Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage can be programmed to any level between
the 0.6V internal reference, up to the V
ISL8105B can run at near 100% duty cycle at zero load, but
the r
something less as the load current increases. In addition, the
OCP (if enabled) will also limit the maximum effective duty
cycle.
An external resistor divider is used to scale the output
voltage relative to the internal reference voltage, and feed it
back to the inverting input of the error amp. See “Typical
Application Diagram” on page 2 for more detail; R
upper resistor; R
lower one. The recommended value for R
(±1% for accuracy) and then R
to the equation below. Since R
circuit (see “Feedback Compensation” on page 11), it is
often easier to change R
voltage; that way the compensation calculations do not need
to be repeated. If V

Input Voltage Considerations
The “Typical Application Diagram” on page 2 shows a
standard configuration where V
12V (±20%); in each case, the gate drivers use the V
voltage for BGATE and BOOT/TGATE. In addition, V
allowed to work anywhere from 6.5V up to the 14.4V
maximum. The V
NOT allowed for long-term reliability reasons, but
transitions through it to voltages above 6.5V are acceptable.
There is an internal 5V regulator for bias; it turns on between
5.5V and 6.5V. Some of the delay after POR is there to allow

a typical power supply to ramp up past 6.5V before the
soft-start ramps begins. This prevents a disturbance on the
output, due to the internal regulator turning on or off. If the
transition is slow (not a step change), the disturbance should
be minimal. So while the recommendation is to not have the
output enabled during the transition through this region, it
may be acceptable. The user should monitor the output for
their application to see if there is any problem.

powers up first, and the V
initialization is done, then the soft-start will not be able to
ramp the output, and the output will later follow part of the
