3-mm power module offers 95% efficiency

The DOSA-standard SlimLynx encapsulated, non-isolated dc/dc converter is a 20.32 x 11.43 x 3-mm digital PMBus power module. It can be mounted on the bottom of the board, effectively doubling the available board space for power, and enabling greater computational power for demanding processes.

The module is available for $9.98 in OEM quantities and targets industrial, networking and telecommunication devices. The module provides 12-A output current with an input of 3 to 14 V and an output of 0.45 to 5.5 Vdc, and offers 95% efficiency. It features a patented tunable loop technology that allows for fewer external components.
