ISL6217CVZ-T

The ISL6217CVZ-T is a mid-range voltage regulator designed for special purpose applications by Intersil Corporation. The device is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its voltage regulating characteristics, performance, size and flexibility. It is a monolithic integrated circuit that offers efficient power conversion and on-chip fault protection features to maintain voltage stability and improved system performance.

The ISL6217CVZ-T offers two stages of regulation – internal common mode regulation and external compensation. The former applies to its internal switching regulators, which provides improved power efficiency and reliability. The latter applies to its external voltage regulators, which prevents over-voltage, under-voltage, and ESD damage. The device also features a specialized monitoring circuit, which provides precise electrical protection against over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-temperature conditions. The ISL6217CVZ-T is capable of supplying up to 8A of regulated output current, with a maximum output voltage of 10V.

The working principle behind the ISL6217CVZ-T is quite simple. It consists of an adjustable DC-DC power converter, which changes the voltage and current supply levels of the device. The output of the converter is then sent to an external voltage regulator, which acts as a buffer between the device and the power grid. The voltage regulator is responsible for the regulation of the voltage and current supplied from the power grid. In order to guarantee reliable operation, the external voltage regulator is also responsible for protecting the device from over-voltage, under-voltage, and ESD damage.

In addition to the voltage regulator protection features, the ISL6217CVZ-T also features an on-chip power monitoring and protection system. This system monitors and controls the device’s power output, temperature, current, and voltage levels. It also offers a two-stage ESD protection circuit, which prevents the accumulation of static charge on the device itself. The device’s on-chip smart watchdog timer helps to maintain safe operation during system fault and may issue a reset signal if the monitored values exceed preset thresholds.

The ISL6217CVZ-T device is designed to offer accurate and stable output for a wide range of applications, including communications, datacoms, industrial and medical systems, automation, automotive and other industrial processes. Its built-in features enable the device to operate efficiently, reliably, and safely in extreme temperatures and conditions. The device is also available in form factors such as TO-220 and through-hole packages, allowing designers to choose the most suitable package to suit their needs.

The ISL6217CVZ-T is designed to facilitate simple and efficient power management in applications, making it an ideal voltage regulator solution for special purpose applications and embedded systems. Its high efficiency and robust protection features guarantee the utmost reliability and safety.
