The ISL8002B is a highly efficient, monolithic, synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A of
continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply. It
uses peak current mode control architecture to allow very low
duty cycle operation. ISL8002B operates at a 2MHz switching
frequency, thereby providing superior transient response and
allowing for the use of a small inductor. ISL8002B also has
excellent stability.

maximum is 2A
• External soft-start programmable
• Output tracking and sequencing
• Switching frequency is 2MHz
The ISL8002B integrates very low r
DS(ON)
MOSFETs in order to
• Selectable PFM or PWM operation option
• Overcurrent and short-circuit protection
• Over-temperature/thermal protection
maximize efficiency. In addition, since the high-side MOSFET is a
PMOS, the need for a boot capacitor is eliminated, thereby
reducing external component count.
• V undervoltage lockout and V

overvoltage protection
OUT
The device can be configured for either PFM (discontinuous
conduction) or PWM (continuous conduction) operation at light
load. PFM provides high efficiency by reducing switching
losses at light loads and PWM for fast transient response,
which helps reduce the output noise and RF interference.
• Up to 95% peak efficiency
Applications
• General purpose POL
The device is offered in a space saving 8 Ld 2mmx2mm TDFN
Pb-free package with exposed pad for improved thermal
performance. The complete converter occupies less than
