Continuous Output Current and LDOs
ISL95901
Features
The ISL95901 is a dual, high-efficient buck regulator capable
of 4A per channel continuous output current. It integrates two
LDOs and one low-impedance switch. This power management
IC delivers power in portable and embedded systems. With an
input range of 4.5V to 16V, it provides a high frequency power
solution for a variety of point-of-load applications. Outputs are
adjustable to meet system needs.
• Wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 16V
• Adjustable output voltages with continuous output current
up to 4A
• 1% accuracy over temperature and V range
CC
• Built-in low-power LDO for external µC
• Built-in compensation
A PWM controller drives two pairs of internal switching
N-channel power MOSFETs to generate output voltage. The
integrated power switch is optimized for excellent thermal
performance for up to 4A of output current per channel.
• Internally set SS and OCP
• Independent enable, power-good and standby control inputs
for each output
• Innovative R4™ Modulator
• Boot undervoltage detection
The ISL95901 modulator features Intersil R4™ Technology,
which combines the best features of fixed-frequency and
hysteretic PWMs while eliminating many of their drawbacks.
Like R3™ Technology, the R4™ Technology allows variable
frequency in response to load transients and maintains the
benefits of current-mode hysteretic controllers. In addition, it
reduces regulator output impedance and uses accurate
referencing to eliminate the need for a high-gain voltage
amplifier. The resulting topology can be tuned to voltage-mode
hysteretic transient speed while maintaining a linear control
model. This topology removes the need for compensation,
which greatly simplifies regulator design for customers and
reduces external component count and cost.
Applications
• General purpose, point-of-load DC/DC power conversion
• Notebook, netbook and tablet
• Embedded computing system
