DATASHEET
2-Phase Boost Controller with Drivers and I²C/PMBus™
ISL78229
The ISL78229 is an automotive grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 1),
2-phase 55V synchronous boost controller intended to simplify
the design of high power boost applications. It integrates
strong half-bridge drivers, an analog/digital tracking input,
comprehensive protection functions and a PMBus™ interface
for added control and telemetry.
ISL78229 enables a simple, modular design for systems
requiring power and thermal scalability. It offers peak-current
mode control for fast line response and simple compensation.
Its synchronous 2-phase architecture enables it to support
higher current while reducing the size of input and output
capacitors. The integrated drivers feature programmable
adaptive dead time control offering flexibility in power stage
design. ISL78229 offers a 90°output clock and supports 1-,
2- and 4-phases.
ISL78229 offers a highly robust solution for the most
demanding environments. Its unique soft-start control
prevents large negative current even in extreme cases, such as
a restart under high output prebias on high volume
capacitances. It also offers two levels of cycle-by-cycle
overcurrent protection, average current limiting, input OVP,
output UVP/OVP and internal OTP. A thermistor input is
provided for external OTP for the power-stage elements. In the
event of a fault, the ISL78229 offers individually
programmable latch-off or hiccup recovery for each fault type.
Also integrated are several functions that ease system design.
A unique tracking input is available that can control the output
voltage, allowing it to track either a digital duty cycle (PWM)
signal or an analog reference. ISL78229 provides input
average current limiting so the system can deliver transient
bursts of high load current while limiting the average current to
avoid overheating. Finally, the ISL78229 PMBus™ interface
provides fault reporting, telemetry and system control to
support functional safety qualification.
