An important comparison feature is how well the part performs at temperature extremes. This is critical to the discussion of “real” current density since other solutions purport to offer comparable current carrying capability, but derate their currents (i.e. provide less and less current) so heavily at higher temperatures so as to render the “real” current density significantly inferior to a robust OmniOn Power POL solution. These products usually derate heavily due to the use of lesser quality and lower performance components. At higher temperatures the ProLynx™ APXW005 provides the full rated output current. This is not the case with most commodity products and this is almost never the case with discrete solutions.
