Dual 800mA Low Quiescent Current 2.25MHz High
Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator
ISL78228
The ISL78228 is a high efficiency, dual synchronous step-down
DC/DC regulator that can deliver up to 800mA continuous
output current per channel. The supply voltage range of 2.75V
to 5.5V allows for the use of a 3.3V or 5V input. The current
mode control architecture enables very low duty cycle
operation at high frequency with fast transient response and
excellent loop stability. The ISL78228 operates above the AM
radio band as well as the 2.25MHz switching frequency,
allowing for the use of small, low cost inductors and
capacitors. Each channel is optimized for generating an output
voltage as low as 0.6V.
The ISL78228 has a user configurable mode of
operation-forced PWM mode and PFM/PWM mode. The forced
PWM mode operation reduces noise and RF interference while
the PFM mode operation provides high efficiency by reducing
switching losses at light loads. In PFM mode of operation, both
channels draw a total quiescent current of only 30µA, hence
enabling high light load efficiency in order to maximize battery
life.
The ISL78228 offers a 1ms Power-Good (PG) to monitor both
outputs at power-up. When shutdown, ISL78228 discharges
the outputs capacitor. Other features include internal digital
soft-start, enable for power sequence, overcurrent protection,
and thermal shutdown. The ISL78228 is offered in a
3mmx3mm 10 Ld DFN package with 1mm maximum height.
The complete converter occupies less than 1.8cm
2
area.
The ISL78228 is both AEC - Q100 rated and fully TS16949
compliant. The ISL78228 is rated for the automotive
temperature range (-40°C to +105°C).

DESCRIPTION
The feedback network of the Channel 1 regulator. FB1 is the negative input to the transconductance error amplifier. The output
voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB1. With a properly selected divider, the output voltage can be set to any
voltage between the power rail (reduced by converter losses) and the 0.6V reference. There is an internal compensation to meet a
typical application. In addition, the regulator power-good and undervoltage protection circuitry use FB1 to monitor the Channel 1
regulator output voltage.
Regulator Channel 1 enable pin. Enable the output, V
OUT1
, when driven to high. Shutdown the V
OUT1
and discharge output
capacitor when driven to low. Do not leave this pin floating.
Input supply voltage. Connect 10µF ceramic capacitor to power ground.
Switching node connection for Channel 1. Connect to one terminal of inductor for V
OUT1
.
Recommended to connect this pin to the exposed pad.
Mode Selection pin. Connect to logic high or input voltage VIN for PFM mode; connect to logic low or ground for forced PWM mode.
Connect to an external function generator for Synchronization, and negative edge trigger. Do not leave this pin floating.
Switching node connection for Channel 2. Connect to one terminal of inductor for V
OUT2
.
1ms timer output. At power-up or EN_ HI, this output is a 1ms delayed Power-Good signal for both the V
OUT1
and V
OUT2
voltages.
There is an internal 1MΩ pull-up resistor.
Regulator Channel 2 enable pin. Enable the output, V
OUT2
, when driven to high. Shutdown the V
OUT2
and discharge output
capacitor when driven to low. Do not leave this pin floating.
The feedback network of the Channel 2 regulator. FB2 is the negative input to the transconductance error amplifier. The output
voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB2. With a properly selected divider, the output voltage can be set to any
voltage between the power-rail (reduced by converter losses) and the 0.6V reference. There is an internal compensation to meet a
typical application.
In addition, the regulator power-good and undervoltage protection circuitry use FB2 to monitor the Channel 2 regulator output voltage.
The exposed pad must be connected to PGND for proper electrical performance. Add as much vias as possible for optimal thermal
performance.
