Radiation Hardened and SEE Hardened 3V to 13.2V, 6A Buck Regulator
The
ISL70003SEH
is a radiation and SEE hardened
synchronous buck regulator capable of operating over an input
voltage range of 3.0V to 13.2V. With integrated MOSFETs, this
highly efficient single chip power solution provides a tightly
regulated output voltage that is externally adjustable from
0.6V to ~90% of the input voltage. Continuous output load
current capability is 6A for T
J
≤
+125°C and 3A for T
J
≤
+150°C.
The ISL70003SEH uses voltage mode control architecture with
feed-forward and switches at a selectable frequency of
500kHz or 300kHz. Loop compensation is externally
adjustable to allow for an optimum balance between stability
and output dynamic performance. The internal synchronous
power switches are optimized for high efficiency and excellent
thermal performance.
The chip features two logic-level disable inputs that can be
used to inhibit pulses on the phase (LXx) pins in order to
maximize efficiency based on the load current. The
ISL70003SEH also supports DDR applications and contains a
buffer amplifier for generating the V
REF
voltage.
High integration, best in class radiation performance and a
feature-filled design make the ISL70003SEH an ideal choice
to power many of todays small form-factor applications.

DESCRIPTION
This pin is the non-inverting input to the internal error amplifier. Connect this pin to the REF pin for
typical applications or the BUFOUT pin for DDR memory power applications.
This pin is the inverting input to the internal error amplifier. An external Type III compensation network
should be connected between this pin and the VERR pin. The connection between the FB resistor divider
and the output inductor should be a Kelvin connection to optimize performance.
This pin is the output of the internal error amplifier. An external compensation network should be
connected between this pin and the FB pin.
This pin is the power-on reset input to the IC. This is a comparator-type input with a rising threshold of
0.6V and programmable hysteresis. Driving this pin above 0.6V enables the IC. Bypass this pin to AGND
with a 10nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE.
This pin is the output of the internal linear regulator and the bias supply input to the internal analog
control circuitry. Locally filter this pin to AGND using a 0.47µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to
the IC.
This pin provides the supply for internal linear regulator of the ISL70003SEH. The supply to AVDD
should be locally bypassed using a ceramic capacitor. Tie AVDD to the PVINx pins.
This pin is the analog ground associated with the internal analog control circuitry. Connect this pin
directly to the PCB ground plane.
This pin is the ground associated with the internal digital control circuitry. Connect this pin directly to
the PCB ground plane.
This pin is the output of the internal linear regulator and the supply input to the internal reference
circuit. Locally filter this pin to AGND using a 0.47µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the IC.
This pin provides the supply for the internal linear regulator of the ISL70003SEH. The supply to DVDD
should be locally bypassed using a ceramic capacitor. Tie DVDD to the PVINx pin.
This pin is the output of the internal linear regulator and the bias supply input to the internal digital
control circuitry. Locally filter this pin to DGND using a 0.47µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible
to the IC.
This pin is a logic-level enable input. Pulling this pin low powers down the chip by placing it into a very
low power sleep mode.
A resistor to VIN and a capacitor to GND provide feed-forward to keep a constant modulator gain of 4.8
as VIN varies.
This pin is the oscillator frequency select input. Tie this pin to 5V to select a 300kHz nominal oscillator
frequency. Tie this pin to the PCB ground plane to select a 500kHz nominal oscillator frequency.
This pin is the frequency synchronization input to the IC. This pin should be tied to GND to free-run from
the internal oscillator or connected to an external clock for external frequency synchronization.
This pin is the soft-start input. Connect a ceramic capacitor from this pin to the PCB ground plane to set
the soft-start output ramp time in accordance with
Equation 1:
t
SS
=
C
SS
V

where:

V

I
SS
= soft-start charging current (23µA typical)
Soft-start time is adjustable from approximately 2ms to 200ms. The range of the soft-start capacitor
should be 82nF to 8.2µF, inclusive.

Connect this pin to the PCB ground plane.
This pin is the power-good output. This pin is an open-drain, logic output that is pulled to DGND when
the output voltage is outside a ±11% typical regulation window. This pin can be pulled up to any voltage
from 0V to 13.2V, independent of the supply voltage. A nominal 1kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor is
recommended. Bypass this pin to the PCB ground plane with a 10nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE.
