Flexible Single Ended Current Mode PWM  
Controller  
Features  
• 1A MOSFET Gate Driver  
The ISL6721 is a low power, single-ended pulse width  
modulating (PWM) current mode controller designed for a  
wide range of DC-DC conversion applications including  
boost, flyback, and isolated output configurations. Peak  
current mode control effectively handles power transients  
and provides inherent over-current protection. Other features  
include a low power mode where the supply current drops to  
less than 200µA during over voltage and over current  
shutdown faults.  
• 100µA Startup Current  
• Fast Transient Response with Peak Current Mode Control  
• Adjustable Switching Frequency up to 1MHz  
• Bi-Directional Synchronization  
• Low Power Disable Mode  
• Delayed Restart from OV and OC Shutdown Faults  
• Adjustable Slope Compensation  
• Adjustable Soft Start  
This advanced BiCMOS design features low operating  
current, adjustable operating frequency up to 1MHz,  
adjustable soft-start, and a bi-directional SYNC signal that  
allows the oscillator to be locked to an external clock for  
noise sensitive applications.  
• Adjustable Over Current Shutdown Delay  
• Adjustable UV and OV Monitors  
• Leading Edge Blanking

OV - Over voltage monitor input pin. This signal is compared  
to an internal 2.5V reference to detect an over voltage  
condition.  
Pin Descriptions  
SLOPE - Means by which the ISENSE ramp slope may be  
increased for improved noise immunity or improved control  
loop stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. An internal  
current source charges an external capacitor to GND during  
each switching cycle. The resulting ramp is scaled and  
added to the ISENSE signal.  
UV - Under voltage monitor input pin. This signal is  
compared to an internal 1.45V reference to detect an under  
voltage condition.  
ISENSE - This is the input to the current sense comparators.  
The IC has two current sensing comparators, a PWM  
comparator for peak current mode control, and an over  
current protection comparator. The over current comparator  
threshold is adjustable through the ISET pin.  
SYNC - A bi-directional synchronization signal used to  
coordinate the switching frequency of multiple units.  
Synchronization may be achieved by connecting the SYNC  
signal of each unit together or by using an external master  
clock signal. The oscillator timing capacitor, C , is still  
required, even if an external clock is used. The first unit to  
assert this signal assumes control.  
T
Exceeding the over-current threshold will start a delayed  
shutdown sequence. Once an over current condition is  
detected, the soft start charge current source is disabled and  
a discharge current source is enabled. The soft start  
capacitor begins discharging, and if it discharges to less  
than 4.375V (Sustained Over Current Threshold), a  
shutdown condition occurs and the GATE output is forced  
low. At this point a reduced discharge current takes over until  
the soft start voltage reaches 0.27V (Reset Threshold). The  
GATE output remains low until the reset threshold is  
attained. At this point a soft start cycle begins.  
RTCT - This is the oscillator timing control pin. The  
operational frequency and maximum duty cycle are set by

frequency range of 100kHz to 1.0MHz. The charge time, T ,

If the over current condition ceases, and then an additional  
50 µS period elapses before the shutdown threshold is  
reached, no shutdown occurs and the soft start voltage is  
allowed to recharge.

COMP - COMP is the output of the error amplifier and the

compensation network is connected between the COMP and  
FB pins.  
The output high voltage is clamped to ~ 13.5V. Voltages  
exceeding this clamp value should not be applied to the  
GATE pin. The output stage provides very low impedance to  
overshoot and undershoot.  
The ISL6721 features a built-in full cycle soft start. Soft start  
is implemented as a clamp on the maximum COMP voltage.

During normal operation the RTCT voltage charges from 1.5

are generated when the 3.0V threshold is reached. If an  
external clock signal is detected during the latter 2/3 of the  
charging cycle, the oscillator switches to external  
synchronization mode and relies upon the external SYNC  
signal to terminate the oscillator cycle. The generation of a  
SYNC signal is inhibited in this mode. If the RTCT voltage

VREF - The 5.00V reference voltage output. Bypass to  
LGND with a 0.01µF or larger capacitor to filter this output as  
needed. Using capacitance less than this value may result in  
unstable operation.  
Soft-Start Operation  
The ISL6721 features soft-start using an external capacitor  
in conjunction with an internal current source. Soft-start is  
used to reduce voltage stresses and surge currents during  
start up.  
SS - Connect the soft start capacitor between this pin and  
LGND to control the duration of soft start. The value of the  
capacitor determines both the rate of increase of the duty  
cycle during start up, and also controls the over current  
shutdown delay.  
Upon start up, the soft start circuitry clamps the error  
amplifier output (COMP pin) to a value proportional to the  
soft start voltage. The error amplifier output rises as the soft  
start capacitor voltage rises. This has the effect of increasing  
the output pulse width from zero to the steady state  
operating duty cycle during the soft start period. When the  
soft start voltage exceeds the error amplifier voltage, soft  
start is completed. Soft start forces a controlled output  
voltage rise. Soft-start occurs during start-up and after  
recovery from a fault condition or over current shutdown. The  
soft start voltage is clamped to 4.5V.  
ISET - A DC voltage between 0.35 and 1.2V applied to this  
input sets the pulse-by-pulse over current threshold. When  
over current inception occurs, the SS capacitor begins to  
discharge and starts the over current delayed shutdown  
cycle.  
Functional Description  
Features  
The ISL6721 current mode PWMs make an ideal choice for  
low-cost flyback and forward topology applications requiring  
enhanced control and supervisory capability. With adjustable  
over and under voltage thresholds, over current threshold,  
and hic-cup delay, a highly flexible design with minimal  
external components is possible. Other features include  
peak current mode control, adjustable soft-start, slope  
compensation, adjustable oscillator frequency, and a bi-  
directional synchronization clock input.  
Gate Drive  
The ISL6721 is capable of sourcing and sinking 1A peak  
current. Separate collector supply (V ) and power ground  
C
(PGnd) pins help isolate the IC’s analog circuitry from the  
high power gate drive noise. To limit the peak current  
through the IC, an external resistor may be placed between  
the totem-pole output of the IC (GATE pin) and the gate of  
the MOSFET. This small series resistor also damps any  
oscillations caused by the resonant tank of the parasitic  
inductances in the traces of the board and the FET’s input  
capacitance.  
Oscillator  
The ISL6721 have a sawtooth oscillator with a  
programmable frequency range to 1MHz, which can be  
programmed with a resistor and capacitor on the RTCT pin.  
(Please refer to Fig. 4 for the resistance and capacitance  
required for a given frequency.)  
Slope Compensation  
For applications where the maximum duty cycle is less than  
50%, slope compensation may be used to improve noise  
immunity, particularly at lighter loads. The amount of slope  
compensation required for noise immunity is determined  
empirically, but is generally about 10% of the full scale  
current feedback signal. For applications where the duty  
cycle is greater than 50%, slope compensation is required to  
prevent instability. Slope compensation is a technique in  
which the current feedback signal is modified by adding  
additional slope to it. The minimum amount of slope  
compensation required corresponds to 1/2 the inductor  
downslope. However, adding excessive slope compensation  
Implementing Synchronization  
The oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock  
applied at the SYNC pin or by connecting the SYNC pins of  
multiple ICs together. If an external master clock signal is  
used, it must be at least 65% of the free running frequency of  
the oscillator for proper synchronization. The external master  
clock signal should have a pulse width greater than 20ns. If  
no master clock is used, the first device to assert SYNC  
assumes control of the SYNC signal. An external SYNC

results in a control loop that behaves more as a voltage  
mode controller than as current mode controller.  
Otherwise another shutdown cycle occurs. A UV condition  
also results in a shutdown fault, but the device does not  
enter the low power mode and no restart delay occurs when  
the fault clears.

A resistor divider between Vin and LGND to each input  
determines the operational thresholds. The UV threshold  
has a fixed hysteresis of 75mV nominal.  
Over Current Operation  
The over current threshold level is set by the voltage applied  
at the ISET pin. Setting the over current level may be  
accomplished by using a resistor divider network from VREF  
to LGND. The ISET threshold should be set at a level that  
corresponds to the desired peak output inductor current plus  
the additive effects of slope compensation.

Over current delayed shutdown is enabled once the soft start  
cycle is complete. If an over current condition is detected,  
the soft start charging current source is disabled and the

capacitor is discharged at a rate of 40µA. At the same time a  
50µS retriggerable one-shot timer is activated. It remains  
active for 50µS after the over current condition stops. The  
soft start discharge cycle cannot be reset until the one-shot  
timer becomes inactive. If the soft start capacitor discharges  
by more then 0.125V to 4.375V, the output is disabled and  
the soft start capacitor is discharged. The output remains

A new soft start cycle is then initiated. The shutdown and

hic-cup operation due to its repetitive start-up and shutdown  
characteristic.

ton = D/Fsw = 0.6/250E3 = 2.4µS

If the over current condition ceases at least 50µS prior to the  
soft start voltage reaching 4.375V, the soft start charging and  
discharging currents revert to normal operation and the soft  
start voltage is allowed to recover.  
Determine the downslope:  
Downslope = 0.125V/1.6µS = 78mV/µS. Now determine the  
amount of voltage that must be added to the current sense  
signal by the end of the On time.  
Hic-cup OC protection may be defeated by setting ISET to a  
voltage that exceeds the Error Amplifier current control  
voltage, or about 1.5V.

The initial 100ns of the current feedback signal input at  
ISENSE is removed by the leading edge blanking circuitry.  
The blanking period begins when the GATE output leading

causing false trips of the PWM comparator and the over

A Fault condition occurs if VREF falls below 4.65V, the OV

Transformer Design  
The design of a flyback transformer is a non-trivial affair. It is  
an iterative process which requires a great deal of  
experience to achieve the desired result. It is a process of  
many compromises, and even experienced designers will  
produce different designs when presented with identical  
requirements. The iterative design process is not presented  
here for clarity.

C
to PGND with good high frequency capacitors. The return  
connection for input power and the bulk input capacitor  
should be connected to the PGND ground plane.  
The abbreviated design process follows:  
Reference Design  
• Select a core geometry suitable for the application.  
Constraints of height, footprint, mounting preference, and  
operating environment will affect the choice.  
The Typical Application Schematic features the ISL6721 in a  
conventional dual output 10W discontinuous mode flyback  
DC-DC converter. The ISL6721EVAL1 demonstration unit  
implements this design and is available for evaluation.  
• Select suitable core material(s).  
The input voltage range is from 36 to 75V DC, and the two  
outputs are 3.3V @ 2.5A and 1.8V @ 1.0A. Cross regulation  
is achieved using the weighted sum of the two outputs.  
• Select maximum flux density desired for operation.  
• Select core size. Core size will be dictated by the  
capability of the core structure to store the required  
energy, the number of turns that have to be wound, and  
the wire gauge needed. Often the window area (the space  
used for the windings) and power loss determine the final  
core size. For flyback transformers, the ability to store  
energy is the critical factor in determining the core size.  
The cross sectional area of the core and the length of the  
air gap in the magnetic path determine the energy storage  
capability.  
Circuit Element Descriptions

functional blocks:

Start Bias Regulator: R1, R2, R6, Q3, VR1  
Operating Bias and Regulator: R25, Q2, D1, C5, CR2, D2  
Main MOSFET Power Switch: Q1  
• Determine maximum desired flux density. Depending on  
the frequency of operation, the core material selected, and  
the operating environment, the allowed flux density must  
be determined. The decision of what flux density to allow  
is often difficult to determine initially. Usually the highest  
flux density that produces an acceptable design is used,  
but often the winding geometry dictates a larger core than  
is required based on flux density and energy storage  
calculations.

in flux density in Tesla.  
A core structure having less airgap volume than calculated  
will be incapable of providing the full output power over some  
portion of its operating range. On the other hand, if the  
length of the airgap becomes large, magnetic field fringing  
around the gap occurs. This has the effect of increasing the  
airgap volume. Some fringing is usually acceptable, but  
excessive fringing can cause increased losses in the  
windings around the gap resulting in excessive heating.  
Once a suitable core and gap combination are found, the  
iterative design cycle begins. A design is developed and  
checked for ease of assembly and thermal performance. If  
the core does not allow adequate space for the windings,  
then a core with a larger window area is required. If the  
transformer runs hot, it may be necessary to lower the flux  
density (more primary turns, lower operating frequency),  
select a less lossy core material, change the geometry of the  
windings (winding order), use heavier gauge wire or multi-  
filar windings, and/or change the type of wire used (Litz wire,  
for example).  
With a turns ratio of 5:3 for the secondary windings, we will  
use N = 5 turns and N = 3 turns. Checking the reset time

using these values for the number of secondary turns yields  
a duration of Tr = 2.33µS or about 47% of the switching  
period, an acceptable result.  
The bias winding turns may be calculated similarly, only a  
diode forward drop of 0.7V is used. The rounded off result is  
17 turns for a 12V bias.

Iprms is the RMS primary current. Determining the

The secondary wire gauge must be selected accordingly.  
The switching losses have two components, capacitive  
switching losses and voltage/current overlap losses. The  
capacitive losses occur during turn on of the device and may  
be calculated as follows:  
The determination of current carrying capacity of wire is a  
compromise between performance, size, and cost. It is  
affected by many design constraints such as operating  
frequency (harmonic content of the waveform) and the  
winding proximity/geometry. It generally ranges between 250  
and 1000 circular mils per ampere. A circular mil is defined  
as the area of a circle 0.001” (1 mil) in diameter. As the  
frequency of operation increases, the AC resistance of the  
wire increases due to skin and proximity effects. Using  
heavier gauge wire may not alleviate the problem. Instead  
multiple strands of wire in parallel must be used. In some  
cases Litz wire is required.

Selection of the main switching MOSFET requires

where Tol is the duration of the overlap period and x ranges  
from about 3 - 6 in typical applications and depends on  
where the waveforms intersect. This estimate may predict  
higher dissipation than is realized because a portion of the  
turn off drain current is attributable to the charging of the  
device output capacitance (Coss) and is not dissipative  
during this portion of the switching cycle.  
The input voltage range of the converter is 36 - 75V DC. This

The final component of MOSFET loss is caused by the  
charging of the gate capacitance through the device gate  
resistance. Depending on the relative value of any external  
resistance in the gate drive circuit, a portion of this power will  
be dissipated externally.  
The change in voltage due to the change in charge of the  
output capacitor, Q, determines how much capacitance is  
required on the output.

ESL adds to the ripple and noise voltage in proportion to the  
rate of change of current into the capacitor (V = L di/dt).  
Once the losses are known, the device package must be  
selected and the heatsinking method designed. Since the  
design requires a small surface mount part, a SOIC-8  
package was selected. A Fairchild FDS2570 MOSFET was  
selected based on these criteria. The overall losses are  
estimated at 400mW.

Capacitors having high capacitance usually do not have  
sufficiently low ESL. High frequency capacitors such as  
surface mount ceramic or film are connected in parallel with  
the high capacitance capacitors to address the effects of  
ESL. A combination of high frequency and high ripple  
capability capacitors is used to achieve the desired overall  
performance. The analysis of the 1.8V output is similar to  
that of the 3.3V output and is omitted for brevity. Two  
OSCON 4SEP560M (560µF) electrolytic capacitors and a  
22µF X5R ceramic 1210 capacitor were selected for both the  
3.3 and 1.8V outputs. The 4SEP560M electrolytic capacitors  
are each rated at 4520mA ripple current and 13mof ESR.  
The ripple current rating of just one of these capacitors is  
adequate, but two are needed to meet the minimum ESR  
and capacitance values.  
Output Filter Design  
In a flyback design, the primary concern for the design of the  
output filter is the capacitor ripple current stress and the  
ripple and noise specification of the output.  
The current flowing in and out of the output capacitors is the  
difference between the winding current and the output  
current. The peak secondary current, Ispk, is 10.73A for the  
3.3V output and 4.29A for the 1.8V output. The current  
flowing into the output filter capacitor is the difference  
between the winding current and the output current. Looking  
at the 3.3V output, the peak winding current is Ispk =  
10.73A. The capacitor must store this amount minus the  
output current of 2.5A, or 8.23A. The RMS ripple current in  
the 3.3V output capacitor is about 3.5 Arms. The RMS ripple  
current in the 1.8V output capacitor is about 1.4 Arms  
The bias output is of such low power and current that it  
places negligible stress on its filter capacitor. A single 0.1µF  
ceramic capacitor was selected.  
Voltage deviation on the output during the switching cycle  
(ripple and noise) is caused by the change in charge of the  
output capacitance, the equivalent series resistance (ESR),  
and equivalent series inductance (ESL). Each of these  
components must be assigned a portion of the total ripple  
and noise specification. How much to allow for each  
contributor is dependent on the capacitor technology used.  
Control Loop Design  
The major components of the feedback control loop are a  
programmable shunt regulator, an opto-coupler, and the  
inverting amplifier of the ISL6721. The opto-coupler is used  
to transfer the error signal across the isolation barrier. The  
opto-coupler offers a convenient means to cross the isolation  
barrier, but it adds complexity to the feedback control loop. It  
adds a pole at about 10kHz and a significant amount of gain  
variation due the current transfer ratio (CTR). The CTR of  
the opto-coupler varies with initial tolerance, temperature,  
forward current, and age.  
For purposes of this discussion we will assume the following:  
3.3V output: 100mV total output ripple and noise  
ESR: 60mV  
Capacitor Q: 10mV  
ESL: 30mV  
1.8V output: 50mV total output ripple and noise  
ESR: 30mV  
Capacitor Q: 5mV  
ESL: 15mV

The loop compensation is placed around the Error Amplifier

side amplifier located in the control IC is used as a unity gain  
inverting amplifier and provides no loop compensation. A

Development of a small signal model for current mode  
control is rather complex. The method of reference [1] was  
selected for its ability to accurately predict loop behavior. To  
further simplify the analysis, the converter will be modeled  
as a single output supply with all of the output capacitance  
reflected to the 3.3V output. Once the “single” output system  
is compensated, adjustments to the compensation will be  
required based on actual loop measurements.

The first parameter to determine is the peak current  
feedback loop gain. Since this application is low power, a  
resistor in series with the source of the power switching  
MOSFET is used for the current feedback signal. For higher

power and current transformer would be used instead.

The Type 2 compensation configuration has two poles and  
one zero. The first pole is at the origin, and provides the  
integration characteristic which results in excellent DC  
regulation. Referring to the Typical Application Schematic,  
There is limited flexibility to adjust the current loop behavior  
due to the need to provide over current protection. Current  
limit and the current loop gain are determined by the current  
sense resistor and the ISET threshold. ISET was set at 1.0V,  
near its maximum, to minimize noise effects. When

From (EQ. 27), it can be seen that the control to output  
transfer function frequency dependence is a function of the  
output load resistance, the value of output capacitance, and  
the output capacitance ESR. These variations must be  
considered when compensating the control loop. The worst  
case small signal operating point for the converter is at  
minimum Vin, maximum load, maximum Cout, and minimum  
ESR.

The higher the desired bandwidth of the converter, the more  
difficult it is to create a solution that is stable over the entire  
operating range. A good rule of thumb is to limit the  
bandwidth to about Fsw/4. For this example, the bandwidth  
will be further limited due to the low GBWP of the LM431-  
based Error Amplifier and the opto-coupler. A bandwidth of  
approximately 5kHz was selected.

FIGURE 9B. PHASE MARGIN  
For the EA compensation, the first pole is placed at the origin  
by default (C14 is an integrating capacitor). The first zero is  
placed below the crossover frequency, f , usually around  
co  
1/3 f . The second pole is placed at the lower of the ESR  
co  
zero or at one half of the switching frequency. The midband  
gain is then adjusted to obtain the desired crossover  
frequency. If the phase margin is not adequate, the  
crossover frequency may have to be reduced.  
Using this technique to determine the compensation, the  
following values for the EA components were selected.
