New µPOL DC-DC converters for AI, IoT, 5G and big data applications

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now offers the new FS160x µPOL DC-DC converters from TDK. The FS160x µPOL DC-DC converters offer full telemetry and increased performance in a compact, power-dense package. These converters are ideal for big data, AI, 5G cells, and IoT.

The converters are straightforward to integrate and provide a wide input voltage range of 4.2V to 16V and three continuous load capacities: 3A, 4A, and 6A. The low-profile package (3.3mm × 3.3mm × 1.35mm) is suitable for automated assembly utilising standard surface-mount equipment and features an on-chip PWM controller and integrated MOSFETs, with an included inductor and capacitors, creating an extremely compact and accurate regulator.

The FS160x µPOLs device's built-in protections include pre-biased start-up, overvoltage protection, soft-start protection, thermal shutdown with auto-recovery, and thermally compensated overcurrent protection with hiccup mode. The FS160x µPOL DC-DC converters feature full telemetry for high power-density applications with optimised construction that provides extraordinary power density in surprisingly small modules, with a wide operating range from -40C to 125C.

The company also stocks the TDK EV1603-5000-A evaluation boards, which supply a demonstration and development platform for the FS160x µPOL DC-DC converters. The evaluation boards provide an example application circuit, permitting rapid prototyping when integrated into existing designs.
