Intersil's New 100V Linear Regulator Will Save Board Space and Cost for Telecom Applications
— The ISL6719 100V Linear Regulator Performs the Functions of up to 15 Discrete Components in Less Than Half the Space
MILPITAS, CA, Dec. 20, 2007 Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog semiconductors, today announced the ISL6719, a 100V linear regulator that complements Intersils recently released 100V triple output linear regulator, the ISL6720A. The new regulator provides steady, accurate voltage for a wide variety of applications such as telecommunications and networking systems. With its highly integrated architecture, the new IC handles the functions of up to 15 discrete components, but its small 3 x 3 millimeter high thermal performance DFN package means it requires less than half the board space of a comparable solution based on discrete chips.
Beyond the dramatic space and component procurement and placement savings, the ISL6719s high level of integration and carefully selected features will allow system designers to simplify their design process, improve overall system reliability and efficiency, and reduce cost. ISL6720A and ISL6719 are the industrys first 100V linear regulators that offer a total biasing solution in such a small package for isolated power Telecom/Datacom applications.
The ISL6719 is ideal for use as a single start up linear regulator in isolated power designs, or as an output bias supply for point-of-load regulators in Telecom/Datacom applications. The control circuitry used in Telecom/Datacom applications typically requires an operating bias voltage significantly lower than the source voltage available to the converter, and thus many applications require a discrete linear regulator. When implemented discretely, this circuitry occupies significant space, a considerable problem in todays high-density converters. The ISL6719 linear regulator simplifies the start-up and operating bias circuitry needed in Telecom and Datacom DC/DC converters by integrating these functions and many other features into an extremely small IC.
Pricing and Availability
The ISL6719 is available in a 9 Ld 3 x 3mm DFN package in quantities of 100-999 for $1.25, or in a 9 Ld 3 x 3 DFN T+R package for $1.27. About Intersil
