[June 23, 2004] Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance - DOSA - Launches New Web Site DALLAS --(Business Wire)-- June 23, 2004 -- The Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) has launched its new web site at http://www.dosapower.com. DOSA founding members Tyco Electronics Power Systems and SynQor, Inc. have developed the site to provide information to the public on DOSA standards developed for the power conversion market. The web site contains information about alliance members, their mission, DOSA standards, industry links, news and announcements. The site will become a repository for all DOSA related activity on standardization across a broad range of DC-DC converter products. The website will also be used by members to share technical information during the standards development process. "DOSA stands as a separate entity from its member companies, and as such it requires its own web site," said Sabi Varma, Vice President, Marketing and Business Operations at Tyco Electronics Power Systems. "The DOSA website will be an essential vehicle for sharing standards information among members and non-members." "DOSA is a customer driven, open alliance. As such, we have launched the web site to share information that will facilitate greater product compatibility, allowing our customers the benefits of true multiple sourcing options," said Joseph Coupal, SynQor Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales. DOSA was established to ensure future DC-DC product compatibility and standardization within the increasingly fragmented power converter market. The alliance will develop standards over a broad range of power converter form factors, footprints, feature sets and functionality for both non-isolated (point-of-load) and isolated applications, including intermediate bus converters. Last month, DOSA announced a footprint and pin-out for a sixteenth brick converter. And recently, Celestica Power Systems became the first member to join founders Tyco Electronics and SynQor in the alliance. DOSA will continue to seek new alliance members that can contribute to its goals. Membership is open to qualified companies per the alliance charter.

About DOSA The Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) was formed to ensure future DC-DC product compatibility and standardization within the increasingly fragmented power converter market. The goal of the alliance is to establish customer interface standards early in the development cycle, which include form factors, footprints, pin-outs, feature sets and other parameters that will permit alternative sourcing. The alliance will cover a broad range of power converters including non-isolated (POL), isolated applications, and intermediate bus converters.
