TI pioneers new magnetic packaging expertise for energy modules, reducing energy answer dimension in half

Information highlights:

• New energy modules with MagPack expertise are as much as 50% smaller than earlier generations, doubling energy density whereas sustaining glorious thermal efficiency.
• The {industry}’s smallest 6A energy modules cut back electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiation by 8dB and concurrently enhance effectivity by as much as 2% in comparison with predecessors.

Texas Devices as we speak launched six new energy modules designed to enhance energy density, improve effectivity and cut back EMI. These energy modules leverage TI’s proprietary MagPack built-in magnetic packaging expertise, shrinking their dimension by as much as 23% in comparison with competing modules, enabling designers of business, enterprise and communications purposes to attain beforehand unimaginable efficiency ranges.  In actual fact, three of the six new gadgets, the TPSM82866A, TPSM82866C and TPSM82816, are the {industry}’s smallest 6A energy modules, supplying an industry-leading energy density of practically 1A per 1mm² of space.

“Designers flip to energy modules to avoid wasting on time, complexity, dimension and part depend, however these advantages have required a compromise on efficiency – till now,” mentioned Jeff Morroni, director of energy administration analysis and improvement at TI’s Kilby Labs. “After practically a decade within the making, TI’s built-in magnetic packaging expertise allows energy designers to fulfill the defining energy pattern that has formed our {industry} – pushing extra energy in smaller areas effectively and cost-effectively.”

Pushing extra energy in smaller areas

In energy design, dimension issues. Energy modules simplify energy designs and save priceless board house by combining an influence chip with a transformer or inductor in a single bundle. By leveraging TI’s unique 3D bundle molding course of, MagPack packaging expertise maximizes the peak, width and depth of the ability modules to push extra energy in a smaller house.

The magnetic packaging expertise contains an built-in energy inductor with proprietary, newly engineered materials. In consequence, engineers can now obtain best-in-class energy density and cut back temperature and radiated emissions whereas minimizing each board house and system energy losses. These advantages are particularly necessary in purposes akin to knowledge facilities, the place electrical energy is the largest price issue, with some analysts predicting a 100% improve in demand for energy by the tip of the last decade.
