The iPOWIR iP1203 is a fully optimised full-function 15A single-output synchronous buck convertor device that achieves over 90% efficiency at full load.

International Rectifier has introduced the iPOWIR iP1203, a fully optimised, full-function 15A single-output synchronous buck convertor device that achieves over 90% efficiency at full load The iP1203 is a flexible solution that addresses requirements from 5.5 to 13.2V input and 0.8 to 8V output, maintaining a full load capability of 15A

The new power building block is designed to simplify DC/DC point-of-load (POL) convertors for network processor units (NPUs) and ASIC power rails within networking and telecommunication systems.

The iP1203 is ideal for use in two-stage distributed power architectures being fed from either a regulated isolated brick or an unregulated DC bus convertor.

Offering superior power density, the iP1203 building block integrates a full-function PWM control IC, trench MOSFETs and passive components enabling excellent thermal performance at raised ambient temperature without derating.

The iP1203 addresses important networking and telecommunications power system requirements such as hiccup overcurrent, overtemperature and overvoltage protection, external synchronisation, power good and soft start.

The building block is housed in a land grid array (LGA) package measuring 9 x 9 x 2.3mm.

The iP1203 uses thermally enhanced mould compound, enabling dual-sided cooling capability and very low junction-to-case and junction-to-PCB thermal resistance for maximum current handling.

iPOWIR products simplify power supply design, enabling faster time to market and reduces board space by up to 56% and significantly minimises circuit parasitics when compared with discrete solutions.
