TDK FS1003-0600 Reference Design for Compact, High-Efficiency Point-of-Load Power

TDK FS1003 µPOL DC-DC converters with integrated inductors, a compact point-of-load power solution for FPGA and SoC applications.

FS1003 3A (3.3V/5.0V) Rated µPOL DC-DC Converters with Integrated Inductor. Modern FPGAs, systems-on-chip (SoCs), and AI processors demand high current at low voltages, putting pressure on point-of-load (PoL) regulators. Board space is strictly limited, and thermal management rules are non-negotiable when current spikes from, for example, AI workloads can go from milliamps to several amps […]

L298N Datasheet Explained: Pinout, Specifications, and Motor Control Basics

L298N in a Multiwatt15 V Package . Microcontrollers like an Arduino or an STM32 are excellent for logic, but they lack the current-carrying capacity to drive heavy loads, such as motors, directly. The L298N is an industry-standard solution to this problem. Produced by STMicroelectronics, this dual H-bridge high-current motor driver is capable of controlling the […]
