Murata expands micro dc/dc converter line up
Murata has announced additions to its LXDC series of ultra compact dc/dc converters, aimed at a range of mobile consumer electronics such as smartphones.
The new devices, comprising the LXDC55B step down and LXDC44A step up models complement the existing LXDC2UR and LXDC3EP devices.
The LXDC55B measures 5.7 x 5.0 x 2.1mm and can support output currents up to 3.0A. Input voltage is within the range 2.7 to 5.5Vdc across the series and single output models provide the nominal output of 1.2, 1.8, 2.5, 3.0 or 3.3Vdc.
Operating as an output boost converter, the LXDC44A measuring 4.0 x 4.0 x 2.0mm can deliver up to 0.7A output at 5Vdc from an input of 2.7 to 4.5Vdc.
According to Murata, the existing models LXDC2UR and the LXDC3EP, measuring 2.5 x 2.3 mm and 3.5 x 3.2 mm respectively, are believed to be the world's smallest dc/dc converters.
