Intersil Announces New 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,
10A Current Capability in a 15mm x 15mm x 3.5mm QFN Package
Milpitas,
CA, 12 May, 2009 – Intersil
Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL),
a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog
semiconductors, today announced 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 is a high performance
PWM controller capable of switching at 600 kHz, power MOSFETs, an inductor,
and all the passive components required for a complete DC/DC power solution.
The ISL8201M simplifies power supply design as only minimal external components
are 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 and
instrumentation, and point-of-load applications based on a distributed-bus
architecture. Also, an onboard input filter supports ultra-low noise
operation thus reducing EMI.
The ISL8201M is capable of delivering 10A (17A peak) output current with up
to 95% efficiency, without the need for heat sinks or airflow to meet
power specifications. Other features include internal compensation, internal
soft-start, auto-recovery overcurrent protection, an enable option, and pre-biased
output start-up capability.
The high integration and performance of the ISL8201M is housed in a tiny 15mm
x 15mm x 3.5mm QFN package that is designed to offer optimum heat transfer
through the PCB for excellent thermal performance. A large copper plate under
the package allows the ISL8201M to achieve a power density of approximately
200W/in3, roughly four times that of conventional open-frame modules, thereby
eliminating the need for heat sinks. The QFN package improves adherence to
the PCB and improves overall reliability of end products. Additionally, all
functional pins are brought out on the sides to make probing and debugging
easier.
Pricing and Availability
The ISL8201M is available in a 15-lead QFN package and priced at $14.17 in
1000-unit quantities.
