What components are integrated into the micro-module
Each μModule is a fully integrated DC/DC power solution, delivered as a complete system-in-package: with an integrated inductor, MOSFET, DC/DC regulator IC, and supporting components (Figure 3). They are available with output currents ranging from 2A to 20A and voltages from. The microcontroller is essentially a simple mini-computer embedded on a single integrated chip, it requires many of the same basic components as a larger and more complex computer. The designer simply has to combine a suitable controller integrated circuit (IC), metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and their drivers, and some passives, and the design is all done, in theory, to convert and regulate a DC input voltage while also providing DC output. This includes a dc-to-dc controller, MOSFET dice, magnetics, capacitors, resistors, and so on, all mounted on a thermally. Most recently, manufacturers have introduced the "intelligent micro module," which fuses the Internet of Things and digital and information technology.
