Single 12V Input Supply Dual Regulator —
Synchronous Rectified Buck PWM and
Linear Power Controller
Features
• Single 12V bias supply (no 5V supply is required)
• Provides two regulated voltages
- One synchronous rectified buck PWM controller
- One linear controller
The ISL6549 provides the power control and protection for
two output voltages in high-performance applications. The
dual-output controller drives two N-Channel MOSFETs in a
synchronous rectified buck converter topology and one
N-Channel MOSFET in a linear configuration. The controller is
ideal for applications where regulation of both the processing
unit and memory supplies is required.
• Both controllers drive low cost N-Channel MOSFETs
• Small converter size
- Adjustable frequency 150kHz to 1MHz
- Small external component count
• Excellent output voltage regulation
- Both outputs: ±1% over temperature
The synchronous rectified buck converter incorporates
simple, single feedback loop, voltage-mode control with fast
transient response. Both the switching regulator and linear
regulator provide a maximum static regulation tolerance of
±1% over line, load, and temperature ranges. Each output is
user-adjustable by means of external resistors.
• 12V down conversion
• PWM and linear output voltage range: down to 0.8V
• Simple single-loop voltage-mode PWM control design
• Fast PWM converter transient response
- High-bandwidth error amplifier
An integrated soft-start feature brings both supplies into
regulation in a controlled manner. Each output is monitored
via the FB pins for undervoltage events. If either output drops
below 75% of the nominal output level, both converters are
shut off and go into retry mode.
• Undervoltage fault monitoring on both outputs
• Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant)
Applications
The ISL6549 is available in a 14 Ld SOIC package,
16 Ld QSOP, or 16 Ld 4x4 QFN packages.

Functional Pin Description
FB is the available external inverting input pin of the error
amplifier. Connect the output of the switching regulator to
this pin through a properly sized resistor divider, to set the
output voltage. The voltage at this pin is regulated to the
internal reference voltage. This pin is also monitored for
undervoltage detection.
VCC12
This is the power supply pin for the IC; it sources the internal
5V regulator used for the gate drivers. Provide a local
decoupling capacitor to GND. The voltage at this pin is
monitored for Power-On Reset (POR) purposes. The
16 Ld QFN and 16 Ld QSOP have two VCC12 pins; tie them
together on the board.
COMP
COMP is the available external output pin of the error amplifier.
This pin is used to compensate the voltage-mode control
feedback loop of the standard synchronous rectified buck
converter. Connect an appropriate compensation network
between this and the FB pin. See “PWM Controller Feedback
Compensation” on page 10 for more information.
VCC5
This pin supplies the internal 5V bias for analog and logic
functions. Provide a local decoupling capacitor to GND, and a
resistor to PVCC. The voltage at this pin is monitored for
Power-On Reset (POR) purposes. See “Internal PVCC5
Regulator” on page 7 for more details.
FS_DIS
GND, AGND, DGND
This input pin has two functions. A resistor to GND sets the
internal oscillator frequency for the switching regulator. In
addition, if the pin is pulled down towards GND with a low
impedance (<1kΩ, such as an external FET), it will disable
both regulator outputs until released (at which time a new soft-
start cycle will begin).
These pins are the signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels
are measured with respect to these pins. Connect all to the
ground plane via the shortest available path.
PVCC5
This pin is the internal 5V linear regulator for the BOOT supply
(for the UGATE driver), and the source for the LGATE.
Provide a local decoupling capacitor to PGND. Do not use this
pin as a voltage source for other circuits. See “Internal PVCC5
Regulator” on page 7 for more details.
LDO_DR
This output pin provides the gate voltage for the linear
regulator pass transistor. Connect this pin to the gate terminal
of an external N-channel MOSFET transistor. This pin (along
with the LDO_FB pin) also provides a means of compensating
the error amplifier, should the application require it.
PGND
This pin is the power ground return for the lower gate driver.
(LGATE). Connect to the ground plane on the board via the
shortest available path.
LDO_FB
This input pin is the FB inverting input on the linear regulator
error amplifier. Connect the output of the linear regulator to
this pin through a properly sized resistor divider, to set the
output voltage. The voltage at this pin is regulated to the
internal reference voltage. This pin is also monitored for
undervoltage detection.
UGATE
This output pin drives the upper MOSFET gate from the
internal 5V regulator. Connect it to the gate of the upper
MOSFET via a short, low inductance trace.
BOOT
Bottom Pad (QFN Package Only)
The BOOT pin, along with the external capacitor (from
PHASE to BOOT), an internal diode, and the internal 5.5V
regulator, creates the bootstrap voltage for the upper gate
driver (UGATE). The maximum voltage is around 5.5V (above
PHASE).
The QFN package’s metal bottom pad is resistively tied to the
internal IC GND. For best thermal and electrical performance,
connect this pad to the GND pins, and to the ground plane of
the PCB through 4 vias equidistantly situated inside the solder
landing pad.
PHASE
This pin represents the return path for the upper gate drive.
Connect it to the source of the upper MOSFET via a short, low
inductance trace.
LGATE
This output pin drives the lower MOSFET gate from the
internal 5V regulator. Connect it to the gate of the lower
MOSFET via a short, low inductance trace.

Description
Operation Overview
Initialization
The ISL6549 monitors and precisely controls two output
voltage levels. Refer to the “Block Diagram” on page 2,
“Simplified Power System Diagram” on page 3, and “Typical
Application Schematic” on page 3. The controller is intended
for use in applications where only a 12V bias input is
available. The IC integrates both a standard buck PWM
controller and a linear controller. The PWM controller
The ISL6549 automatically initializes upon application of input
power (at the VCC12) pin. The ISL6549 creates its own
PVCC5 and VCC5 supplies for internal use. The POR
function continually monitors the input bias supply voltage at
the VCC12 and VCC5 pins. The POR function initiates soft-
start operation after both these supply voltages exceed their
POR rising threshold voltages.
regulates the output voltage (V
) to a level programmed
OUT1
by a resistor divider. The linear controller is designed to
regulate the lower current local memory voltage (V
through an external N-Channel MOS pass transistor.
Soft-Start
)
OUT2
The POR function initiates the digital soft-start sequence. Both
the linear regulator error amplifier and PWM error amplifier
reference inputs are forced to track a voltage level
Internal PVCC5 Regulator
proportional to the soft-start voltage. As the soft-start voltage
slews up, the PWM comparator regulates the output relative
to the tracked soft-start voltage, slowly charging the output
capacitor(s). Simultaneously, the linear output follows the
smooth ramp of the soft-start function into normal regulation.
The preferred and recommended configuration is as follows:
+12V to VCC12 pin, a resistor (~10Ω) between PVCC5 and
VCC5 pins, and decoupling caps on all three pins to ground.
This creates the PVCC5 voltage for the gate drivers, and
externally filters it for bias on the VCC5 pin. It also guarantees
that all 3 voltages track each other during power-up and
power-down.
Figure 1 shows the soft-start sequence. Both the VCC12 and
VCC5 pins must be above their respective rising POR trip
points. In most cases, as shown here, the last one exceeding
its threshold is the VCC12 around 9.5V. The ramp time is
based on the internal oscillator period multiplied by 4096. So
for a 600kHz (1.67µs) example, the soft-start ramp time would
be 6.8ms.
The PVCC5 pin cannot be used as an input and it should not
be used as an output for other circuits; its current capability is
reserved for the gate drivers and VCC5 bias. Similarly, the
VCC5 pin should not be used as an output. Although not
preferred, the VCC5 pin can be used with an external 5V
supply (±5%). However, proper precautions must be followed,
which mainly have to do with proper sequencing, to prevent
latch-up or related problems. Note in the power-up diagram
(Figure 1), the 5V lags the 12V by a few msecs and a volt or
so; that is expected. Both the VCC12 and VCC5 pins must
exceed their rising POR trip points before the soft-start is
enabled; the trip order is not important as long as both have
some voltage. The 12V can be present with no 5V at all, but
the 5V should not precede the 12V. Similarly, on power down,
the 5V should discharge with or before the 12V.

Under normal operation, the internal regulator can supply up
to 100mA (which includes the VCC5 bias current, with the
resistor between the pins). The amount of current is
determined primarily by the switching parameters: the
oscillator frequency and the loading of the FET gates.
Overloading of the internal regulator is not recommended;
even if there is enough current, the gate driver waveforms
may be degraded. See “Switcher FET Considerations” on
page 13 for more details.

FIGURE 1. 12V POWER-UP INTO SOFT-START
Figure 2 shows more detail of the output ramps, by increasing
the time and voltage resolution. The clock for the DAC
producing the steps is approximately 9.4kHz (600kHz/64), so
each step is just over 100µs long. The step voltage is 1/64 of
the final value for each output; around 31mV for V
15.6mV for V
OUT2
steps of voltage (and current) that effectively charge the
output capacitor, the potentially large peak current resulting
from a sudden, uncontrolled voltage rise are eliminated, by
spreading it out over the whole ramp time.
The PVCC5 pin has a current limit that provides some
protection against a shorted gate driver dragging down the
12V rail. The temperature of the IC will increase as the current

The FB and LDO_FB pins are each monitored during
converter operation by their own Undervoltage (UV)
comparator. If either FB voltage drops below 75% of the
reference voltage (75% of 0.8V = 0.6V), a fault signal is
internally generated, and the fault logic shuts down BOTH
regulators. The UV comparators are enabled when the
soft-start ramp is about one-quarter (25%) done.

DELAY INTERVAL
Both outputs use the same soft-start ramp, and the ramp time
is determined by the switching frequency. Thus, there is no
simple way to disable or sequence them independently, or to
change the ramp rate independently of the clock.
INTERNAL SOFT-START FUNCTION
If the switcher output is already pre-charged to a voltage when
the regulator starts up, the ISL6549 will detect this condition
(see Figure 3). The red trace shows the normal ramp, when
the output starts at GND. The green trace shows the case
when the output is pre-charged to a voltage less than the final
output. The upper or lower FET does not turn on until the soft-
start ramp voltage exceeds the output; then the output starts
ramping seamlessly from there. If the output voltage is pre-
charged above the normal output level, as shown in the
magenta trace, neither FET will turn on until the end of the
soft-start ramp; then the output will be quickly pulled down to
the final value.

of the nominal output voltage. Both outputs are quickly shut
down and the UGATE and LGATE stop switching immediately,
but the fall time of each output is determined by the load
and/or short condition on each plus the output capacitance
that needs to be discharged. The soft-start function begins
producing an internal soft-start ramp. The delay interval, T0 to
T1, seen by the output is equivalent to one soft-start cycle.
Then a normal soft-start ramp of the output starts, at time T1.
At the one-quarter point of the soft-start ramp (not drawn
exactly to scale), the good output will have ramped one-
quarter way up, while the shorted output will presumably be
lower than a quarter (depending on the magnitude of the
short). Once the UV comparators are enabled (at the

and forces the LGATE to go high for one oscillator cycle,
which allows the bootstrap capacitor time to recharge.
PWM Controller Feedback Compensation
For both outputs, the selection of 1% resistors may not be
able to get the exact ratio desired for any given output voltage.
If the output must be defined better, then one option is to
place a much bigger resistor in parallel with R4 or R6, to lower
its value. For example, a 100kΩ in parallel with a 1.00kΩ
yields 990Ω, 1% below 1.00kΩ, which gives finer resolution
than the next lower size (976Ω 1%). The big resistor may not
have to be 1% tolerance either.
This section highlights the design consideration for a
voltage-mode controller requiring external compensation. To
address a broad range of applications, a type-3 feedback
network is recommended (see Figure 9).

Pulling and holding the FS_DIS pin near GND will shut down
both regulators; almost any NFET or other pull-down device
(<1kΩ impedance) should work. Upon release of the FS_DIS
pin, the regulators enter into a soft-start cycle which brings
both outputs back into regulation. The FS_DIS pin requires a
quiet GND to minimize jitter. To accomplish this, the FS
resistor and any pull-down device should be placed as close
as possible to the pin, and the GND should be kept away from
the noisy FET GND.

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
ISL6549 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.

Linear Controller Feedback Compensation
Output Capacitors Selection
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.
For most situations, no external compensation is required for
the linear output. As long as the output capacitor (C
) is
OUT2
large (>100µF) and so is its ESR (>20mW), then it should be
stable for loads as low as 10mA up to at least 4A. If smaller
values of capacitance and/or ESR are desired, then special
considerations may be required to add external
compensation (as shown in Figure 8).
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.
Component Selection Guidelines
Output Inductor Selection
The output inductor is selected to meet the output voltage
ripple requirements and minimize the converter’s response
time to the load transient. The inductor value determines the
converter’s ripple current and the ripple voltage is a function of
the ripple current. The ripple voltage and current are
approximated by Equation 10.
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. And keep in mind that not all
applications have the same requirements; some may need
many ceramic capacitors in parallel; others may need only one.

Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current
and voltage. However, the large inductance values reduce the
converter’s response time to a load transient (and usually
increases the DCR of the inductor, which decreases the
efficiency). Increasing the switching frequency (F ) for a
given inductor also reduces the ripple current and voltage.
Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for
switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors.

related to the case size with lower ESR available in larger
case sizes. However, the equivalent series inductance
(ESL) of these capacitors increases with case size and can
reduce the usefulness of the capacitor to high slew-rate
transient loading. Unfortunately, ESL is not always a
specified parameter. Work with your capacitor supplier and
measure the capacitor’s impedance with frequency to
select a suitable component. In most cases, multiple
electrolytic capacitors of small case size perform better
than a single large case capacitor.
Switcher FET Considerations
The IC was designed for nominal 12V supply for V
IN1
(drain of
upper FET Q1). However, it will work with most any voltage
(from other supplies or other regulator outputs) down to
around 1V, as long as the input is above the output by a
sufficient margin (based on practical duty cycle limitations and
upper FET R
constraints). For example, although the
DS(ON)
IC can function at near 100% duty cycle, the voltage drop due
to the R of the upper FET at full load current will limit
DS(ON)
the practical duty cycle to something less than 100%. So the
V range is roughly 1.0V up to 12V, with the V range
IN1
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 upper FET Q1 and the source of
lower FET Q2.

The ISL6549 gate drivers (UGATE and LGATE) were
designed to drive up to 2 upper and 2 lower 8 Ld SOIC FETs;
when the FETs are properly sized, the output currents can
range from under 1A to over 20A. Driving more or bigger FETs
is not recommended; even if there is enough current (from the
internal PVCC5 regulator), the gate driver waveforms may be
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 half the DC load
current. Several electrolytic capacitors may be needed.

degraded. DPAK FET packages can be used, but D PAK
FETs are not recommended, due to the higher inductance of
the package leads. For example, the inductance in the source
of the lower FET can create large negative spikes on the
PHASE node when the UGATE turns off.
Both the UGATE and LGATE voltages are derived from the
internal PVCC5 internal regulator, typically 5.25V. UGATE is
only about 5.0V above PHASE, due to the drop in the internal
BOOT diode charging the BOOT capacitor; LGATE sees the
full 5.25V. So both are considered “5V” drivers; this affects the
FET selection in two ways. First, the FET gate-source voltage
rating can be as low as 12V (this rating is usually consistent
with the 20V or 30V breakdown chosen above). Second, the
FETs must have a low threshold voltage (around 1V), in order
Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
The boot diode is internal to the ISL6549, and uses PVCC5 to
charge the external boot capacitor. The size of the bootstrap
capacitor can be chosen by using the equations in Equation

low as 2.7V, with typical thresholds under 1V, these can cause
application problems. As LGATE shuts off the lower FET, it
does not take much ringing in the LGATE signal to turn the
lower FET back on, while the Upper FET is also turning on,
causing some shoot-through current. So avoid FETs with

Another set of important parameters are the turn-on and

the output starts to switch) and the rise and fall times (external
delay to complete the switching). The UGATE and LGATE

close to being off), before turning on the other. This technique
minimizes the dead time to the 10ns-20ns range. So if either

typically adds power to the IC side, but may reduce some
power on the FET side). For low duty cycle applications (such
as 12V in to 1.5V out), the upper FET is usually chosen for low
gate charge, since switching losses are key, while the lower
As referenced in the “Block Diagram” on page 2, the UGATE
signal is referenced to PHASE signal. The deadtime
comparator also looks at the difference (UGATE - PHASE).
This is significant when viewing the gate driver waveforms on
an oscilloscope. One simple indication of shoot-through (or
insufficient deadtime) is when the UGATE and LGATE signals
overlap. But in this case, one should look at UGATE-PHASE
(either by a math function of the two signals, or by using a
differential probe measurement) compared to LGATE.
Figure 12 shows an example of this. It looks as if the UGATE
and LGATE signals have crossed, but the UGATE-PHASE
signal does not cross the LGATE.

For high duty cycles (such as 3.3V in to 2.5V out), the
opposite is true.
In summary, the following parameters may need to be
considered in choosing the right FETs for an application:
drain-source breakdown voltage rating, gate-source rating,
maximum current, thermal and package considerations, low
gate threshold voltage, gate charge, R
at 4.5V, and

switching speed. And, of course, the board layout constraints
and cost also are factored into the decision.
Linear FET Considerations
The linear FET is chosen primarily for thermal performance.
The current for the linear output is generally limited by the
power dissipation (P = (V
- V ) * I), and the FET

thermal rating for getting the heat out of the package, and
spreading it out on the board, especially when no heatsinks or
airflow is available. It is generally not recommended to parallel
two FETs in order to get higher current or to spread out the
heat, as the FETs would need to be very well-matched in
order to share the current properly. Should this approach be
desired, and as perfectly matched FETs are seldom available,
a small resistor, or PCB trace of suitable resistance placed in
the source of each of the FETs can be used to improve the
current balance.

The LDO_DR voltage is driven from the VCC12 rail; allowing
for headroom, the typical maximum voltage is 11V (lower as
VCC12 goes to its minimum of 10.8V). So the maximum
(BOOT - PHASE) of 7V; exceeding this limit can cause
damage to the IC, and possibly to the system. Since the
BOOT signal is typically 5V above the PHASE node most of
the time, it only takes a few volts of a spike on either signal to
exceed the limit. A good design should be characterized by
using the math function or differential probe, and monitoring
these signals for compliance, especially during full loads,
where the signals are usually the noisiest. Slowing down the
turn-off of the upper FET may help, while at other times,
sometimes the problem may just be the choice of FETs.

If the power efficiency of the system is important, then other
FET parameters are also considered. Efficiency is a measure
of power losses from input to output, and it contains two major
components: losses in the IC (mostly in the gate drivers) and
losses in the FETs. Optimizing the sum involves many

to the ground plane. R12 should be placed near VCC5 and
PVCC5 pins. FS_DIS resistor R7 should be near the FS-DIS
pin, and its GND return should be short, and kept away from
the noisy FET GND. Place the PWM converter compensation
components close to the FB and COMP pins. The feedback
resistors for both regulators should also be located as close
as possible to the relevant FB pin with vias tied straight to the
ground plane as required.
Application Guidelines
Layout Considerations
Then the switching components should be placed close to the

Layout is very important in high frequency switching converter
design. With power devices switching efficiently at 600kHz,
the resulting current transitions from one device to another
cause voltage spikes across the interconnecting impedances
and parasitic circuit elements. These voltage spikes can
degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit, and lead to
device overvoltage stress. Careful component layout and
printed circuit board design minimizes the voltage spikes in
the converters.

nearby. Position both the ceramic and bulk input capacitors as
close to the upper MOSFET drain as possible, and make the
GND returns (from lower FET source to VIN cap GND) short.
Position the output inductor and output capacitors between
the upper MOSFET and lower MOSFET and the load.

As an example, consider the turn-off transition of the PWM
upper MOSFET. Prior to turn-off, the MOSFET is carrying the
full load current. During turn-off, current stops flowing in the
upper MOSFET and is picked up by the lower MOSFET and
parasitic diode. Any parasitic inductance in the switched
current path generates a large voltage spike during the
switching interval. Careful component selection, tight layout of
the critical components, and short, wide traces minimizes the
magnitude of voltage spikes.

There are two sets of critical components in a DC/DC converter
using the ISL6549. The switching components are the most
critical because they switch large amounts of energy, and
therefore tend to generate large amounts of noise. Next are the
small signal components which connect to sensitive nodes or

numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid layer,
usually a middle layer of the PC board, for a ground plane and
make all critical component ground connections through vias
to this layer. Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane
and break this plane into smaller islands of common voltage
levels. Keep the metal runs from the PHASE terminal to the
output inductor short. The power plane should support the
input and output power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on
the top and bottom circuit layers for the phase node. Use the
remaining printed circuit layers for small signal wiring. The
wiring traces from the LGATE and UGATE pins to the
MOSFET gates should be kept short and wide enough to
easily handle the several Amps of drive current.
