Intersil Upgrades ISL6558 PWM Multiphase Controller to Industrial Temperature Range and Near Chip-Scale QFN Packaging.Business Editors/High-Tech WritersMILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 2003 Intersil Corporation (Nasdaq:ISIL ISIL International Society for Individual Liberty ISIL Interim Support Items List ISIL Intelligence Systems Integration Laboratory (Ft. Huachuca, Arizona; US Army facility for integrating intelligence systems) ), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog and wireless networking See wireless network. solutions, today announced the upgraded Endura(TM) ISL ISL - Interface Specification Language. Xerox PARC. Interface description language used by the ILU (Inter-Language Unification) system. Includes descriptions of multiple inheritance, exceptions and garbage collection. E-mail: Bill Janssen <janssen@parc.xerox.com>. 6558 precision multiphase Mul´ti`phase a. 1. (Elec.) Having many phases; Adj. 1. multiphase - of an electrical system that uses or generates two or more alternating voltages of the same frequency but differing in phase angle PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) A modulation technique that generates variable-width pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog input signal. Like its fixed-width pulse density modulation (PDM) cousin, the output switching transistor is on more of the time for a controller IC - now featuring industrial temperature range and near chip-scale Quad Flat No-lead (QFN QFN Quad Flat No-Lead QFN Queen Fan Newsletter (rock band) QFN Quad Flat No Leads ) package options. The ISL6558 is a precision controller suitable for powering microprocessors, chip sets, graphics, memory, computer peripherals and other low-output-voltage DC-DC DC-DC Direct Current to Direct Current (power conversion) converter applications. The upgrading of this product now makes it available in both commercial and industrial temperature ranges and in both the 16-lead SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. and 20-pad QFN packages. The ISL6558 QFN packaging yields 55% smaller area. The extended temperature range and low thermal impedance QFN package make the ISL6558 an ideal choice for industrial environments. The ISL6558 is a multi-phase PWM controller that, in combination with the HIP6601B, HIP6602B, HIP6603B, or ISL6605 companion gate drivers, provides a complete solution for high-current, high slew-rate applications. The ISL6558 regulates output voltage, balances load currents and provides protective functions for two to four synchronous rectified buck converter channels. Intersil's multiphase buck converter architecture uses interleaved timing to multiply channel ripple frequency, improve thermal performance, and reduce input and output ripple currents. Lower ripple results in fewer and cooler components, lower cost, reduced power dissipation, smaller PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

Lower MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged RDS (1) (Remote Data Services) A set of programming interfaces from Microsoft that enables users to update data on the Internet or intranets from their ActiveX-enabled browser. (on) current sensing is used to measure current in each phase. This approach reduces parts count and cost along with the power dissipation associated with a current sense resistor. Optional output voltage "droop" or active voltage positioning is supported via the IC's DROOP pin. Taking advantage of this feature reduces the size and cost of the output capacitors required to support a load transient.
