XCL237/38/39/40/41/42/43/44 Series

Step-Down Micro DC/DC Converters with Integrated Inductor

Low Noise and Fast Transient Response with HiSAT-COT® control

Torex latest XCL Micro DC/DC include integrated Coils and utilise our proprietary HiSAT-COT control to deliver fast transient response and excellent voltage stability.  The small package size and internal Inductor mean designers are able to implement smaller, more cost-effective DC/DC circuits, that offer superior performance, much closer to their point of load.  The amount of external capacitance required can also be reduced significantly because of the fast transient response performance.

Low output voltage ripple has always been a cornerstone of Torex DC/DC design and these new families offer best in class performance.  In addition, EMI is measured well below the CISPR 32 thresholds, making these Micro DC/DC Converters ideal for noise sensitive applications.
