The Intel® Enpirion® EP53A8HQA/LQA are 1A, 5 MHz AEC-Q100 qualified DC-DC step-down (buck) converters with integrated inductors that achieve a total solution footprint as small as 21 mm2, without compromising efficiency.
Complete power system-on-a-chips (PowerSoCs), the EP53A8HQA/LQA integrate power switches, inductor, gate drive, controller, and compensation in a tiny 3 mm x 3 mm package. The 1.1 mm profile and small footprint enable the use of this part where space is at a premium. In addition, these point-of-load solutions require only two tiny multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), reducing the overall solution cost and simplifying the supply chain. The EP53A8LQA also has the option to use an external voltage divider.
The EP53A8HQA/LQA utilize a 3-pin VID output voltage selector that allows the designer to choose one of seven pre-defined output voltage levels, or an external voltage divider can be employed to set the output voltage.
These power management ICs are excellent choices for low-power applications that require a small solution footprint, high efficiency, exceptional thermal performance, low noise, high reliability, and ease of use.
