Texas Instruments LMZ3 SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Modules provide an easy point-of-load (POL) solution by integrating a DC/DC converter, inductor, and passives into a small, thin QFN package. As few as 3 external components are required for high performance and high density POL design, making layout extremely simple. The small QFN package is easy to solder onto a printed circuit board and allows a compact POL design with greater than 90% efficiency and excellent power dissipation capability. Offering the flexibility and the feature-set of a discrete POL design, the LMZ3 Series is ideal for powering FPGAs.
