Intersil Corporation has initiated a Vendor Item Drawing (VID) compliance program with several power management and general purpose analog devices for the military/high-reliability marketplaces that meet Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) requirements for Vendor Item Drawing certification. Key features of this program are as follows:

• Full Military Temperature Range Guarantee
  (Per individual product VID drawing)
• Enhanced Change Control Notification
• Enhanced Obsolescence Management
  (12 months to order product)
• Fabrication and Assembly Controlled Baseline
• Tin-Lead Plastic Packaging
• Current Density/Electromigration Validation over
  Full Temperature Range

The specifications for Enhanced Product (EP) devices are defined in a Vendor Item Drawing (VID), which is controlled by the Defense Supply Center in Columbus (DSCC). “Hotlinks” to the applicable VID and other supporting application information are provided on our website. These EP products are cost-effective devices that are available in plastic packages.

Enhanced Product (EP) Product Listing (Mil Temp Plastic)

The new program offers design flexibility while still meeting military/hi-rel standards at a fraction of the cost of traditional SMDs. Below are descriptions of just some of the products already released on the VID program.

ISL884xAEP, a family of six unique pulse-width modulator (PWM) controllers featuring fast signal switching and output switching and operate at 30V with a 2MHz switching frequency. They are ideal for applications such as non-isolated boost, isolated flyback and forward DC/DC converters.

ISL6420BMAEP, a rugged, single sync buck PWM controller featuring a wide input voltage range (4.5V to 28V), wide output voltage range (0.6V to 27.5V) and can handle the wide extremes of the military temperature range.

ISL65426MREP, a dual sync buck PWM controller with a wide temperature range and space-saving features like independent enable pins, digital soft-start and 1MHz switching frequency. In addition, this product features the ability to program the output voltage and current through logic pins. For example, the part can be programmed for 1.5V and 4A on one output channel and 1.8V and 2A on the other channel. Output voltage and current options are ideal for powering FPGAs and CPLDs.
