High Performance Industry Standard
Single-Ended Current Mode PWM
Controller
The ISL884xAMBEPZ is a high performance drop-in
replacement for the popular 28C4x and 18C4x PWM
controllers suitable for a wide range of power conversion
applications including boost, flyback, and isolated output
configurations. Its fast signal propagation and output
switching characteristics make this an ideal product for
existing and new designs.
Features include 30V operation, low operating current, 90µA
start-up current, adjustable operating frequency to 2MHz,
and high peak current drive capability with 20ns rise and fall
times.
