DC-DC step down converter meets noise sensitive situations

It is specifically designed to meet the precise voltage and fast transient requirements of high-performance and low-power processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), FPGAs, memory boards, and system-level applications in distributed power architectures.      

The module offers very high efficiency of 96 percent, and delivers a continuous 6A at 85 degrees Celsius ambient temperature with no de-rating. It also provides excellent line and load regulation over temperature and features a full suite of protections, a precision enable threshold, pre-bias monotonic start-up, and programmable soft-start.

In addition, the module provides 1.5 percent V_FB accuracy; and its advanced circuit techniques, ultra-high switching frequency, and proprietary integrated inductor technology deliver high-quality, ultra-compact DC-DC conversion that significantly lowers electromagnetic interference (EMI) and enhances productivity.      

Measuring just 8 mm × 8mm × 3 mm, the EN6362QI PowerSoC is optimised into a 56-pin QFN module with a total solution size of 170 mm². Due to its high level of integration and accuracy, the EN6362QI PowerSoC is qualified as a low-risk power supply system solution that contributes to very low failure-in-time rates and dramatically improves system reliability when compared to other discrete power supply solutions.

The step-down converter is ideal for a variety of noise-sensitive and space-constrained applications that require the highest power density, including point-of-load regulation applications, industrial automation, servers, wireless base stations, test and measurement and embedded computing devices.

For development, the EN6362QI PowerSoC is also supported by the 884-EV-EN6362Q1 evaluation board, also available from Mouser Electronics.
