Description

The Intel® Enpirion® EN6338QI device is an ultra-small, high-efficiency 3 A DC-DC step-down converter with an integrated inductor that delivers an outstanding combination of power density and conversion efficiency. By integrating power switches, an inductor, a controller, and compensation in a tiny 3.75 mm x 3.75 mm LGA package, the EN6338QI device achieves a total solution footprint of only 45 mm².

The EN6338QI device features higher conversion efficiency and a 45% solution size reduction versus the prior generation Intel Enpirion EN6337QI 3 A PowerSoC^†. The EN6338QI device delivers 3A continuous operating current across the full industrial operating temperature range with no thermal derating required.

Unlike discrete power products, the EN6338QI device is a turnkey point-of-load power solution that gives you a complete power system that is fully simulated, characterized, and production qualified. The EN6338QI device is ideal for applications that require a small solution footprint while maintaining high efficiency, excellent thermal performance, low noise, high reliability, and ease of use.
