Integrated power module provides continuous output of up to 25 A
The MPM3695-20 from Monolithic Power Systems is a compact module which can step down a nominal 12 V input to provide a point-of-load power supply to an FPGA, ASIC or other board-level component.
The MPM3695-20 from Monolithic Power Systems is a fully integrated power module which provides an output of up to 25 A and operates across a wide input-voltage range of 3 V to 16 V.Ā
The module, which has an output-voltage range of 0.5 V to 5.5 V, provides excellent load and line regulation. It operates with high efficiency across a wide load range. Multiple MPM3695-20 power modules can be connected in parallel to support load currents higher than 25 A.
The MPM3695-20 implements multi-phase constant-on-time control, which produces ultra-fast transient responses and enables simple loop compensation.Ā
The moduleās digital interface provides power-system developers with the ability to configure various operating parameters:Ā
- Current limit
- Pulse-skip mode or continuous conduction modeĀ
- Soft-start timeĀ
- Switching frequency, choosing between 400 kHz, 600 kHz, 800 kHz, or 1 MHz
- Fault limits
- Ramp compensation
Telemetry read-outs enable monitoring of the input and output voltage, output current, temperature, and fault status.Ā
The MPM3695-20, which is supplied in a 29-lead ECLGA package measuring 5 mm x 6 mm x 4.4 mm, requires few external components.
