9 x 15-mm module houses 12V, 10A DC/DC step-down
SWIFT TPSM84A21 and TPSM84A22 DC/DC modules integrate power MOSFETs, shielded inductors, input and output capacitors, and passives into a tiny, low profile footprint. It provides as little as 1% overshoot in transient conditions without special magnetics or additional capacitors.
By using the step-down power module together with TI’s WEBENCH Power Designer, the company says engineers can get their space-constrained point-of-load (POL) telecom, networking, and test and measurement power-supply designs to market faster.
The highly integrated modules require just one external voltage-setting resistor for a complete 12V step-down power solution. For an application such as powering tightly regulated field-programmable gate array (FPGA) rails, a typical 10A module would require up to 16 external capacitors. In comparison, the TPSM84A21 provides ultra-low output ripple due to the very high 4 MHz switching frequency and integrated 185 µF of output capacitance, which maintains regulation accuracy without any external capacitors. In a 20-pin quad flat micro (QFM) package, the modules are priced at $8.63 (1,000).
