ACPI Regulator/Controller for Dual Channel DDR Memory Systems
The ISL6548A provides a complete ACPI compliant power
solution for up to 4 DIMM dual channel DDR/DDR2 Memory
systems. Included are both a synchronous buck controller to
supply VDDQ during S0/S1 and S3 states. During S0/S1
state, a fully integrated sink-source regulator generates an
accurate (VDDQ/2) high current VTT voltage without the
need for a negative supply. A second PWM controller, which
requires external MOSFET drivers, is available for regulation
of the GMCH Core voltage. A sink/source LDO controller is
also integrated for the CPU/GMCH VTT termination voltage
regulation. Another LDO is available for the ICH7 voltage.
The switching PWM controller drives two N-Channel
MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck converter
topology. The synchronous buck converter uses voltagemode control with fast transient response. The switching
regulator provides a maximum static regulation tolerance of
2% over line, load, and temperature ranges. The output is
user-adjustable by means of external resistors down to 0.8V.
An integrated soft-start feature brings all outputs into
regulation in a controlled manner when returning to S0/S1
state from any sleep state. During S0 the VIDPGD signal
indicates that the GMCH and CPU VTT termination voltage
is within spec and operational.
All outputs, except VICH7, have undervoltage protection. The
switching regulator also has overvoltage and overcurrent
protection. Thermal shutdown is integrated.

Functional Pin Description
5VSBY (Pin 1)
5VSBY is the bias supply of the ISL6548A. It is typically
connected to the 5V standby rail of an ATX power supply.
During S4/S5 sleep states the ISL6548A enters a reduced
power mode and draws less than 1mA (ICC_S5) from the
5VSBY supply. The supply to 5VSBY should be locally
bypassed using a 0.1F capacitor.
FN9189 Rev 2.00
January 3, 2006
P12V (Pin 3)
The VTT regulation circuit and the Linear Drivers are
powered by P12V. P12V is not required during S3/S4/S5
operation. P12V is typically connected to the +12V rail of an
ATX power supply.
GND (Pins 4, 27, 29)
The GND terminals of the ISL6548A provide the return path
for the VTT LDO, and switching MOSFET gate drivers. High
ground currents are conducted directly through the exposed
paddle of the QFN package which must be electrically
connected to the ground plane through a path as low in
inductance as possible.

ISL6548A
UGATE (Pin 26)
DDR_VTT (Pins 5, 6)
Connect this pin to the upper MOSFET’s gate. This pin
provides the PWM-controlled gate drive for the upper
MOSFET. This pin is also monitored by the adaptive shootthrough protection circuitry to determine when the upper
MOSFET has turned off. Do not insert any circuitry between
this pin and the gate of the upper MOSFET, as it may
interfere with the internal adaptive shoot-through protection
circuitry and render it ineffective.
The DDR_VTT pins should be connect externally together.
During S0/S1 states, the DDR_VTT pins serve as the
outputs of the VTT linear regulator. During S3 state, the VTT
regulator is disabled.
LGATE (Pin 28)
Connect this pin to the lower MOSFET’s gate. This pin
provides the PWM-controlled gate drive for the lower
MOSFET. This pin is also monitored by the adaptive shootthrough protection circuitry to determine when the lower
MOSFET has turned off. Do not insert any circuitry between
this pin and the gate of the lower MOSFET, as it may
interfere with the internal adaptive shoot-through protection
circuitry and render it ineffective.
FB (Pin 15) and COMP (Pin 16)
The VDDQ switching regulator employs a single voltage
control loop. FB is the negative input to the voltage loop error
amplifier. The VDDQ output voltage is set by an external
resistor divider connected to FB. With a properly selected
divider, VDDQ can be set to any voltage between the power
rail (reduced by converter losses) and the 0.8V reference.
Loop compensation is achieved by connecting an AC
network across COMP and FB.
The FB pin is also monitored for under and overvoltage
events.
PHASE (Pin 24)
Connect this pin to the upper MOSFET’s source. This pin is
used to monitor the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET
for overcurrent protection.
OCSET (Pin 22)
Connect a resistor (ROCSET) from this pin to the drain of the
upper MOSFET. ROCSET, an internal 20A current source
(IOCSET), and the upper MOSFET on-resistance (rDS(ON))
set the converter overcurrent (OC) trip point according to the
following equation:
I OCSET xR OCSET
I PEAK = ------------------------------------------------r DS  ON 
An overcurrent trip cycles the soft-start function.
VDDQ (Pins 7, 8)
The VDDQ pins should be connected externally together to
the regulated VDDQ output. During S0/S1 states, the VDDQ
pins serve as inputs to the VTT regulator and to the VTT
Reference precision divider.
FN9189 Rev 2.00
January 3, 2006
DDR_VTTSNS (Pin 9)
VTTSNS is used as the feedback for control of the VTT linear
regulator. Connect this pin to the VTT output at the physical
point of desired regulation.
VREF_IN (Pin 14)
A capacitor, CSS, connected between VREF_IN and ground
is required. This capacitor and the parallel combination of
the Upper and Lower Divider Impedance (RU||RL), sets the
time constant for the start up ramp when transitioning from
S3/S4/S5 to S0/S1/S2.
The minimum value for CSS can be found through the
following equation:
C VTTOUT  V DDQ
C SS  -----------------------------------------------10  2A  R U  R L
The calculated capacitance, CSS, will charge the output
capacitor bank on the VTT rail in a controlled manner without
reaching the current limit of the VTT LDO.
BOOT (Pin 25)
This pin provides ground referenced bias voltage to the
upper MOSFET driver. A bootstrap circuit is used to create a
voltage suitable to drive a logic-level N-channel MOSFET.
PWM4 (Pin 19)
This pin provides the PWM output for the GMCH core
switching regulator. Connect this pin to the PWM input of an
Intersil MOSFET driver.
FB4 (Pin 18) and COMP4 (Pin 17)
The GMCH core switching regulator employs a single
voltage control loop. FB4 is the negative input to the voltage
loop error amplifier. The GMCH core output voltage is set by
an external resistor divider connected to FB4. With a
properly selected divider, VGMCH can be set to any voltage
between the power rail (reduced by converter losses) and
the 0.8V reference. Loop compensation is achieved by
connecting an AC network across COMP4 and FB4.
The FB4 pin is also monitored for undervoltage events.
FB2 (Pin 11)
Connect the output of the VTT_GMCH/CPU linear regulator to
this pin through a properly sized resistor divider. The voltage
at this pin is regulated to 0.8V. This pin is monitored for
undervoltage events.
Page 7 of 16
ISL6548A
DRIVE2_U (Pin 10)
Initialization
This pin provides the gate voltage for the VTT_GMCH/CPU
linear regulator upper pass transistor. Connect this pin to the
gate terminal of an external N-Channel MOSFET transistor.
The ISL6548A automatically initializes upon receipt of input
power. Special sequencing of the input supplies is not
necessary. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually
monitors the input bias supply voltages. The POR monitors
the bias voltage at the 5VSBY and P12V pins. The POR
function initiates soft-start operation after the bias supply
voltages exceed their POR thresholds.
DRIVE2_L (Pin 13)
This pin provides the gate voltage for the VTT_GMCH/CPU
linear regulator lower pass transistor. Connect this pin to the
gate terminal of an external N-Channel MOSFET transistor.
FB3 (Pin 20)
Connect the output of the ICH7 linear regulator to this pin
through a properly sized resistor divider. The voltage at this
pin is regulated to 0.8V.
DRIVE3 (Pin 21)
This pin provides the gate voltage for the ICH7 linear
regulator pass transistor. Connect this pin to the gate
terminal of an external N-Channel MOSFET transistor.
VIDPGD (Pin 12)
The VIDPGD pin is an open-drain logic output that changes
to a logic low if the VTT_GMCH/CPU linear regulator is out of
regulation in S0/S1/S2 state. VIDPGD will always be low in
any state other than S0/S1/S2.
SLP_S5# (Pin 23)
This pin accepts the SLP_S5# sleep state signal.
SLP_S3# (Pin 2)
This pin accepts the SLP_S3# sleep state signal.
Functional Description
Overview
The ISL6548A provides complete control, drive, protection
and ACPI compliance for a regulator powering DDR memory
systems and the GMCH core and GMCH/CPU termination
rails. It is primarily designed for computer applications
powered from an ATX power supply.
A 250kHz Synchronous Buck Regulator with a precision
0.8V reference provides the proper Core voltage to the
system memory of the computer. An internal LDO regulator,
with the ability to both sink and source current, tracks the
VDDQ output by 50% and provides the VTT termination
voltage.
A second 250kHz PWM Buck regulator, which requires an
external MOSFET driver, provides the GMCH core voltage.
This PWM regulator is 180° out of phase with the PWM
regulator used for the Memory core. Two additional LDO
controllers are included, one for the regulation of the
GMCH/CPU termination rail and the second for the ICH7
LDO.
ACPI compliance is realized through the SLP_S3 and
SLP_S5 sleep signals and through monitoring of the 12V
ATX bus.

ACPI State Transitions
Figure 1 shows how the individual regulators are controlled
during all state transitions. All references to timing in this
section are in reference to Figure 1.
Cold Start (S4/S5 to S0 Transition)
At the onset of a mechanical start, time t0 in Figure 1, the
ISL6548A receives its bias voltage from the 5V Standby bus
(5VSBY). Once the 5VSBY rail has exceeded the POR
threshold, the ISL6548A will remain in an internal S5 state
until both the SLP_S3 and SLP_S5 signal have transitioned
high and the 12V POR threshold has been exceeded by the
+12V rail from the ATX, which occurs at time t1.
Once all of these conditions are met, the PWM error
amplifiers will first be reset by internally shorting the COMP
pins to the respective FB pins. This reset lasts for three softstart cycles, which is typically 24ms (one soft-start cycle is
typically 8.2ms). The digital soft-start sequence will then
begin. Each regulator is enabled and soft-started according
to a preset sequence.
At time t2, the 3 soft-start cycle reset has ended and the
VDDQ_DDR rail is digitally soft-started.
The digital soft-start for both PWM regulators is accomplished
by clamping the error amplifier reference input to a level
proportional to the internal digital soft-start voltage. As the softstart voltage slews up, the PWM comparator generates PHASE
pulses of increasing width that charge the output capacitor(s).
This method provides a rapid and controlled output voltage rise.
The linear regulators, with the exception of the internal
VTT_DDR LDO, are soft-started in a similar manner. The
error amplifier is reference is clamped to the internal digital
soft-start voltage. As the soft-start voltage ramps up, the
respective DRIVE pin voltages increase, thus enhancing the
N-MOSFETs and charging the output capacitors in a
controlled manner.
At time t3, the VDDQ_DDR rail is in regulation and the
VGMCH rail is soft-started. At time t4, the VGMCH rail is in
regulation and the VTT_GMCH/CPU and the ICH7 linear
regulators are soft-started. At time t5, the VTT_GMCH/CPU
rail and ICH7 rails are in regulation and the VTT_DDR
internal regulator is soft-started.
The VTT_DDR LDO soft-starts in a manner unlike the other
regulators. When the VTT_DDR regulator is disabled, the
reference is internally shorted to the VTT_DDR output. This

ISL6548A
allows the termination voltage to float during the S3 sleep
state. When the ISL6548A enables the VTT_DDR regulator
or enters S0 state from a sleep state, this short is released
and the internal divide down resistors which set the
VTT_DDR voltage to 50% of VDDQ_DDR will provide a
controlled voltage rise on the capacitor that is tied to the
VREF_IN pin. The voltage on this capacitor is the reference
for the VTT_DDR regulator and the output will track it as it
settles to 50% of the VDDQ voltage. The combination of the
internal resistors and the VREF_IN capacitor will determine
the rise time of the VTT_DDR regulator (see the Functional
Pin Description section for proper sizing of the VREF_IN
capacitor).
At time t6, a full soft-start cycle has passed from the time that
the VTT_DDR regulator was enabled. At this time the
VIDPGD comparator is enabled. Once enabled if the
VTT_GMCH/CPU output is within regulation, the VIDPGD pin
will be forced to a high impedance state.
Active to Sleep (S0 to S3 Transition)
When SLP_S3 goes LOW with SLP_S5 still HIGH, the
ISL6548A will disable all the regulators except for the VDDQ
regulator, which is continually supplied by the 5VDUAL rail.
VIDPGD will also transition LOW. When VTT is disabled, the
internal reference for the VTT regulator is internally shorted
to the VTT rail. This allows the VTT rail to float. When
floating, the voltage on the VTT rail will depend on the
leakage characteristics of the memory and MCH I/O pins. It
is important to note that the VTT rail may not bleed down to
0V. Figure 1 shows how the individual regulators are
affected by the S3 state at time t7.
Sleep to Active (S3 to S0 Transition)
When SLP_S3 transitions from LOW to HIGH with SLP_S5
held HIGH and after the 12V rail exceeds POR, the
ISL6548A will initiate the soft-start sequence. This sequence
is very similar to the mechanical start soft-start sequencing.
The transition from S3 to S0 is represented in Figure 1
between times t8 and t14.
At time t8, the SLP_S3 signal transitions HIGH. This enables
the ATX, which brings up the 12V rail. At time t9, the 12V rail
has exceeded the POR threshold and the ISL6548A enters a
reset mode that lasts for 3 soft-start cycles. At time t10, the 3
soft-start cycle reset is ended and the individual regulators
are enabled and soft-started in the same sequence as the
mechanical cold start sequence, with the exception that the
VDDQ regulator is already enabled and in regulation.
Active to Shutdown (S0 to S5 Transition)
When the system transitions from active, S0, state to
shutdown, S4/S5, state, the ISL6548A IC disables all
regulators and forces the VIDPGD pin LOW. This transition
is represented on Figure 1 at time t15.

Fault Protection
The ISL6548A monitors the VDDQ regulator for under and
overvoltage events. The VDDQ regulator also has overcurrent
protection. The internal VTT_DDR LDO regulator is monitored
for under and overvoltage events. All other regulators, with the
exception of the ICH7 LDO, are monitored for undervoltage
events.
An overvoltage event on either the VDDQ or VTT_DDR
regulator will cause an immediate shutdown of all regulators.
This can only be cleared by toggling the SLP_S5 signal such
that the system enters the S5 sleep state and then
transitions back to the active, S0, state.
If a regulator experiences any other fault condition (an
undervoltage or an overcurrent on VDDQ), then that regulator,
and only that regulator, will be disabled and an internal fault
counter will be incremented by 1. If the disabled regulator is
used as the input for another regulator, then that cascoded
regulator will also experience a fault condition due to a loss of
input. The cascoded regulator will be disabled and the fault
counter incremented by 1.
At every fault occurrence, the internal fault counter is
incremented by 1 and an internal Fault Reset Counter is
cleared to zero. The Fault Reset Counter will increment once
for every clock cycle (1 clock cycle is typically 1/250kHz, or
4s). If the Fault Reset Counter reaches a count of 16384
before another fault occurs, then the Fault Counter is
cleared to 0. If a fault occurs prior to the Fault Reset Counter
reaching a count of 16384, then the Fault Reset Counter is
set back to zero.
The ISL6548A will immediately shut down when the Fault
Counter reaches a count of 4 when the system is restarting
from an S5 state into the active, or S0, state. The ISL6548A
will immediately shut down when the Fault Counter reaches
a count of 5 at any other time.
The 16384 counts that are required to reset the Fault Reset
Counter represent 8 soft-start cycles, as one soft-start cycle is
2048 clock cycles. This allows the ISL6548A to attempt at least
one full soft-start sequence to restart the faulted regulators.
When attempting to restart a faulted regulator, the ISL6548A
will follow the preset start up sequencing. If a regulator is
already in regulation, then it will not be affected by the start
up sequencing.
VDDQ Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent function protects the switching converter from
a shorted output by using the upper MOSFET on-resistance,
rDS(ON), to monitor the current. This method enhances the
converter’s efficiency and reduces cost by eliminating a
current sensing resistor.
The overcurrent function cycles the soft-start function in a
hiccup mode to provide fault protection. A resistor (ROCSET)
programs the overcurrent trip level (see Typical Application
Page 10 of 16
ISL6548A
diagrams on page 4). An internal 20A (typical) current sink
develops a voltage across ROCSET that is referenced to the
converter input voltage. When the voltage across the upper
MOSFET (also referenced to the converter input voltage)
exceeds the voltage across ROCSET, the overcurrent function
initiates a soft-start sequence. The initiation of soft-start may
affect other regulators. The VTT_DDR regulator is directly
affected as it receives its reference and input from VDDQ.
The overcurrent function will trip at a peak inductor current
(IPEAK) determined by:
I OCSET x R OCSET
I PEAK = ---------------------------------------------------r DS  ON 
where IOCSET is the internal OCSET current source (20A
typical). The OC trip point varies mainly due to the MOSFET
rDS(ON) variations. To avoid overcurrent tripping in the
normal operating load range, find the ROCSET resistor from
the equation above with:
1. The maximum rDS(ON) at the highest junction
temperature.
2. The minimum IOCSET from the specification table.
I 
-,
3. Determine IPEAK for I PEAK > I OUT  MAX  + --------2
whereI is the output inductor ripple current.
For an equation for the ripple current see the section under
component guidelines titled ‘Output Inductor Selection’.
A small ceramic capacitor should be placed in parallel with
ROCSET to smooth the voltage across ROCSET in the
presence of switching noise on the input voltage.
Thermal Protection (S0/S3 State)
If the ISL6548A IC junction temperature reaches a nominal
temperature of 140°C, all regulators will be disabled. The
ISL6548A will not re-enable the outputs until the junction
temperature drops below 110°C and either the bias voltage is
toggled in order to initiate a POR or the SLP_S5 signal is
forced LOW and then back to HIGH.
Shoot-Through Protection
A shoot-through condition occurs when both the upper and
lower MOSFETs are turned on simultaneously, effectively
shorting the input voltage to ground. To protect from a shootthrough condition, the ISL6548A incorporates specialized
circuitry on the VDDQ regulator which insures that
complementary MOSFETs are not ON simultaneously.
The adaptive shoot-through protection utilized by the VDDQ
regulator looks at the lower gate drive pin, LGATE, and the
upper gate drive pin, UGATE, to determine whether a
MOSFET is ON or OFF. If the voltage from UGATE or from
LGATE to GND is less than 0.8V, then the respective
MOSFET is defined as being OFF and the other MOSFET is
allowed to turned ON. This method allows the VDDQ
regulator to both source and sink current.
FN9189 Rev 2.00
January 3, 2006
Since the voltage of the MOSFET gates are being measured
to determine the state of the MOSFET, the designer is
encouraged to consider the repercussions of introducing
external components between the gate drivers and their
respective MOSFET gates before actually implementing
such measures. Doing so may interfere with the shootthrough protection.
Application Guidelines
Layout Considerations
Layout is very important in high frequency switching
converter design. With power devices switching efficiently at
250kHz, 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 lower MOSFET. 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 ISL6548A
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 2
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
PHASE 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 phase nodes. Use the remaining printed
circuit layers for small signal wiring. The wiring traces from
the GATE pins to the MOSFET gates should be kept short
and wide enough to easily handle the 1A of drive current.
In order to dissipate heat generated by the internal VTT
LDO, the ground pad, pin 29, should be connected to the
internal ground plane through at least four vias. This allows
Page 11 of 16
ISL6548A
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
ISL6548A first. Minimize the length of the connections
between the input capacitors, CIN, and the power switches
by placing them nearby. Position both the ceramic and bulk
input capacitors as close to the upper MOSFET drain as
possible. Position the output inductor and output capacitors
between the upper and lower MOSFETs and the load.

The output voltage of the all the external voltage regulators

external resistor divider is used to scale the output voltage
relative to the reference voltage and feed it back to the
inverting input of the error amplifier, refer to the Typical
Application on page 4.

Check the compensation gain at FP2 with the capabilities of
the error amplifier. The Closed Loop Gain is constructed on

the Compensation Gain (in dB). This is equivalent to
multiplying the modulator transfer function to the
compensation transfer function and plotting the gain.

The compensation network consists of the error amplifier
(internal to the ISL6548A) 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 degrees. The equations below relate the compensation
network’s poles, zeros and gain to the components (R1 , R2 ,

Component Selection Guidelines
Output Capacitor Selection - PWM Buck Converter
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.
DDR memory systems are capable of producing transient
load rates above 1A/ns. 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.
Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for
switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The
bulk capacitor’s ESR will determine the output ripple voltage
and the initial voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient. An
aluminum electrolytic capacitor’s ESR value is related to the
case size with lower ESR available in larger case sizes.
However, the Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL) of these
capacitors increases with case size and can reduce the
usefulness of the capacitor to high slew-rate transient loading.
Unfortunately, ESL is not a specified parameter. Work with
your capacitor supplier and measure the capacitor’s
impedance with frequency to select a suitable component. In
most cases, multiple electrolytic capacitors of small case size
perform better than a single large case capacitor.
Output Capacitor Selection - LDO Regulators
The output capacitors used in LDO regulators are used to
provide dynamic load current. The amount of capacitance
and type of capacitor should be chosen with this criteria in
mind.
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 the following equations:
I =
VIN - VOUT
Fs x L
x
VOUT
FN9189 Rev 2.00
January 3, 2006
VIN
VOUT = I x ESR
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.
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
ISL6548A 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. The following
equations give the approximate response time interval for
application and removal of a transient load:
tRISE =
L x ITRAN
VIN - VOUT
tFALL =
L x ITRAN
VOUT
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.
Input Capacitor Selection - PWM Buck Converter
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage
overshoot across the MOSFETs. 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 MOSFETs and between the drain of upper MOSFET
and the source of lower MOSFET.
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 required by the regulator may be
closely approximated through the following equation:

ISL6548A
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.
MOSFET Selection - PWM Buck Converter
The ISL6548A requires 2 N-Channel power MOSFETs for
switching power. These should be selected based upon
rDS(ON) , gate supply requirements, and thermal management
requirements.
In high-current applications, the MOSFET power dissipation,
package selection and heatsink are the dominant design factors.
The power dissipation includes two loss components; conduction
loss and switching loss. The conduction losses are the largest
component of power dissipation for both the upper and the lower
MOSFETs. These losses are distributed between the two
MOSFETs according to duty factor. The switching losses seen
when sourcing current will be different from the switching
losses seen when sinking current. When sourcing current, the
upper MOSFET realizes most of the switching losses. The
lower switch realizes most of the switching losses when the
converter is sinking current (see the equations below). These
equations assume linear voltage-current transitions and do not
adequately model power loss due the reverse-recovery of the
upper and lower MOSFET’s body diode. The gate-charge
losses are dissipated in part by the ISL6548A and do not
significantly heat the MOSFETs. However, large gate-charge
increases the switching interval, tSW which increases the
MOSFET switching losses. Ensure that both MOSFETs are
within their maximum junction temperature at high ambient
temperature by calculating the temperature rise according to
package thermal-resistance specifications. A separate
heatsink may be necessary depending upon MOSFET power,
package type, ambient temperature and air flow.

MOSFET Selection - LDO
The main criteria for selection of the linear regulator pass
transistor is package selection for efficient removal of heat.
Select a package and heatsink that maintains the junction
temperature below the rating with a maximum expected
ambient temperature.
The power dissipated in the linear regulator is:
P LINEAR  I O   V IN – V OUT 
where IO is the maximum output current and VOUT is the
nominal output voltage of the linear regulator.
