Weighing only 8g, the SMPD package is much lighter (typically by 50%) than comparable conventional power modules, thereby enabling lower weight power systems. Due to its compact and ultra-low profile package, it is possible to use the same heat sink for multiple devices, saving PCB space. An added benefit of being smaller and lighter is that it provides better protection against vibrations and g-forces, especially if used in portable appliances, increasing the life expectancy and reliability of these devices.
