TI Intros 48-V Fly-Buck DC-DCs with Integrated MOSFETs for Automotive and Industrial Applications
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) introduced three new 48-V synchronous buck regulators with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs for single- and multi-output power supplies. The 650-mA LM25017, 300-mA LM25018 and 100-mA LM25019 Fly-Buck™ converters feature constant on-time (COT) control architecture that reduces board space by up to 40 percent when compared with traditional designs that require multiple dc-dc converters. Used in conjunction with TI’s WEBENCH® online design tool, the Fly-Buck converters simplify and speed high-voltage dc-dc designs in industrial and automotive systems.

The LM25017, LM25018 and LM25019 enable non-isolated voltage regulators and multi-output solutions from input voltages as high as 48V. Pin-compatible LLP and PSOP packaging offers a scalable solution that covers a wide range of power requirements. Each Fly-Buck converter can be configured to provide positive and negative voltage rails, or isolated multiple outputs with excellent cross-regulation.
The Fly-Buck converters are pin-to-pin compatible with TI’s 100-V, 600-mA LM5017, 300-mA LM5018 and 100-mA LM5019 wide input voltage range regulator family. For designs that have a 3.3-V or 5-V input source and require an isolated voltage up to 2W, TI offers the TPS55010 Fly-Buck converter with high efficiency and primary-side regulation.

Key features and benefits of the Fly-Buck converters include: Simplify design of a variety of power supplies, including those with isolated multi-output, or positive and negative voltage rails. COT control architecture provides excellent load transient response and eliminates loop compensation, lowering cost and simplifying design. Integrated high-side and low-side N-Channel MOSFETs improve efficiency and eliminate external Schottky diode.
The new Fly-Buck converters are available in volume now from TI and its authorized distributors. Offered in thermally-enhanced 8-pin LLP and PSOP packages, the LM25017 is priced at US$1.25, the LM25018 is US$1.12 and the LM25018 is US$1.00 in 1,000-unit quantities. AECQ-100 qualified versions will be available in May 2013.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
