Intersil shows its power management portfolio at Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC)

The ISL8601 is a PMBus-compliant, single-phase PWM controller with integrated MOSFET drivers that utilises analogue voltage mode control and can be operated directly off a 12V power supply. The PMBus digital interface allows power supply designers to configure, control and monitor their power supplies through software, eliminating the need for hardware changes and allowing extensive measurement and reporting of power supply operating parameters without any external components. Analogue voltage mode control assures well known and easily modelled loop dynamics and transient response without the complexity and uncertainty that would be present in a digital control loop system.
