The ISL62871 and ISL62872 IC’s are Single-Phase
Synchronous-Buck PWM voltage regulators featuring
Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator (R3) Technology?. The
wide 3.3V to 25V input voltage range is ideal for systems
that run on battery or AC-adapter power sources. The
ISL62871 and ISL62872 are low-cost solutions for
applications requiring dynamically selected slew-rate
controlled output voltages. The soft-start and dynamic
setpoint slew-rates are capacitor programmed. Voltage
identification logic-inputs select two (ISL62871) or four
(ISL62872) resistor-programmed setpoint reference voltages
that directly set the output voltage of the converter between
0.5V to 1.5V, and up to 3.3V using a feedback voltage
divider. Optionally, an external reference such as the DAC
output from a microcontroller, can be used by either IC to
program the setpoint reference voltage, and still maintain the
controlled slew-rate features. Robust integrated MOSFET
drivers and Schottky bootstrap diode reduce the
implementation area and lower component cost.
