To watch a video overview and demonstration of Micrel’s MIC45212 module, click the image below:

The MIC45212 module is 12mm square by 4mm tall, which is 36 percent less volume than competing products at 15x15x4mm. The module integrates the inductor, PWM controller, power MOSFETs, and passives into the package. This integration reduces the total application size, simplifies the design and PCB layout, and improves reliability. Integrating the passives in the package also allows the module to achieve better EMI performance by reducing the parasitic capacitance and inductance that is unavoidable when placing these passives on the PCB.

By integrating the passives, with this setup, Micrel is able to effectively reduce the AC loop size when compared to a traditional regulator with passives routed on the PCB. MIC45212 modules have been shown to pass the more stringent CISPR 22, Class B specification, simplifying PCB layout and reducing time to market.
