DC/DC embedded power converter module from TDK for Smart Phones

TDK Corporation has unveiled a new multi-channel power management module featuring a power supply management IC chip that is embedded directly into the substrate. Packed with surface-mounted capacitors and power inductors, the module measures 11.0mm x 11.0 mm x 1.6 mm so that it is preferred by mobile device developers for use in smart phone and tablets. The new power management module offers efficient step-down converter power supply in a 5-channel configuration with a maximum output of 2.6 A, and its low-noise, low-loss voltage regulator power supply for up to 23 channels. Efficient lithium-ion secondary battery charging circuit is also included. IC completely embedded in the miniature three-dimensional SESUB structure which said to offer better thermal attributes compared with solutions with discrete packaged ICs. The module also designed to provide improved EMC performance due to the self-shielding effect of its design. Main features and benefits in short: High-efficiency, 5-channel step-down converter power supply with an output of up to 2.6 A Low-noise, low-loss voltage regulator type power supply (max. 23 channels) High-efficiency lithium-ion secondary battery charging circuit for up to 4 A LCD backlight power supply Step-up converter power supply for camera flash 16-bit microcontroller Flash memory for 256 kB of program data and 8 kB of data memory Ref...
