TI Introduces New Magnetic Packaging Technology for Power Modules

DALLAS -- Texas Instruments (TI) introduced six new power modules designed to improve power density, enhance efficiency, and reduce EMI. These power modules leverage TI's proprietary MagPack integrated magnetic packaging technology, shrinking their size by up to 23% to support industrial, enterprise, and communications application designers. 

According to the company, three of the six new devices, the TPSM82866ATPSM82866C, and TPSM82816, are the industry's smallest 6A power modules, supplying a power density of nearly 1A per 1mm2 of area.

By leveraging TI's exclusive 3D package molding process, MagPack packaging technology maximizes the power modules' height, width, and depth to push more power in a smaller space. The magnetic packaging technology includes an integrated power inductor with proprietary, newly engineered material.

Per the company, the result allows engineers to achieve ideal power density and reduce temperature and radiated emissions while minimizing board space and system power losses.

  • Preproduction quantities of TI's new power modules with MagPack packaging technology are available for purchase.
  • Evaluation modules starting at US$49.
