Founded in 2001 by leading technologists from Bell Labs, Enpirion is creating products based on years of leading edge research in integrated power technologies.

The Enpirion proprietary technology provides designers the performance of a high efficiency switching DC-DC converter with the size and simplicity normally associated with a linear regulator without the heatsink.

The technology represents the first major innovation in integrated power technology in over a decade.

Products

Enpirion manufactures a growing line of Switch-mode DCDC converters with integrated inductor.

Integration of the inductor sets Enpirion products apart from those of our competitors. The layout and placement of the inductor is one of the most common reasons for power IC related failures.

Enpirion solves this problem, reduces foot print, reduces part count, and reduces noise associated with switch-mode power conversion.

Applications include high volume consumer products such as mobile phones, portable game players, MP3 and personal media players, as well as data networking, telecoms, user terminal equipment such as set top box, and of course notebook and desktop PC.

Applications

Enpirion's Power Systems on Silicon (PSOS) provide a powerful Point of Load (POL) solution across a broad range of applications. Designers should consider incorporating our devices when one of the following design considerations are present: PC board real estate is at a premium. There is a need to reduce system power consumption.

• One or more point of load supplies are needed to power key circuitry.

• Designers are striving to simplify design and manufacturing.

• PC board real estate is at a premium.

• There is a need to reduce system power consumption.
