Intersil Releases Samples of 10A, Highly Integrated Power Module Featuring PWM, Drivers, MOSFETs and Inductor in a Tiny QFN Package
ISL8201M DC/DC Module Has 4.5V to 20V Input Voltage Range, 0.6V to 5V Output Range And 10A Current Capability in a 15mm x 15mm x 3.5mm QFN Package
ELECTRONICA, Munich, November 12, 2008 –
Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ
Global Select: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of
high-performance analog semiconductors, today announced the development of the
ISL8201M, a highly integrated Power Conversion Module that saves space, reduces
cost, and simplifies design.
The ISL8201M is a high efficiency, low noise, highly integrated DC/DC power
solution in a thermally enhanced QFN package. Included in the package are the
PWM controller, MOSFET drivers, power MOSFETs and inductor along with an
optimized compensation circuit.
It simplifies power supply design as only input and output capacitors and a
resistor is needed to implement a complete power solution. This small form
factor saves considerable board space while the high integration reduces
procurement and placement costs in various applications such as
telecommunication, data communication, electronic data processing, wireless
network systems, medical & instrumentation and distributed bus architecture
based point of load applications. Also, an onboard input filter supports an
ultra-low noise operation thus reducing EMI.
The ISL8201M achieves up to 93% efficiency and excellent thermal performance
due to the QFN package that is designed to offer an optimum heat transfer
through the PCB. A large copper plate under the package allows the ISL8201M to
achieve a power density of approximately 200W/in3, roughly 4 times that of
conventional open-frame modules thereby eliminating the need for heat sinks.
Other features include internal soft-start, auto-recovery overcurrent
protection, ENABLE pin option and pre-biased output start-up capability.
The high integration and performance of the ISL8201M is housed into a tiny
15mm x 15mm x 3.5mm QFN package
Pricing and Availability
The ISL8201M will soon be available for sampling in a 15-lead QFN package. For
