Step Down Converter, Inductor and Capacitors in a Compact Package

April 25, 2018 by Paul Shepard

The MagI³C-VDMM (Variable Step Down Micro Module) dc-dc converter module family from Würth Elektronik is supplemented by more powerful 1A and 1.2A versions. The input voltage range (from 2.5- to 5.5-V) covers the standard 3.3- and 5-V bus voltages, and the adjustable output voltage ranges from 0.8- to 5.5-V.

The modules have been designed for high efficiency in the low load range. Integration of the dc-dc converter and coil makes for a very compact solution in an LGA-6EP package. They require very few external components.

The MagI³C-VDMM series is particularly suitable as a replacement for linear regulators. Applications include the supply of 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. To save energy, the VDMM can be "put to sleep" using an additional PIN, which extends battery life.

The MagI³C VDMM series features excellent electromagnetic compatibility. The modules meet the CISP-32 standard for Class B radiated interference without additional filter elements.

The new member of the MagI³C-VDMM family is available from stock. Free samples can be requested.
