Dual 15A/Single 30A Step-Down Power Module
ISL8225M
Features
• Fully-encapsulated dual step-down switching power supply
• Up to 100W output from a 17mm square PCB footprint
• Dual 15A or single 30A output
The ISL8225M is a fully-encapsulated step-down switching
power supply that can deliver up to 100W output power from a
small 17mm square PCB footprint. The two 15A outputs may
be used independently or combined to deliver a single 30A
output. Designing a high-performance board-mounted power
supply has never been simpler -- only a few external
components are needed to create a very dense and reliable
power solution.
• Up to 95% conversion efficiency
• 4.5V to 20V input voltage range
• 0.6V to 6V output voltage range
Automatic current sharing and phase interleaving allow up to
six modules to be paralleled for 180A output capability. 1.5%
output voltage accuracy, differential remote voltage sensing
and fast transient response create a very high-performance
power system. Built-in output over-voltage, over-current and
over-temperature protection enhance system reliability.
• 1.5% output voltage accuracy with differential remote
sensing
• Up to six modules may be paralleled to support 180A output
current
• Output over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature
protection
The ISL8225M is available in a thermally-enhanced QFN
package. Excellent efficiency and low thermal resistance
permit full power operation without heat sinks or fans. In
addition, the QFN package with external leads permits easy
probing and visual solder inspection.
• Full power operation without heat sinks or fans
• QFN package with exposed leads permits easy probing and
visual solder inspection
