The ISL62870 IC is a Single-Phase Synchronous-Buck
PWM voltage regulator featuring Intersil’s Robust Ripple
Regulator (R3) Technology?. The ISL62870 provides a low
cost solution for compact high performance applications.The
wide 3.3V to 25V input voltage range is ideal for systems
that run on battery or AC adapter power sources. Resistor
programmed output voltage setpoint and capacitor
programmed soft-start delay allow for fast and easy
implementation. Robust integrated MOSFET drivers and
Schottky bootstrap diode reduce the implementation area and
lower component cost.
Intersil’s R3 Technology? combines the best features of
both fixed-frequency and hysteretic PWM control. The PWM
frequency is 300kHz during static operation, becoming
variable during changes in load, setpoint voltage, and input
voltage when changing between battery and AC adapter
power. The modulators ability to change the PWM switching
frequency during these events in conjunction with external
loop compensation produces superior transient response.
For maximum efficiency, the converter automatically enters
diode-emulation mode (DEM) during light-load conditions
such as system standby.
