ISL6420
Advanced Single Synchronous Buck Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Controller
The ISL6420 makes simple work out of implementing a
complete control and protection scheme for a high-
performance DC/DC buck converter. Designed to drive
N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck
topology, the ISL6420 integrates control, output adjustment,
monitoring and protection functions into a single package.
Additionally, the IC features an external reference voltage
tracking mode for externally referenced buck converter
applications and DDR termination supplies, as well as a
voltage margining mode for system testing in networking
DC/DC converter applications.
The ISL6420 provides simple, single feedback loop, voltage
mode control with fast transient response. The output
voltage of the converter can be precisely regulated to as low
as 0.6V.
The operating frequency is fully adjustable from 100kHz to
1.4MHz. High frequency operation offers cost and space
savings.
The error amplifier features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth
product and 6V/µs slew rate that enables high converter
bandwidth for fast transient response. The PWM duty cycle
ranges from 0% to 100% in transient conditions. Selecting
the capacitor value from the ENSS pin to ground sets a fully
adjustable PWM soft-start. Pulling the ENSS pin LOW
disables the controller.
The ISL6420 monitors the output voltage and generates a
PGOOD (power good) signal when soft-start sequence is
complete and the output is within regulation. A built-in
overvoltage protection circuit prevents the output voltage
from going above typically 115% of the set point. Protection
from overcurrent conditions is provided by monitoring the
r
DS(ON)
of the upper MOSFET to inhibit the PWM operation
appropriately. This approach simplifies the implementation
and improves efficiency by eliminating the need for a current
sensing resistor.
