Power Converter Streamlines POL Converters

Expanding the iPOWIR integrated power conversion stage product line, the iP1206 suits synchronous buck point-of-load (POL) applications including telecom and networking equipment. The device handles two-phase, single-output applications up to 30A or dual independent outputs up to 15A. To reduce input current and voltage ripple, both options rely on synchronized, 180º out-of-phase operation. The device comes in a LGA package integrating a power stage and a full-function PWM controller. Other features include a switching frequency up to 600 kHz per channel, loss-less current limit, over-voltage and over-temperature protection, pre-bias start up, external synchronization, output voltage tracking and sequencing, an input voltage from 7.5Vto 14.5V, and output voltages from 0.8V to 5.5V. Price starts at $6.89 each/10,000. INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER, El Segundo, CA. (310) 252-7726.
