Smallest dual power module

Intersil Corporation introduces the smallest step-down power module in the industry. The ISL8203M, a dual 3 A/single 6 A power module, is used to supply power for FPGAs, ASICs, microprocessors, DSPs, and other point of load conversions. The device provides a high performance, easy-to-use solution for low power, low voltage applications.

The ISL8203M is a complete power system in an encapsulated module that includes a PWM controller, synchronous switching MOSFETs, inductors and passive components to build a power supply supporting an input voltage range of 2.85V to 6V. With an adjustable output voltage between 0.8V and 5V, designers are able to use one device to build a single 6A or dual output 3A power supply.

Designed to maximize efficiency, the ISL8203M power module offers best-in-class 15° C/W thermal performance and delivers 6A at 85° C without the need for heat sinks or a fan. The ISL8203M leverages Intersil's patented technology and advanced packaging techniques to deliver high power density and the best thermal performance in the industry, allowing the ISL8203M to operate at full load over a wide temperature range. The power module also provides over-temperature, over-current and under-voltage lockout protection, further enhancing its robustness and reliability.
