Intersil Corporation - Hi-Flexibility Small Hi-Power LED Driver Drives 8 HB LEDs for Displays, Electronics in Automotive Designs

Intersil’s ISL78100 Features Cost- and Space-Saving Integrated 3A FET and Protection Features in a 4mm x 4mm QFN Package Capable of Being Applied in a Variety of Configurations

MILPITAS, CA, April 10, 2008 – Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL), a apple baton in the architecture and accomplish of high-performance analog semiconductors, today appear the absolution of the ISL78100, a High Power Integrated LED Driver advised for affectation backlighting and anatomy electronics applications. The ISL78100 is advised accurately to bear acrid automotive environments.

The ISL78100 is actual adjustable and can be configured to optimally drive from one to eight HB (high brightness) LEDs, while accepting able of operating in boost, blade or SEPIC configurations. The ISL78100 aswell appearance two methods of authoritative LED ablaze level; a DC bent current, or through the use of an alien PWM arresting for added accurate ascendancy of the LED blush temperature.

In addition, there are alternative chip aegis appearance that the artist can accept from with the ISL78100. An accessible accountability adviser that disconnects the ascribe accumulation can be acclimated to assure adjoin amount dump conditions.

The ISL78100 aswell appearance thermal advantage and a amount abreast switch. The device’s temperature advantage acutely improves LED lifespan and an chip over-temperature ascendancy ambit monitors a thermistor voltage and adjusts the LED bent current. This top akin of affiliation allows designers to abstain the use of cher detached aegis solutions.

The ISL78100 is up to 92 percent able and appropriately will extend array activity in applications if the vehicle’s agitation is off.

The accessory is both AEC-Q100-rated and absolutely TS16949-compliant, including a college action CPK. The ISL78100 is rated for the automotive temperature ambit (-40° C to +105° C) and, with a tiny 4mm x 4mm x 0.9mm QFN package, is the aboriginal chip top ability LED disciplinarian available.

Pricing and Availability
The ISL78100 is accessible now in a 20-lead QFN amalgamation and is priced at $1.32 in 1,000-unit quantities and at $1.39 in 1,000-unit quantities in tape-and-reel configurations. More advice on the ISL78100 is accessible at
