Intersil Corporation - Industry’s Smallest Form Factor 1.6MHz Synchronous Buck Regulator Provides 95% Efficiency

Tiny ISL8009A Regulator Supports Continuous 1.5A Load Ideal for Extending Battery Life in a Wide Range of Computer, Consumer, Peripheral and Instrumentation Designs

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 alien the ISL8009A, an ultra-small, high-efficiency ancillary blade regulator that saves amplitude and offers bigger ability for a ample ambit of applications.

The ISL8009A comes in an 8-lead, 2mm x 3mm DFN amalgamation and performs DC/DC ascendancy and about-face while acknowledging a connected amount of 1.5A. The device’s accepted approach ascendancy architectonics delivers actual low assignment aeon operation at top abundance with fast brief acknowledgment and accomplished bend stability. It can accomplish in affected PWM approach or automated PFM/PWM approach with quiescent accepted as low as 17 microamps.

The ISL8009A’s awful able ability about-face beneath ablaze amount altitude extends array activity in carriageable and handheld applications. A brace of low ON-resistance P-Channel and N-Channel switching MOSFETs is chip into the IC consistent in a actual baby regulator footprint. In addition, the centralized advantage requires beneath alien components. These appearance accommodate a space-saving band-aid for agenda cameras, media players, carriageable medical instruments, servers, accumulator drives, KVM modules, automated programmable argumentation controllers and added applications.

A 2-millisecond Power-on-reset (POR) and accredit (EN) outputs accommodate centralized voltage ecology and sequencing. The timer achievement can be displace through the displace arrangement ascribe (RSI) pin. For added safety, the ISL8009A discharges the achievement capacitor through a 100 ohm resistor if the appliance is shut down.

Other appearance cover centralized agenda soft-start, accredit for ability sequence, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown.

Pricing and Availability

The ISL8009A is accessible now in 8-lead 2mm x 3mm DFN packages, just 1 mm in height. Pricing starts at $1.52 anniversary in 1,000-piece quantities.
