The ISL85005 and ISL85005A are monolithic, synchronous

buck regulators with integrated 5A, 18V high-side and low-side

FETs. These devices also provide an integrated bootstrap diode

for the high-side gate driver to reduce the external parts count.

These devices have a wide input voltage range to support

applications with input voltage from multi-cell batteries or

regulated 5V and 12V power rails.

The ISL85005 and ISL85005A regulate the output voltage

with current mode control and have an internal oscillator. The

switching frequency of the ISL85005 is internally set as

500kHz, and can be synchronized to an external clock signal

with frequency ranges from 300kHz to 2MHz. The ISL85005A

has a fixed 500kHz switching frequency.

The ISL85005 has a fixed 2.3ms soft-start, while the

ISL85005A features programmable soft-start to limit inrush

current during startup. With SS pin floating, the soft-start time

of ISL85005A is also 2.3ms.

The ISL85005 can be configured in either forced Continuous

Conduction Mode (CCM) or Diode Emulation Mode (DEM). DEM

enables high efficiency at light-load conditions. The

ISL85005A always operates in forced CCM.

The ISL85005 and ISL85005A have built-in protections

including input UVLO protection, input and output overvoltage

protection, high-side cycle-by-cycle current limit, low-side

forward current limit and reverse current limit, and thermal

shutdown.
