December 11, 2003- For the second consecutive year, a power management innovation from
International Rectifier has won the Product of the Year Award from
Electronic Products magazine. This year, editors chose International Rectifier's
XPhaseTM chip set, which enables a flexible scalable multiphase power management architecture for today's most advanced microprocessors used in servers, workstations, and networking equipment.

Developed specifically for multiphase, interleaved buck DC-DC converters, IR's XPhase chip set consists of the
IR3081 Control IC and the
IR3086 Phase IC, and provides a high performance solution that exceeds the VRM or EVRD 10.x requirements. Unlike other multiphase solutions that are limited in the number of phases they drive, the IR XPhase architecture can support from 1 to "X" phases. Phases can be added or removed without changing the fundamental design.
