Intersil's ISL8204M and ISL8206M are additions to the company's power module family that simplify design, lower risk and accelerate time-to-market.
The modules complete switch-mode power supplies in a single compact surface-mount package.
Included within the module is a PWM controller, power MOSFETs, power inductor and associated discrete components. The products are footprint compatible with Intersil's ISL8201M, giving designers the flexibility to fix their point-of-load (POL) power requirements much later in the design cycle and optimize system power needs without having to re-layout the PCB.
The new family of modules is ideal for computing, telecommunications and networking infrastructure, and industrial products.
Today, designers must create different power solutions depending on the output current demands. The pin-compatible ISL8204M, ISL8206M and ISL8201M are 4 A, 6 A and 10 A rated modules that give designers a choice to meet different output current demands without the need to change the rest of the product. Constructing a high-performance POL regulator with the ISL8204/06/01M is fast and simple. All you need are input and output capacitors, and a single resistor to program the output voltage.
As system power performance requirements increase, so do the design risks. The ISL8204/06/01M delivers high performance without the risk. And with fewer components, reliability in the field is improved as well.
Power system design often happens late in the product development cycle, which increases the possibility of product delays. The ISL8204/06/01 decrease the likelihood of last-minute design problems - simply drop the module on the board, and it works.
The ISL8204/06/01M's compact 15 mm x 15 mm x 3.5 mm package consumes little PCB area. With the thermally enhanced QFN package, heat is dissipated through the bottom of the package, which frequently eliminates the need for a bulky heat sink or cooling fan.
The ISL8204/06M operate at up to 95 percent efficiency with a wide input voltage range of 1 V to 20 V. A single resistor sets VOUT from 0.6 V to 6 V.with ± 1 percent accuracy. All three modules also feature overcurrent protection, internal soft start with pre-biased output start-up and fast transient response.
Unlike some competing power modules, the ISL8204/06/01M are assembled in surface-mount QFN packages with leads around the perimeter. This provides more reliable soldering, solder-quality inspection and easy access with oscilloscope probes.
