Analog Devices Inc. µModule® Power Products

Analog Devices Inc. µModule^® Power Products are system-in-package (SiP) power management solutions with integrated DC/DC controllers, inductors, power transistors, compensation components, input, and output capacitors. The devices are housed in compact, surface mount BGA or LGA packages. Analog Devices µModule power products support functions like Step-Down (buck), Step-Up (boost), Step-Down and Step-Up (buck-boost), Battery Charger, Isolated Converter, and LED driver.

Overview

Features

Digital Power System Management
- Control and monitor the switching regulator through a PMBus/SMbus/I2C Bus digital interface. The control and monitor functions include the following:
  - Output voltage monitoring trimming, sequencing, and margining
  - Current monitor
  - Temperature monitor
  - Fault log
High Power, Precision Current Sharing
- Parallel several μModule regulators to deliver high power to a load with uniform distribution of load current
1.82mm Ultrathin Packages
- Place this family of μModule regulators on the backside of the PCB or next to an FPGA or ASIC sharing the same heat sink or cold plate
Ultralow Noise
- This family of μModule regulators have onboard filters and are EN55022 class B certified
Isolated
- With an integrated transformer, this μModule regulator family provides electrical isolation between input and output

Tune-a-μModule Regulator
- Gain access to the internal compensation of a μModule regulator and tune loop response to obtain best output voltage accuracy, fast transient response, and minimum output capacitance for powering FPGAs, ASICs, and microprocessors
Buck-Boost
- Product additions to this μModule regulator family have integrated magnetics and operate from higher input voltage
Multiple Output
- 5, 4, 3, or 2 output μModule regulators allow current sharing of outputs to increase load current and ON/OFF or sequencing of each output
Ultrathin
- The package height of ultra-thin µModule power products is 1.82mm to 1.92mm, which can fit on the backside of the PC board or under a heat sink
Adjustable Loop Compensation
- Gain access to the internal compensation of a μModule regulator and tune loop response to obtain best output voltage accuracy, fast transient response, and minimum output capacitance for powering FPGAs, ASICs and microprocessors
