ISL8025AIRTAJZ

The ISL8025A is highly efficient, monolithic, synchronous step-down DC/DC converters that can deliver 5A of continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply. The devices use current mode control architecture to deliver a very low duty cycle operation at high frequency with fast transient response and excellent loop stability. The ISL8025A integrates a very low ON-resistance P-Channel (36m?) high-side FET and N-Channel (13m?) low-side FET to maximize efficiency and minimize external component count. The 100% duty-cycle operation allows less than 180mV dropout voltage at 5A output current. The operation frequency of the pulse-width modulator (PWM) is adjustable from 500kHz to 4MHz. The default switching frequency, which is set by connecting the FS pin high, is 1MHz for the ISL8025 and 2MHz for the ISL8025A. Fault protection is provided by internal hiccup mode current limiting during short circuit and overcurrent conditions. Other protection, such as overvoltage and over-temperature, are also integrated into the device. A power-good output voltage monitor indicates when the output is in regulation. The ISL8025A are offered in a space saving 16 Ld 3x3 Pb-free QFN package with an exposed pad for improved thermal performance and 1mm maximum height. The complete converter occupies less than 0.22 in2 area.
