Triple Output, Low-Noise LDO Regulator
with Integrated Reset Circuit
The ISL6414 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), 2.84V (LDO2), and another ultra
clean 2.84V (LDO3). On chip logic provides sequencing
between LDO1 and LDO2 for BBP/MAC and 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 ISL6414 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 ISL6414 uses an internal PMOS transistor as the pass
device. The SHDN pin controls LDO1 and LDO2 outputs
whereas SHDN3 controls LDO3 output. Internal voltage
sequencing insures that LDO1 output (1.8V supply) is
always stabilized before LDO2 is turned on. When powering
down, power to the LDO2 is removed before the LDO1
output goes off. The ISL6414 also integrates RESET
function, which eliminates the need for 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 at least 25ms after VIN has
risen above the reset threshold. An output fault detection
circuit indicates loss of regulation on LDO1. Other features
include an overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown and
reverse battery protection.

Pin Descriptions
Functional Description
OUT1 - This pin is the output for LDO1. Bypass with a
minimum of 2.2F, low ESR capacitor to GND for stable
operation.
The ISL6414 is a 3-in-1 multi-output, low dropout, regulator
designed for wireless chipset power applications. It supplies
three fixed output voltages 1.8V, 2.84V and 2.84V. The 1.8V
output from LDO1 remains active down to a VIN = 2.7V
(min.), ensuring proper BBP/MAC operation. Each LDO
consists of a 1.2V reference, error amplifier, MOSFET driver,
P-Channel pass transistor, dual-mode comparator and
internal feedback voltage divider.
VIN - Supply input pins. Connect to input power source.
Bypass with 2.2F capacitor to GND. Both VIN pins must be
tied together on the PC board, close to the IC.
GND - Ground pin for LDO1 and LDO2.
CC1 - Compensation Capacitor for LDO1. Connect a
0.033µF capacitor from CC1 to GND.
SHDN - Shutdown input for LDO1 and LDO2. Connect to IN
for normal operation. Drive SHDN pin LOW to turn off LDO1
and LDO2.
OUT2 - This pin is the output for LDO2. Bypass with a
minimum of 2.2F, low ESR capacitor to GND for stable
operation.
CT - Timing pin for the RESET circuit pulse width.
CC2 - Compensation capacitor for LDO2. Connect a
0.033µF capacitor from CC2 to GND.
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 OUT1/2/3 pins.
OUT3 - This pin is output for LDO3. Bypass with a minimum
of 2.2F, low ESR capacitor to GND3 for stable operation.
Additional blocks include an output overcurrent protection,
reverse battery protection, thermal sensor, fault detector,
RESET function and shutdown logic.
GND3 - Ground pin for LDO3.
Internal P-Channel Pass Transistors
CC3 - Compensation capacitor for LDO3. Connect a
0.033µF capacitor from CC3 to GND3.
The ISL6414 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 ISL6414 does not suffer from these
problems.
SHDN3 - Shutdown input for LDO3. Connect to VIN for
normal operation. Drive SHDN3 pin LOW to turn off LDO3.
FAULT - This is the power good indicator for LDO1. When
the 1.8V output is out of regulation (>±5%, typ.), this pin
goes LOW. This pin also goes LOW during thermal
shutdown and any overcurrent event on LDO1. Connect this
pin to GND, if unused. This pin remains HIGH in the
shutdown mode, as controlled by the SHDN pin (refer to
Figure 19).
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.
RESET - This pin is the active-HIGH 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 HIGH, while the VIN pin voltage is below the
RESET threshold, and for at least 25ms, after VIN rises
above the RESET threshold.

Integrated RESET for MAC/ Baseband Processors
The ISL6414 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 push pull output stage of the reset circuit provides both
an active-Low and an active-HIGH output. This function is
guaranteed to be in the correct state for VIN down to 1V. The
reset comparator is designed to ignore transients on the VIN
pin. The RESET threshold for ISL6414 is 2.63V typical.
In addition to issuing a reset to the microprocessor during
power-up, power down and brownout conditions, this block
is relatively immune to short duration, negative-going VIN
transients/glitches.

VOUT1 = 1.8V; VOUT2 = 2.84V; VOUT3 = 2.84V.
Shutdown
Driving the SHDN input LOW puts both LDO1 and LDO2 in
shutdown mode. Driving the SHDN3 input LOW puts LDO3
in shutdown mode. Pulling the SHDN and SHDN3 pins LOW
simultaneously, puts the complete chip into shutdown mode,
and supply current drops to 5A typical. Both SHDN and
SHDN3 inputs have internal pull-up resistors, so that in
normal operation the outputs are always enabled; external
pull-up resistors are not required. During shutdown mode
using the SHDN pin, the FAULT output will remain HIGH
(refer to Figure 19).
The ISL6414 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 ISL6414’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.
Reverse Input Protection
The ISL6414 has a unique protection scheme that limits the
reverse supply current to less than 1mA when VIN falls
below GND. The circuitry monitors the polarity of these two
pins, disconnecting the internal circuitry and parasitic diodes
when the applied voltage is reversed. This feature prevents
the device from overheating and damaging an improperly
installed input supply.
Current Limit
Integrator Circuitry
The ISL6414 monitors and controls the pass transistor’s
gate voltage to limit the output current. The current limit for
LDO1 is 550mA, LDO2 is 330mA and LDO3 is 250mA. The
output can be shorted to ground without damaging the part
due to the current limit and thermal protection features.
The ISL6414 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.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection limits total power dissipation in
the ISL6414. 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
ISL6414 against fault conditions. For continuous operation,
do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature
rating of +150°C.
Operating Region and Power Dissipation
The maximum power dissipation of ISL6414 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:
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.
10
Fault-Detection Circuitry
The FAULT pin monitors LDO1 output regulation, as well as
fault conditions such as current limit and thermal shutdown.
The FAULT output goes LOW, if the LDO1 output is out of
regulation by ±5.5% (typ.). During shutdown mode using the
SHDN pin, the FAULT output will remain HIGH (refer to
Figure 19).
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability
Capacitors are required at the ISL6414’s input and output for
stable operation over the entire load range and the full
temperature range. Use >1µF capacitor at the input of
ISL6414. 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
ISL6414 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
ISL6414
50m or less to insure stability and optimum transient
response. For stable operation, a ceramic capacitor whose
value is minimum 3.3µF is recommended for VOUT1 for
300mA output current and 2.2µF 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. The output capacitor should be located very close
to VOUT pins to minimize impact of PC board inductances and
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.
In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful endof-life battery voltage. Because the ISL6414 uses a P-channel
MOSFET pass transistor, its dropout voltage is a function of
rDS(ON) (typically 0.5) multiplied by the load current.
11
Noise, PSSR and Transient Response
The ISL6414 is designed to operate with low dropout
voltages and low quiescent current while still maintaining
good noise, transient response, and AC rejection. When
operating from noisy sources, improved supply-noise
rejection and transient response can be achieved by
increasing the values of the input and output bypass
capacitors and through passive filtering techniques.
The ISL6414 load transient response graph is presented in
application note AN1080. Increasing the output capacitor
value and decreasing the ESR attenuates the overshoot.
