DC/DC Power Switching Regulator
The ISL8560 is a step down DC/DC power switching regulator which accepts 9.0V to 60V input and provides a 2A output current. The output voltage can be set in the range between 1.21V and 55V by means of an external divider. The device uses an internal power DMOS transistor with a typical rDS(ON) of 0.19 to obtain very high efficiency and high switching speed. A switching frequency in the range of 100kHz to 600kHz can be realized (the maximum power dissipation of the various packages must be observed). Notable features of this next generation of DC/DC converter includes pulse-by-pulse current limit for FET protection, hiccup mode for short circuit protection, voltage feedforward regulation, Frequency SYNC, soft-start, low standby current of 60A typical in the disabled state, and thermal shut-down. The device is available in a 20 Ld QFN package.

ISL8560 Pin Descriptions
LX (Pins 1, 2, 15, 16)
There are four output pins that must be connected together externally in normal operation.
SGND (Pin 8)
The SGND terminal of the ISL8560 provides the return path for the control and monitor portions of the IC.
FB (Pin 9)
This is the feedback pin. The feedback ratio is set by an external resistor divider connected to the load.
BOOT (Pin 3)
A capacitor is connected from this pin to the output pin. An internal 10V supply and an internal schottky diode provide the high side voltage to drive the gate of the output DMOS device.
COMP (Pin 10)
This pin is connected to the output of the Error Amplifier and is used to compensate the loop. The Error Amplifier is a GM amplifier.
EN# (Pin 4)
The EN# input will disable the part and shut-down all function when it is held high or left OPEN. The EN# current will be 10A typical. An internal pull-up resistor will hold the pin high. When EN# = Low, the part is enabled. Connect to GND for auto start-up.
REF (Pin 11)
1.20V reference output. Bypass to GND with 0.01F capacitor.
PGOOD (Pin 12)
This pin is an open drain output that is turned on when the feedback voltage is more than 10% from the reference voltage, indicating that the output is not within 10% of set point.
VCC5 (Pin 5)
VCC5 is the +5.0V output pin which provides an output of an internal supply for supply filtering purposes. A 1F capacitor should be connected from this pin to GND. Internal VDD supply is set at 5.0V (not planned that the user would use this supply).
PGND (Pin 13)
This pin is used as the ground connection of the power train.
SYNC (Pin 6)
This pin provides a digital input pin to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external signal. When the sync function is not used, this pin can be left open or tied to GND. If the sync function is used, the RTCT timing must be set to a frequency lower than the sync input frequency. The termination of the ramp is synchronized with the rising edge of the sync input signal. There are no duty cycle restrictions on the input sync signal. Input thresholds are TTL compatible.
SS (Pin 14)
A capacitor is connected from this pin to GND to determine the soft-start timing. The soft-start pin internal charging current is 10A.
VIN (Pins 17, 18, 19, 20)
The input supply for the PWM regulator power stage. Connected to DRAIN of the high side MOSFET.
RTCT (Pin 7)
A resistor to VIN and a capacitor to GND determine the frequency of the saw-tooth oscillator. Resistor range, R = 20k to 100k. Capacitor range, C = 470pF to 1.2nF. The oscillator amplitude will vary from approximately 0.9V to 10V as VIN changes from 8.5V to 60V to maintain constant frequency and provide feed forward. The oscillator will have a fixed off time, which will establish the maximum on time for the regulator. This off time will be <200ns. The maximum duty cycle for a 500kHz system will therefore be approximately 90% as the frequency of the maximum duty cycle will increase (95% for 250kHz system). The minimum duty cycle is zero.

Applications Information
Product Description
The ISL8560 is a non-synchronous, integrated FET 2A stepdown regulator which operates from an unregulated input of 9V to 60V. The output voltage is user-adjustable with a pair of external resistors. Frequency of operation is adjustable from 100kHz to 600kHz set by RTCT. An external signal with higher frequency can be injected to SYNCH to synchronize the controller. The buck controller drives an internal N-Channel MOSFET and requires an external diode to deliver load current up to 2A. A Schottky diode is recommended for improved efficiency and performance over a standard diode. The converter output is regulated down to 1.21V from an input source. The PWM control loop uses a single output voltage loop with input voltage feed forward which simplifies feedback loop compensation and rejects input voltage variation. External feedback loop compensation allows flexibility in output filter component selection. The buck regulator is equipped with a lossless current limit scheme. The current limit in the buck regulator is achieved by monitoring the drain-to-source current of the internal switching power MOSFET. The current limit threshold is internally set at 4.5A peak. Additional feature includes programable soft-start to support proper start up of wide output capacitance range.
voltage is gradually increased to ensure proper soft-start operation. When the EN# reaches logic LOW, the regulator repeats the start-up procedure, including the soft-start function. Connect a capacitor from SS pin to ground. This capacitor, along with an internal 10A current source sets the soft-start interval of the converter, tSS.

Operating Frequency
The ISL8560 can operate at switching frequencies from 100kHz to 600kHz. A resistor tied from the RTCT pin to VIN and a capacitor from RTCT to GND are used to program the switching frequency through the following equation.
6.25 1000 C 1 [ nF ] = ---------------- ----------------------------- - 0.3 R [ k ] f OSC [ kHz ] (EQ. 2)
Caution: When the ISL8560 is in disabled state, the voltage across RTCT pin will reach VIN voltage. Make sure that the voltage rating of the RTCT capacitor is rated as high as the input voltage.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the regulator can be programmed via an external resistor divider that is used to scale the output voltage relative to the internal reference voltage and feed it back to the inverting input of the error amplifier. Refer to Figure 30. The output voltage programming resistor, R3, will depend on the value chosen for the feedback resistor and the desired output voltage of the regulator. The value for the feedback resistor is typically between 1k and 10k.
R 2 x 1.21V R 3 = ------------------------------------V OUT - 1.21V (EQ. 3)
Start-Up and Shut-Down
When the EN# pin is connected to a logic high, the ISL8560 is in the shut-down mode. All the control circuitry and both MOSFETs are off, and VOUT falls to zero. In this mode, the total input current is less than 110A. When the EN# pin is tied to GND, and VIN reaches approximately 9V, the regulator begins to switch. The output
If the output voltage desired is 1.21V, then R3 is left unpopulated.

Fault Protection
The ISL8560 monitors the output of the regulator for overcurrent and undervoltage events. The ISL8560 also provides protection from excessive junction temperatures. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient and slow the current load rate seen by the bulk capacitors. The bulk filter capacitor values are generally determined by the ESR (Effective Series Resistance) and voltage rating requirements rather than actual capacitance requirements. High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the power pins of the load as physically possible. Be careful not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that could cancel the usefulness of these low inductance components. Consult with the manufacturer of the load on specific decoupling requirements. The shape of the output voltage waveform during a load transient that represents the worst case loading conditions will ultimately determine the number of output capacitors and their type. When this load transient is applied to the converter, most of the energy required by the load is initially delivered from the output capacitors. This is due to the finite amount of time required for the inductor current to slew up to the level of the output current required by the load. This phenomenon results in a temporary dip in the output voltage. At the very edge of the transient, the Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL) of each capacitor induces a spike that adds on top of the existing voltage drop due to the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). After the initial spike, attributable to the ESR and ESL of the capacitors, the output voltage experiences sag. This sag is a direct consequence of the amount of capacitance on the output. During the removal of the same output load, the energy stored in the inductor is dumped into the output capacitors. This energy dumping creates a temporary hump in the output voltage. This hump, as with the sag, can be attributed to the total amount of capacitance on the output. Figure 29 shows a typical response to a load transient.
Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent function protects the switching converter from a shorted output by monitoring the current flowing through the upper MOSFETs. Upon detection of overcurrent condition, the upper MOSFET will be immediately turned off and will not be turned on again until the next switching cycle. Upon detection of the initial overcurrent condition, the overcurrent fault counter is set to 1 and the overcurrent condition flag is set from LOW to HIGH. If, on the subsequent cycle, another overcurrent condition is detected, the OC fault counter will be incremented. If there are seven sequential OC fault detections, the regulator will be shut down under an overcurrent fault condition. An overcurrent fault condition will result with the regulator attempting to restart in a hiccup mode with the delay between restarts being 4 soft-start periods. At the end of the fourth soft-start wait period, the fault counters are reset and soft-start is attempted again. If the overcurrent condition goes away prior to the OC fault counter reaching a count of four, the overcurrent condition flag will set back to LOW. If the overcurrent condition flag is HIGH and the overcurrent fault counter is less than four and an undervoltage event is detected, the regulator will be shut down immediately.
Undervoltage Protection
If the voltage detected on the FB pin falls 14% below the internal reference voltage and the overcurrent condition flag is LOW, then the regulator will be shut down immediately under an undervoltage fault condition. An undervoltage fault condition will result with the regulator attempting to restart in a hiccup mode with the delay between restarts being 4 softstart periods. At the end of the fourth soft-start wait period, the fault counters are reset and soft-start is attempted again.
VHUMP VOUT
Thermal Protection
If the ISL8560 IC junction temperature reaches a nominal temperature of +150C, the regulator will be disabled. The ISL8560 will not re-enable the regulator until the junction temperature drops below +135C.
VESR VSAG VESL
Output Capacitor Selection
An output capacitor is required to filter the inductor current and supply the load transient current. The filtering requirements are a function of the switching frequency and the ripple current. The load transient requirements are a function of the slew rate (di/dt) and the magnitude of the transient load current. These requirements are generally met with a mix of capacitors and careful layout.

The amplitudes of the different types of voltage excursions can be approximated by using the formulas in Equation 4:
V ESR = ESR * I tran
2
dI tran V ESL = ESL * --------------dt
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current and voltage. However, the large inductance values reduce the converter's response time to a load transient. Use I of approximately 30% of IOUT is a good compromise. One of the parameters limiting the converter's response to a load transient is the time required to change the inductor current. Given a sufficiently fast control loop design, the ISL8560 will provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in response to a load transient. The response time is the time required to slew the inductor current from an initial current value to the transient current level. During this interval the difference between the inductor current and the transient current level must be supplied by the output capacitor. Minimizing the response time can minimize the output capacitance required. The response time to a transient is different for the application of load and the removal of load. Equation 8 gives the approximate response time interval for application and removal of a transient load:
tRISE = L x ITRAN VIN - VOUT tFALL = L x ITRAN VOUT (EQ. 8)
L out * I tran V SAG = ------------------------------------------------C out * ( V in - V out ) L out * I tran V HUMP = ------------------------------C out * V out
2
(EQ. 4)
where Itran = Output Load Current Transient Cout = Total Output Capacitance In a typical converter design, the ESR of the output capacitor bank dominates the transient response. The ESR and the ESL are typically the major contributing factors in determining the output capacitance. The number of output capacitors can be determined by using the following equation that relates the ESR and ESL of the capacitors to the transient load step and the voltage limit (Vo):
ESL * dI tran --------------------------------- + ESR * I tran dt Number of Caps = ----------------------------------------------------------------------V o (EQ. 5)
If VSAG and/or VHUMP are found to be too large for the output voltage limits, then the amount of capacitance may need to be increased. In this situation, a trade off between output inductance and output capacitance may be necessary. The ESL of the capacitors, which is an important parameter in Equations 4 and 5, is not usually listed in databooks. Practically, it can be approximated if an impedance vs frequency curve is given for a specific capacitor (C):
1 ESL = ---------------------------------------2 C ( 2 * * f res ) (EQ. 6)
where: ITRAN is the transient load current step, tRISE is the response time to the application of load, and tFALL is the response time to the removal of load. The worst case response time can be either at the application or removal of load. Be sure to check both of these equations at the minimum and maximum output levels for the worst case response time.
Rectifier Selection
Current circulates from ground to the junction of the MOSFET and the inductor when the high-side switch is off. As a consequence, the polarity of the switching node is negative with respect to ground. This voltage is approximately -0.5V (a Schottky diode drop) during the off time. The rectifier's rated reverse breakdown voltage must be at least equal to the maximum input voltage, preferably with a 20% derating factor. The power dissipation is:
V OUT P D [ W ] = I OUT V D 1 - --------------- V IN
where fres is the frequency where the lowest impedance is achieved (resonant frequency). The ESL of the capacitors becomes a concern when designing circuits that supply power to loads with high rates of change in the current.
(EQ. 9)
Output Inductor Selection
The output inductor is selected to meet the output voltage ripple requirements and minimize the converter's response time to the load transient. The inductor value determines the converter's ripple current and the ripple voltage is a function of the ripple current. The ripple voltage and current are approximated by Equation 7:
I = VIN - VOUT Fs x L x VOUT VIN VOUT = I x ESR (EQ. 7)
where VD is the voltage of the Schottky diode = 0.5V to 0.7V
Input Capacitor Selection
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage overshoot across the VIN's pin. Use small ceramic capacitors for high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors to supply the current needed each time the upper MOSFET turns on. Place the small ceramic capacitors physically close to the VIN and PGND pins. The important parameters for the bulk input capacitance are the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable

operation, select bulk capacitors with voltage and current ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest RMS current required by the circuit. Their voltage rating should be at least 1.25 times greater than the maximum input voltage, while a voltage rating of 1.5 times is a conservative guideline. For most cases, the RMS current rating requirement for the input capacitor of a buck regulator is approximately 1/2 the DC load current. The maximum RMS current through the input capacitors may be closely approximated through Equation 10:

For a through hole design, several electrolytic capacitors may be needed. For surface mount designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution must be exercised with regard to the capacitor surge current rating. These capacitors must be capable of handling the surge-current at power-up. Some capacitor series available from reputable manufacturers are surge current tested.

Feedback Compensation
Figure 30 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage (VOUT) is regulated to the Reference voltage level. The error amplifier output (VE/A) is compared with the oscillator (OSC) triangular wave to provide a pulse-width modulated (PWM) wave with an amplitude of VIN at the LX node. The PWM wave is smoothed by the output filter (LO and CO). The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer function of VOUT/VE/A . This function is dominated by a DC Gain and the output filter (LO and CO), with a double pole break frequency at fLC and a zero at fESR . The DC Gain of the modulator is simply the input voltage (VIN) divided by the peak-to-peak oscillator voltage VOSC . The ISL8560 incorporates a feed forward loop that accounts for changes in the input voltage. This maintains a constant modulator gain.

The compensation network consists of the transconductance amplifier (internal to the ISL8560) and the impedance networks ZIN and ZFB. The goal of the compensation network is to provide a closed loop transfer function with the highest 0dB crossing frequency (f0dB) and adequate phase margin. Phase margin is the difference between the closed loop phase at f0dB and 180. The equations in the following section relate the compensation network's poles, zeros and gain to the components (R2, R3 , R4 , R6, C10 , C6, and C7) in

Layout Considerations
Layout is very important in high frequency switching converter design. With power devices switching efficiently between 100kHz and 600kHz, the resulting current transitions from one device to another cause voltage spikes across the interconnecting impedances and parasitic circuit elements. These voltage spikes can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit, and lead to device overvoltage stress. Careful component layout and printed circuit board design minimizes these voltage spikes. As an example, consider the turn-off transition of the control MOSFET. Prior to turn-off, the MOSFET is carrying the full load current. During turn-off, current stops flowing in the MOSFET and is picked up by the freewheeling Schottky diode. Any parasitic inductance in the switched current path generates a large voltage spike during the switching interval. Careful component selection, tight layout of the critical components, and short, wide traces minimizes the magnitude of voltage spikes. There are two sets of critical components in the ISL8560 switching converter. The switching components are the most critical because they switch large amounts of energy, and therefore tend to generate large amounts of noise. Next are the small signal components which connect to sensitive nodes or supply critical bypass current and signal coupling.

A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure 32 shows the connections of the critical components in the converter. Note that capacitors CIN and COUT could each represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid layer, usually a middle layer of the PC board, for a ground plane and make all critical component ground connections with vias to this layer. Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and break this plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels. Keep the metal runs from the LX terminals to the output inductor short. The power plane should support the input power and output power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top and bottom circuit layers for the LX nodes. Use the remaining printed circuit layers for small signal wiring. In order to dissipate heat generated by the internal LDO and other power components, the ground pad at the bottom of the device should be connected to the ground plane through at least nine vias. This allows the heat to move away from the IC and also ties the pad to the ground plane through a low impedance path. The switching components should be placed close to the ISL8560 first. Minimize the length of the connections between the input capacitors, CIN. Make the PGND and the output capacitors as short as possible. NOTE: It is recommended that any applications with input voltage greater than 30VDC should be polymer coated to meet Intersil's IPC-2221 creepage and clearance specification.
