6A Dual Synchronous Buck Regulator  
with Integrated MOSFETs  
Features  
• High Efficiency: Up to 95%  
The ISL65426 is a high efficiency dual output monolithic  
synchronous buck converter operating over an input  
voltage range of 2.375V to 5.5V. This single chip power  
solution provides two output voltages which are selectable  
or externally adjustable from 1V to 80% of the supply  
voltage while delivering up to 6A of total output current. The  
two PWMs are synchronized 180° out of phase reducing  
the RMS input current and ripple voltage.  
• Fixed Frequency: 1MHz  
• Operates From 2.375V to 5.5V Supply  
• ±1% Reference  
• Flexible Output Voltage Options  
- Programmable 2-Bit VID Input  
- Adjustable Output From 0.6V to 4.0V  
• User-Partitioned Power Blocks  
The ISL65426 switches at a fixed frequency of 1MHz and  
utilizes current-mode control with integrated compensation  
to minimize the size and number of external components  
and provide excellent transient response. The internal  
synchronous power switches are optimized for good  
thermal performance, high efficiency, and eliminate the  
need for an external Schottky diode.  
• Ultra-Compact DC/DC Converter Design  
• PWMs Synchronized 180° Out of Phase  
• Independent Enable Inputs and System Enable  
• Stable All Ceramic Solutions  
• Excellent Dynamic Response  
• Independent Output Digital Soft-Start  
• Power Good Output Voltage Monitor  
• Short-Circuit and Thermal-Overload Protection  
• Overcurrent and Undervoltage Protection  
• Pb-Free Plus Anneal Available (RoHS Compliant)  
A unique power block architecture allows partitioning of six  
1A capable blocks to support one of four configuration  
options. One master power block is associated with each  
synchronous converter channel. Four floating slave power  
blocks allow the user to assign them to either channel.  
Proper external configuration of the power blocks is verified  
internally prior to soft-start initialization.  
Applications  
• FPGA, CPLD, DSP, and CPU Core and I/O Voltages  
- Xilinx Spartan IIITM, Virtex IITM, Virtex II ProTM  
Virtex 4TM  
- Altera StratixTM, Stratix IITM, CycloneTM, Cyclone IITM  
- Actel FusionTM, LatticeSCTM, LatticeECTM  
Independent enable inputs allow for synchronization or  
sequencing soft-start intervals of the two converter  
channels. A third enable input allows additional sequencing  
for multi-input bias supply designs. Individual power good  
indicators (PG1, PG2) signal when output voltage is within  
regulation window.  
,
• Low-Voltage, High-Density Distributed Power Systems  
The ISL65426 integrates protection for both synchronous  
buck regulator channels. The fault conditions include  
overcurrent, undervoltage, and IC thermal monitor.  
• Point-of-Load Regulation  
• Distributed Power Systems  
• Set-Top Boxes  
High integration contained in a thin Quad Flat No-lead  
(QFN) package makes the ISL65426 an ideal choice to  
power many of today’s small form factor applications. A  
single chip solution for large scale digital ICs, like field  
programmable gate arrays (FPGA), requiring separate core  
and I/O voltages.

CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the  
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.  
150°C max junction temperature is intended for short periods of time to prevent shortening the lifetime. Operation close to 150°C junction may trigger the shutdown of  
the device even before 150°C, since this number is specified as typical.  
NOTES:  
1. θ is measured in free air with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board with “direct attach” features. See  
JA  
Tech Brief TB379 for details.  
2. For θ , the “case temp” location is the center of the exposed metal pad on the package underside. See Tech Brief TB379 for details.

The ISL65426 is a monolithic, constant frequency, current-

the internal top power switch is turned on at the beginning of  
each clock cycle. Current in the output inductor ramps up  
until the current comparator trips and turns off the top power  
MOSFET. The bottom power MOSFET turns on and the  
inductor current ramps down for the rest of the cycle.

in Table 2. When Each pin is pulled to GND by an internal  
10μA pull down, this default condition programs the output  
voltage to the lowest level. The pull down prevents situations  
where a pin could be left floating for example (cold solder  
joint) from causing the output voltage to rise above the

soft-start interval. The controller begins slowly ramping the  
output voltages based on the enable input states. Once the  
commanded output voltage is within the proper window of  
operation, the power good signal corresponding to the active  
channel changes state from low to high indicating proper  
operation initialization.

The VCC pins have a variable POR threshold based on the  
output voltage configuration pin configuration of VOUT2. If  
the configuration pins are set for 2.5V, the VCC POR rising  
threshold is typically 2.9V. The 3.3V configuration increases  
the VCC POR level to 4.3V. This variable rising threshold  
guarantees that the controller can properly switch the  
internal power blocks at the assigned output voltage levels.

FIGURE 36. EXTERNAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION  
For designers requiring an output voltage level outside those  
shown Table 2, the ISL65426 allows user programming with  
an external resistor divider (see Figure 4). First, both channel  
selection pins associated with that output channel must tied  
to GND to set the internal reference to 0.6V. Next, the output  
voltage is set by an external resistive divider according to  
Equation 1. R2 is selected arbitrarily, but 5kΩ or 10kΩ is  
usually a good starting point. The designer can configure the  
output voltage from 1V to 4V from a 5V power supply. Lower  
input supply voltages reduce the maximum programmable  
output voltage to 80% of the input voltage level.  
If additional POR control is required, a system enable input  
can be used to govern initialization as described in the next  
section.  
Enable and Disable  
If the POR input requirements are met, the ISL65426  
remains in shutdown until the voltage at the enable inputs  
rise above their enable thresholds. Independent enable  
inputs, EN1 and EN2, allow initialization of either buck  
converter channel separately, sequenced, or simultaneously.  
Both pins feature a 10μA pull-up which will initialize both  
sides once the voltage at their respective pins exceeds the  
rising enable threshold, as defined in the Electrical  
Specifications section.

Both converters are governed by the presence of a system  
enable, EN (See Figure 5). When two separate input  
supplies are used for each channel of power blocks or an  
external signal needs to govern the power-up sequence, the  
system enable provides a startup sequencing mechanism.  
The controller features an internal oscillator running at a  
fixed frequency of 1MHz. The oscillator tolerance is +10%  
over input bias and load range.  
Operation Initialization  
The system enable features an internal 10μA pull-down  
which is only active when the voltage on the EN pin is below  
the enable threshold. The current sink pulls the EN pin low.  
As VCC2 rises the enable level is not set exclusively by the  
resistor divider from VCC2. With the current sink active, the  
The ISL65426 initializes based on the state of three enable

VCC2 and R2 is the resistor from EN to GND.  
The configuration check circuitry detects which power blocks  
share a common LX connection and compare this to the  
decoded valid configuration. The master power block of  
output Channel 2 (Power Block 5) pulses and again the LX  
pins of the other non-master blocks are monitored. The  
common LX connections are checked versus the decoded  
valid configuration. Each floating power block has a pull-  
down active only during the configuration check to remove  
noise related false positive detections.

Once the voltage at the EN pin reaches the enable  
threshold, the 10μA current sink turns off.  
With the part enabled and the current sink off, the disable  
level is set by the resistor divider. The disable level is  
defined in Equation 3.  
A successful configuration check initiates a soft-start interval  
100μs after completion. Failing the configuration check, the  
controller will attempt a configuration check again 100μs  
after completing the first check cycle. The controller repeats  
the configuration check cycle every 100μs until a valid  
configuration is detected or the controller is powered down.  
Once successful, the configuration check is not implemented  
again until VCC falls below the POR falling threshold.  
Re-enabling the controller after a successful configuration  
check will immediately initiate a soft-start interval.

The difference between the enable and disable levels  
provides the user with configurable hysteresis to prevent  
nuisance tripping.  
Soft-start Interval  
To enable the controller, the system enable must be high,  
and one or both of the channel enables must be high. The  
POR circuitry must be satisfied for both VCC and PVINx  
inputs. Once these conditions are met, the controller  
immediately initiates a power block configuration check.  
Once the controller is enabled and power block configuration  
is successful, the digital soft-start function clamps the error  
amplifier reference. The digital soft-start circuitry ramps the  
output voltage by stepping the reference up gradually over a  
fixed interval of 4ms. The controlled ramp of the output  
voltage reduces the in-rush current during startup.

Each power good pin (PG1, PG2) is an open-drain logic  
output which indicates when the converter output voltage is  
within regulation limits. The power good pins pull low during  
shutdown and remain low when the controller is enabled.  
After a successful converter channel soft-start, the power  
good pin signal associated with that channel releases and  
the power good pin voltage rises with an external pull-up  
resistor. The power good signal transitions low immediately  
upon the removal of individual channel or system enable.

The power good circuitry monitors both output voltage FB  
pins and compares them to the rising and falling limits shown  
in the Electrical Specification Table. If either channel’s  
feedback voltage exceeds the typical rising limit of 115% of  
the reference voltage, the power good pin pulls low. The  
power good pin continues to pull low until the feedback  
voltage recovers down by a typical of 110% of the reference  
voltage. If either channel’s feedback voltage drops below a  
typical of 85% of the reference voltage, the power good pin  
related to the offending channel(s) pulls low. The power  
good pin continues to pull low until the feedback voltage  
rises to within 90% of the reference voltage. The power good  
pin then releases and signals the return of the output voltage  
within the power good window.

Power Block Configuration Check  
After VCC exceeds its POR rising threshold, the controller  
decodes ISET1 and ISET2 states into one of four valid  
power block configurations, see Table 1.These pins are not  
checked again unless VCC falls below the POR falling  
threshold. The valid configuration is saved for comparison  
with the LX slave connectivity result determined during the  
configuration check.  
Fault Monitoring and Protection  
Once the POR and enable circuitry is satisfied, the controller  
initiates a configuration check. The master power block of  
output Channel 1 (Power Block 2) pulses high for 100ns.  
The ISL65426 actively monitors output voltage and current  
to detect fault conditions. Fault monitors trigger protective  
measures to prevent damage to the controller and external

interval, the OC counter must overflow before the controller  
shutdowns both outputs again. This hiccup mode continues  
indefinitely until both outputs soft-start successfully.  
Undervoltage Protection  
Separate hysteretic comparators monitor the feedback pin  
(FB) of each converter channel. The feedback voltage is  
compared to a set undervoltage (UV) threshold based on the  
output voltage selected. Once one of the comparators trip,  
indicating a valid UV condition, a 4-bit UV counter  
increments. If both channel comparators detect an UV  
condition during the same switching cycle, the 4-bit counter  
increments twice. Once the 4-bit counter overflows, the UV  
protection logic shuts down both regulators.  
Thermal Monitor  
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in  
the ISL65426. An internal thermal sensor monitors die  
temperature continuously. If controller junction temperature  
exceeds +150°C, the thermal monitor commands the POR  
circuitry to shutdown both channels and latch-off. The POR  
latch is reset by cycling VCC to the controller.  
Component Selection Guide  
The comparator is reset if the feedback voltage rises back  
up above the UV threshold plus a specified amount of  
hysteresis outlined in the Electrical Specification Table. If  
both converter channels experience an UV condition and  
one rises back within regulation, then the counter continues  
to progress toward overflow.  
This design guide is intended to provide a high-level  
explanation of the steps necessary to create a power  
converter. It is assumed the reader is familiar with many of  
the basic skills and techniques referenced below. In addition  
to this guide, Intersil provides a complete reference design  
that includes schematic, bill of material, and example board  
layout.  
Overvoltage Response  
If the output voltage exceeds the overvoltage (OV) level for  
the power good signal, the controller will fight this condition  
by actively trying to regulate the output voltage back down to  
the reference level. This method of fighting the rise in output  
voltage is limited by the reverse current capability of the total  
number of power blocks associated with the output. The  
approximate reverse current capability of each power block  
is 0.5A. The power good signal will drop indicating the output  
voltage is out of specification. This signal will not transition  
high again until the output voltage has dropped below the  
falling PGOOD OV threshold.  
Output Filter Design  
The output inductor and the output capacitor bank together  
form a low-pass filter responsible for smoothing the pulsating  
voltage at the phase node. The output filter also must  
provide the transient energy until the regulator can respond.  
Because it has a low bandwidth compared to the switching  
frequency, the output filter limits the system transient  
response. The output capacitors must supply or sink load  
current while the current in the output inductors increases or  
decreases to meet the demand. The output filter is usually  
the most costly part of the circuit. Output filter design begins  
with minimizing the cost of these components.  
Overcurrent Protection  
A pilot device is integrated into the upper device structure of  
each master power block. The pilot device samples current  
through the master power block upper device each cycle.  
This Channel current feedback is scaled based on the state  
of the ISET1 and ISET2 pins. The Channel current  
information is compared to an overcurrent (OC) limit based  
on the power block configuration. Each 1A power block tied  
to the master power block increases the OC limit by 2A. For  
example, if both masters have two slaves associated with  
each of them then the OC limit for each output is 6A for a 3A  
configuration.  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
The critical load parameters in choosing the output  
capacitors are the maximum size of the load step (ΔI), the  
load-current slew rate (di/dt), and the maximum allowable  
output voltage deviation under transient loading (ΔV  
).  
MAX  
Capacitors are characterized according to their capacitance,  
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), and ESL (Equivalent  
Series Inductance).  
At the beginning of the load transient, the output capacitors  
supply all of the transient current. The output voltage will  
initially deviate by an amount approximated by the voltage  
drop across the ESL. As the load current increases, the  
voltage drop across the ESR increases linearly until the load  
current reaches its final value. The capacitors selected must  
have sufficiently low ESL and ESR so that the total output  
voltage deviation is less than the allowable maximum.  
Neglecting the contribution of inductor current and regulator  
If the sampled current exceeds the OC threshold, a 4-bit OC  
up/down counter increments by one LSB. If the sampled  
current falls below the OC threshold before the counter  
overflows, the counter is reset. If both regulators experience  
an OC event during the same cycle, the counter increments  
twice. Once the OC counter reaches 1111, both channels are  
shutdown. If both channels fall below the over-current limit  
during the same cycle, the OC counter is reset.  
Once in shutdown, the controller enters a delay interval,  
equivalent to the SS interval, allowing the die to cool. The  
OC counter is reset entering the delay interval. The  
protection logic initiates a normal SS internal once the delay  
interval ends. If the outputs both successfully soft-start, the  
power good signal goes high and normal operation

Most capacitor solutions rely on a mixture of high frequency  
capacitors with relatively low capacitance in combination  
with bulk capacitors having high capacitance but limited  
high-frequency performance. Minimizing the ESL of the  
high-frequency capacitors allows them to support the output  
voltage as the current increases. Minimizing the ESR of the  
bulk capacitors allows them to supply the increased current  
with less output voltage deviation.  
The other concern when selecting an output inductor is the  
internally set current mode slope compensation. Designs  
should not allow inductor ripple currents below 0.125 times  
the maximum output current to prevent regulation issues. A  
good rule of thumb for selection of the output inductance  
value is 1/3 of the maximum load current for inductor ripple.

Input capacitors are responsible for sourcing the AC

power devices. Their RMS current capacity must be  
sufficient to handle the AC component of the current drawn  
by the switching power devices which is related to duty  
cycle. The maximum RMS current required by the regulator  
is closely approximated by Equation 11.

The important parameters to consider when selecting an  
input capacitor are the voltage rating and the RMS current  
rating. For reliable operation, select capacitors with voltage  
ratings above the maximum input voltage. Their voltage  
rating should be at least 1.25 times greater than the  
maximum input voltage, while a voltage rating of 1.5 times is  
a conservative guideline. The capacitor RMS current rating  
should be higher than the largest RMS current required by  
the circuit.

Since the output capacitors are supplying a decreasing  
portion of the load current while the regulator recovers from  
the transient, the capacitor voltage becomes slightly  
depleted. The output inductors must be capable of assuming  
the entire load current before the output voltage decreases  
more than ΔV  
. This places an upper limit on inductance.  
MAX  
Equation 8 gives the upper limit on output inductance for the  
cases when the trailing edge of the current transient causes  
the greater output voltage deviation than the leading edge.  
Equation 9 addresses the leading edge. Normally, the  
trailing edge dictates the inductance selection because duty  
cycles are usually less than 50%. Nevertheless, both  
inequalities should be evaluated, and inductance should be  
governed based on the lower of the two results. In each

configuration selected. The controller must be placed  
equidistant from each output stage with the LX, or phase,  
connection distance minimized.  
Careful printed circuit board (PCB) layout is critical in high-  
frequency switching converter design. Current transitions  
from one device to another at this frequency induce voltage  
spikes across the interconnecting impedances and parasitic  
elements. These spikes degrade efficiency, lead to device  
overvoltage stress, radiate noise into sensitive nodes, and  
increase thermal stress on critical components. Careful  
component placement and PCB layout minimizes the  
voltage spikes in the converter.  
An output stage consists of the area reserved for the output  
inductor, and input capacitors, and output capacitors for a  
single channel. Place the inductor such that one pad is a  
minimal distance from the associated phase connection.  
Orient the inductor such that the load device is a short  
distance from the other pad. Placement of the input  
capacitors a minimal distance from the PVIN pins prevents  
long distances from adding too much trace inductance and a  
reduction in capacitor performance. Locate the output  
capacitors between the inductor and the load device, while  
keeping them in close proximity. Care should be taken not to  
add inductance through long trace lengths that could cancel  
the usefulness of the low inductance components. Keeping  
the components in tight proximity will help reduce parasitic  
impedances once the components are routed together.  
The following multi-layer printed circuitry board layout  
strategies minimize the impact of board parasitics on  
converter performance and optimize the heat-dissipating  
capabilities of the printed circuit board. This section  
highlights some important practices which should not be  
overlooked during the layout process. Figure 6 provides a  
top level view of the critical components, layer utilization,  
and signal routing for reference.

Plane Allocation  
PCB designers typically have a set number of planes  
available for a converter design. Dedicate one solid layer,  
usually an internal layer underneath the component side of  
the board, for a ground plane and make all critical  
component ground connections with vias to this layer.  
One additional solid layer is dedicated as a power plane and  
broken into smaller islands of common voltage. The power  
plane should support the input power and output power  
nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top and bottom  
circuit layers for the phase nodes. Use the remaining printed  
circuit board layers for small signal wiring and additional  
power or ground islands as required.  
Signal Routing  
If the output stage component placement guidelines are  
followed, stray inductance in the switch current path is  
minimized along with good routing techniques. Great  
attention should be paid to routing the PHASE plane since  
high current pulses are driven through them. Stray  
inductance in this high-current path induce large noise  
voltages that couple into sensitive circuitry. By keeping the  
PHASE plane small, the magnitude of the potential spikes is  
minimized. It is important to size traces from the LX pins to  
the PHASE plane as large and short as possible to reduce  
their overall impedance and inductance.  
Sensitive signals should be routed on different layers or  
some distance away from the PHASE plane on the same  
layer. Crosstalk due to switching noise is reduced into these  
lines by isolating the routing path away from the PHASE  
plane. Layout the PHASE planes on one layer, usually the  
top or bottom layer, and route the voltage feedback traces on  
another layer remaining.  
Thermal Management  
For maximum thermal performance in high current, high  
switching frequency applications, connecting the thermal  
PGND pad of the ISL65426 to the ground plane with multiple  
vias is recommended. This heat spreading allows the IC to  
achieve its full thermal potential. If possible, place the  
controller in a direct path of any available airflow to improve  
thermal performance.
