Power Module comes in 12 x 10 mm package.

Press Release Summary:




Plug-in, point-of-load, Model PTH04070W supports up to 3 A output current and eliminates need for heat sink, providing up to 94% efficiency. Operating from 3.3 or 5 V input bus, module leverages switch-mode dc/dc topology to convert 5 V input down to 0.9 V with less than 1 W of power dissipation. Power density is 160 W/in³, and output voltage is adjustable from 0.9-3.6 V using external resistor. Module comes in double-sided, horizontal through-hole or surface-mount package.

TI Delivers Highly Efficient, 3-A Plug-in Power Module in Tiny 12 mm x 10 mm Package



DALLAS (Oct. 29, 2004) -- Texas Instruments today announced a highly integrated point of load power module that supports up to 3-A of output current and is smaller than a standard TO-220 linear regulator. The new PTH04070W plug-in power module eliminates the need for a heat sink, providing up to 94 percent efficiency to support low-voltage point-of-load power requirements of DSPs, FPGAs, ASICs and microcontrollers used in telecommunications, networking equipment, instrumentation and high-end consumer products. See: http://www.ti.com/sc04231.

TI's PTH04070W allows operation from either a 3.3-V or 5-V input bus. Leveraging TI's advanced switch-mode DC/DC topology, the module can efficiently convert a 5-V input bus down to 0.9 V with less than 1 W of power dissipation. Power density is an industry leading 160 W per cubic inch. The output voltage can be adjusted to any voltage from 0.9 V to 3.6 V using a single external resistor.

Key Features for PTH04070W:
o Up to 3-A Output Current at 85º C
o Input Voltage of 3 V to 5.5 V
o Wide-Output Voltage Adjust (0.9 V to 3.6 V)
o 160 W/in3 Power Density
o Efficiencies up to 94 Percent
o On/Off Inhibit Control
o Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
o Output Overcurrent Protection (Nonlatching, Auto-Reset)
o Over-temperature Protection
o Operating Temperature Range of -40°C to +85°C
o UL/VDE Approvals

Packaging, Pricing and Availability
The PTH04070W module comes in a double-sided, horizontal through-hole or surface-mount package that measures 12.3 mm x 10.2 mm x 3.5 mm. The power modules are now available in volume production from TI and its authorized distributors. Pricing per module in quantities of 1,000 is $4.28. Lead (Pb)-free & RoHS-compatible versions will be available in the first quarter of 2005. Application notes, reference designs and TI's Q4 2004 Power Management Selection Guide are available through power.ti.com.
