Photo Release -- Intersil Announces Highly Integrated, Efficient and Flexible Synchronous Buck Regulators
February 26 2014 - 8:00AM
Intersil Corporation (Nasdaq:ISIL), a leading provider of
innovative power management and precision analog solutions, today
announced the ISL85410 and ISL85418 synchronous buck regulators
that are ideal for complex industrial and medical systems. The new
buck regulators efficiently down-convert the DC voltage from a
power supply or battery to power multiple microprocessors and board
components, at various voltage requirements, helping to minimize
power loss. The ISL85410/18 offer designers maximum flexibility,
operating over a wide range of input and output voltages, and
because the devices are pin-to-pin compatible, a single layout can
be leveraged across multiple systems, accelerating time to market
and reducing design cost.

The ISL85410/18 synchronous buck regulators are highly
integrated resulting in better efficiency while reducing the number
of required external components and enabling a compact footprint.
The ISL85410/18 synchronous buck regulators integrate both the
high-side and low-side field-effect transistors (FETs), eliminating
the need for an inefficient low-side diode. By also eliminating the
need for external compensation, the overall bill of materials (BOM)
is reduced to only five external components. The minimal component
count of the ISL85410/18 reduces the solution footprint size and
overall space requirements for a power design, which is important
for space constrained applications.
Intersil's ISL85415 synchronous buck regulator is also
pin-to-pin compatible with the ISL85410/18, and together provide
system designers with a versatile down-converting solution that can
be used to support a wide input voltage range from 3V to 36V with
500mA to 1A options. Designers can easily reuse a single proven,
reliable layout for different power levels allowing for enhanced
flexibility, reduced design time and accelerated time to
market.
"From industrial process control to medical imaging, industrial
designers are being asked to reduce design time and improve
efficiency while ensuring the delivery of robust and reliable
solutions," said Colm Brazil, senior marketing manager for
Intersil's Industrial Power group. "To address the increasing
complexity of industrial system designs and the proliferation of
voltage rails, the ISL8541X family of synchronous buck regulators
delivers an integrated, reliable and easy-to-use solution that
brings flexibility, a reduced component count and improved
efficiency to power designs."
