Power Integrations Introduces Innovative eSIP Power Package to
Support Low-Profile Trend in Consumer Electronics
TOPSwitch®-HX Family Of Products
Launched In New Compact Form Factor, Simplifies Thermal Design
SAN JOSE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) March 2, 2008 --
Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI),
the leader in high-voltage analog integrated circuits for power
conversion, today announced the availability of its TOPSwitch-HX
series of AC-DC power conversion ICs in the new eSIP-7C
Eco-Single-Inline-Package. This package exhibits the same low thermal
impedance as the traditional TO-220, yet stands less than 10mm above the
PCB - half the height of the 45 year old package, and takes less board
space eSIP-based designs reduce the overall height of the power supply
in support of increasing market demand for slimmer electronic products
such as LCD monitors, flat screen TVs and set-top boxes.
As with all Power Integrations products, the heatsink attached to the
eSIP package is at Source potential and therefore electrically quiet
without the use of an insulating pad, greatly reducing system EMI and
assembly cost. In addition to thermal and physical size benefits, the
new eSIP package also reduces power supply manufacturing costs. An
easy-to-use, low-cost clip reduces heatsink assembly time and improves
package to heatsink contact repeatability, ensuring consistently good
thermal performance in contrast to the asymmetrically-mounted screw tab
on the older TO-220 package design. The clip-mounted eSIP passes shock
and vibration tests to IEC 60068.
In addition to offering a compact form factor, the eSIP package meets
the high voltage creepage and clearance requirements through innovative
design of the package and the pin layout.
Comments Andrew Smith, product marketing manager at Power Integrations: “The
new eSIP package removes the power device as the limiting factor in the
headroom required by the power supply in the new generation of slim LCD
monitors, flat screen TVs and set-top boxes. Applications such as high
power adapters for a variety of products really benefit from the low
profile eSIP package. More information is in the TOPSwitch-HX
Data Sheet."
