Personal Mobile Applications

Personal Mobile Applications are continually evolving by packing an increasing level of functionality into an ever shrinking form-factor. It could be a small form-factor broadband data card looking to support increasing data rates or a smart phone looking to add a multitude of new features in a small, ultra-thin handset. To further challenge the Mobile Designer, limits on battery storage capacity drive the need for highly efficient energy conversion to preserve or extend standby and talk times.

Enpirion solves the following Personal Mobile Application challenges:

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
  • Enables improved data-rate capability

Shrinking form factors and increasing functionality

  • Ultra-integration saves precious circuit board space while offering true point-of-load regulation and unparalleled power density
  • Easily provides additional power rails for seamless new feature additions

High Power Efficiency

  • Synchronous buck PWM DC-DC switching offers high active state power efficiency combined with superior light load efficiency and thermals (increased battery life)

Fast Development Intervals

  • Plug-and-play architecture and comprehensive applications support enable easier and faster power design cycles with first pass success necessary to meet the demanding mobile market product introductions cycles
  • Maximizes design reusability and family scalability

Higher Reliability

  • High level of integration enables 1 order of magnitude better MTBF than competing discrete power solutions

Enpirion’s PowerSoCs address these Personal Mobile design challenges and delivers the best balance of the smallest footprint, highest efficiency and superior noise performance to enable the best mobile designs possible.
