Intersil Corporation<\/a>, a provider of power management and precision analog solutions, has\u00a0introduced a pair of highly integrated power management ICs (PMICs) that enable the industry’s first credit card-size motherboards for high-end ultrabook and tablet computers powered by 2-cell Li-ion batteries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Intersil\"
\n<\/a>The single-chip ISL95908 PMIC delivers eight voltage rails optimized to support subsystem peripheral power requirements for new Intel IMVP8 platforms, and the single-chip ISL95906 provides eight power rails for VR12.6-compliant systems. The devices measure 5.5mm x 5.5mm, enabling PC motherboards that are 75% smaller than previously possible using discrete switchers, inductors and capacitors.<\/p>\n

The ISL9590x PMICs address the trend toward slimmer ultrabooks, tablets and 2-in-1 computers that offer more features and longer battery life. Both PMICs integrate a controller, power and driver MOSFETS, VTT LDO regulator, independent enable and power-good indicators, I2C interfaces, and fault protection\/monitoring for eight synchronous buck regulators. They deliver 90% efficiency and integrate 2x more functionality than the nearest competitor, allowing designers to use fewer external components, including smaller, low-profile inductors and capacitors. Now mobile computing OEMs only need three devices \u2013 PMIC, core voltage regulator and battery charger \u2013 to power up the CPU\/GPU, battery, and subsystem peripherals: flash memory, USB, HDMI, audio, sensors, camera module and WiFi.<\/p>\n

The ISL9590x are the industry’s only single-chip solutions that support the Intel and Microsoft Connected Standby standard, which provides an instant-on, always-connected experience similar to smartphones. The Connected Standby low-power mode maintains Internet connectivity, email and applications while the system is asleep. Both PMICs employ Intersil’s proprietary R4 modulation technology, which delivers high light-load efficiency, ultra-fast transient response, and seamless continuous-conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) transitions.<\/p>\n

“Our customers are innovating in smaller and thinner form factors and Intersil’s latest PMIC solutions offer unprecedented versatility, performance and integration to support next generation devices,” said Andrew Cowell<\/span>, senior vice president of Mobile Power Products at Intersil. “The ISL9590x PMICs enable ultrabooks with 360-degree hinges that for the first time allow users to rotate a touchscreen full circle to conceal the keyboard and use the system like a tablet. Manufacturers also have more space to add another Li-ion battery to further extend battery life.”<\/p>\n

The ISL95908 and the ISL95906 are available now in 5.5mm x 5.5mm, 121-bump WLCSP packages.<\/p>\n
