element14 new microBRICK regulator from Vishay Intertechnology

Electrical Technology

element14 has announced that it is now stocking the band new microBRICK regulator module from Vishay Intertechnology, expanding its power portfolio with the smallest DC/DC regulator module on the market.

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 V to 18 V input rail to accommodate a variety computing, consumer electronics, telecom, and industrial applications.

The device’s architecture supports ultrafast transient response with minimum output capacitance, and tight ripple regulation at a very 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 significantly 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 only 10.6 mm x 6.5 mm x 3 mm.

Rob Burton, Global Product Segment Leader, Power Management, at element14, said, "Developers need to know what they can achieve with Vishay’s new regulator. As the smallest regulator available on the market today, it has the dual benefits of providing high performance within a small, space-saving footprint.”

Tony Callow, Distribution Account Manager, UK & Eire, for Vishay, added, “microBrick is a simple but effective solution to building efficient high-density DC/DC converters, with a wide input voltage range for a huge range of applications. We look forward to growing our market for these devices with the help of element14’s stocking, ordering, and distribution expertise.”
