Nine new extended operating temperature range models—the LMZ10503/4/5EXT, LMZ12001/2/3EXT and LMZ14201/2/3EXT--provide the efficiency of a synchronous switching regulator with the simplicity of a linear regulator, eliminating the external inductor and complex layout placement challenges typical of switching regulator designs.
With an operating junction temperature range of -55 degrees C to +125 degrees C as well as vibration and shock resistance the new Simple Switcher power modules are suitable for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSPs) and other point-of-load (POL) conversions in harsh environments such as industrial and military applications.
