DC-DC regulator modules include power-saving scheme increasing light load efficiency

Vishay microBRICK DC-DC Regulator Modules are synchronous buck regulators with integrated power MOSFETs and an inductor. These modules are available now from Mouser. The modules have a power stage able to supply 20A of continuous current at up to a 2MHz switching frequency. This regulator delivers an adjustable output voltage down to 0.6V from 4.5V to 24V input rail. This is excellent for a range of applications including computing, consumer electronics, telecom, and industrial.

The module architecture supports ultrafast transient response with minimum output capacitance and tight ripple regulation at very light load. The device is internally compensated and no external ESR network is needed for loop stability purposes. The device also includes a power-saving scheme that significantly improves light load efficiency.
