DALLAS, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today introduced a new 6-V, 6-A
synchronous integrated power module with integrated inductor, which
achieves an industry-best 750 watts per cubic inch and peak power
efficiency up to 97 percent. The TPS84610 provides excellent
thermal performance of 12 degrees C/W, which is 40-percent better
than competing modules. The device simplifies telecom power designs
for DSPs and FPGAs by combining the inductor and passives onto one
lead frame, requiring only three external components for a
complete, easy-to-design 150-mm2 solution. For samples and
evaluation module visit: www.ti.com/tps84k-pr.
The TPS84610 supports input voltages from 2.95 V to 6 V,
generates a low 0.8-V output and has an adjustable switching
frequency from 500 kHz to 2 MHz. The 9-mm x 11-mm x 2.8-mm
low-noise module meets EN55022 Class B electromagnetic emissions,
allowing it to support noise-sensitive applications, such as
broadband communications equipment.
Key features and benefits of TPS84610
- Highest power density at 6 A: Delivering 750 W/inch3 power
density in a 150-mm2 solution size.
- Simple to design: Only three external components required.
- High performance: Up to nine-percent higher full-load
efficiency and 40-percent better thermal performance than
competitive solutions.
Expanding power module family
In addition to the TPS84610, TI also introduced four additional
power modules with integrated inductors, including the
pin-compatible 2-A TPS84210 and 4-A TPS84410, which support input
voltages from 2.95 V to 6 V. The 3-A TPS84320 and 6-A TPS84621
modules support input voltages from 4.5 V to 14.5 V and output
voltages down to as low as 0.6 V.
TI's large point-of-load portfolio of voltage regulators and
easy-to-use power modules ranges from SIMPLESWITCHER® wide-input
modules and DC/DC converters to TPS84K integrated power solutions,
such as the TPS84610. All are supported by evaluation modules,
reference designs and easy-to-use WEBENCH® or SwitcherPro™ design
tools.
Availability and pricing:
The TPS84610 is available in volume now from TI and its
authorized distributors in a 9-mm x 1-mm x 2.8-mm QFN package.
Suggested resale pricing is $6.50 in
1,000-unit quantities.
