New eBook explores power efficiency in electronics design

Mouser has released a new eBook in collaboration with Qorvo, highlighting how power management and efficiency enable next-generation technologies and devices. In 'Powering Up Your Design', subject matter experts from the companies provide in-depth analyses of the most critical components, architectures and applications in power management.

Innovative designers and manufacturers are producing the next technologies that will make lives smarter, faster, and more efficient in every industry. Building in reliable power management enables designers to lessen solution size and cost, minimise energy usage, and speed time to market.

The new eBook provides seven insightful articles on power tool design, brushless DC motor control, and power management for portable vacuums. The eBook features product information for 15 Qorvo solutions, allowing readers to quickly identify and explore the devices needed for next-generation power management applications.

Products include the PAC5524 high pin-count 70V PAC. The PAC5524 unites a high-performance, high-memory, flash-based 150 MHz Arm Cortex-M4F core with power management, high-side and low-side gate drivers, and signal conditioning components in a single product. The PAC5556 is a mixed-signal SoC that also features a fully programmable Arm Cortex-M4F digital processor in a 10mm x 10mm package that helps reduce BOM costs by as much as 35%.

The new eBook also features the company's high-performance PMICs. The ACT85610 PMIC offers built-in PLP, making it a suitable choice for solid-state drives (SSDs), hotplug devices, and industrial applications. The ACT88329, available to order from Mouser, is a highly configurable PMIC with five voltage rails and a built-in sequencer. The flexible IC allows for reconfiguration without needing PCB changes and is ideal for powering various devices, including wearables, FPGAs, video processors, and SSD applications.
