Mouser Electronics Highlights Energy-Efficient Designs With Power Management Resource Center

Mouser Electronics, Inc has announced the launch of its new comprehensive power management resource center. With the proliferation of compact, high-performance, and battery-operated devices, power management design is critical to achieving optimal performance. 

By leveraging new advancements in power management, such as smart grid management technology, DC microgrids can enhance energy efficiency and power quality. Their native DC architecture provides seamless integration with DC loads and renewable energy systems, such as EV charging infrastructure. Another method of power management is energy harvesting, where improved conversion efficiency in solar, motion, and thermal harvesting techniques extends battery life or even enables completely battery-free operation.

For chip-level power and performance, modern embedded systems today utilize configurable logic blocks (CLBs). CLBs enable hardware-based functions, such as timing control and power sequencing, resulting in faster response times, reduced CPU load, and lower power consumption. Together, these advancements create a balanced system where power is generated, distributed, and consumed with maximum efficiency, fundamentally improving power management in electronics.

Mouser’s technical team and trusted manufacturing partners tailor the resource center content to provide a trusted source of articles, blogs, eBooks, and new products from top manufacturers for power management. The hub also offers infographics on battery energy storage systems (BESS), helping professionals understand the system complexities and how to select the best-suited components. For engineers looking to stay ahead of the accelerating pace of advanced power management, the resource center serves as a valuable resource.

Mouser stocks the industry’s widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the newest products and solutions for power management applications. Here are a few examples:

• The AEM00300 ambient energy manager battery charger by e-peas is an integrated energy management circuit that extracts DC power from an ambient energy harvesting source. The battery charger PMIC extends battery life and can eliminate the primary energy storage element in many applications.
• The MCP16701 PMIC from Microchip Technology integrates eight DC-DC Buck regulators, four 300mA LDOs, and one LDO controller. The PMIC supports Microchip eMPUs with dynamic voltage scaling and high-performance mode, as well as PIC64GX, PolarFire FPGAs, and PolarFire SoCs.
• The xG22-EK8200A energy harvesting explorer kit from Silicon Labs is an excellent starting point for exploring and evaluating various energy harvesting solutions with Silicon Labs’ Multiprotocol Wireless SoC. This comprehensive kit supports assessments of different energy sources for both pulsed and continuous power supply applications, accommodating single or dual sources.
• The MP8853 synchronous step-down converters by Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) are high-efficiency, wide-input-voltage-range devices that deliver up to 4A of continuous output current. These fully integrated converters offer excellent load/line regulation.
