Tl dc/dc boost power module cuts board space requirements

摘要

The TPS81256 ultrasmall boost power module, integrating an inductor and I/O capacitors, measures less than 9 mm~2 and less than 1 mm in height, saving up to 50% more board space over competing solutions, according to Texas Instruments. The power module addresses the needs of smart-phone and tablet designers for smaller point-of-load converters with long battery runtimes and high power-conversion efficiency. The 4-MHz, 600-mA module supports a 5V output with a power density of 400 mW/mm~2.
