Is there any PWM IC which include with MOSFET Driver Inside it?
It's for low voltage project 15V-5V output, 50V-30V Input

I Think 1,5 A driver is more than enough. But in my country Indonesia more familiar (difficult to buy UC3824) with UC3842 which is current-mode control. What does it mean?About the only controller ICs for switch mode power supplies and motor drivers (which are sort of special purpose SMPS) that don't have drivers built in are those that actually have the power switch built in. Many of the older parts were originally intended to drive bipolar transistors but will drive MOSFET, though the drive current can be pretty low (e.g. UC3524A has 200 mA drivers, the UC3824 has 1.5 A drivers). Most that have been introduced in the past 20 years or so have been designed to drive FETs. Many are optimized for converters using high input voltage (rectified AC mains), but many will also work quite well for lower voltage input. If you want to use current mode control (an inner control loop with an out control loop to regulate voltage), select on intended for low voltage. The older types typically required a current sense voltage up up to about a volt, which causes a significant loss of efficiency in lower voltage applications.
Usually the built-in gate drivers are quite adequate for lots of applications, but not always. I've designed with a variety of controllers with built in drivers but used separate drivers because I needed more current than the built in driver could provide, or I had some other special requirement that made a separate drive superior. I would be less likely to use an external driver now than in years past because there have been a lot of new FETs with greatly improved characteristics introduced since I quit doing design.
Texas Instruments probably has the widest range of controllers, due mostly to their acquisition of Unitrode. Analog Devices also has many, in their case due to acquisition of Linear Technology. You can find lots of very good applications information from both TI and AD.
There are many PWM ICs that have the FET built-in. Depending on the power required, these can be an excellent choice, resulting in a simple efficient circuit.
My Project doesnt matter with all of that that, all i need is simple open loop PWM with vary duty cycle using 1 trimmer and the PWM IC built-in with a some kind of driver at least 1 AmpMaybe a big picture description of what you are trying to do will
give more appropriate answers. Like what else do you need for
interface/design, apart from just a PWM.
And PWM clock rates, precision, deadband characteristics....just
a little more depth to question and we can do a better job helping
you.

Controlling duty cycle for vary output voltage in buck circuit or other power electronic, yes trimmer=POT. This circuit will be pure analog, POT will control the PWM duty cycle.What are you going to control the duty cycle with ? Reason I am asking
is are you going to need a processor with PWM ? Trimmer I assume a
POT ? So you need either an analog generated duty cycle or a UP that
converts pot to PWM duty cycle control digital byte/word.
The less we know what you are trying to do = less quality and breadth of advice,
in some case outright bad advice.
