October 5, 2012 – Intersil, a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced an expansion of its "HIP" portfolio of MOSFET bridge drivers for power supply and motor drive applications. The half-bridge driver with 100V, 2A, high-frequency configuration reduces rise/fall times, features adjustable dead time control, and provides flexible control output.

The HIP2120, HIP2121, HIP2122, and HIP2123 products can control half-bridge MOSFETs and offer greater flexibility to reduce the number of components in application circuits. In addition, the integrated delay timer eliminates shoot-through current that can occur in half-bridge and synchronous buck topologies, allowing designers to adjust dead time between the two outputs via external resistors. The new drivers are designed for isolated communication half-bridge DC/DC converters, non-isolated DC/DC converters, motor drivers, Class-D amplifiers, and various other application purposes.

Features and Specifications
• Driver rise and fall time of 10ns
• Integrated delay timer compatible with external resistors
• HIP2120 and HIP2121 include single PWM input and enable pin
• HIP2122 and HIP2123 include independently operating high-side and low-side inputs
• HIP2120 and HIP2122 include CMOS-compatible input with hysteresis
• HIP2121 and HIP2123 include 3.3V TTL-compatible input
• Wide supply voltage range from 8V to 14V with under-voltage protection

Pricing and Availability
The HIP212x series is available in a 4x4mm, 10-pin or 9-pin integrated DFN package format and is priced from $1.67 per unit in quantities of 1,000. Additional information is available at http://www.intersil.com/products/HIP2120
