The ISL8270M is a 25A step-down DC/DC power supply module
with an integrated digital PWM controller, synchronous power
switches, an inductor, and passives. Only bulk input and output
capacitors are needed to finish the design. The 25A of
continuous output current can be delivered without the need
for airflow or a heatsink. The thermally enhanced HDA module
is capable of dissipating heat directly into the PCB.

The ISL8270M uses ChargeMode™ control architecture, which
responds to a transient load within a single switching cycle.
The ISL8270M comes with a preprogrammed configuration for
operating in a pin-strap mode: output voltage, switching
frequency, and the device SMBus address can be programmed
with external resistors. More configurations, such as soft-start
and fault limits, can be easily programmed or changed using a
PMBus compliant serial bus interface. PMBus can be used to
monitor voltages, current, temperatures, and fault status. The
ISL8270M is supported by PowerNavigator™ software, a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) that can be used to configure
modules to a desired solution.
