Microchip Technology has announced the MCPF1412, a highly efficient and fully integrated 12A point-of-load power module with a 16V VIN buck converter support for I2C and PMBus® interfaces.
AI at the edge is causing greater integration and power consumption, necessitating better power management solutions for industrial automation and data center applications.
The MCPF1412 power module is engineered to provide exceptional performance and reliability, resulting in efficient power conversion and little energy loss.
The compact form factor (5.8 mm x 4.9 mm × 1.6 mm) and unique Land Grid Array (LDA) package decrease board space by over 40% compared to standard discrete solutions.
This size decrease, together with improved reliability and reduced PCB switching and RF noise, establishes the MCPF1412 as a leading industrial device.
The MCPF1412M06 Versatile Device Offers:
- Significant flexibility for configuration and system monitoring through the I2C and PMBus interfaces. Supports standalone operation without a digital interface.
- Allows designers to easily configure output voltages using simple resistor divider adjustments and monitor the system via the Power Good output.
Other Key Features of the MCPF1412 12A Point-of-Load Power Module Include:
- Multiple diagnostic functions such as over-temperature, over-current and over-voltage protection for improved performance and reliability.
- The operating temperature range is TJ ?40°C to +125°C. An on-board embedded EEPROM is available for programming the default power-up configuration.
Microchip offers a wide range of DC-DC power modules with input voltages from 5.5-70V, available in ultra-compact, rugged and thermally enhanced packaging to improve high power density.
