The ISL78200 is a synchronous buck controller with a 90mΩ
high-side MOSFET and low-side driver integrated. The ISL78200
supports wide input range of 3V to 40V in buck mode. It supports
2.5A continuous load under conditions of 5V VOUT, VIN range of
8V to 36V, 500kHz and +85°C ambient temperature with still air.
For any specific application, the actual maximum output current
depends upon the die temperature not exceeding +125°C with
the power dissipated in the IC, which is related to input voltage,
output voltage, duty cycle, switching frequency, ambient
temperature and board layout, etc. Refer to section “Output
Current” on page 14 for more details.
The ISL78200 has flexible selection of operation modes of forced
PWM mode and PFM mode. In PFM mode, the quiescent input
current is as low as 300µA and can be further reduced to 180µA
with AUXVCC connected to VOUT under 12V VIN and 5V VOUT
application. The load boundary between PFM and PWM can be
programmed to cover wide applications.
The low-side driver can be either used to drive an external low-side
MOSFET for a synchronous buck, or left unused for a standard
non-synchronous buck. The low-side driver can also be used to
drive a boost converter as a pre-regulator that greatly expands the
operating input voltage range down to 2.5V or lower (refer to
“Typical Application Schematic III - Boost Buck Converters” on
page 5).
The ISL78200 offers the most robust current protections. It uses
peak current mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It is
implemented with frequency foldback under current limit
condition; in addition, the hiccup overcurrent mode is also
implemented to guarantee reliable operations under harsh short
conditions.
The ISL78200 has comprehensive protections against various faults
including overvoltage and over-temperature protections, etc.
