ISL78213ARZ-TS2568

The ISL78213ARZ is a high efficiency, monolithic, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A continuous output current from a 2.8V to 5.5V input supply. It uses a current control architecture to deliver very low duty cycle operation at high frequency with fast transient response and excellent loop stability. The ISL78213ARZ integrates a pair of low ON-resistance P-Channel and N-Channel internal MOSFETs to maximize efficiency and minimize external component count. The 100% duty cycle operation allows less than 300mV dropout voltage at 3A output current. High 1MHz Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) switching frequency, that can be synchronized up to 4MHz with an external clock, allows the use of small external components and SYNC input enables multiple ICs to synchronize out of phase to reduce ripple and eliminate beat frequencies. The ISL78213ARZ can be configured for discontinuous or forced continuous operation at light load. Forced continuous operation reduces noise and RF interference while discontinuous mode provides high efficiency by reducing switching losses at light loads. Fault protection is provided by internal hiccup mode current limiting during short circuit and overcurrent conditions, an output overvoltage comparator and over-temperature monitor circuit. A power-good output voltage monitor indicates when the output is in regulation. The ISL78213ARZ is offered in a space saving 4x4 QFN lead free package with exposed pad lead frames for low thermal resistance. The ISL78213ARZ includes a pair of low ON-resistance P-Channel and N-Channel internal MOSFETs to maximize efficiency and minimize external component count. The 100% duty-cycle operation allows less than 300mV dropout voltage at 3A. The ISL78213ARZ offers a 1ms Power-Good (PG) timer at power-up. When shut down, ISL78213ARZ discharges the output capacitor. Other features include internal soft-start, internal compensation, overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown.The ISL78213ARZ is offered in a 4mmx4mm 16 Ld QFN package with 1mm maximum height. The complete converter occupies less than 0.4in2 area. The ISL78213ARZ is AEC-Q100 qualified. The ISL78214 is rated for the automotive temperature range (-40°C to +105°C).
