The ISL8104EVAL1Z evaluation board highlights the operations of the ISL8104 controller in a DC/DC application. The ISL8104 is a simple single-phase pulse width modulator (PWM) controller for a synchronous buck converter with integrated MOSFET driver that operates from +8V to +14.4V bias supply voltage. The ISL8104 employs voltage-mode control with dual-edge modulation to achieve fast transient response. The controller features the ability to safely start-up into pre-biased output loads and provides protection against overcurrent fault events. Overcurrent protection is implemented using top-side MOSFET rDS(ON) sensing, eliminating the need for a current sensing resistor.
