SubsidieMeestersThe World’s Smallest Power Converters
Lotus's Power Interposer Technology enables ultra-small, energy-efficient converters for mobile devices, enhancing performance and design flexibility while maintaining CMOS compatibility.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Ultra small low power converters for mobile devices are essential for enhancing device performance while minimizing space. Lotus patented Power Interposer Technology (PIT) optimizes electronic devices’ performance and, at the same time, makes the converters much smaller. This technology secures improved energy efficiency and thermal stability.
Technology Overview
Lotus converters have CMOS compatibility, meaning they can integrate all components such as FETs, inductors, and capacitors into a single substrate. This is achieved by using silicon-based materials and manufacturing technology.
Size and Efficiency
The size of Lotus power converters is 1/3 to 1/10 of existing converters. This reduction in size frees up limited space in devices, enabling:
- Adding new features
- Further device miniaturization
This added flexibility has high value for various smart electronics, where size and high efficiency are key limiting design factors.
Market Impact
Lotus converters will be priced similarly to current converters. Hence, device manufacturers can capture the full value of the created improved design flexibility.
