Triple Output, Low-Noise LDO Regulator
with Integrated Reset Circuit
The ISL6412 is an ultra low noise triple output LDO regulator
with microprocessor reset circuit and is optimized for
powering wireless chip sets. The IC accepts an input voltage
range of 3.0V to 3.6V and provides three regulated output
voltages: 1.8V (LDO1), 2.8V (LDO2), and another ultra-clean
2.8V (LDO3). On chip logic provides sequencing between
LDO1 and LDO2 for the BBP/MAC and the I/O supply
voltage outputs. LDO3 features ultra low noise that does not
typically exceed 30µV RMS to aid VCO stability. High
integration and the thin Quad Flat No-lead (QFN) package
makes the ISL6412 an ideal choice to power many of today’s
small form factor industry standard wireless cards such as
PCMCIA, mini-PCI and Cardbus-32.
The ISL6412 uses an internal PMOS transistor as the pass
device. The ISL6412 also integrates a reset function, which
eliminates the need for the additional reset IC required in
WLAN applications. The IC asserts a RESET signal
whenever the VIN supply voltage drops below a preset
threshold, keeping it asserted for a time set by a capacitor to
GND after VIN has risen above the reset threshold. FAULT1
indicates the loss of regulation on LDO1.

pin also goes LOW during thermal shutdown or an
overcurrent event on LDO1. Connect this pin to GND, if
unused.
The voltage at the CT pin is compared to the 1.2V bandgap
voltage. The charging of the CT capacitor behaves like an
RC network and the RESET delay can be approximated by:
RESET - This pin is the active-LOW output of the push-pull
output stage of the integrated reset supervisory circuit. The
reset circuit monitors VIN and asserts a RESET output at this
pin, if VIN falls below the RESET threshold. The RESET
output remains LOW, while the VIN pin voltage is below the
reset threshold, and for at least 25ms, after VIN rises above
the RESET threshold.
Td = -R*C*ln(1-1.2V/VIN)
Where C is the capacitor at CT, and R is 11.1M for
VIN = 3.3V. With no capacitor on the CT pin the RESET
delay will be close to zero. Figure 12 shows the RESET
delay vs CT capacitance.

Functional Description
The 1.2V band gap reference is connected to the error
amplifier’s inverting input. The error amplifier compares this
reference to the selected feedback voltage and amplifies the
difference. The MOSFET driver reads the error signal and
applies the appropriate drive to the P-Channel pass transistor.
If the feedback voltage is lower then the reference voltage, the
pass transistor gate is pulled lower, allowing more current to
pass and increasing the output voltage. If the feedback
voltage is higher then the reference voltage, the pass
transistor gate is driven higher, allowing less current to pass to
the output. The output voltage is fed back through an internal
resistor divider connected to OUT1/OUT2/OUT3 pins.
Additional blocks include an output overcurrent protection,
thermal sensor, fault detector, RESET function and
shutdown logic.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistors
The ISL6412 features a typical 0.5 rDS(ON) P-channel
MOSFET pass transistors. This provides several advantages
over similar designs using PNP bipolar pass transistors. The
P-Channel MOSFET requires no base drive, which reduces
quiescent current considerably. PNP based regulators waste
considerable current in dropout when the pass transistor
saturates. They also use high base drive currents under
large loads. The ISL6412 does not suffer from these
problems.
DELAY (ms)
The ISL6412 is a 3-in-1 multi-output, low dropout, regulator
designed for wireless chipset power applications. It supplies
three fixed output voltages 1.8V, 2.8V and 2.8V. Each LDO
consists of a 1.2V reference, error amplifier, MOSFET driver,
P-Channel pass transistor, dual-mode comparator and
internal feedback voltage divider.

Output Voltages
The ISL6412 provides fixed output voltages for use in
Wireless Chipset applications. Internal trimmed resistor
networks set the typical output voltages as shown here:
VOUT1 = 1.8V; VOUT2 = 2.8V; VOUT3 = 2.8V.
Shutdown
Pulling the SHDN pin LOW puts the complete chip into
shutdown mode, and supply current drops to 5A typical.
This input has an internal pull-up resistor, so that in normal
operation the outputs are always enabled; external pull-up
resistors are not required.
Current Limit
The ISL6412 monitors and controls the pass transistor’s
gate voltage to limit the output current. The current limit for
LDO1 is 500mA, LDO2 is 330mA and LDO3 is 300mA. The
output can be shorted to ground without damaging the part
due to the current limit and thermal protection features.
Integrated Reset for MAC/Baseband Processors
The ISL6412 includes a microprocessor supervisory block.
This block eliminates the extra reset IC and external
components needed in wireless chipset applications. This
block performs a single function; it asserts a RESET signal
whenever the VIN supply voltage decreases below a preset
threshold, keeping it asserted for a programmable time (set
by external capacitor CT) after the VIN pin voltage has risen
above the reset threshold. The reset threshold for the
ISL6412 is 2.63V typical.

Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection limits total power dissipation in
the ISL6412. When the junction temperature (TJ) exceeds
+150°C, the thermal sensor sends a signal to the shutdown
logic, turning off the pass transistor and allowing the IC to
cool. The pass transistor turns on again after the IC’s
junction temperature typically cools by 20°C, resulting in a
pulsed output during continuous thermal overload
conditions. Thermal overload protection protects the
ISL6412 against fault conditions. For continuous operation,
do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature
rating of +150°C.

Operating Region and Power Dissipation

L
The maximum power dissipation of ISL6412 depends on the
thermal resistance of the IC package and circuit board, the
temperature difference between the die junction and ambient
air, and the rate of air flow. The power dissipated in the
device is:
Overcurrent only on LDO2/LDO3
H
PT = P1 + P2 + P3, where
P1 = IOUT1 (VIN – VOUT1)
P2 = IOUT2 (VIN – VOUT2)
P3 = IOUT3 (VIN- VOUT3)
The maximum power dissipation is:
Pmax = (Tjmax – TA)/JA
Where Tjmax = +150°C, TA = ambient temperature, and JA
is the thermal resistance from the junction to the surrounding
environment.
The ISL6412 package features an exposed thermal pad on
its underside. This pad lowers the thermal resistance of the
package by providing a direct heat conduction path from the
die to the PC board. Additionally, the ISL6412’s ground
(GND/GND3) performs the dual function of providing an
electrical connection to system ground and channeling heat
away. Connect the exposed backside pad and GND to the
system ground using a large pad or ground plane, or through
multiple vias to the ground plane layer.
Integrator Circuitry
The ISL6412 uses an external 33nF compensation capacitor
for minimizing load and line regulation errors and for
lowering output noise. When the output voltage shifts due to
varying load current or input voltage, the integrator capacitor
voltage is raised or lowered to compensate for the
systematic offset at the error amplifier. Compensation is
limited to ±5% to minimize transient overshoot when the
device goes out of dropout, current limit, or thermal
shutdown.

Capacitors are required at the ISL6412’s input and output for
stable operation over the entire load range and the full
temperature range. Use >1µF capacitor at the input of
ISL6412. The input capacitor lowers the source impedance
of the input supply. Larger capacitor values and lower ESR
provides better PSRR and line transient response. The input
capacitor must be located at a distance of not more then 0.5
inches from the VIN pins of the IC and returned to a clean
analog ground. Any good quality ceramic or tantalum can be
used as an input capacitor.
The output capacitor must meet the requirements of
minimum amount of capacitance and ESR for all three
LDO’s. The ISL6412 is specifically designed to work with
small ceramic output capacitors. The output capacitor’s ESR
affects stability and output noise. Use an output capacitor
with an ESR of 50m or less to insure stability and optimum
transient response. For stable operation, a ceramic
capacitor, with a minimum value of 3.3F, is recommended
for VOUT1 for 300mA output current, and 2.2F is
recommended for VOUT2 and VOUT3 each at 200mA load
current. There is no upper limit to the output capacitor value.
Larger capacitor can reduce noise and improve load
transient response, stability and PSRR. Higher value of
output capacitor (10µF) is recommended for LDO3 when
used to power VCO circuitry in wireless chipsets. The output
capacitor should be located very close to VOUT pins to
minimize impact of PC board inductances and the other end
of the capacitor should be returned to a clean analog
ground.
Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage
A regulator’s minimum input-output voltage differential (or
dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply
voltage. Because the ISL6412 uses a P-channel MOSFET
pass transistor, its dropout voltage is a function of rDS(ON)
(typically 0.5) multiplied by the load current.
