Summary of MURATA’S ULTRA-SMALL, 0.5 A TO 2.0 A DC/DC CONVERTERS OFFER HIGH EFFICIENCY AND LOW NOISE
Murata’s MYR PicoBK DC/DC converters integrate coil and control IC in an ultra-small 2.5 mm × 2.0 mm × 1.0 mm package, offering much smaller footprints than discrete solutions. They deliver high efficiency (typ. 93%), low noise, low quiescent current, excellent EMI and thermal performance, and support 2.5–5.5 V inputs (MYRGC up to 36 V). Control modes include fixed, PWM, or PFM/PWM auto switch, making them suitable for battery-powered and industrial applications.
Parts used in the MYR PicoBK DC/DC converters:
- Integrated coil
- Control IC
- SMT package (2.5 mm × 2.0 mm × 1.0 mm)
Murata’s MYR series are the PicoBK™ DC/DC converters that integrate a coil and a control IC. The ultra-small form-factor measures 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm x 1.0 mm. The MYR series is significantly smaller than discrete solutions.
In most cases, these modules occupy less than half the footprint of the same solution implemented with discrete components.
These DC/DC converters achieve high efficiency, low noise, and high heat dissipation. The devices are designed for a 2.5 V to 5.5 V source such as a Li-ion battery. The input voltage of the MYRGC series is up to 36 VDC and suitable for battery applications to industrial applications. The typical efficiency of the MYRGP is 93% at 5.0 VIN / 3.3 VOUT. The control method can be selected fixed, PWM, or PFM/PWM auto switch.
