Vishay Intertechnology microBRICK regulator module

element14 has announced that it now stocks the microBRICK regulator module from Vishay Intertechnology, expanding its portfolio with a small DC/DC regulator module.

micoBRICK is a synchronous buck regulator module with integrated power MOSFETs and an inductor. It can supply 20 A of continuous current at up to 2 MHz switching frequency.

The regulator produces an adjustable output voltage down to 0.6 V from 4.5–18 V input rail to accommodate a variety of computing, consumer electronics, telecom and industrial applications.

The device’s architecture supports fast transient response with minimum output capacitance, and tight ripple regulation at a light load. The device is internally compensated and doesn’t require an external ESR network for loop stability purposes.

The device also incorporates a power saving scheme that increases light-load efficiency. The regulator integrates a full protection feature set, including output over voltage protection (OVP), cycle by cycle over current protection (OCP), short circuit protection (SCP) and thermal shutdown (OTP). It also has UVLO and a user programmable soft start.

The microBRICK is available in a lead (Pb)-free power enhanced PowerPAK MLP60-A6C package measuring 10.6 x 6.5 x 3 mm.

Vishay manufactures a large portfolio of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, which are essential to innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace and medical markets. The microBRICK can be ordered online from element14 in APAC.
