Intersil introduces first high voltage power module

This integrated and simple-to-use module solution marks Intersil’s entrance into high voltage infrastructure and industrial applications. The power module supports a wide input voltage range of 10-80V with an adjustable 2.5-30V output range, making it a flexible solution for 12, 24, 36 and 48V applications, including high voltage embedded board controllers. Using a single module, designers can optimise the power efficiency of their designs with minimal cost and decreased time to market.

The ISL8216M is a turnkey power module solution that requires only five external components, streamlining power supply design and reducing design and manufacturing risk. The module is packaged in a rugged thermally enhanced 15x15x3.6mm over-molded High-Density Array (HDA) package, which permits full load operation without a heat sink or fans, preserving valuable board space. The device’s full suite of protection features includes over-current, over- / under-voltage and over-temperature shutdown, further enhancing the reliability of power systems.

Mark Downing, Senior Vice President, Infrastructure and Industrial Power Products, Intersil, comments: “Intersil is a partner for infrastructure equipment makers worldwide that rely on our power module technology to improve the efficiency of their platforms. This latest addition to our DC/DC power portfolio is one of many recently introduced solutions for infrastructure and industrial equipment. The ISL8216M 80V power module breaks new ground for Intersil, expanding our portfolio with a simple and compact high voltage solution.”

The ISL8216M power module is available now and priced at $15.50 (USD) each in 1,000 unit quantities. The ISL8216MEVAL1Z provides an evaluation platform for the ISL8216M and is available now, priced at $41.33 (USD).
