DC/DC Power Switching Regulator
The ISL8540 is a step down DC/DC power switching regulator which accepts 9.0V to 40V input and provides a 2A output current. The output voltage can be set in the range between 1.21V and 35V by means of an external divider. The device uses an internal power DMOS transistor with a typical rDS(ON) of 0.19Ω to obtain very high efficiency and high switching speed. A switching frequency in the range of 100kHz to 600kHz can be realized (the maximum power dissipation of the various packages must be observed). Notable Features of this next generation of DC/DC converter include pulse-by-pulse current limit for FET...
