ZL2005
Digital-DCTM Integrated Power Management and Conversion IC

The ZL2005 is an innovative mixed-signal power management and conversion IC that combines a compact, efficient, synchronous buck controller, adaptive drivers and key power and thermal management functions in one IC. It provides flexibility and scalability while decreasing board space and design complexity. Zilker Labs’ unique mixed-signal implementation delivers the efficiency of traditional analog approaches with the scalability and control of digital implementations. Zilker Labs’ patented power management and conversion technology makes it easy to provide multiple low-voltage, high-current power supply domains on a given PCB.

Analog Efficiency in a Digital Power IC

The ZL2005 is the only digital power solution that exceeds the efficiency of traditional analog implementations. Zilker Labs' patented Digital-DC technology enables the combination of a world-class power conversion circuit with comprehensive power management logic. Unlike pure digital solutions, Zilker Labs' chips have a power conversion (PWM) loop that can operate at a fast rate (Fsw = 2 MHz) while maintaining an efficiency >90%.
