The MCPF1412 power module is designed to provide superior performance and reliability, ensuring efficient power conversion and reduced energy loss. The compact package measures 5.8 mm × 4.9 mm × 1.6 mm, and the innovative pad grid array (LDA) package reduces the required board space by more than 40 percent compared to traditional discrete solutions. This miniaturized design combined with enhanced reliability and minimized PCB switching and RF noise make the MCPF1412 an industry-leading product.
The MCPF1412 is highly compatible with our FPGA and PCIe® solutions and is designed to provide a complete solution for Microchip customers,” said Rudy Jaramillo, vice president of Microchip's analog power interface business. When used in conjunction with other Microchip devices, this innovative solution offers significant space savings by reducing chip layout.”
The MCPF1412M06 is a multifunctional device that provides a high degree of flexibility for configuration and system monitoring via I2C and PMBus interfaces. In addition, the module supports stand-alone operation without a digital interface, allowing designers to easily configure the output voltage through simple resistor divider adjustments and monitor the system with the power good output.
Other key features of the MCPF1412 include: over-temperature, over-current and over-voltage protection and other multi-diagnostic features to effectively improve performance and reliability; applicable operating temperature range of the junction temperature (TJ) -40 ° C to +125 ° C; on-board embedded EEPROM can be used to program the default power-up configuration.
Microchip offers a wide range of DC-DC power modules with input voltages from 5.5-70V in ultra-compact, highly ruggedized and thermally enhanced package designs for high power density.
