Digi-Key Electronics
[MERUS]( integrated [audio amplifier]( multi-chip modules, available at [Digi-Key]( are perfect for designers seeking a PWM controller and power MOSFETs in a single package reducing component count and shrinking the PCB size. Improved efficiency, THD, and EMI are the result of controller ICs with fully optimized MOSFETs. MCMs operate without a mechanical heat sink over a wide power supply range and various environmental conditions with high voltage ratings and noise immunity. 5x6 mm and 7x7 mm PQFN packages.
