Voltage Mode PWM Controller 0.7V to 1.708V

The ISL9501 Single-phase Buck PWM control IC, with integrated half bridge gate drivers, proVSELes a precision voltage regulation system for microprocessors in notebook computers. Single-phase operation proVSELes flexibility in meeting the requirements of the latest microprocessors. This control IC also features both input voltage feed-forward and average current mode control for excellent dynamic response, “Loss-less” current sensing using MOSFET rDS(ON) and user selectable switching frequencies from 250kHz to 500kHz. To improve efficiency at light loading, the ISL9501 will operate in diode emulation in Deep and Deeper Sleep modes. The overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds are 112% and 84% of the VSEL, Deep or Deeper Sleep setpoint, respectively. Overcurrent protection features a 32 cycle overcurrent shutdown. PGOOD, overvoltage, undervoltage and overcurrent proVSELe monitoring and protection for the microprocessor and power system. The ISL9501 IC is available in a 38 Ld TSSOP and a 40 Ld QFN.
