Overview: DATASHEET ISL8212M
15A High Efficiency Step-Down Power Module
The ISL8212M power module is a single channel, synchronous step-down, non-isolated complete power supply featuring the proprietary Renesas R4™ Technology. The module supports a wide 4.5V to 16.5V input voltage range and a wide 0.5V to 5V output range capable of delivering up to 15A of continuous current, and is optimized for high power density. Integrated LDOs provide module bias voltage, allowing for single supply operation.
The proprietary Renesas R4 control scheme has extremely fast transient performance, accurately regulated frequency control, and all internal compensation. An efficiency enhancing PFM mode greatly improves light-load efficiency. The ISL8212M allows for easy R4 loop optimization, resulting in fast transient performance across a wide range of applications, including all ceramic output filters.
The power module integrates all power and most passive components and requires only a few external components to operate. A set of optional external resistors provides very flexible configuration options (such as frequency, VOUT, and AV gain).
