Step-down power module

16 May 2018 Power Electronics / Power Management

With the MagI³C-VDMM (Variable Step Down MicroModule), Würth Elektronik eiSos is expanding its product series of power modules with high power density, very few external components and elevated electromagnetic compatibility.

The step-down converter with variable output voltage is a particularly compact solution in an LGA-6EP package (dimensions 3,2 x 2,5 x 1,6 mm).

The input voltage range for the converters extends from 2,75 to 5,5 V d.c., so they can be operated on a 5 V or 3,3 V bus. The output voltage of the power module, which integrates inductor and capacitors, ranges from 0,6 to 5,5 V. The highly efficient module delivers an output current up to 600 mA, and can be used to replace linear controllers.

The power module is suitable for powering interfaces, microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs and FPGAs. Because of its small package size and high efficiency, it is especially recommended for use in mobile and battery-operated devices. The MagI³C-VDMM is now available from stock. Free samples can be requested.
