Ultra-low-power MOSFETs prolong battery life
Intersil has launched its advanced new DenseTrench power MOSFET family of discrete power devices designed for higher-efficiency low-voltage power switching applications.
Programmable up-converter simplifies basestations
Intersil has added a new highly integrated quad up-convertor to its CommLinkT family of digital radio ICs for fixed basestation applications.
The ISL84684 has two independent switches, allowing it to replace two discrete SPDT devices where space is critical.
The ISL84684 is a guaranteed break-before-make dual single-pole double-throw switch IC that operates over a 1.65 to 3.6V supply range, making it ideally suited for alkaline, nickel-metal hydride as well as lithium-ion and lithium polymer battery-powered applications.
The ISL84684 provides lower on-resistance, and better on-resistance flatness and on-resistance matching than existing competing devices.
The on-resistance conduction resistance of each switch is a very low 0.29ohm at 2.7V and only 0.4ohm at 1.8V, which reduces signal loss to improve audio output levels in battery powered handheld products.
When operated from a 2.7V supply, the ISL84684 switches have a typical on-resistance flatness and channel matching of 0.03ohm, making them ideal for use in low distortion audio paths such as MP3 players in cellphones, and CD audio devices.
Switching speed at a supply of 2.7V is typically a very fast 14ns turn-on and 6ns turn-off, reducing switching noise.
This is particularly important in headphone audio switching applications.
The suggested resale price in 100 to 999-unit quantities is $1.00 for each ISL84684IR (TDFN) and $0.95 for each ISL84684IU (MSOP).
