XR79115
22V, 15A Synchronous Step Down COT Power Module
FEATURES
General Description
Controller, drivers, bootstrap diode and capaci-
tor, MOSFETs, Inductor, CIN and COUT integrated
The XR79115 is a 15A synchronous step-down Power Module for point-of
load supplies. A wide 5V to 22V input voltage range allows for single sup-
ply operation from industry standard 5V, 12V, and 19.6V rails.

Programmable Hiccup Current Limit with Ther-
mal Compensation
With a proprietary emulated current mode Constant On-Time (COT) con-
trol scheme, the XR79115 provides extremely fast line and load transient
response using ceramic output capacitors. It requires no loop compensa-
tion hence simplifying circuit implementation and reducing overall compo-
nent count. The control loop also provides 0.35% load and 0.1% line
regulation and maintains constant operating frequency. A selectable
power saving mode allows the user to operate in discontinuous mode
(DCM) at light current loads thereby significantly increasing the converter
efficiency. With a 96% peak efficiency and 90% for loads as low as
100mA, the XR79115 is suitable for applications where low power losses
are important.
A host of protection features, including over-current, over-temperature,
short-circuit and UVLO, help achieve safe operation under abnormal
operating conditions.

68-pin 12x12x4mm QFN package
The XR79115 is available in a RoHS compliant, green/halogen free
space-saving 68-pin 12x12x4mm QFN package. With integrated control-
ler, drivers, bootstrap diode and capacitor, MOSFETs, inductor, CIN and
COUT, this solution allows the smallest possible 15A POL design.
