pSemi, a Murata Company, Unveils Breakthrough Power Solutions for Fast‑Charging Mobile Devices and Next‑Generation Humanoid Robotics at APEC 2026

The leader in capacitive-based power conversion showcases the world’s first 4-level buck converter for battery charging applications alongside new charge pump and two-stage step-down DC-DC converters

New power products designed to solve power challenges in low-profile, high-energy density applications

SAN ANTONIO – March 20,2026  pSemi, a global leader in capacitor switching power architectures and Murata company, today made two major product announcements—the PE26100 multi-level buck converter for direct charging applications and the PE25304 advanced integrated charge pump switching-capacitor power module—that  promise to revolutionize the mobile battery charging industry and enable high-efficiency power conversion to humanoid robotic, dexterous-hand power applications.
The PE26100 Multi-Level Buck Converter for High-Efficiency Power Delivery pSemi has introduced an expanded application focus for its high‑performance PE26100 multi‑level buck converter, now optimized for main, direct battery charging in next‑generation smartphones, tablets, and compact mobile devices. Building on its proven leadership in high‑efficiency power delivery, the PE26100 delivers fast‑charging capability, high output current, up to 6A, and exceptional thermal performance in an ultra‑thin form factor ideal for space‑constrained consumer electronics.

PE26100’s architecture and performance characteristics make it uniquely suited for today’s global migration toward high‑power USB Power Delivery (USB‑PD) and programmable power supply (PPS) fast‑charging ecosystems. Supporting 4.5V to 18.5V input, the device enables 4‑level buck mode for higher USB‑PD voltage inputs and 3‑level buck mode engages for mid‑to‑low input voltages. In applications using USB PPS, the PE26100 can also operate as a fixed‑ratio, capacitor‑divider charge pump, offering divider ratios of 2:1 and 3:1 depending on programmed input voltage.

The PE25304: A Versatile Power Solution for Emerging Robotics and Mechatronic Systems pSemi has also announced the release of the PE25304, an advanced integrated charge pump switching‑capacitor power module engineered to deliver unprecedented efficiency and performance in space‑constrained, high‑power applications. Designed to divide input voltage by four, the PE25304 is purpose‑built for 48V input architectures, with a wide operating range from 20V to 60V, making it a versatile power solution for emerging dexterous hand robotics and mechatronic systems. The PE25304 comes in an ultra-low-profile package (2mm) and can deliver up to 72W of output power. It also achieves an exceptional 97% conversion efficiency, significantly reducing power loss and thermal buildup—key advantages in tightly packed electromechanical assemblies. Beyond robotics, the PE25304 is suitable for drones, medical devices, embedded AI modules, industrial automation systems, and anywhere designers need efficient high-voltage step‑down conversion without compromising system size or thermal performance. In addition to the PE26100 and PE25304 products, the following solutions will also be showcased at APEC 2026:
  • Two-stage Buck Regulators Powering optical transceiver, sub 10nm, low output voltage core applications. Ideal for low profile (~1.2mm) applications for under-side PCB placement to reduce board area and reduce power losses. Latest products include: PE24111: 3.3Vin, capable of 20A output delivery to low voltages in the range of 0.35-0.85V output.
  • Ultra-high efficiency switching capacitor, charge pump divider products for intermediate bus power conversion. Products include PE25213 supporting divide by two and three ratios at 10A output current with efficiencies up to 99%. Products can significantly improve overall system efficiency and extend battery life.
  • Two-stage boost LED drivers, charge pump followed by a boost regulator and LED drivers in a single package. Products include PE23108, an 8-channel driver for high efficiency, low-profile panel displays.
To see pSemi’s latest power-focused products in action, please visit the Murata Electronics Exhibit (booth #833) at APEC in San Antonio, Texas, on March 22 – 26, 2026. Doug Osterhout, Sr. Staff Systems Engineer, pSemi, will also present more details regarding the world’s first 4-level buck converter during a presentation at APEC on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. CST in Expo Theatre 1.
