μPOL Power Module
TDK μPOL DC-DC converters are compact and highly integrated point-of-load converters for powering CPUs, MCUs, ASICs, FPGAs, DSP, and other advanced digital logic devices, providing the high performance, fast load transient response, and high accuracy voltage regulation required by these devices. Micro-POL converters are high current density power modules that feature a chip-embedded power IC in a thermally enhanced semiconductor-embedded-in-substrate package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as an example Single and Dual Supply Modes can be used with the FS1406 as shown below.

Single Supply Mode
- PVIN = 4.5V to 16V
- PVIN tied to VIN (via 2.7ohm)
Dual Supply Mode
- PVIN = 2.5V to 16V
- VCC = 5.0V / ~30mA (per device)

FS1406 Minimum input voltage requirements datasheet curve [Design Guidelines]
Guideline Example:
- PVIN = 3.3V
- VIN = VCC = 5V
- Vout range: 0.6V to ~1.6V
Notes: upper Vout limit could also be limited to output transients. See Ton(min)
Yes, the datasheet recommends the use of the FS1406-0600 (FS1412-0600) for voltage divider modes as shown below.

FS1406-0600 with External Resistors for Flexible Vout
- Advantages: one device for 0.6V to 1.8 V

Yes, as an example Single and Dual Supply Modes can be used with the FS1406 as shown below.

Design Tools for Custom Vout Prototyping:
- Programming Dongle - TDK I2C Interface Board
- ControlCenter GUI - TDK micro-POL modules
- Standard Evaluation Boards.
Option: Evals a I2C port to customize your Vout
1. Select Your Vout option of the FS1406

2. How to select a custom Vout via I2C for FS1406
- Vout can be trimmed to POL in +/-5mV steps
- Check your Vout with Voltage meter or measurement system
- Each device has volatile register for trimming the Vout
- Each device will have 4 burn fuse banks available once the desired Vout target is achieved
