1.2A Synchronous Buck Regulator
The
ISL854102
is a 1.2A synchronous buck regulator with an
input range of 3V to 40V. It provides an easy-to-use, high
efficiency, low BOM count solution for a variety of applications.
The ISL854102 integrates both high-side and low-side NMOS
FETs and features a PFM mode for improved efficiency at light
loads. This feature can be disabled if a forced PWM mode is
needed. The ISL854102 switches at a default frequency of
500kHz; however, it can also be programmed using an
external resistor from 300kHz to 2MHz. The ISL854102 has
the ability to use internal or external compensation. By
integrating both NMOS devices and providing internal
configuration options, minimal external components are
required, which reduces the BOM count and design complexity.
With a wide VIN range and reduced BOM, the ISL854102
provides an easy to implement design solution for a variety of
applications while giving superior performance. The
ISL854102 provides a very robust design for high-voltage
industrial applications and an efficient solution for battery
powered applications.
The ISL854102 is available in a small Pb-free 4mmx3mm DFN
plastic package with a full-range industrial temperature of
-40°C to +125°C.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Controls the soft-start ramp time of the output. A single capacitor from the SS pin to ground determines the
output ramp rate. See
“Soft-Start” on page 13
for soft-start details. If the SS pin is tied to VCC, an internal
soft-start of 2ms is used.
Synchronization and light load operational mode selection input. Connect to logic high or VCC for PWM
mode. Connect to logic low or ground for PFM mode. Logic ground enables the IC to automatically choose
PFM or PWM operation. Connect to an external clock source for synchronization with positive edge trigger.
The sync source must be higher than the programmed IC frequency. An internal 5MΩ pull-down resistor
prevents an undefined logic state if SYNC is left floating.
Floating bootstrap supply pin for the power MOSFET gate driver. The bootstrap capacitor provides the
necessary charge to turn on the internal N-Channel MOSFET. Connect an external 100nF capacitor from this
pin to PHASE.
The input supply for the power stage of the regulator and the source for the internal linear bias regulator.
Place a minimum of 4.7µF ceramic capacitance from VIN to GND and close to the IC for decoupling.
Switch node output. It connects the switching FETs with the external output inductor.
Power ground connection. Connect directly to the system GND plane.
Regulator enable input. The regulator and bias LDO are held off when the pin is pulled to ground. When the
voltage on this pin rises above 1V, the chip is enabled. Connect this pin to VIN for automatic start-up. Do not
connect the EN pin to VCC because the LDO is controlled by EN voltage.
Open-drain, power-good output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is below regulation limits or
during the soft-start interval. There is an internal 5MΩ internal pull-up resistor.
Output of the internal 5V linear bias regulator. Decouple to PGND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor at the pin.
Feedback pin for the regulator. FB is the inverting input to the voltage loop error amplifier. COMP is the
output of the error amplifier. The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB. In
addition, the PWM regulator’s power-good and UVLO circuits use FB to monitor the regulator output voltage.
COMP is the output of the error amplifier. When it is tied to VCC, internal compensation is used. When only
an RC network is connected from COMP to GND, external compensation is used. See
“Loop Compensation
Design” on page 16
for more details.
Frequency selection pin. Tie to VCC for 500kHz switching frequency. Connect a resistor to GND for adjustable
frequency from 300kHz to 2MHz.
Signal ground connections. Connect to the application board GND plane with at least five vias. All voltage
levels are measured with respect to this pin. The EPAD MUST NOT float.
