Novel DC-DC converter shortlisted for Product of the Year

News

18 October 2006 News

STMicroelectronics has announced that its award-winning STw4141 DC-DC converter has appeared on the shortlist for the Semiconductor Product of the Year in the European Electronics Industry Awards (Elektra 06). The annual Elektra awards honour outstanding electronic products, companies, and professionals. ST's STw4141 DC-DC converter chip allows, for the first time, two different output voltages to be generated using a single external coil. This novel approach reduces both the number of parts in PCB area and manufacturing cost in applications that require two separate power rails, such as baseband and multimedia processors in mobile phones, digital still cameras, and PDAs. Earlier this year, the STw4141 won EDN magazine's Innovation of Year Award in the Power IC category and was a runner-up in the Design News Golden Mousetrap 2006 Awards in the Power Management and Control category.
