Exar XRP9710/11 Dual 6A Programmable Power Modules
Exar's XRP9710/11 Dual 6A Programmable Power Modules are programmable step down power modules providing two 6A outputs. The module package contains the switching controller, power MOSFETs, inductors and support components. As a result, external components are minimal. A wide input voltage range (4.75V to 5.5V or 5.5V to 22V) allows for single supply operation from standard power rails. The modules measure only 12x12x2.75mm making it half the size of competing 12V capable 6Amp modules. The 2.75mm height allows them to be placed on the back of boards or under heat sinks where other solutions cannot, yet they contain two full 6A buck power stages and two Digital Pulse Width Modulator (DPWM) controllers with gate drivers. Designed to operate at a constant PWM switching frequency between 500kHz and 750kHz, the Digital Pulse Frequency Mode (DPFM) results in better than 80% efficiency at light load currents and low operating current allow for portable and Energy Star compliant applications.
