Introduction
Intersil’s ISL6558 and ISL6609
The changing computer performance landscape has brought
about the need for flexible power solutions. Peripheral
performance continues to increase as higher speed bus
interfaces are made available. Router designs continue to
grow in complexity as on-board processors perform more
functions within a limited board space while continuing to
increase the speed of data transfer. This places higher
power density requirements on the DC/DC converters which
supply them.
The ISL6558 controller, coupled with ISL6609 singlechannel driver ICs, forms the basic building blocks for
applications which demand high current, rapid load transient
response, and high efficiency performance at high switching
frequency within a limited board area and height.
Intersil’s Endura™ multi-phase controllers (HIP63xx and
ISL65xx) and synchronous-rectified buck MOSFET drivers
(HIP66xx and ISL66xx) are suitable for the interleaved
DC/DC buck converter implementation, as shown in
Figure 1, and provide superior performance solutions with
their space economical MLFP packages.

This application note first gives a brief introduction of
Intersil’s four-phase controller ISL6558 and synchronousrectified driver ISL6609. A summary of the ISL6558 and
ISL6609 based design follows. The experimental results for
a low-profile 5V-to-1.35V@30A, 500kHz, and 90% efficiency
converter in two-phase operation using the interleaved
approach and with their space economical MLFP package
ICs are discussed. The evaluation board can be pushed up
to 80A in four-phase operation, or modified for 12V input
applications by replacing the input capacitors with higher
voltage rating capacitors. Term Definitions, Reference,
Schematics, Bill of Materials, and Layout are included at the
end of this application note.
1
The ISL6558 regulates output voltage and balances load
currents for two to four synchronous-rectified buck converter
channels; its internal structure is shown in Figure 2. The
internal 0.8V reference allows output voltage selection down
to that level with a 1% system accuracy over temperature.
The current-channel balance loop provides good thermal
balance among all phases. Output voltage droop or active
voltage positioning is optional. Overvoltage and overcurrent
monitors and protection functions of the IC provide a safe
environment for the microprocessor or other load. The
controller is available in a 16-lead SOIC package and a
5x5mm2 20-lead MLFP package with some space savings.
For more detailed descriptions of the ISL6558 functionality,
refer to the device datasheet [1].
The ISL6609 is a 5V driver IC capable of delivering up to 4A
of gate current for rapidly switching both MOSFETs in a
synchronous-rectified bridge; its internal structure is shown
in Figure 2. It is especially designed for voltage regulators
that require high efficiency performance at high switching
frequency within a limited board space. The ISL6609
accepts a single logic input to control both upper and lower
MOSFETs. Its Tri-State® feature, working together with
Intersil’s Multi-Phase PWM controllers, helps prevent a
negative transient on the output voltage when the output is
being shut down. This eliminates the Schottky diode that is
used in some systems for protecting the microprocessor
from reversed-output-voltage damage. Furthermore,
adaptive shoot-through protection is implemented on both
switching edges to provide optimal dead time and minimize
conduction losses. Bootstrap circuitry permits greater
enhancement of the upper MOSFET. The driver is available
in a 8-lead SOIC package and a space economical 3x3mm2
8-lead MLFP package. For a more detailed description of the
ISL6609, refer to the device data sheet [2].

ISL6558EVAL2 OPERATION AND MODIFICATION TIPS
• Apply the input voltage (VIN) prior to the control voltage
VCC5 (5V). This sequencing results in initializing the
ISL6609 driver before the ISL6558 starts, and retains the
soft-start interval. Vice versa, the ISL6558 could produce
maximum duty cycle PWM drive signal, which results in an
overcurrent or overvoltage trip due to lack of soft-start.
The evaluation board is configured to power up from a
single 5V supply, and it eliminates the problem discussed
above.
• SW1 is used to engage or remove the load transient
generator.
• Droop option is not selected in the reference design since
the required load transient step is not greater than 50% of
the full load. In another word, the droop only helps reduce
the number of output capacitors and still retains the same
transient performance when the load transient step is
greater than 50% of full load.
• For 3-phase operation, add the current sense resistor R17
and place JP4 to ON position (away from TP8). The
compensation gain (R11) should be scaled by 2/3 for
system stability with a reasonable phase margin.
• For 4-phase operation, add the current sense resistors R2
& R17 and place JP4 &JP2 to ON position (away from
TP8 and TP5). The compensation gain (R11) should be
scaled by 1/2 for system stability with a reasonable phase
margin.
• If there is sufficient airflow, use a single LPAK Hitachi
HAT1264 for the upper FET and two SO-8 Siliconix
Si4842DYs for the lower FETs in each channel; but it
comes with the penalty of 1% lower efficiency, as shown in
Table 5. Note that the current sense resistors (R2 and
R17) need to be adjusted to get a proper over current
setpoint.
• For 12V input operation, the jumper JP1 should be
removed to prevent the controller and drivers from
overvoltage damage. A 5V supply is required to power up
the controller and the drivers; the diode D1 is to protect
both the drivers and controller from reversed-bias
damage. The 12V supply should be applied prior to the
5V; otherwise, the output voltage will lack soft-start and
cause an over overcurrent or overvoltage at the output.
Furthermore, the input capacitors should be replaced with
higher voltage rating (16V or above) capacitors. In
addition, the compensation gain (R11) should be scaled
by 5/12 for system stability with a reasonable phase
margin.
• Any change of the output filter will require the
compensation network to change for an optimum transient
response. If very lower ESR capacitors are used at the
output, a type III compensation network is required to
boost up the phase for a better transient performance.
• The feedback resistor (R19) can cause some delay in the
soft-start interval, as discussed in the ISL6557A data
sheet section SOFT-START [3]. It should not be a very
high impedance resistor.
EFFICIENCY
The efficiency data, as plotted in Figure 3, are taken with a
PAPST-MOTOREN TYP 4600X fan turned on 8” away from
the input end of the evaluation board at room temperature
(approximate 200LFM). This figure shows that the converter
operates less efficiently at high line and low-to-medium load
since the switching loss is the dominant portion of the total
losses in that operating condition. As the load increases, the
dominant conduction losses help cut down the difference.

As shown in Figure 6, the converter is disabled when the
control voltage (VCC5) is pulled below the POR falling
threshold (3.88V nominal) of the ISL6558. The PGOOD
signal falls low indicating the output voltage is out of
regulation. The ISL6609 enters Tri-State® and holds both
upper and lower drive signals low. The L-C resonant tank is
broken and cannot cause negative ringing at the output
since the lower FETs are turned off, blocking any negative
current.

OUTPUT SOFT-START AND TURN-OFF
As the control voltage VCC5 reaches the POR rising
threshold (4.38V nominal) of the ISL6558, the FS/EN pin is
released from ground; the output begins a monotonic rise
comprised of 2048 digital steps, as shown in Figure 4. At the
end of the soft-start interval, the PGOOD signal transitions to
indicate the output voltage is within specification.
PGOOD
FIGURE 6. TURN-OFF WAVEFORMS
TRANSIENT RESPONSES
A transient load generator is populated on the board to
evaluate the response of the converter at high-speed load
transients. Current setting of the generator provides about
6.5A load step with 160A/µs on the rising edge and 210A/µs
on the falling edge without output droop configuration.
The input current rises/falls at a speed limited by the input
inductor and capacitors during step-up/step-down transients.
Figure 7 shows a very low ramping up speed (0.02A/µs) of
the input current at the load transient condition. This is due
to a large effective input inductance seen by the converter.
The effective input inductance is the sum of the on-board
input inductance and the inductance of the long source leads
of the bench power supply.
The transient performance at different operating conditions
has been summarized in Table 6. Little difference is noted for
various line and load conditions. Note that the ripple portion
has been included.

OVER CURRENT AND SHORT CIRCUIT
OVERVOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
When the converter is momentarily shorted or overloaded,
as shown in Figure 13, the converter enters hiccup mode
with a narrow duty cycle and long switching period. PGOOD
stays low during the overcurrent period; it indicates the
output voltage is within regulation limits after the short is
removed and the output completes a soft-start interval.
With the COMP pin momentarily tied to a 4V voltage source
with respect to the ground, the error voltage jumps high and
the duty cycle increases. Thus, the output voltage rises up
immediately until it reaches the overvoltage threshold setting
the OV latch and triggers the PWM outputs low. PGOOD is
pulled low indicating output out of regulation, as shown in
Figure 15.
As shown in Figure 14, the converter can sustain a
permanent short circuit remaining in hiccup mode with a
frequency of 185Hz. The average load current and the
average power dissipation in each power component are
reduced significantly; thus, the converter can stay at a short
without causing any permanent damage or thermal issues.

The superior performance of Intersil’s ISL6558 four-phase

demonstrated in the low-profile reference design of a 40W,
500kHz interleaved DC/DC buck converter. An ultra high
efficiency of 90% at 1.35V output and 30A full load has been
achieved.
The extensive experimental results give users a better
