Subdue Noisy Power Apps with Silent Switcher μModules

Analog Devices’ μModule power regulator technology simplifies implementation, verification, and manufacturing of complex power circuits.

It’s no secret that the implementation, verification, and manufacturing of complex power circuits is a heavy lift. To combat those challenges, Analog Devices’ μModule power regulators use a system-in-package (SiP) approach to reduce the component count. The solution integrates the DC-DC controllers, power transistors, input and output capacitors, compensation components, and inductors into one device to deliver a reliable, high-efficiency, and low-electromagnetic-interference (EMI) power solution. 

Available in BGA and LGA packages, the Silent Switcher μModule regulators provide a robust solution for the challenges of EMI, improve thermal performance, and eliminate the need for low-dropout (LDO) post regulators in most applications. From high-speed data converters and RF systems to medical imaging and industrial equipment, μModule regulators enable engineers to achieve ultra-low noise and high efficiency without the added complexity of traditional EMI reduction methods.
