The ISL8014 can be configured for discontinuous or forced continuous operation at light load. Forced continuous operation reduces noise and RF interference while discontinuous mode provides high efficiency by reducing switching losses at light loads. Fault protection is provided by internal hiccup mode current limiting during short circuit and overcurrent conditions, an output over voltage comparator and over-temperature monitor circuit. A power good output voltage monitor indicates when the output is in regulation. The ISL8014 is offered in a space saving 4x4 QFN lead free package with exposed pad lead frames for low thermal. The ISL8014 offers a 1ms Power Good (PG) timer at power-up. When shutdown, ISL8014 discharges the output capacitor. Other features include internal soft-start, internal compensation, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown.
