Avnet Abacus announced the availability of EN5339 from Enpirion, which is claimed to be the smallest 3A point-of-load DC-DC converter around. Targeting embedded computing applications as well as solid-state drives, the 3A EN5339 system-on-a-chip integrates the controller, power MOSFETs, compensation network and inductor into one highly compact solution that significantly reduces the engineering and design effort traditionally associated with discrete DC-DC converter designs.
