Advanced Single Synchronous Buck  
Features  
• Operates from 4.5V to 16V Input  
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Controller  
The ISL6420 makes simple work out of implementing a  
complete control and protection scheme for a high-  
performance DC/DC buck converter. Designed to drive  
N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck  
topology, the ISL6420 integrates control, output adjustment,  
monitoring and protection functions into a single package.  
Additionally, the IC features an external reference voltage  
tracking mode for externally referenced buck converter  
applications and DDR termination supplies, as well as a  
voltage margining mode for system testing in networking  
DC/DC converter applications.  
• Excellent Output Voltage Regulation  
- 0.6V Internal Reference  
- ±1.0% Reference Accuracy Over Line and Temperature  
• Resistor-Selectable Switching Frequency  
- 100kHz to 1.4MHz  
• Voltage Margining and External Reference Tracking  
Modes  
• Output Can Sink or Source Current  
• Lossless, Programmable Overcurrent Protection  
- Uses Upper MOSFET‘s r  
The ISL6420 provides simple, single feedback loop, voltage  
mode control with fast transient response. The output  
voltage of the converter can be precisely regulated to as low  
as 0.6V, with a maximum tolerance of ±1.0% over  
temperature and line voltage variations.  
DS(ON)  
• Programmable Soft-Start  
• Drives N-Channel MOSFETs  
• Simple Single-Loop Control Design  
- Voltage-Mode PWM Control  
The operating frequency is fully adjustable from 100kHz to  
1.4MHz. High frequency operation offers cost and space  
savings.  
• Fast Transient Response  
- High-Bandwidth Error Amplifier  
- Full 0% to 100% Duty Cycle  
The error amplifier features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth  
product and 6V/µs slew rate that enables high converter  
bandwidth for fast transient response. The PWM duty cycle  
ranges from 0% to 100% in transient conditions. Selecting  
the capacitor value from the ENSS pin to ground sets a fully  
adjustable PWM soft-start. Pulling the ENSS pin LOW  
disables the controller.  
• Extensive Circuit Protection Functions  
- PGOOD, overvoltage, overcurrent, Shutdown  
• QFN (4x4) Package  
- QFN Compliant to JEDEC PUB95 MO-220 QFN - Quad  
Flat No Leads - Product Outline  
- QFN Near Chip Scale Package Footprint; Improves  
PCB Efficiency, Thinner in Profile  
The ISL6420 monitors the output voltage and generates a  
PGOOD (power good) signal when soft-start sequence is  
complete and the output is within regulation. A built-in  
overvoltage protection circuit prevents the output voltage  
from going above typically 115% of the set point. Protection  
from overcurrent conditions is provided by monitoring the

appropriately. This approach simplifies the implementation  
and improves efficiency by eliminating the need for a current  
sensing resistor.  
- DSP and Core Processors  
- DDR SDRAM Bus Termination  
• Ethernet Routers and Switchers  
• High-Power DC/DC Regulators  
• Distributed DC/DC Power Architecture  
• Personal Computer Peripherals  
• Externally Referenced Buck Converters  
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.

4. The operating supply current and shutdown current specifications for 5V input are the same as VIN supply current specifications, i.e., 5.6V to  
16V input conditions. These should also be tested with part configured for 5V input configuration, i.e., VIN = VCC5 = PVCC = 5V.  
5. This is the V  
current consumed when the device is active but not switching. Does not include gate drive current.  
CC  
6. When the input voltage is 5.6V to 16V at VIN pin, the VCC5 pin provides a 5V output capable of 50mA (max) total from the internal LDO. When  
the input voltage is 5V, VCC5 pin will be used as a 5V input, the internal LDO regulator is disabled and the VIN must be connected to the VCC5.  
In both cases the PVCC pin should always be connected to VCC5 pin. (Refer to the Pin Descriptions sections for more details.)  
7. Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.

the overcurrent trip level. The PHASE node voltage will be  
compared against the voltage on the OCSET pin, while the  
upper FET is on. A current (100µA typically) is pulled from  
the OCSET pin to establish the OCSET voltage. If PHASE is  
lower than OCSET while the upper FET is on then an  
overcurrent condition is detected for that clock cycle. The  
upper gate pulse is immediately terminated, and a counter is  
incremented. If an overcurrent condition is detected for  
8 consecutive clock cycles, and the circuit is not in soft-start,  
the ISL6420 enters into the soft-start hiccup mode. During  
hiccup, the external capacitor on the ENSS pin is  
The ISL6420 automatically initializes upon receipt of power.  
The Power-On Reset (POR) function monitors the internal  
bias voltage generated from LDO output (VCC5) and the  
ENSS pin. The POR function initiates the soft-start operation  
after the VCC5 exceeds the POR threshold. The POR  
function inhibits operation with the chip disabled (ENSS  
pin <1V).  
The device can operate from an input supply voltage of 5.6V

soft-start cycle is initiated. During soft-start, pulse  
termination current limiting is enabled, but the 8-cycle hiccup  
counter is held in reset until soft-start is completed.  
Soft-Start/Enable  
The ISL6420 soft-start function uses an internal current  
source and an external capacitor to reduce stresses and  
surge current during startup.

When the output of the internal linear regulator reaches the  
POR threshold, the POR function initiates the soft-start  
sequence. An internal 10µA current source charges an  
external capacitor on the ENSS pin linearly from 0V to 3.3V.  
The OC trip point varies mainly due to the upper MOSFETs

Voltage Margining  
The ISL6420 has a voltage margining mode that can be  
used for system testing. The voltage margining percentage  
is resistor selectable up to ±10%. The voltage margining  
mode can be enabled by connecting a margining set resistor  
from VMSET/MODE pin to ground and using the control pins  
GPIO1/REFIN and GPIO2 to toggle between positive and  
negative margining (Refer to Table 2). With voltage  
margining enabled, the VMSET resistor to ground sets a  
current, which is switched to the FB pin. The current will be  
equal to 2.468V divided by the value of the external resistor  
tied to the VMSET/MODE pin.

that the output voltage of the power supply changes with  
voltage margining, will be equal to 2.468V times the ratio of

negative margining for a 3.3V output, using a 20.5kΩ  
feedback resistor and using various VMSET resistor values.  
If VMSET/MODE pin and the GPIO1/REFIN pin are both tied  
to VCC5, then the internal 0.6V reference is used as the  
error amplifier non-inverting input. The buffered reference  
output on REFOUT will be 0.6V ±0.01V, capable of sourcing  
20mA and sinking up to 50µA current with a 2.2µF capacitor  
connected to the REFOUT pin.  
If VMSET/MODE pin is tied to high but GPIO1/REFIN is  
connected to external voltage source between 0.6V to 1.25V,  
then this external voltage is used as the reference voltage at  
the positive input of the error amplifier. The buffered  
reference output on REFOUT will be Vrefin ±0.01V, capable  
of sourcing 20mA and sinking up to 50µA current with a

Component Selection Guidelines  
Output Capacitor Selection  
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current  
and voltage. However, larger inductance values reduce the  
converter’s response time to a load transient.  
An output capacitor is required to filter the output and supply  
the load transient current. The filtering requirements are a  
function of the switching frequency and the ripple current.  
The load transient requirements are a function of the slew  
rate (di/dt) and the magnitude of the transient load current.  
These requirements are generally met with a mix of  
capacitors and careful layout.  
One of the parameters limiting the converter’s response to a  
load transient is the time required to change the inductor  
current. Given a sufficiently fast control loop design, the  
ISL6420 will provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in  
response to a load transient. The response time is the time  
required to slew the inductor current from an initial current  
value to the transient current level. During this interval the  
difference between the inductor current and the transient  
current level must be supplied by the output capacitor.  
Minimizing the response time can minimize the output  
capacitance required.  
Modern microprocessors produce transient load rates above  
1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient  
and slow the current load rate seen by the bulk capacitors.  
The bulk filter capacitor values are generally determined by  
the ESR (effective series resistance) and voltage rating  
requirements rather than actual capacitance requirements.  
The response time to a transient is different for the  
application of load and the removal of load. The following  
equations give the approximate response time interval for  
application and removal of a transient load:  
High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as  
close to the power pins of the load as physically possible. Be  
careful not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that  
could cancel the usefulness of these low inductance  
components. Consult with the manufacturer of the load on  
specific decoupling requirements. For example, Intel  
recommends that the high frequency decoupling for the  
Pentium Pro be composed of at least forty (40) 1.0µF  
ceramic capacitors in the 1206 surface-mount package.

output voltage setting. Be sure to check both of these

equations at the minimum and maximum output levels for  
the worst case response time.  
Where D is the duty cycle = Vo/Vin, tsw is the switching  
interval, and Fsw is the switching frequency.  
These equations assume linear voltage-current transitions  
and do not adequately model power loss due the reverse-  
recovery of the lower MOSFETs body diode. The  
Input Capacitor Selection  
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage  
overshoot across the MOSFETs. Use small ceramic  
capacitors for high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors  
to supply the current needed each time Q1 turns on. Place the  
small ceramic capacitors physically close to the MOSFETs  
and between the drain of Q1 and the source of Q2.  
gate-charge losses are dissipated by the ISL6420 and don't  
heat the MOSFETs. However, large gate-charge increases  
the switching interval, t  
which increases the upper  
SW  
MOSFET switching losses. Ensure that both MOSFETs are  
within their maximum junction temperature at high ambient  
temperature by calculating the temperature rise according to  
package thermal-resistance specifications. A separate  
heatsink may be necessary depending upon MOSFET  
power, package type, ambient temperature and air flow.  
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitor are the  
voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable  
operation, select the bulk capacitor with voltage and current  
ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest RMS  
current required by the circuit. The capacitor voltage rating  
should be at least 1.25 times greater than the maximum  
input voltage and a voltage rating of 1.5 times is a  
conservative guideline. The RMS current rating requirement  
for the input capacitor of a buck regulator is approximately  
1/2 the DC load current. A more specific equation for  
determining the input ripple is the following,  
Schottky Selection  
Rectifier D2 is a clamp that catches the negative inductor  
swing during the dead time between turning off the lower  
MOSFET and turning on the upper MOSFET. The diode must  
be a Schottky type to prevent the parasitic MOSFET body  
diode from conducting. It is acceptable to omit the diode and  
let the body diode of the lower MOSFET clamp the negative  
inductor swing, but efficiency will drop one or two percent as a  
result. The diode's rated reverse breakdown voltage must be  
greater than the maximum input voltage.

For a through hole design, several electrolytic capacitors  
(Panasonic HFQ series or Nichicon PL series or Sanyo  
MV-GX or equivalent) may be needed. For surface mount  
designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution  
must be exercised with regard to the capacitor surge current  
rating. These capacitors must be capable of handling the  
surge-current at power-up. The TPS series available from  
AVX, and the 593D series from Sprague are both surge  
current tested.  
MOSFET Selection/Considerations  
The ISL6420 requires 2 N-Channel power MOSFETs. These  
should be selected based upon r  
, gate supply  
DS(ON)  
requirements, and thermal management requirements.  
In high-current applications, the MOSFET power dissipation,  
package selection and heatsink are the dominant design  
factors. The power dissipation includes two loss  
components; conduction loss and switching loss.  
The conduction losses are the largest component of power  
dissipation for both the upper and the lower MOSFETs.  
These losses are distributed between the two MOSFETs  
according to duty factor (see the equations below). Only the  
upper MOSFET has switching losses, since the Schottky  
rectifier clamps the switching node before the synchronous  
rectifier turns on.
