The ISL6225 dual PWM controller delivers high efficiency and tight regulation from two voltage regulating synchronous buck DC/DC converters. The ISL6225 PWM power supply controller was designed especially for DDR DRAM, SDRAM, and graphic chipset applications in high performance desknote PCs, notebook PCs, sub-notebook PCs, and PDAs.
Automatic mode selection of constant-frequency synchronous rectification at heavy load, and hysteretic diode-emulation at light load, assure high efficiency over a wide range of conditions. The hysteretic mode of operation can be disabled separately on each PWM converter if constant-frequency continuous-conduction operation is desired for all load levels. Efficiency is further enhanced by using the lower MOSFET rDS(ON) as the current sense element.
