Diodes Incorporated has launched a series of automotive-compliant synchronous buck converters. With 2A and 3A current ratings respectively, the AP6320xQ and AP6330xQ devices support a wide input voltage range, going from 3.8V to 32V. They are suited for automotive point-of-load (PoL) applications, including powertrains, instrumentation clusters, telematics and infotainment.

Murata has announced availability of its DFE21CCN_EL series of power inductors for 5G smartphones. Intended for use in DC-DC converters and power management circuitry, these components signify major enhancements in operational performance parameters. They exhibit a 20% increase in saturation current (Isat) and a 50% reduction in DC resistance (RDC) over their predecessors.
