DC-DC Switching Converters, Controllers and Modules

Wide Selection of External Switches, Integrated Switches and Highly Integrated Modules

You need high-performance DC-DC power control and conversion solutions that support a wide range of features and functions to maximize efficiency in your power supply circuits. However, choosing the right product can be difficult because many manufacturers lack diverse package options, product features and support. Fortunately, with our easy-to-use, cost-effective switching controllers, converters and modules, you can design with confidence by spending less time worrying about powering your design and more time adding value to it.

DC-DC Switching Controllers

Controllers With External Power Switching

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance isolated and non-isolated analog DC-DC controllers. Our easy-to-use and cost-effective Constant On-Time (COT) controllers allow you to design feature-rich, flexible and high-performance DC-DC switching power supplies.

We offer the following products:

  • Isolated DC-DC controllers
  • Non-isolated DC-DC buck controllers
  • Driverless DC-DC controllers
  • Boost controllers with external power switches

DC-DC Switching Converters

Controllers With Integrated Power Switching

Our DC-DC Switching Converters are designed for efficient power designs, ranging from powering core supplies needing I2C communication and dynamic voltage scaling capabilities to battery-operated systems with a low-quiescent current requirement.

We offer the following products:

DC-DC Switching Power Modules

Integrated Controllers, Power Switches and Inductors

Our highly integrated DC-DC power modules contain a controller, power switches and the necessary passive components—all of which are fully tested and pre-characterized for EMI and DC performance—to offer a complete switching power supply solution.

As turnkey solutions that speed your time to market, these devices contain optimized pinout for easy layout and assembly.

Analog Front-End (AFE) With Digital Monitoring and Configuration

This solution provides analog control loops with digital oversight using analog references, amplifiers and Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) generators to regulate an output, while configuring, monitoring, measuring and dynamically adjusting that performance with an embedded microcontroller (MCU).

Features of our AFE:

  • Analog power conversion
  • Digital monitoring/adjustments:
    • Measure the environment
    • Respond to the environment
    • Intelligently handle problems
    • Communicate

Power Management ICs (PMICs) (Multi-Output Regulators)

Our Power Management ICs (PMICs) are excellent for microprocessors, FPGAs and other components in complex systems that require multiple power rails and multiple power domains.

Advantages of designing with PMICs:

  • Simplifies power management in complex embedded systems
  • Optimizes power consumption and extends battery life
  • Helps control complex power systems

Power Conversion Advisor Tool

Features:

  • Guided interactive product advisory tool
  • Our advisor analyzes your design requirements and algorithmically aligns our product portfolio to recommend products across all of our power conversion offerings

Power Conversion for Data Center Applications

Our power conversion and control data center-focused products optimize the total system cost and efficiency, while minimizing risks of failure or downtime.
