The DC-DC Converters category covers the MPS buck, boost, buck-boost, e-fuse, flyback, PMIC, PoE controllers and MOSFET driver devices. If the topic concerns one of these devices then use this category. The exception would be for an Automotive part (AECQ qualified), there is a specific forum category for Automotive devices. Forum topics include device operation, component selection, converter theory, or other DC/DC questions.

The Integrated Inductor Power Modules category is used to further discussions and understanding of the topic. Some example topics are design concerns, technical questions, advantages of a module over a discrete part, etc.

The Automotive Solutions category is used to discuss applications of MPS automotive parts and to understand the topic. Some example topics are temperature designs, EMC concerns, design concerns, etc.

The Lighting category covers the MPS Regulators and Controllers for Isolated and
Non Isolated LED Lighting applications. Lighting topologies that we support include Buck,Boost,Buck-Boost and Flyback.
If the topic concerns one of these devices then use this category.
Forum topics include device operation, component selection, converter theory, or other Lighting questions.

The Battery Management category is used to discuss applications of MPS battery managment parts and to understand the topic. Some example topics are battery charging specifications, power path functionality, design concerns, etc.

The Motor Drivers/Sensors category is used to discuss applications of MPS motor driver and sensor parts and to understand the topic. Some example topics are device specifications, interface set ups and capabilities, EMC concerns, design concerns, etc.

The AC-DC Converters category covers the MPS Regulators and Controllers for Isolated and Non Isolated AC_DC applications including controllers for Power Factor Correction (PFC). AC-DC topologies that we support include PFC Boost, Flyback, Forward, Half Bridge LLC and Synchronous Rectification for Flyback as well as Half Bridge LLC Converters. If the topic concerns one of these devices then use this category. Forum topics include device operation, component selection, converter theory, or other AC/DC questions.

The Inductors category is for topics dealing with MPS line of inductor products. Questions dealing with specifications, performance or recommendations are welcome. This forum is not for questions dealing with other manufacturers inductors

Please post any questions related to reference designs to further discussions and understanding of the topic. MPS has many partner reference designs found here: https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/design-tools/reference-design-partners.html
Some example topics are design considerations, helpful tools to use, questions about a specific part in a reference designs, etc.

The Applications category is for general and specific questions related to MPS product integration. Please use this category to detail all project specifications (input/output voltage and current, voltage and current ratings, efficiency requirements, etc.) for MPS Engineers to better assist in your applications.

The Simulation Tools and GUIs category is for inquiries related to MPS simulation and product/design evaluation programs. Posts should be related, but are not limited to:

The Other Products category is for any topics that are not covered in the listed categories. Posts can concern details or issues with any such product
