“Industry’s smallest” form factor 1.6MHz synchronous buck regulator provides 95% efficiency

( 01 Aug 2008 )

Intersil Corporation ‘s ISL8009A is an ultra-small, high-efficiency synchronous buck regulator that saves space and offers improved efficiency for a broad range of applications.

The ISL8009A comes in an 8-lead, 2 x 3mm DFN package, and performs DC/DC control and conversion while supporting a continuous load of 1.5A. The device’s current mode control architecture delivers very low duty cycle operation at high frequency with fast transient response and excellent loop stability. It can operate in forced PWM mode or automatic PFM/PWM mode with quiescent current as low as 17 microamps.

The ISL8009A’s highly efficient power conversion under light load conditions extends battery life in portable and handheld applications. A pair of low ON-resistance P-Channel and N-Channel switching MOSFETs is integrated into the IC resulting in a very small regulator footprint. In addition, the internal compensation requires less external components. These features provide a space-saving solution for digital cameras, media players, portable medical instruments, servers, storage drives, KVM modules, industrial programmable logic controllers and other applications.
