Smallest 3A solution on the market?

According to the power IC specialist, the EN5339 significantly reduces engineering and design analysis associated with discrete dc/dc converter designs. The device fits into a 55mm² solution area with a 1.1mm profile, enabling usage in high density embedded computer on modules which require this small area – and often a low profile to enable bottom side pcb mounting. Enpirion says the EN5339 enables a 20% solution footprint reduction and 40% lower profile compared to its previous generation of products. Mark Cieri, Enpirion's director of marketing and business development, said: "We continue to optimise solution size and cost without compromising the high performance and simplicity of design inherent in all Enpirion's PowerSoCs. I was told just last week by a hardware engineering manager at a leading European embedded computer maker that his most difficult design challenge was fitting both the processors and discrete dc/dc converters onto the same card. He was delighted that we could solve his concerns." The EN5339 is sampling now, with volume production by December 2011.
