The ISL8203M is a fully integrated step-down power module rated for 3A with dual outputs or 6A using a single output. Optimized for generating low output voltages, down to 0.8V, the ISL8203M is ideal for any low power, low-voltage application. The input supply voltage range is from 2.85V to 6V. The two channels are 180° out-of-phase for input RMS current and electromagnetic interference (EMI) reduction. Each channel is capable of driving 3A of output current. The outputs can be combined to form a single 6A output in current sharing mode. While in current sharing mode, the interleaving of the two channels reduces the input and output voltage ripple. The customer benefits of using the ISL8203M power module include: full integration allowing smaller PCB board area on the customer board; ease of use allows for faster time to market - less design choices the designer has to make; ease of sourcing due to the high level of integration - reduces BOM cost which make the procurement process much easier, only a few components are required compared to procuring multiple discrete components in a discrete power design; and manufacturability – the package allows for pick and place machines in a high volume manufacturing environment. The power module approach is designed to save hundreds of man hours in development (prototype and test), procurement and PCB layout where multiple voltage rails are required.
