International Rectifier Introduced Solution for Synchronous Buck Applications

International Rectifier iP1206

International Rectifier introduced the iP1206, a fully optimized solution for synchronous buck applications including telecom and networking equipment.

The iP1206 is the latest addition to the iPOWIR™ integrated power conversion stage product line, designed for two-phase single output applications up to 30 amps or dual independent outputs up to 15 amps. Both options utilize synchronized 180 degree out-of-phase operation, reducing input current ripple and input voltage ripple. The device is comprised of an optimized power stage and a full function PWM Control IC to achieve high power density.

International Rectifier iP1206

Features include a switching frequency up to 600 kHz per channel, loss-less current limit, over-voltage and over-temperature protection, pre-bias start up, external synchronization, output voltage tracking and sequencing.
