Industry's smallest 36-V, 1-A DC/DC step-down power module shrinks board space by up to 58 percent

Modules from Texas Instruments feature tiny MicroSiP packaging and achieve up to 92 percent efficiency

DALLAS, Feb. 23, 2018 — (PRNewswire) —  Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced two new 4-V to 36-V power modules that measure just 3.0 mm by 3.8 mm and require only two external components for operation. The 0.5-A LMZM23600 and 1-A LMZM23601 DC/DC step-down converters achieve up to 92 percent efficiency, which minimizes energy loss, and feature tiny MicroSiP™ packaging that shrinks board space by up to 58 percent. The converters expand TI's power module portfolio to address up to 1-A performance-driven, space-constrained communication and industrial designs, including field transmitters, ultrasound scanners and network security cameras. For more information, samples and evaluation modules, see ti.com/lmzm23601.

TI will demonstrate the 1-A LMZM23601 power module in booth No. 501 at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) in San Antonio, Texas, March 6-8, 2018. Read this blog post to find out about all of the products TI will unveil at APEC, as well as end-to-end power-management system solutions including hardware, software and reference designs that help engineers get to market quickly.

The LMZM23600 and LMZM23601 modules are offered with either fixed 5-V or 3.3-V output voltages, or with external synchronization and adjustable 2.5-V to 15-V output voltages. The LMZM23601 features a mode pin that allows flexibility to operate at a fixed frequency for low electromagnetic interference (EMI), or an automatic pulse frequency modulation control mode for high efficiency at light loads. Read the white paper, " Simplify low EMI design with power modules," to understand the EMI advantages of modules verses discrete converters.
