Renesas’ RAA210xxx series of fully-encapsulated step-down switching power modules are the first simple digital modules based on the popular fully digital ISL827xM power module series. They have the highest power density advance power solution for ASICs, FPGAs, and DSPs, increasing available board space and reducing the overall bill of material. The proprietary ChargeModeTM control architecture provides fast transient response and achieves best in class conversion efficiencies. The simple digital control technology provides unprecedented ease of design with real-time system monitoring capability and control via industry standard PMBus interface. This series is a significant first for Renesas, as it delivers high power >20 A to 80 A power modules to the broad market to pursue the broader customer base with much less support needed.
