Home Entertainment Applications

For today’s advanced Home Entertainment Applications, integrating a wide array of functionality demanded by consumers into smaller appliances creates space and thermal management challenges. These more sophisticated home appliances must address increased sensitivity to noise which can diminish overall system performance or make government compliance difficult.

Enpirion solves the following Home Entertainment Application challenges:

Shrinking form factors with enhanced functionality

  • Small device footprint, best-in-class power density, and low height recapture precious circuit board space and often enable DC-DC applications impossible by alternative solutions.

Green Initiatives mandating reduced Power Consumption

  • Higher efficiency synchronous buck DC-DC switching offers high power efficiency ensuring substantial power savings.
  • Enpirion DC-DC switchers are often used for LDO replacement due to smallest size and low noise performance.

Performance degradation due to noise sensitivity

  • Integrated inductor reduces AC current loops thus reducing noise generated.
  • High frequency and low impedance design enables low Ripple, Conducted & Radiated noise.

Faster Development Intervals

  • Plug-and-play architecture enables easier and faster power design cycles with first pass success necessary to meet the demanding consumer market product introductions cycles.

High Reliability

  • High level of integration enables 1 order of magnitude better MTBF than competing discrete power solutions which can be directly tied to higher customer satisfaction and brand image.

Enpirion has also partnered with Set Top Box chipset manufacturers, delivering reference designs which benefit from low output voltage ripple and fast transient response.
