Overview
Description
ISL78220AN EZ is a dual-channel, high-efficiency synchronous buck regulator IC from Intersil (now Renesas). It integrates two DC-DC converters in a compact package, designed to generate stable core and other high-current rails for processors, FPGAs, memory, and similar loads in portable or embedded systems. Key features typically include a wide input range, adjustable outputs via external feedback, synchronous rectification for high efficiency, soft-start, enable control, and protections such as undervoltage lockout, overcurrent, and thermal shutdown. The “EZ” suffix usually indicates a particular package or evaluation-kit variant. Applications include CPU/GPU core rails, FPGA memories, and other dc-dc conversion tasks where space and efficiency matter. For exact specifications (input range, max current per channel, output voltage options, switching frequency, and pinout), consult the latest Renesas/ISL78220 data sheet and product page for the specific ANEZ variant.
Features
