Microchip Launches World's First Analog-Based Power Management Controller With Integrated MCU for Flexible, Efficient Power Conversion
CHANDLER, Ariz. --(Business Wire)--
Microchip Technology (News - Alert) Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading
provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP
solutions, today announced its MCP19111,
the world's first Digitally Enhanced Power Analog controller, which
expands Microchip's diverse range of intelligent DC/DC power-conversion
solutions. Microchip also announced the expansion of its high-speed
MOSFET family, with the new MCP87018,
MCP87030,
MCP87090
and MCP87130.
These are 25V-rated, 1.8 m?, 3 m?, 9 m? and 13 m? logic-level MOSFETs
that are optimized specifically for Switched-Mode-Power-Supply (SMPS)
applications. The MCP19111 Digitally Enhanced Power Analog controller, a
new hybrid, digital and analog power-management device, in combination
with the expanded MCP87XXX family of low-Figure-of-Merit (FOM) MOSFETs,
supports configurable, high-efficiency DC/DC power-conversion designs
for a broad array of consumer and industrial applications.

The MCP19111 Digitally Enhanced Power Analog family operates across a
wide voltage range of 4.5 to 32V and offers a significant increase in
flexibility over conventional analog-based solutions. In fact, the
MCP19111 offers the world's first hybrid, mixed-signal power-management
controller, integrating an analog-based PWM controller with a fully
functional Flash-based microcontroller. This integration offers the
flexibility of a digital solution, with the speed, performance and
resolution of an analog-based controller. The MCP19111 devices support
operation up to 32V, and have integrated MOSFET drivers configured for
synchronous, step-down applications. When combined with Microchip's
expanded family of high-speed MOSFETs, the MCP19111 drives customizable,
high-efficiency power conversion.
"The MCP19111 family increases the capabilities of today's
high-efficiency, analog-based power designs, enabling new levels of
flexibility, optimization and integration; all in a very small
footprint," said Bryan J. Liddiard, marketing vice president of
Microchip's Analog & Interface Products Division. "The broad operating
range and integrated, mid-voltage synchronous drivers support
high-efficiency, power-dense conversion with fast, analog-based control.
When combined with Microchip's newly expanded highspeed MOSFET
offerings, they form fast, efficient power-conversion solutions that
yield highly flexible, highly efficient power designs."
Development Tool Support
The MCP19111 Evaluation Board (part #ADM00397, $49.99), which also
includes Microchip's High-Speed MOSFETs, is available now. This
evaluation board is offered with standard firmware, which is
user-configurable through an MPLAB® X IDE graphical user
interface (GUI) plug-in. The combined evaluation board, GUI and firmware
allow power-supply designers to configure and evaluate the performance
of the MCP19111 for their target applications.
Pricing & Availability
Pricing starts at $2.81 each for the MCP19111 controller and $0.28 each
for the MCP87030/090/130/018 Power MOSFETs, in 5,000-unit quantities.
All are available now for sampling and volume production, except the
MCP87018 with expected availability in February. The MCP19111 controller
is offered in a 5x5 mm, 28-pin QFN package. The MCP87030 and MCP87018
MOSFETs are offered in a 5x6 mm, 8-pin PDFN package. The MCP87090 and
MCP87130 MOSFETs are offered in both a 5x6 mm, 8-pin PDFN package, as
well as a 3.3x3.3 mm, 8-pin PDFN package.
