Intersil Adds ISL6206/ISL6207 ICs to Endura Line

July 31, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Intersil Corp. (Irvine, CA) announced the addition of its new Endura ISL6206 and ISL6207 ICs to its high-voltage MOSFET driver family, which are optimized for portable power applications such as dc/dc converters and servers and workstations that require high-voltage drivers. The next-generation, high-voltage driver ICs integrate components and logic circuits on-chip.

The ICs feature up to a 2MHz switching speed, a phase voltage over –5V to +36V, patented three-state PWM inputs, an internal bootstrap schottky diode, adaptive shoot-through protection, an enable pin for reduced power consumption, a small eight-lead SOIC package, and a 5V supply and gate drive. The ISL6206 and ISL6207 are designed to drive both upper and lower MOSFETs in a synchronous-buck, dc/dc converter, operating from the high voltages found in notebook systems. Both drivers interface directly with all of the multi-phase PWM controllers in Intersil’s Endura line, which include both the ISL6223 and the ISL6215. Intersil’s portable core power solution includes two to three ISL6206 or ISL6207 MOSFET drivers controlled by one of several portable-optimized ISL6200 Series multi-phase PWM ICs such as the ISL6223 or ISL6215.

The ISL6206 and ISL6207 are available now. Pricing for the ISL6206CB-T IC in an eight-lead, SOIC package is $0.98 in 1,000-unit quantities. Pricing for the ISL6207CB-T IC in an eight-lead, SOIC package is $1.00 in 1,000-unit quantities. Higher quantity pricing is available.
