Just came across what appears to be a new family of microchip switching reg= ulators (least I hadn't noticed them before, but datasheet is (c) 2011). Bo= th series are synchronous buck regulators with both FETS internal, so 3 cap= s, 1 inductor and 1 to 3 resistors required. Both come in 3 x 3 QFN package= though. MCP16321/2 24V in, 1/2A out fixed (down to 0.9V, up to 5V) or variable over= 0.9 to 5V. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/22285A.pdf around US$2.21 in ones. MCP16323 18V in 3A out fixed and adjustable versions, same voltage range as= above. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/22284A.pdf around US$2.48 in ones. --=20 Scanned by iCritical. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
