Synchronous Step-down PWM Controller
ISL8117
Features
The ISL8117 is a synchronous buck controller to generate POL
voltage rails and bias voltage rails for a wide variety of
applications in industrial and general purpose segments. Its
wide input and output voltage ranges make it suitable for
telecommunication and after-market automotive applications.
• Wide input voltage range: 4.5V to 60V
• Wide output voltage range: 0.6V to 54V
• Light-load efficiency enhancement
- Low ripple diode emulation mode with pulse skipping
• Programmable soft-start
• Supports prebiased output with SR soft-start
• Programmable frequency: 100kHz to 2MHz
• External sync
The ISL8117 uses the valley current modulation technique to
bring hassle-free power supply design with minimal number of
components and complete protection from unwanted events.
The ISL8117 offers programmable soft-start and enable
functions along with a power-good indicator for ease of supply
rail sequencing and other housekeeping requirements. In ideal
situations, a complete power supply circuit can be designed
with 10 external components and provide OV/OC/OT
protections in a space conscious 16 Ld 4mmx4mm QFN or
easy to assemble 6.4mmx5mm 16 Ld HTSSOP package. Both
packages use an EPAD to improve thermal dissipation and
noise immunity. Low pin count, less number of external
components and default internal values, makes the ISL8117
an ideal solution for quick to market simple power supply
designs. The ISL8117 utilizes internal loop compensation and
single resistor settings for other functions such as operating
frequency and overcurrent protection. Its current mode control
with VIN feed-forward enables it to cover various applications
even with fixed internal compensations. The unique
DEM/Skipping mode at light-load dramatically lowers standby
power consumption with consistent output ripple over different
load levels.
