Farnell signs MPS

1 min read

Farnell has enhanced its semiconductor portfolio with the addition of a new range of compact and highly energy efficient power, motion control, and sensor solutions from Monolithic Power Systems (MPS).

Since it was set up in 1997, MPS has patented a range of technologies, including its most notable achievement of integrating an entire power system onto a single chip, which continues to drive the company's highly integrated systems today.

According to MPS, Its mission is simple: to provide green, practical, and compact solutions that help to reduce total energy consumption.

MPS specialises in the manufacture of small, energy efficient and easy-to-use power modules, which are commonly used in systems to support industrial applications, telecom infrastructures, cloud computing, automotive and consumer applications.

According to Farnell. design engineers will benefit from MPS’ specialised single-package power modules which integrate a maximum number of components, including the inductor, to provide an entire power system in one device.

Integrating all components into a single package will help to accelerate the design process and provide much greater flexibility for customers to focus on configuring a device’s attributes.

MPS power modules to be stocked by Farnell, include:

  • The MPM3695-25, a scalable and fully integrated power module with a PMBus interface. It can deliver up to 250A peak and 200A of continuous current and a low voltage output down to 0.5V. Intended for telecom and networking systems, it provides up to 60 percent higher power density compared to discrete point-of-load (POL) solutions and offers a core rail supply for many devices. With a small QFN-59 package and a wide input/output voltage range, the MPM3695-25 power module is also suitable for use in industrial equipment, serves and computing as well as FPGAs/ASIC artificial intelligence and data mining.
  • The MPM3822C is an ultra-small and ultra-low noise step-down power module in a QFN-18 package with an integrated inductor, suitable for space-limited applications, storage and portable products. Providing up to 2A of continuous output current from a 2.75V to 6V input voltage range, the MPM3822C offers improved load and line regulation with low EMI. Other key features include short-circuit protection, cycle-by-cycle over-current protection as well as Enable (EN) and Power Good (PG) for power sequencing.
  • The MPM3811 is a monolithic, step-down, switch-mode converter with built-in, internal power MOSFETs and an inductor. The MPM3811 achieves 1A of continuous output current from a 2.3V to 5.5V input voltage with excellent load and line regulation. The MPM3811 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including high-performance DSPs, wireless power, portable and mobile devices, and other low-power systems.
