A dual-phase, DC/DC digital PWM controller, designated the ZL8801, has been introduced by Intersil. Capable of sharing current across multiple devices, the controller's range can be extended up to 300A for high-end FPGAs and ASICs employed in densely populated power supplies in servers, storage equipment and basestations.

Designed to extend the life of Li-ion batteries in automotive emergency call (eCall) systems, a single-cell battery charger has been introduced by Intersil. The ISL78692's leakage current dissipation of 3μA and charging voltage of 4.1V enables a backup battery to remain charged and be used for a longer period of time.

Increasing smartphone battery life by an hour or more, the ISL98611 power management IC integrates the display power and backlight LED driver functions in a single chip. Significantly improving the efficiency of both functions, Intersil's PMIC also improves display brightness uniformity and colour consistency.

Claimed to be the most versatile high voltage buck solution available, Intersil has introduced a 55V synchronous buck controller with 3A integrated high side and low side drivers. The ISL78268 provides up to 96% step-down efficiency for a wide variety of load currents from under 5 to over 25A to support 12, 24, or 48V high current buck requirements for automotive and industrial applications.

Claimed by the manufacturer to support the industry's widest common mode input voltage range of 0-60V, the ISL2802x family of digital power monitors has been unveiled by Intersil. The three devices provide full featured bi-directional, high-side and low-side digital current sense and voltage monitors with a serial interface.

Expanding the company's radiation hardened (rad hard) voltage reference portfolio, Intersil has introduced the ISL71091SEH10, ISL71091SEH20, ISL71091SEH33, ISL71091SEH40. The manufacturer claims that the family offers the industry’s best output voltage noise and a reference voltage that is stable over time, temperature and ionising radiation.

Intersil announces the TW6872 HD-SDI video transmitter and TW6874 quad HD-SDI receiver with Dirac VC-2 mezzanine compression, an end-to-end solution enabling picture perfect, latency free video over extended cable distances. The devices are designed to conform to the SMPTE standards for SD, HD and 3G serial digital transmission.

Designed for around-view automotive applications, Intersil has announced a four-channel analogue video decoder with a built-in analogue video encoder. The TW9966 can replace up to five discrete components to simplify design and save board space with four analogue video decoders and an analogue video encoder integrated into a single chip.

Designed for high-end desktop and server applications, a six-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller compliant with Intel’s VR12/12.5 specification has been announced by Intersil. The ISL6388 features multiple time programmable NVM that allows for the creation of custom configurations during the design process, eliminating the need for a soldering iron to make adjustments.

Intersil has introduced 3Amp synchronous buck regulators for which it makes the claim that the devices will improve reliability and extend the life of end products. With integrated high side and low side MOSFETs, the new ISL85003/3A buck regulators support an input voltage range of 4.5V to 18V.

A LCD video processor, designated the TW8836 by Intersil, exceeds government safety regulations by displaying rear camera video in less than 500ms from the start of a vehicle. The device is offered with both analog and digital video inputs, a built-in scaler and de-interlacer, as well as image enhancement and On Screen Display capabilities in a single-chip, hardware-based solution.

The ISL8240M power module has been launched by Intersil, with the company claiming the device sets a new standard for efficiency and power density in infrastructure and embedded computing applications. The dual 20A/single 40A step-down power module delivers up to 100W of output power in a 2.9cm2 footprint, whilst also providing more than 90% power efficiency.

  The ISL8216M is an 80V, 4A non-isolated DC/DC step-down power module which provides a complete power supply in a package that can be used across multiple applications from telecomms and network infrastructure to factory test equipment with minimal design effort, speeding time to market.

Intersil has claimed that the HIP2103 and HIP2104 are the industry’s first small form factor half-/full-bridge drivers that significantly extend power usage and overall product life of 5-50V multi-cell lithium ion (Li) battery devices. These bridge drivers have a configurable topology to facilitate half-bridge, full-bridge and three phase motor-driven applications.

Intersil demonstrate the latest additions to their power module family. These digital DC/DC modules use proprietary ChargeMode technology for single cycle transient response performance and compensation-free stability.

Enabling improved efficiency for high current designs in a small form factor, Intersil has announced what the company claims is the industry’s first high-current buck-boost and boost switching regulator family in a tiny, integrated CSP package. The ISL91110, ISL91108 and ISL91117 regulators offer up to 96% efficiency to extend battery life and reduce overheating in high-current handheld devices.

Intersil has announced plans to focus on power management solutions for applications ranging from cloud computing to mobile devices. Leveraging the company’s deep technology portfolio and strong track record of innovation, Intersil's next wave of products will address the most challenging power management issues in systems today, including efficiency, battery life, reliability and intelligence.

Reducing customer design complexity and accelerating time to market, the ISL8270M/71M family of digital power modules have been announced by Intersil. Based on the company’s fourth generation digital power controller, the modules are designed for 25/33A applications in cloud computing and wired and wireless infrastructure.

Claiming to be the industry’s first radiation hardened 12V input POL synchronous buck switching regulator, the ISL70003SEH has been unveiled by Intersil. The regulator is capable of operating over an input voltage range of 3.0 to 13.2V for aerospace and satellite power applications.
