2.5A Synchronous Buck Regulator with
Integrated MOSFETs
Features
• Over 2.5A Continuous Output Current
The ISL8502 is a synchronous buck controller with internal
MOSFETs packaged in a small 4mmx4mm QFN package.
The ISL8502 can support a continuous load of 2.5A and has
a very wide input voltage range. With the switching
MOSFETs integrated into the IC, the complete regulator
footprint can be very small and provide a much more
efficient solution than a linear regulator.
• Integrated MOSFETs for Small Regulator Footprint
• Adjustable Switching Frequency, 500kHz - 1.2MHz
• Tight Output Voltage Regulation, ±1% Over Temperature
• Wide Input Voltage Range, 5V ±10% or 5.5V to 14V
• Wide Output Voltage Range, from 0.6V
The ISL8502 is capable of stand alone operation or it can be
used in a master slave combination for multiple outputs that
are derived from the same input rail. Multiple slave channels
(up to six) can be synchronized. This method minimizes the
EMI and beat frequencies effect with multi-channel
operation.
• Simple Single-Loop Voltage-Mode PWM Control Design
• Input Voltage Feed-Forward for Constant Modulator Gain
• Fast PWM Converter Transient Response
• Lossless r

topology. The synchronous buck converter uses voltage-
mode control with fast transient response. The switching
regulator provides a maximum static regulation tolerance of
±1% over line, load, and temperature ranges. The output is
user-adjustable by means of external resistors down to 0.6V.
• Adjustable Soft-Start
• Pb-Free Plus Anneal Available (RoHS Compliant)
The output is monitored for undervoltage events. The
switching regulator also has overcurrent protection. Thermal
shutdown is integrated. The ISL8502 features a bidirectional
Enable pin that allows the part to pull the enable pin low
during fault detection.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte
tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and compatible
with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free
products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that
meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
