Press Release Summary:
Model MD5011T contains control IC and main switch MOSFET on single chip SOP-8 package. Offering 90% efficiency, unit features input range of 4.5-14 V and output voltage of 0.8-12 V. It includes remote on/off, overcurrent protection, and built-in thermal protection. Converter is recommended for designers who have employed regulators but find thermal issues to be problematic and have insufficient space for cooling fan.
Original Press Release:
Shindengen Introduces the MD5011T-a 1.4A Step Down Converter Power IC
Shindengen America, Inc. introduces the MD5011T-a 1.4A step down IC converter that offers a higher current rating than the previously released MD5001T. The MD5011T is a low cost device containing a control IC and main switch MOSFET on a single chip SOP-8 package. Despite its small package the MD5011t has over 90% efficiency. The input voltage range is 4.5v to 14v and the output voltage is 0.8v to 12v with a maximum output current of 1.4A. The MD5011T features remote on/off, overcurrent protection and built-in thermal protection.
The MD5011T is recommended for designers who have employed regulators but find thermal issues to be a serious problem and have insufficient space to fit a cooling fan. The MD5011T is particularly useful in, for example, an application that previously employed a regulator for 5V input and 1.8v output at a load of 1A but needs much higher energy efficiency
Shindengen's MD series is a complete line of power IC converters designed to provide a wide range of input and output combinations. The flexible nature of the product line allows the designer to customize the product to fit the needs of the application with wide-range input and adjustable output.
The price for the MD5011T is $.70 in OEM quantities.
