In comparing the STuW81300 to the competition, it will be noted that it is in a 6x6 mm package compared to the 5x5 mm package of most competitors. However, it is important to realize that since the competition does not integrate the required voltage regulators, the total consumed PC board space by the competition including at least two external voltage regulators, is more than the 6x6 footprint of the STuW81300 and its supporting components. It should also be noted that the power consumption figures of the STuW81300 include the voltage regulators.
