These small-sized regulators incorporate a loop optimization function that allows design engineers to optimize their load transient response for different capacitive loads, thereby increasing system design flexibility. They also provide a configurable soft-start or tracking function to simplify and make time-sequence design more flexible.
The regulators are very small to save considerable space: they measure only 7.5 x 7.5 x 5.4 mm. They can be mounted from the bottom side for even greater space savings.
This series consists of three versions, each offering different maximum output currents. The PMU8218 model provides an output of up to 4 A / 22 W, the PMU8318 reaches up to 6 A / 33 W, and the PMU8418 reaches 8 A / 44 W. Each device has an output voltage range of 0.6 V to 5.5 V and an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 17 V.
The new PoL regulators are suitable for a wide variety of power conversion applications, such as powering FPGAs, ASICs, network processors, CPUs and GPUs, in sectors such as ICT (telecommunications and data communications), industry, test and measurement, Internet of Things, railway and medicine.
The new regulators achieve high levels of reliability, with an MTBF (mean time between failures) of up to 172 Mhrs, and meet the safety requirements of the IEC/EN/UL62368-1 standard.
