Press Release Summary:
SIMPLE SWITCHER® LMZ10503/4/5EXT, LMZ12001/2/3EXT and LMZ14201/2/3EXT modules combine efficiency of synchronous switching regulator with simplicity of linear regulator. Vibration and drop tested to military and industrial standards, modules have operating range of -55 to +125°C suited for POL conversion applications in harsh environments. Supported max load currents, depending on model, are 3 or 4 A, and input ranges are 2.95-5.5 V, 4.5-20 V, and 6-42 V. Efficiency is rated above 90%.
Original Press Release:
National Semiconductor Adds Nine Extended Temperature Products to SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Module Family
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - National Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:NSM) today introduced nine new SIMPLE SWITCHER® power modules that feature an extended operating temperature range and vibration and drop testing for use in harsh environments. The ruggedized, easy-to-use LMZ10503/4/5EXT, LMZ12001/2/3EXT and LMZ14201/2/3EXT power modules provide the efficiency of a synchronous switching regulator with the simplicity of a linear regulator, eliminating the external inductor and complex layout placement challenges typical of switching regulator designs.
The wide operating temperature range of -55 degrees C to +125 degrees C make the new SIMPLE SWITCHER power modules well-suited for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSPs) and other point-of-load (POL) conversions in harsh environments such as industrial and military applications.
