Intersil has filled out its 12V synchronous buck regulator portfolio with the announcement of 5 new members of the ISL850xx family. The new buck regulators step down 12V rails to point-of-load inputs (as low as 0.6V) for MCUs, FPGAs, memory, and peripheral I/Os. The new additions to the range include ISL85014, ISL85012, ISL85009, ISL85005A, and ISL85005.
These deliver a continuous output current of 14A, 12A, 9A, and 5A, respectively, to telecom, test and measurement, server and storage networking equipment, as well as, industrial computers and programmable logic controllers.

The ISL850xx regulators support input voltage of 3.8V to 18V and wide output current range. These high efficiency pin-compatible devices enable lower die temperatures, which facilitates system to operate without cooling fans or heatsinks. Moreover, their internal compensation eliminates additional external components, thereby reducing design complexity and bill of materials (BOM) cost.
