ZMDI Expands its Smart Power Management Product Portfolio with the ZSPM9060, a Next-Generation DrMos Device for Highest Energy Efficiency

DRESDEN, Germany, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    ZMD AG (ZMDI [http://www.zmdi.com ]), a Dresden-based semiconductor company that
specializes in enabling energy-efficient solutions, today announces the release of the
ZSPM9060, a next-generation, fully optimized, ultra-compact, integrated MOSFET-plus-driver
(DrMOS) power stage solution for energy-efficient, high-current, high-frequency,
synchronous buck DC-DC applications. As a global supplier of analog and mixed-signal
solutions for automotive, industrial, medical, information technology and consumer
applications, ZMDI [http://www.zmdi.com ] is expanding its smart power management
portfolio with the ZSPM9060, a new product for non-isolated DC/DC point-of-load (POL)
supply applications.
