DATASHEET
ISL6268
High-Performance Notebook PWM Controller
The ISL6268 IC is a Single-Phase Synchronous-Buck PWM
controller featuring Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R
3
)
technology that delivers truly superior dynamic response to
input voltage and output load transients. Integrated
MOSFET drivers and bootstrap diode result in fewer
components and smaller implementation area.
Intersil’s R
3
technology combines the best features of
fixed-frequency PWM and hysteretic PWM while eliminating
many of their shortcomings. R
3
technology employs an
innovative modulator that synthesizes an AC ripple voltage
signal V
R
, analogous to the output inductor ripple current. The
AC signal V
R
enters a window comparator where the lower
threshold is the error amplifier output V
COMP
, and the upper
threshold is a programmable voltage reference V
W,
resulting
in generation of the PWM signal. The voltage reference V
W
sets the steady-state PWM frequency. Both edges of the
PWM can be modulated in response to input voltage
transients and output load transients, much faster than
conventional fixed-frequency PWM controllers. Unlike a
conventional hysteretic converter, the ISL6268 has an error
amplifier that provides ±1% voltage regulation at the FB pin.
The ISL6268 has a 1.5ms digital soft-start and can be
started into a pre-biased output voltage. A resistor divider is
used to program the output voltage setpoint. The ISL6268
normally operates in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM),
automatically entering diode-emulation-mode (DEM) at low
load for optimum efficiency. In CCM the converter operates
as a synchronous rectifier. In DEM the low-side MOSFET
stays off, blocking negative current flow from the output
inductor.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100%
matte tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and
compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow
temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of
IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
