Intersil Debuts Endura HIP6311A Power Controllers

September 04, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Intersil Corp. (Irvine, CA) announced the Endura HIP6311A, a multiphase power controller that provides extremely accurate control to power high-performance microprocessors. This precision control helps ensure stable operation and reliability.

The HIP6311A is a two- to four-phase synchronous-buck pulse-width modulation controller featuring a five-bit digital-to-analog converter that adjusts the core voltage from 1.100V to 1.850V with an accuracy of +/-0.5 percent over-temperature. This tolerance is absolutely necessary for new and next-generation processors.

"Industry confidence in our Endura power control products is clearly demonstrated with over 50 percent of the world's Pentium 4 motherboard manufacturers using our power solutions," said Rick Furtney, vice president and general manager of Intersil's Analog Business Unit. "The HIP6311A is part of our strategy to continue to gain market share by anticipating the next-generation microprocessor power requirements and continuing to cultivate strong relationships with our customers."

The HIP6311A is available now. Pricing, based on one- and ten-thousand piece quantities, is as follows: the HIP6311ACB 20-lead SOIC, 0 to +70 degrees C, 1,000, is $2.96; the HIP6311ABC 20-lead SOIC, 0 to +70 degrees C, 10,000, is $2.40.
