The LMZ-series power modules integrate a shielded inductor with synchronous DC-DC step-down topology in an easy-to-use package. They deliver the efficiency of a synchronous switching regulator with the simplicity of a linear regulator, eliminating the external inductor and layout placement challenges typical of switching regulator designs.


National’s SIMPLE SWITCHER power modules save time and make it easier to design for applications with demanding power supply requirements.

New SIMPLE SWITCHER® Power Module Eval & Demo Boards

The SIMPLE SWITCHER power module demonstration board is optimized for minimized board area and ease-of-use. By utilizing an integrated shielded inductor, an all ceramic capacitor design, and a minimum of external passive components placed on both sides of the PCB, the power module DEMO board shows the ultimate in high power density power supply design. The power modules also offer tremendous ease-of-use in terms of board layout requirements, only requiring a 2-layer 1oz copper PCB to complete the entire design.

Features

  • Integrated shielded inductor in module
  • Up to 96% efficiency
  • High full load ambient temperature operation
  • Precision enable & soft-start for power supply sequencing and tracking
