Dual Regulator–Synchronous Rectified Buck PWM and Linear Power Controller

The ISL6529A provides the power control and protection for two output voltages in high-performance graphics cards and other embedded processor applications. The dual-output controller drives two N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck converter topology and one N-Channel MOSFET in a linear configuration. The ISL6529A provides both a regulated high current, low voltage supply and an independent, lower current supply integrated in an 14-lead SOIC package. The controller is ideal for graphic card applications where regulation of both the graphics processing unit (GPU) and memory supplies is required.
