Würth Elektronik MagI³C-VDMM power module series

The MagI³C-VDMM (Variable Step Down Micro Module) power module family from Würth Elektronik has been supplemented by more powerful 1 and 1.2 A versions.

The input voltage range (from 2.5 to 5.5 V) covers the standard 3.3 and 5 V bus voltages, and the adjustable output voltage ranges from 0.8 to 5.5 V. The modules have been designed for high efficiency in the low load range. Integration of the DC-DC converter and coil makes for a compact solution in an LGA-6EP package.

The series is particularly suitable as a replacement for linear regulators. Applications include the supply of interfaces, microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs and FPGAs.

Due to their small size and high efficiency (over 96%), the units are particularly suitable for use in mobile and battery-powered devices. To save energy, the module can be ‘put to sleep’ using an additional PIN, which extends battery life.

The series features good electromagnetic compatibility. The modules meet the CISP-32 standard for Class B radiated interference without additional filter elements.
