interoperability challenges, reduce time to market, and decrease supply chain risk for these leading-edge digital products. The Advanced Bus Converter family is intended to provide unprecedented performance to system architects developing equipment for ICT (Information and Communication Technology) applications that require a small footprint, fast response time, tightly regulated intermediate bus voltages, and high efficiency at any point of operation to reduce power consumption. A growing number of companies are now developing Ericsson ABC footprint-compatible products. Delivering a high level of robustness, low power losses, and an all-in-one interface for input/output (I/O) control and monitoring, the platform is ready for future evolutions of Advanced Bus Converter technology including greater integration levels within the digital power chain. Along with the formal license agreement, CUI and Ericsson announced an expansion of their multi-source power platform cooperation to include a common standard for digital intermediate bus converters on their respective product roadmaps moving forward. This expansion adds to the existing initiative between the two companies to develop and market multi-source, digital Point-of-Load power solutions that are based on the Ericsson footprints and designs. The expanded cooperation provides CUI with a foundation to develop future intermediate bus designs that will incorporate Ericsson's footprint for digital communication established in their Advanced Bus Converter family.
