Summary of NEW DC/DC CONVERTERS OFFER 50 PERCENT SMALLER FOOTPRINT
Murata introduced the MonoBK MYWGC series: compact 4-channel point-of-load DC/DC converters with a 50% smaller footprint, integrated passives including inductors, input 2.8–5.5 V, programmable outputs 0.4–3.58 V up to 3 A, excellent thermal performance (–40 to +105 °C), on/off control, power-good signal, and high efficiency using fixed-frequency synchronous buck topology.
Parts used in the MonoBK MYWGC series:
- MonoBK MYWGC 4-channel DC/DC converter module
- Integrated inductors (built into module)
- Integrated passive components (capacitors, resistors, etc., built into module)
- On/off control pin/interface
- Power-good signal interface
Murata unveiled the MYWGC series from the MonoBK™ DC/DC converter family. The new point-of-load (POL) modules offer a 50-percent smaller footprint than competing solutions and set new standards in size, efficiency and performance. The highly integrated, multi-output DC/DC converters leverage Murata’s core technology advantages in power module development, advanced 3D integrated packaging and passive component expertise.
The MonoBK™ MYWGC series are 4-channel DC/DC converters that integrate all passive components, including inductors, into a tiny form factor of 9.3 mm × 9.0 mm × 2.9 mm (L × W × H). The products feature an input voltage range of 2.8–5.5 V and programmable outputs of 0.4–3.58 V up to 3.0 amps. Most applications will require few external components.
Due to the unique packaging process, the module has an outstanding thermal performance that can support a wide temperature range of –40 to +105 °C. Based on a fixed-frequency synchronous buck converter switching topology, this high-efficiency POL module features on/off control and power-good signal out.
