We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "MLP",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Load switches improve thermal performance from
Fairchild Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Load switches integrate current-limited P-channel MOSFET with protection and control features to simplify design, reduce component count and minimise board space".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release FET and driver combine for compact power from
Fairchild Semiconductor: "Optimised and integrated FET plus driver power stage solution replaces discrete alternative to save more than 80% of PCB real estate".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Semtech
concerning its SC416
- take a look at Step-down controller keeps track of volatges
which says: "Dual-output synchronous step-down controller includes three different tracking modes for startup and shutdown voltages".
Take a look also at the news release from Fairchild Semiconductor, Tiny regulator steps down in size,
as well as Serialiser is made for camera sensor data from Fairchild Semiconductor,
and Convertor boosts power to LCD and LED displays from Fairchild Semiconductor.
