Modules Offer Industry- Leading Power Density and Efficiency Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leading provider of innovative power management and precision analog solutions, today announced two new single-channel DC/DC step-down power modules that deliver high power density and up to 95% efficiency in a compact 4.5mm x 7.5mm x 1.85mm footprint. The pin-compatible 5A ISL8205M and 3A ISL8202M provide point-of- load (POL) conversions for FPGAs, DSPs and MCUs in a wide range of home networking and high-end consumer products, as well as portable industrial equipment that use Li-ion batteries. The modules are complete power supplies that include a controller, MOSFETs, inductor and passive components inside an encapsulated module, simplifying system design. With a height of 1.85mm, the ISL8205M and ISL8202M can be directly mounted on the backside of a PCB, freeing up valuable space for topside mounted components. Both devices support input voltages from 2.6V to 5.5V and offer adjustable output voltages as low as 0.6V. The pin compatibility allows engineers to start with a 3A power module and later migrate to the higher 5A output current, or design a power tree with multiple POL output rails. For battery-operated applications, the ISL8205M and ISL8202M offer unique efficiency and power saving features to extend battery life and support Energy Star® compliant products. Selectable light load

powered from either a 3.3V or 5V supply, and consumes 30mW with a 3.3V supply and 50mW at 5V. The high speed SPI-compatible CMOS or LVDS serial interface is ideal for highly integrated high speed systems. The LTC2311-16 is available today in commercial, industrial and automotive (-40°C to 125°C) temperature grades. Other devices in the family will be releasing through 2016. Pricing begins at $9.95 each in 1,000-piece quantities. Samples and demo boards may be requested LTC2311-16, or by contacting your local Linear Technology sales office. Summary of Features: LTC2311-16 5Msps (LTC2311) or 2Msps (LTC2310) Throughput Rate 8Vp-p Differential Input with Wide Input Common Mode 81.6dB SNR, -90dB THD at fIN = 2.2MHz (16 Bits) ±3LSB INL (Typ), ±8LSB INL (Max) Low Drift (20ppm/°C Max), 2.048V or 4.096V Internal Reference Single 3.3V or 5V Supply No Cycle Latency (LTC2310) Low Power Dissipation of 30mW (3.3V) or 50mW (5V) CMOS or LVDS SPI-Compatible Serial I/O Guaranteed Operation from -40°C to 125°C Small 16-Lead 4mm x 5mm MSOP Package 16-Bit 5Msps SAR ADC with Wide Input Common Mode Range

efficiency, 100% duty cycle modes and 50µA quiescent current enable better efficiency and lower power consumption at light load. Both power modules leverage Intersil’s patented technology and advanced packaging to offer high power density and superior thermal dissipation performance. A copper lead-frame structure allows the modules to operate at full load over a wide temperature range with no airflow or heatsinks. The ISL8205M and ISL8202M also provide several protection features that ensure safe operations under abnormal operating conditions, further enhancing their robustness and reliability. “The ISL8202M and ISL8205M analog power modules speed time to market and provide the industry’s best combination of power density and performance,” said Mark Downing, senior vice president of Infrastructure and Industrial Power Products at Intersil. “Their size, light load efficiency and 100% duty cycle performance gives customers everything they need to address their increasingly compact battery- powered designs.” Key Features and Specifications of ISL8205M and ISL8202M Single-channel 5A and single- channel 3A switching power supplies Pin compatibility Up to 95% efficiency Wide input voltage range from 2.6V to 5.5V Adjustable output as low as 0.6V with +/- 1.6% accuracy over line, load and temperature
