The ISL8272M is a 50A step-down PMBus compliant digital
power module. Integrated in the module is a high performance
digital PWM controller, dual-phase power MOSFETs, inductors,
and the passives. This high efficiency power module is capable
of delivering 50A without the need for airflow and heatsinks.
The ISL8272M can be placed in a current sharing
Features
• Complete digital switch mode power supply
• Wide input voltage range: 4.5V to 14V
• Programmable output voltage range: 0.6V to 5V
• PMBus compliant communication interface
configuration with up to four modules in parallel to deliver
200A continuous current.
• Programmable V , margining, UV/OV, UC/OC, UT/OT,
OUT
soft-start/stop, sequencing and external synchronization
The ISL8272M operates with the ChargeMode™ control
architecture, which responds to a transient load within a single
switching cycle. The ISL8272M comes with operating in a pin
strap mode; output voltage, switching frequency device, SMBus
address, input UVLO, soft-start/stop, and current sharing can be
programmed through external resistors. More configuration such
as fault limits, fault response, margining, and sequencing can be
easily programmed using the PMBus interface. PMBus can be
used to monitor voltages, currents, temperatures, and fault
status. The ISL8272M is supported by the PowerNavigator™
software, a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used to
configure modules to a desired solution.
• Monitor of V , V , I , temperature, duty cycle, switching

frequency, power-good, and faults
• Fast response ChargeMode control architecture
• Multiphase current sharing with up to four modules
• ±1.0% V

accuracy over line, load, and temperature
• Internal nonvolatile memory and fault logging
• Thermally enhanced HDA package
Applications
• Server, telecom, storage, and datacom
• Industrial/ATE and networking equipment
• General purpose power for ASIC, FPGA, DSP, and memory
The ISL8272M is built in a compact (18mmx23mmx7.5mm)
and low profile overmolded HDA package, suitable for
automated assembly by standard surface mount equipment.
