+5V or +12V Single-Phase Synchronous  
Buck Converter PWM Controller with  
Integrated MOSFET Gate Drivers,  
Extended Soft-Start Time  
Features  
• Operates from +5V or +12V Bias Supply Voltage  
- 1.0V to 12V Input Voltage Range (up to 20V possible  
with restrictions; see Input Voltage Considerations)  
- 0.6V to V Output Voltage Range  
IN  
The ISL8105B is a simple single-phase PWM controller for a  
synchronous buck converter. It operates from +5V or +12V bias  
supply voltage. With integrated linear regulator, boot diode, and  
N-Channel MOSFET gate drivers, the ISL8105B reduces  
external component count and board space requirements.  
These make the IC suitable for a wide range of applications.  
• 0.6V Internal Reference Voltage  
- ±1.0% Tolerance Over the Commercial Temperature  
Range (0°C to +70°C)  
- ±1.5% Tolerance Over the Industrial Temperature  
Range (-40°C to +85°C).  
• Integrated MOSFET Gate Drivers that Operate from  
Utilizing voltage-mode control, the output voltage can be  
precisely regulated to as low as 0.6V. The 0.6V internal  
reference features a maximum tolerance of ±1.0% over the  
commercial temperature range, and ±1.5% over the  
industrial temperature range. The controller operates with a  
fixed switching frequency of 300kHz.

- Drives N-Channel MOSFETs  
• Simple Voltage-Mode PWM Control  
• Fast Transient Response  
The ISL8105B features the capability of safe start-up with  
pre-biased load. It also provides overcurrent protection by  
monitoring the on resistance of the bottom-side MOSFET to  
inhibit PWM operation appropriately. During start-up interval,  
the resistor connected to BGATE/BSOC pin is employed to  
program overcurrent protection condition. This approach  
simplifies the implementation and does not deteriorate  
converter efficiency.

FB (SOIC Pin 6, DFN Pin 8)  
Functional Pin Description (SOIC, DFN)  
This pin is the inverting input of the internal error amplifier.  
Use FB, in combination with the COMP/EN pin, to  
compensate the voltage-control feedback loop of the  
converter. A resistor divider from the output to GND is used  
to set the regulation voltage.  
BOOT (SOIC Pin 1, DFN Pin 1)  
This pin provides ground referenced bias voltage to the  
top-side MOSFET driver. A bootstrap circuit is used to create  
a voltage suitable to drive an N-channel MOSFET (equal to  
V
minus the on-chip BOOT diode voltage drop), with  
BIAS  
COMP/EN (SOIC Pin 7, DFN Pin 9)  
respect to LX.  
This is a multiplexed pin. During soft-start and normal converter  
operation, this pin represents the output of the error amplifier.  
Use COMP/EN, in combination with the FB pin, to compensate  
the voltage-control feedback loop of the converter.  
TGATE (SOIC Pin 2, DFN Pin 2)  
Connect this pin to the gate of top-side MOSFET; it provides  
the PWM-controlled gate drive. It is also monitored by the  
adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine  
when the top-side MOSFET has turned off.  
Pulling COMP/EN low (V  
= 0.4V nominal) will  
DISABLE  
disable (shut-down) the controller, which causes the  
oscillator to stop, the BGATE and TGATE outputs to be held  
low, and the soft-start circuitry to re-arm. The external  
pull-down device will initially need to overcome maximum of  
5mA of COMP/EN output current. However, once the IC is  
disabled, the COMP output will also be disabled, so only a  
20µA current source will continue to draw current.  
GND (SOIC Pin 3, DFN Pin 4)  
This pin represents the signal and power ground for the IC.  
Tie this pin to the ground island/plane through the lowest  
impedance connection available.  
BGATE/BSOC (SOIC Pin 4, DFN Pin 5)  
Connect this pin to the gate of the bottom-side MOSFET; it  
When the pull-down device is released, the COMP/EN pin  
will start to rise at a rate determined by the 20µA charging up  
the capacitance on the COMP/EN pin. When the COMP/EN

pin rises above the V  
trip point, the ISL8105B will

begin a new initialization and soft-start cycle.  
During a short period of time following Power-On Reset  
(POR) or shut-down release, this pin is also used to  
determine the current limit threshold of the converter.  
LX (SOIC Pin 8, DFN Pin 10)  
Connect this pin to the source of the top-side MOSFET and  
the drain of the bottom-side MOSFET. It is used as the sink  
for the TGATE driver and to monitor the voltage drop across  
the bottom-side MOSFET for overcurrent protection. This pin  
is also monitored by the adaptive shoot-through protection  
circuitry to determine when the top-side MOSFET has turned  
off.  
Connect a resistor (R  
) from this pin to GND. See  
BSOC  
“Overcurrent Protection (OCP)” on page 7 for equations. An  
overcurrent trip cycles the soft-start function, after two  
dummy soft-start time-outs. Some of the text describing the  
BGATE function may leave off the BSOC part of the name,  
when it is not relevant to the discussion.  
VBIAS (SOIC Pin 5, DFN Pin 6)  
N/C (DFN Only; Pin3, Pin 7)  
This pin provides the bias supply for the ISL8105B, as well  
as the bottom-side MOSFET's gate and the BOOT voltage  
for the top-side MOSFET's gate. An internal 5V regulator will

soft-start times. The COMP/EN will continue to ramp to ~1V.  
Functional Description  
Initialization (POR and OCP Sampling)  
From T1, there is a nominal 6.8ms delay, which allows the  
VBIAS pin to exceed 6.5V (if rising up towards 12V), so that  
the internal bias regulator can turn on cleanly. At the same  
time, the BGATE/BSOC pin is initialized by disabling the  
BGATE driver and drawing BSOC (nominal 21.5µA) through  
Figure 1 shows a start-up waveform of ISL8105B. The  
Power-On-Reset (POR) function continually monitors the  
bias voltage at the VBIAS pin. Once the rising POR  
threshold is exceeded 4V (V  
nominal), the POR function

initiates the Overcurrent Protection (OCP) sample and hold

longer time occurs with the higher overcurrent setting). The

voltage, so the stored value does not degrade, for as long as

Soft-Start and Pre-Biased Outputs  
Functionally, the soft-start internally ramps the reference on  
the non-inverting terminal of the error amp from zero to 0.6V  
in a nominal 13.6ms. The output voltage will thus follow the  
ramp, from zero to final value, in the same 13.6ms (the  
actual ramp seen on the V  
time), due to some initialization timing, between T3 and T4).

The initialization starts at T0, when either V rises above  
After an initialization period (T3 to T4), the error amplifier  
(COMP/EN pin) is enabled, and begins to regulate the  
converter's output voltage during soft-start. The oscillator's  
triangular waveform is compared to the ramping error  
amplifier voltage. This generates LX pulses of increasing  
width that charge the output capacitors. When the internally  
generated soft-start voltage exceeds the reference voltage  
(0.6V), the soft-start is complete and the output should be in  
regulation at the expected voltage. This method provides a  
rapid and controlled output voltage rise; there is no large  
inrush current charging the output capacitors. The entire  
start-up sequence from POR typically takes up to 23.8ms; up  
to 10.2ms for the delay and OCP sample and 13.6ms for the  
soft-start ramp.

Overcurrent Protection (OCP)  
The overcurrent function protects the converter from a  
shorted output by using the bottom-side MOSFET's  
on-resistance, r  
, to monitor the current. A resistor

(R  
) programs the overcurrent trip level (see Typical  
BSOC  
Application Diagram). This method enhances the converter's  
efficiency and reduces cost by eliminating a current sensing  
resistor. If overcurrent is detected, the output immediately  
shuts off, it cycles the soft-start function in a hiccup mode  
(2 dummy soft-start time-outs, then up to one real one) to  
provide fault protection. If the shorted condition is not  
removed, this cycle will continue indefinitely.

Following POR (and 6.8ms delay), the ISL8105B initiates the  
Overcurrent Protection sample and hold operation. The  
BGATE driver is disabled to allow an internal 21.5µA current  
source to develop a voltage across R  
. The ISL8105B  
BSOC  
samples this voltage (which is referenced to the GND pin) at  
the BGATE/BSOC pin, and holds it in a counter and DAC  
combination. This sampled voltage is held internally as the  
Overcurrent Set Point, for as long as power is applied, or  
until a new sample is taken after coming out of a shut-down.

The actual monitoring of the bottom-side MOSFET's  
on-resistance starts 200ns (nominal) after the edge of the  
internal PWM logic signal (that creates the rising external  
BGATE signal). This is done to allow the gate transition

monitoring. The monitoring ends when the internal PWM

If the IC is disabled after soft-start (by pulling COMP/EN pin  
low), and then enabled (by releasing the COMP/EN pin),  
then the full initialization (including OCP sample) will take  
place. However, there is no new OCP sampling during

r
. For those cases, if the BGATE is too narrow (or not  
DS(ON)  
there at all) for 3 consecutive pulses, then the third pulse will  
be stretched and/or inserted to the 425ns minimum width.  
This allows for OCP monitoring every third pulse under this  
condition. This can introduce a small pulse-width error on the  
output voltage, which will be corrected on the next pulse;  
and the output ripple voltage will have an unusual 3-clock  
pattern, which may look like jitter. If the OCP is disabled (by  
choosing a too-high value of R  
, or no resistor at all),  
BSOC  
then the pulse stretching feature is also disabled. Figure 4  
illustrates the BGATE pulse width stretching, as the width  
gets smaller.

ballpark (500Ω to 3000Ω). If the voltage drop across R  
BSOC  
is set too low, that can cause almost continuous OCP  
tripping and retry. It would also be very sensitive to system  
noise and inrush current spikes, so it should be avoided. The  
BGATE > 425ns  
maximum usable setting is around 0.2V across R  
BSOC  
(0.4V across the MOSFET); values above that might disable  
the protection. Any voltage drop across R that is  
BSOC  
greater than 0.3V (0.6V MOSFET trip point) will disable the  
OCP. The preferred method to disable OCP is simply to  
remove the resistor, which will be detected as no OCP.  
BGATE = 425ns  
Note that conditions during power-up or during a retry may  
look different than normal operation. During power-up in a  
12V system, the IC starts operation just above 4V; if the  
supply ramp is slow, the soft-start ramp might be over well  
before 12V is reached. So with bottom-side gate drive  
voltages, the r  
of the MOSFETs will be higher during  
DS(ON)  
power-up, effectively lowering the OCP trip. In addition, the  
ripple current will likely be different at lower input voltage.  
BGATE < 425ns  
Another factor is the digital nature of the soft-start ramp. On  
each discrete voltage step, there is in effect a small load  
transient, and a current spike to charge the output  
capacitors. The height of the current spike is not controlled; it  
is affected by the step size of the output, the value of the  
output capacitors, as well as the IC error amp compensation.  
So it is possible to trip the overcurrent with inrush current, in  
addition to the normal load and ripple considerations.

Figure 5 shows the output response during a retry of an

are two internal soft-start delay cycles (T1 and T2) to allow  
the MOSFETs to cool down, to keep the average power  
dissipation in retry at an acceptable level. At time T2, the  
output starts a normal soft-start cycle, and the output tries to  
ramp. If the short is still applied, and the current reaches the  
BSOC trip point any time during soft-start ramp period, the  
output will shut off and return to time T0 for another delay  
cycle. The retry period is thus two dummy soft-start cycles

start ramps begins. This prevents a disturbance on the  
output, due to the internal regulator turning on or off. If the  
transition is slow (not a step change), the disturbance should  
be minimal. So while the recommendation is to not have the  
output enabled during the transition through this region, it  
may be acceptable. The user should monitor the output for  
their application to see if there is any problem.  
trip the sensor each time). Figure 5 shows an example  
where the output gets about half-way up before shutting  
down; therefore, the retry (or hiccup) time will be around  
34ms. The minimum should be nominally 27.2ms and the  
maximum 40.8ms. If the short condition is finally removed,  
the output should ramp up normally on the next T2 cycle.  
Starting up into a shorted load looks the same as a retry into  
that same shorted load. In both cases, OCP is always  
enabled during soft-start; once it trips, it will go into retry  
(hiccup) mode. The retry cycle will always have two dummy  
time-outs, plus whatever fraction of the real soft-start time  
passes before the detection and shutoff; at that point, the  
logic immediately starts a new two dummy cycle time-out.

to work anywhere from 6.5V up to the 14.4V maximum. The  
range between 5.5V and 6.5V is NOT allowed for  
long-term reliability reasons, but transitions through it to  
The second consideration for high V is the maximum (BOOT

BIAS IN

BIAS IN  
voltages above 6.5V are acceptable.  
So based on typical circuits, a 20V maximum V is a good

There is an internal 5V regulator for bias; it turns on between  
5.5V and 6.5V. Some of the delay after POR is there to allow  
a typical power supply to ramp up past 6.5V before the soft-  
starting assumption; the user should verify the ringing in their  
particular application.

DS(ON)  
has a circuit that detects a long TGATE on-time (nominal  
100µs), and forces the BGATE to go high for one clock  
cycle, which will allow the boot capacitor some time to  
recharge. Separately, the OCP circuit has a BGATE pulse  
stretcher (to be sure the sample time is long enough), which  
can also help refresh the boot. But if OCP is disabled (no  
current sense resistor), the regular boot refresh circuit will  
still be active.

Figure 7 shows the critical power components of the

The ISL8105B incorporates a MOSFET shoot-through  
protection method which allows a converter to sink current  
as well as source current. Care should be exercised when  
designing a converter with the ISL8105B when it is known  
that the converter may sink current.  
Locate the ISL8105B within three inches of the MOSFETs,

source connections from the ISL8105B must be sized to  
handle up to 1A peak current.

Proper grounding of the IC is important for correct operation  
in noisy environments. The GND pin should be connected to  
a large copper fill under the IC which is subsequently  
connected to board ground at a quiet location on the board,  
typically found at an input or output bulk (electrolytic)  
capacitor.  
When the converter is sinking current, it is behaving as a  
boost converter that is regulating its input voltage. This  
means that the converter is boosting current into the V rail.

Layout Considerations

LAYOUT GUIDELINES  
As in any high-frequency switching converter, layout is very  
important. Switching current from one power device to another  
can generate voltage transients across the impedances of the  
interconnecting bond wires and circuit traces. These  
interconnecting impedances should be minimized by using  
wide, short printed circuit traces. The critical components  
should be located as close together as possible using ground  
plane construction or single point grounding.  
Figure 8 shows the circuit traces that require additional  
layout consideration. Use single point and ground plane  
construction for the circuits shown. Locate the resistor,

A stable control loop has a gain crossing with close to a

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.

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  
ISL8105B 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.

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, available series from Sprague, are both

With a lower input source such as 1.8V or 3.3V, the worst  
case response time can be either at the application or  
removal of load and dependent upon the output voltage  
setting. Be sure to check both of these equations at the  
minimum and maximum output levels for the worst case  
response time.  
MOSFET Selection/Considerations  
The ISL8105B requires two N-Channel power MOSFETs.  
Input Capacitor Selection  
These should be selected based upon r  
, gate supply  
DS(ON)  
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 Q turns on. Place the  
small ceramic capacitors physically close to the MOSFETs  
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  
1
components: conduction loss and switching loss. The  
conduction losses are the largest component of power  
dissipation for both the top and the bottom-side MOSFETs.  
These losses are distributed between the two MOSFETs  
according to duty factor. The switching losses seen when  
sourcing current will be different from the switching losses  
seen when sinking current. When sourcing current, the  
top-side MOSFET realizes most of the switching losses. The  
bottom-side switch realizes most of the switching losses  
when the converter is sinking current (see Equation 14).  
These equations assume linear voltage current transitions  
and do not adequately model power loss due to the reverse  
recovery of the upper and lower MOSFET’s body diode. The  
gate-charge losses are dissipated by the ISL8105B and do  
not heat the MOSFETs. However, large gate charge  
and between the drain of Q and the source of Q .

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  
as shown in Equation 13.
