Intersil’s New Power Module Solves the 5 Most Difficult Power Supply Challenges
ISL8200M in Space-Saving Surface Mount QFN Package Simplifies Design, Lowers Design Risk and Speeds Time-to-Market
MILPITAS, CA, Jan 25, 2010 – Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ
Global Select: ISIL),
a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog
and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced the ISL8200M,
a compact, scalable power module. This flexible new module provides designers
an easy-to-use general-purpose power solution that satisfies a wide range
of point-of-load (POL) power requirements.
The ISL8200M is a 10A, highly integrated POL regulator in a surface mount
QFN package that includes a PWM controller, power MOSFETs, power inductor
and associated discrete components. It is ideally suited for a broad range
of applications in the computing, telecommunications and networking infrastructure,
and industrial markets.
Today, power system designers face considerable challenges, and performance
demands continue to increase. Unless an engineer is an expert at power supply
design, “getting it right the first time” is very unlikely. Thanks
to its robust, highly-integrated construction, the ISL8200M makes designing
a high-performance POL regulator nearly foolproof.
Five Compelling Features and Benefits
- Simple and easy to use: Constructing a high-performance
POL regulator with the ISL8200M is fast and simple. All you need
are input and output capacitors, a few support components, and a single
resistor to program the output voltage.
- Lowers risk: Power system performance requirements
continue to rise, increasing the risk of design problems. The ISL8200M
delivers state-of-the-art performance without the risk. And with fewer
components, reliability in the field is improved as well.
- Faster time-to-market: Power system design often
happens late in the product development cycle. The ISL8200M minimizes the
risk of product delays—simply drop it on the board, and it works.
Now it’s easy to get the power supply right the first time, and get
your product to market on schedule.
- Smaller footprint saves space: The ISL8200M’s
compact 15mm x 15mm package consumes very little PCB area. And with
its thin 2.2mm profile, the ISL8200M can be mounted on the back side of
the PCB where space is typically free.
- Simplifies inventory: Today, designers must use
different power solutions depending on the output current demands. The
ISL8200M enables a single solution covering <10 amps to 60 amps. This
simplifies inventory by allowing a single part to satisfy a wide range
of POL regulator applications.
Patented Current-Sharing Architecture
The ISL8200M accepts input voltages from 3V to 20V, and supports output voltages
from 0.6V to 6V. A patented current-sharing architecture allows up to six
modules to be paralleled for a total output current of 60A. Remote voltage
sensing also assures precise regulation even in low voltage, high current
applications.
Programmable and synchronizable switching frequency allows designers to optimize
efficiency and control switching noise in noise-sensitive systems. An enable
pin and power-good indicator can be used to sequence modules to meet FPGA
and processor power sequencing requirements.
Unlike some competing power modules, the ISL8200M is assembled in a thermally
enhanced surface mount QFN package with leads around the perimeter. This
provides for more reliable soldering, solder quality inspection and easy access
with oscilloscope probes.
Pricing and Availability
The ISL8200MIRZ is available now in a 23-lead QFN package, with prices starting
at $15.86 each in 1,000-piece quantities.
