DC/DC converter requires less board space
Targeted at embedded computing, storage, telecom, datacom and networking applications, Intersil's ZL2008 is said to require up to 50% fewer components and half the pcb space of competitive solutions
The synchronous step down dc/dc converter features pin-strap compensation and current sharing. Using Zilker's Digital-DC technology, the ZL2008 is designed for digital power supply module and system designers looking for ease of board level power supply configuration.
The part's compensation and transient response can be optimised for load current and output capacitance by adjusting resistor pin straps. Current can be shared by up to eight devices in parallel.
The synchronous buck converter features integrated 3A mosfet drivers that operate from a single supply ranging from 3 to 14V. Output voltages range from 0.54 to 5.5V, with ±1% output voltage accuracy and the part can operate over frequencies ranging from 200kHz to 1.4MHz. Power management features include coincidental/ratiometric tracking, power up/down sequencing, voltage margining, and voltage and current monitoring.
