Intersil ISL6551ABZ Zvs full bridge pwm controller Datasheet

DATASHEET
ZVS Full Bridge PWM Controller
ISL6551
Features
The ISL6551 is a zero voltage switching (ZVS) full-bridge PWM
controller designed for isolated power systems. This part
implements a unique control algorithm for fixed-frequency ZVS
current mode control, yielding high efficiency with low EMI. The
two lower drivers are PWM controlled on the trailing edge and
employ resonant delay while the two upper drivers are driven
at a fixed 50% duty cycle.
• High speed PWM (up to 1MHz) for ZVS full bridge control
This IC integrates many features in 28 Ld SOIC package to
yield a complete and sophisticated power supply solution.
Control features include programmable soft-start for
controlled start-up, programmable resonant delay for zero
voltage switching, programmable leading edge blanking to
prevent false triggering of the PWM comparator due to the
leading edge spike of the current ramp, adjustable ramp for
slope compensation, drive signals for implementing
synchronous rectification in high output current, ultra high
efficiency applications and current share support for
paralleling up to 10 units, which helps achieve higher reliability
and availability as well as better thermal management.
Protective features include adjustable cycle-by-cycle peak
current limiting for overcurrent protection, fast short-circuit
protection (in hiccup mode), a latching shutdown input to turn
off the IC completely on output overvoltage conditions or other
extreme and undesirable faults, a non-latching enable input to
accept an enable command when monitoring the input voltage
and thermal condition of a converter and VDD undervoltage
lockout with hysteresis. Additionally, the ISL6551 includes
high current high-side and low-side totem-pole drivers to avoid
additional external drivers for moderate gate capacitance (up
to 1.6nF at 1MHz) applications, an uncommitted high
bandwidth (10MHz) error amplifier for feedback loop
compensation, a precision bandgap reference with ±1.5%
(ISL6551AB) or ±1% (ISL6551IB) tolerance across
recommended operating conditions and a ±5% “in regulation”
monitor.
In addition to the ISL6551, other external elements such as
transformers, pulse transformers, capacitors, inductors and
Schottky or synchronous rectifiers are required for a complete
power supply solution. A detailed 200W telecom power supply
reference design using the ISL6551 with companion Intersil
ICs, Supervisor and Monitor ISL6550, and Half-bridge Driver
HIP2100, is presented in application note AN1002.

FIGURE 2. DRIVE SIGNALS TIMING DIAGRAMS
Timing Diagram Descriptions
The two upper drivers (UPPER1 and UPPER2) are driven at a
fixed 50% duty cycle and the two lower drivers (LOWER1 and
LOWER2) are PWM controlled on the trailing edge, while the
leading edge employs resonant delay (t2 and t4). In current
mode control, the sensed switch (FET) current (ILOWER1 and
ILOWER2) is processed in the Ramp Adjust and Leading Edge
Blanking (LEB) circuits and then compared to a control signal
(EAO). Spikes, due to parasitic elements in the bridge circuit,
would falsely trigger the comparator generating the PWM
signal. To prevent false triggering, the leading edge of the
sensed current signal is blanked out by t1, which can be
programmed at the R_LEB pin with a resistor. Internal switches
gate the analog input to the PWM comparator, implementing
the blanking function that eliminates response degrading delays

which would be caused if filtering of the current feedback was
incorporated. The dead time (t3 and t5) is the delay to turn on
the upper FET (UPPER1/UPPER2) after its corresponding lower
FET (LOWER1/LOWER2) is turned off when the bridge is
operating at maximum duty cycle in normal conditions, or is
responding to load transients or input line dipping conditions.
Therefore, the upper and lower FETs that are located at the
same side of the bridge can never be turned on together, which
eliminates shoot-through currents. SYNC1 and SYNC2 are the
gate control signals for the output synchronous rectifiers. They are
biased by VDD and are capable of driving capacitive loads up to
20pF at 1MHz clock frequency (500kHz switching frequency).
External drivers with high current capabilities are required to drive
the synchronous rectifiers, cascading with both synchronous
signals (SYNC1 and SYNC2).

A (ON/OFF) - When the ON/OFF is pulled low, the soft-start
capacitor is discharged and all the drivers are disabled. When the
ON/OFF is released without a fault condition, a soft-start is
initiated.
B (OVERCURRENT) - If the output of the converter is over loaded,
i.e., the PKILIM is above the bandgap reference voltage (BGREF),
the soft-start capacitor is discharged very quickly and all the
drivers are turned off. Thereafter, the soft-start capacitor is
charged slowly and discharged quickly if the output is overloaded
again. The soft-start will remain in hiccup mode as long as the
overload conditions persist. Once the overload is removed, the
soft-start capacitor is charged up and the converter is then back
to normal operation.

C (LATCHING SHUTDOWN) - The IC is latched off completely as the

soft-start capacitor starts to be charged after VDD increases

Block/Pin Functional
Descriptions
• Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
- UVLO establishes an orderly start-up and verifies that VDD
is above the turn-on threshold voltage (VDDON). All the
drivers are held low during the lockout. UVLO incorporates
hysteresis VDDHYS to prevent multiple startup/shutdowns
while powering up.
- UVLO limits are not applicable to VDDP1 and VDDP2.
Detailed descriptions of each individual block in the functional
block diagram on page 5 are included in this section.
Application information and design considerations for each pin
and/or each block are also included.
• Bandgap Reference (BGREF)
- The reference voltage VREF is generated by a precision
bandgap circuit.
- This pin must be pulled up to VDD with a resistance of
approximately 399kΩ for proper operation. For additional
reference loads (no more than 1mA), this pull-up resistor
should be scaled accordingly.
- This pin must also be decoupled with an 0.1µF low ESR
ceramic capacitor.
• IC Bias Power (VDD, VDDP1, VDDP2)
- The IC is powered from a 12V ±10% supply.
- VDD supplies power to both the digital and analog circuits
and should be bypassed directly to the VSS pin with an
0.1µF low ESR ceramic capacitor.
- VDDP1 and VDDP2 are the bias supplies for the upper
drivers and the lower drivers, respectively. They should be
decoupled with ceramic capacitors to the PGND pin.
- Heavy copper should be attached to these pins for a
better heat spreading.
• Clock Generator (CT, RD)
- This free-running oscillator is set by two external
components as shown in Figure 4. A capacitor at CT is
charged and discharged with two equal constant current
sources and fed into a window comparator to set the clock
frequency. A resistor at RD sets the clock dead time. RD
and CT should be tied to the VSS pin on their other ends
as close as possible. The corresponding CT for a particular
frequency can be selected from Figure 5.
- The switching frequency (fsw) of the power train is half of
the clock frequency (Fclock), as shown in Equation 1.
• IC GNDs (VSS, PGND)
- VSS is the reference ground, the return of VDD, of all
control circuits and must be kept away from nodes with
switching noises. It should be connected to the PGND in
only one location as close to the IC as practical. For a
secondary side control system, it should be connected to
the net after the output capacitors, i.e., the output return
pinout(s). For a primary side control system, it should be
connected to the net before the input capacitors, i.e., the
input return pinout(s).
- PGND is the power return, the high-current return path of
both VDDP1 and VDDP2. It should be connected to the
SOURCE pins of two lower power switches or the RETURNs
- of external drivers as close as possible with heavy copper
traces.
- Copper planes should be attached to both pins.

FIGURE 5. CT vs FREQUENCY
- Note that the capacitance of a scope probe (~12pF for
single ended) would induce a smaller frequency at the CT
pin. It can be easily seen at a higher frequency. An
accurate operating frequency can be measured at the
outputs of the bridge/synchronous drivers.
- The dead time is the delay to turn on the upper FET
(UPPER1/UPPER2) after its corresponding lower FET
(LOWER1/LOWER2) is turned off when the bridge is
operating at maximum duty cycle in normal conditions, or
is responding to load transients or input line dipping
conditions. This helps to prevent shoot through between
the upper FET and the lower FET that are located at the
same side of the bridge. The dead time can be estimated
using Equation 2:
M  RD
DT = -------------------k

WHERE M = 11.4(VDD = 12V), 11.1(VDD = 14V) and
12(VDD = 10V) and RD is in kΩ. This relationship is shown
in Figure 6.
• Error Amplifier (EAI, EANI, EAO)
- This amplifier compares the feedback signal received at
the EAI pin to a reference signal set at the EANI pin and
provides an error signal (EAO) to the PWM Logic. The
feedback loop compensation can be programmed via
these pins.
- Both EANI and EAO are clamped by the voltage (Vclamp)
set at the CSS pin, as shown in Figure 7. Note that the
diodes in the functional block diagram represent the
clamp function of the CSS in a simplified way.
• Soft-start (CSS)
- The voltage on an external capacitor charged by an
internal current source ISS is fed into a control pin on the
error amplifier. This causes the Error Amplifier to: 1) limit
the EAO to the soft-start voltage level; and 2) over ride the
reference signal at the EANI with the soft-start voltage,
when the EANI voltage is higher than the soft-start
voltage. Thus, both the output voltage and current of the
power supply can be controlled by the soft-start.
- The clamping voltage determines the cycle-by-cycle peak
current limiting of the power supply. It should be set above
the EANI and EAO voltages and can be programmed by an
external resistor as shown in Figure 7 using Equation 3.

- Per Equation 3, the clamping voltage is a function of the
charge current Iss. For a more predictable clamping
voltage, the CSS pin can be connected to a referencebased clamp circuit as shown in Figure 8. To make the
Vclamp less dependent on the soft-start current (Iss), the
currents flowing through R1 and R2 should be scaled
much greater than Iss. The relationship of this circuit can
be found in Equation 4.

• Drivers (Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, Lower2)
- The two upper drivers are driven at a fixed 50% duty cycle
and the two lower drivers are PWM controlled on the
trailing edge while the leading edge employs resonant delay.
They are biased by VDDP1 and VDDP2, respectively.
- Each driver is capable of driving capacitive loads up to CL at
1MHz clock frequency and higher loads at lower frequencies
on a layout with high effective thermal conductivity.
- The UVLO holds all the drivers low until the VDD has reached
the turn-on threshold VDDON.
- The upper drivers require assistance of external level-shifting
circuits such as Intersil’s HIP2100 or pulse transformers to
drive the upper power switches of a bridge converter.
• Peak Current Limit (PKILIM)
- When the voltage at PKILIM exceeds the BGREF voltage, the
gate pulses are terminated and held low until the next clock
cycle. The peak current limit circuit has a high-speed loop
with propagation delay IpkDel. Peak current shutdown
initiates a soft-start sequence.
- The peak current shutdown threshold is usually set slightly
higher than the normal cycle-by-cycle PWM peak current
limit (Vclamp) and therefore will normally only be activated
in a short-circuit condition. The limit can be set with a resistor
(EQ. 7)
• Latching Shutdown (LATSD)
- A high TTL level on LATSD latches the IC off. The IC goes into
a low power mode and is reset only after the power at the
VDD pin is removed completely. The ON/OFF cannot reset
the latch.
- This pin can be used to latch the power supply off on output
overvoltage or other undesired conditions.
• ON/OFF (ON/OFF)
- A high standard TTL input (safe also for VDD level) signals the
controller to turn on. A low TTL input turns off the controller
and terminates all drive signals including the SYNC outputs.
The soft-start is reset.
- This pin is a non-latching input and can accept an enable
command when monitoring the input voltage and the
thermal condition of a converter.
• Resonant Delay (R_RESDLY)
- A resistor tied between R_RESDLY and VSS determines the
delay that is required to turn on a lower FET after its
corresponding upper FET is turned off. This is the resonant
delay, which can be estimated with Equation 8.
(EQ. 8)
tRESDLY = 4.01 x R_RESDLY/k + 13 (ns)
- Figure 10 illustrates the relationship of the value of the
resistor (R_RESDLY) and the resonant delay (tRESDLY). The

• Leading Edge Blanking (R_LEB)
- In current mode control, the sensed switch (FET) current is
processed in the Ramp Adjust and LEB circuits and then
compared to a control signal (EAO voltage). Spikes, due to
parasitic elements in the bridge circuit, would falsely trigger
the comparator generating the PWM signal. To prevent false
triggering, the leading edge of the sensed current signal is
blanked out by a period that can be programmed with the
R_LEB resistor. Internal switches gate the analog input to the
PWM comparator, implementing the blanking function that
eliminates response degrading delays, which would be
caused if filtering of the current feedback was incorporated.
The current ramp is blanked out during the resonant delay
period because no switching occurs in the lower FETs. The
leading edge blanking function will not be activated until the
soft-start (CSS) reaches over 400mV, as illustrated in
Figures 7 and 12. The leading edge blanking (LEB) function
can be disabled by tying the R_LEB pin to VDD, i.e., LEB = 1.
Never leave the pin floating.
- The blanking time can be estimated with Equation 9, whose
relationship can be seen in Figure 11. The percentages in
the figure are the tolerances at the two endpoints of the
curve.

synchronous rectifiers. When using these drive schemes,
the user should understand the issues that might occur in
his/her applications, especially the impacts on current
share operation and light load operation. Refer to
application note AN1002 for more details.
- External high current drivers controlled by the
synchronous signals are required to drive the synchronous
rectifiers. A pulse transformer is required to pass the drive
signals to the secondary side if the IC is used in a primary
control system.
• Ramp Adjust (R_RA, ISENSE)
- The ramp adjust block adds an offset component
(200mV) and a slope adjust component to the ISENSE
signal before processing it at the PWM Logic block, as
shown in Figure 12. This ensures that the ramp voltage is
always higher than the OAGS (ground sensing opamp)
minimum voltage to achieve a “zero” state.
- It is critical that the input signal to ISENSE decays to zero
prior to or during the clock dead time. The level-shifting
and capacitive summing circuits in the RAMP ADJUST
block are reset during the dead time. Any input signal
transitions that occur after the rising edge of CLK and
prior to the rising edge of RESDLY can cause severe errors
in the signal reaching the PWM comparator.
- Typical ramp values are hundreds of mV over the period
on a 3V full scale current. Too much ramp makes the
controller look like a voltage mode PWM and too little
ramp leads to noise issues (jitter). The amount of ramp
(Vramp), as shown in Figure 12, is programmed with the
R_RA resistor and can be calculated with Equation 10.
Vramp = BGREF x dt /(R_RA x 500E-12) (V)
• Share Support (SHARE, CS_COMP)
- The unit with the highest reference is the master. Other
units, as slaves, adjust their references via a source
resistor to match the master reference sharing the load
current. The source resistor is typically 1kΩ connecting
the EANI pin and the OUTPUT REFERENCE (external
reference or BGREF), as shown in Figure 13. The share
bus represents a 30kΩ resistive load per unit, up to 10
units.
- The output (ADJ) of “Operational Transconductance
Amplifier (OTA)” can only pull high and it is floating while
in master mode. This ensures that no current is sourced to
the OUTPUT REFERENCE when the IC is working by itself.
- The slave units attempt to drive their error amplifier
voltage to be within a predetermined offset (30mV
typical) of the master error voltage (the share bus). The
current-share error is nominally (30mV/EAO)*100%
assuming no other source of error. With a 2.5V full load
error amp voltage, the current-share error at full load
would be -1.2% (slaves relative to master).
- The bandwidth of the current sharing loop should be
much lower than that of the voltage loop to eliminate
noise pickup and interactions between the voltage
regulation loop and the current loop. A 0.1µF capacitor is
recommended between CS_COMP and VSS pins to
achieve a low current sharing loop bandwidth (100Hz to
500Hz).
(EQ. 10)
Where dt = Duty Cycle / fSW - tLEB (s). Duty cycle is
discussed in detail in application note AN1002.
- The voltage representation of the current flowing
through the power train at ISENSE pin is normally scaled
such that the desired peak current is less than or equal
to Vclamp-200mV-Vramp, where the clamping voltage is
set at the CSS pin.
• SYNC Outputs (SYNC1, SYNC2)
- SYNC1 and SYNC2 are the gate control signals for the
output synchronous rectifiers. They are biased by VDD and
are capable of driving capacitive loads up to 20pF at
1MHz clock frequency (500kHz switching frequency).
These outputs are turned off sooner than the turn-off at
UPPER1 and UPPER2 by the clock dead time, DT.
- Inverting both SYNC signals or both LOWER signals is
another possible way to control the drivers of the

- DCOK pin is an open-drain output capable of sinking 5mA.
It is low when the output voltage is within the UVOV
window. The static regulation limit is ±3%, while the ±5%
is the dynamic regulation limit. It indicates power-good
when the EAI is within -3% to +5% on the rising edge and
within +3% to -5%on the falling edge, as shown in

- The DCOK comparator might not be triggered even though
the output voltage exceeds ±5% limits at load transients.
This is because the feedback network of the error amplifier
filters out part of the transients and the EAI only sees the
remaining portion that is still within the limits, as illustrated
in Figure 15. The lower the “zero (1/RC)” of the error
amplifier, the larger the portion of the transient is filtered
out.

ISL6551
Figure 16 shows the block diagram of a power supply system
employing the ISL6551 full bridge controller. The ISL6551 not
only is a full bridge PWM controller but also can be used as a
push-pull PWM controller. Users can design a power supply by
selecting appropriate blocks in the “System Blocks Chart” based
on the power system requirements. Figures 17A, 18A, 19A, 20A,
21A, 22A, 23, 24A, 25, 26A and 28A have been used in the
200W telecom power supply reference design, which can be
found in the application note AN1002. To meet the specifications
of the power supply, minor modifications of each block are
required. To take full advantage of the integrated features of the
ISL6551, “secondary side control” is recommended.

FIGURE 17. INPUT FILTERS
General- Input capacitors are required to absorb the power
switch (FET) pulsating currents.
EMI- For good EMI performance, the ripple current that is
reflected back to the input line can be reduced by an input
L-C filter, which filters the differential-mode noises and
operates at two times the switching frequency, i.e., the clock
frequency (Fclock). In some cases, an additional
common-mode choke might be required to filter the commonmode noises.

Two-leg Sense- Senses the current that flows through both lower
primary FETs. Operates at the switching frequency.
Top Sense- Senses the sum of the current that flows through both
upper primary FETs. Operates at the clock frequency.
Resistor Sense- This simple scheme is used in a primary side
control system. The sum of the current that flows through both
lower primary FETs is sensed with a low impedance power
resistor. The sources of Q3 and Q4 and ISENSE should be tied at
the same point as close as possible.
DCM Flyback- Use a PWM controller to develop both primary
and secondary biases with discontinuous current mode
flyback topology
Full Bridge- Four MOSFETs are required for full bridge
converters. The drain-to-source voltage rating of the MOSFETs
is VIN.
Push-pull- Only the two lower MOSFETs are required for
push-pull converters. The two upper drivers are not used. The
VDS of the MOSFETs is 2xVIN.
BIASES
Linear Regulator- In a primary side control system, a linear
regulator derived from the input line can be used for the
start-up purpose and an extra winding coupled with the main
transformer can provide the controller power after the start
up.

solution. Over-temperature protection and input undervoltage
lockout can be added for better system protection and

Inverting Drivers- Inverting the SYNC signals or the LOWER
signals with external high current drivers to drive the
synchronous FETs.
Primary Control- This requires a pulse transformer, operating
at the switching frequency, for isolation. There are three
options to drive the synchronous FETs, as described in previous
lines.
Noninverting Drivers- Cascading SYNC signals with
noninverting high current drivers to drive the synchronous
FETs. There is a dead time between SYNC1 and SYNC2. For a
higher efficiency, Schottky diodes are normally in parallel with
the synchronous FETs to reduce the conduction losses during
the dead time in high output current applications.
