TI’s ultra-small 5.5-V DC/DC step- down power module delivers true 6-A performance Texas Instruments introduced a 5.5-V step-down power module that delivers true, continuous 6-A output current with up to 95 percent efficiency. The easy-to- use TPSM82480 DC/DC module integrates power metal- oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and shielded inductors into a tiny, low-profile footprint for space- and height-constrained applications such as point-of-load telecommunications, networking, and test and measurement power supplies. For more information, samples and an evaluation module, see www.ti.com/tpsm82480-pr. TI’s highly integrated TPSM82480 maintains the required 6-A output current over the full temperature range without additional airflow. This is accomplished using a two-phase control topology that shares the load between the phases to ensure high efficiency and balanced operation. Additional features include adjustable soft start, voltage select (VSEL) to support multiple processor stages, and a power-good indicator. TPSM82480 key features and benefits Ultra-small size: Two input/output capacitors and two resistors make up a complete solution footprint of 80 mm2 that measures just 1.5 mm in height. High efficiency: An optional automatic power-save mode maintains high efficiency across the full load range. Heat protection: Thermal-good output to alert the system to reduce power before overheating. Read the blog post, “Decoding power module derating curves,” to determine thermal limits in a power module data sheet. Availability, packaging and pricing Prototype samples of the TPSM82480 are available now through the TI store. Offered in a 24-pin quad flat micro (QFM) MicroSIP™ package, the module is priced at US$3.57 in 1,000-unit quantities.

ams’ new XYZ color sensor offers widest dynamic range, highest sensitivity for high- end consumer and industrial applications ams, a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, announced the release of a new XYZ “tri-stimulus” color sensor which offers higher sensitivity and a wider choice of conversion times than any other previous device of its type. The AS73211 extends the existing ams portfolio of TCS3430 and AS7261 true color sensors and addresses the requirements of high- end displays, spotlights and colorimeters. A member of the ams JENCOLOR ® family of color sensors, the AS73211 provides enhanced optical characteristics because of its filter-on-glass technology. It offers light and color measurements closely matching a typical human eye’s perception of light, as defined by the industry-standard CIE 1931 tri-stimulus model of human eye function. The new sensor measures color accurately at light levels from 0.4 lux up to 208 klux – a wide dynamic range of 250,000,000:1, enabling effective operation in widely varying lighting conditions, from moonlight to bright sunshine. The high sensitivity of the AS73211 makes it particularly suitable for precise measurements of dark objects and materials, such as black pixels on a display screen, dark skin, black paint or soil, even in low light conditions.
