High density power modules available in tiny package
1 min read
The industry's lowest profile, highest density power modules have been touted by Exar.
The multi-output, programmable XRP9710 and XRP9711 come with two fully integrated regulators, mosfets, inductors and internal input and output capacitors in a compact 12 x 12 x 2.75mm package.
The XRP9711 also offers two controller outputs that are each capable of driving loads up to 30Amps.
Both modules offer full control via a SMBus compliant I2C interface, allowing for advanced local and remote reconfiguration, full performance monitoring and reporting, as well as fault handling.
The output voltages can be programmed from 0.6 to 5.5V without requiring any external components.
"Exar's modules have nearly halved the size of the existing 6A modules on the market converting from 12V," said James Lougheed, Exar's vice president of power management products. "With a height of 2.75mm, system engineers now have the option of mounting these modules on the back side of boards, including telecommunication line cards and PCIe cards, or in other space constrained designs."
