DATASHEET
Digital DC/DC PMBus 25A Module
ISL8270M
Features
The ISL8270M is a 25A step-down DC/DC power supply module
with integrated digital PWM controller, synchronous power
switches, an inductor and passives. Only bulk input and output
capacitors are needed to finish the design. The 25A of
continuous output current can be delivered without a need of
airflow or a heatsink. The thermally enhanced HDA module is
capable of dissipating heat directly into the PCB.
• Complete digital switch mode power supply
- Wide VIN range: 4.5V to 14V
- Programmable VOUT range: 0.6V to 5V
• PMBus compliant I2C communication interface
- Programmable VOUT, margining, UV/OV, IOUT limit,
soft-start/stop, sequencing, and external synchronization
- Monitor: VIN, VOUT, IOUT, temperature, duty cycle,
switching frequency and faults
The ISL8270M uses ChargeMode™ control architecture, which
responds to a transient load within a single switching cycle.
The ISL8270M comes with a preprogrammed configuration for
operating in a pin strap mode; output voltage, switching
frequency and device SMBus address can be programmed
with external resistors. More configuration such as soft-start
and fault limits can be easily programmed or changed via
PMBus compliant serial bus interface. PMBus can be used to
monitor voltages, current, temperatures and fault status. The
ISL8270M is supported by PowerNavigator™ software, a
graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used to configure
modules to a desired solution.
• ChargeMode control architecture
• ±1.0% VOUT accuracy over line, load and temperature
• Power-Good indicator
• Over-temperature protection
• Internal nonvolatile memory and fault logging
• Patented thermally enhanced HDA package
Applications

The ISL8270M is available in a 40-pin compact 17mmx19mm
HDA module with very low profile height of3.55mm, suitable
for automated assembly by standard surface mount
equipment. The ISL8270M is RoHS compliant by exemption.

NOTES:
12. R4 and R5 are not required if the PMBus host already has I2C pull-up resistors.
13. Only one R3 per DDC bus is required when DDC bus is shared with other modules.
14. R7 is optional but recommended to sink possible ~100µA back-flow current from the VSEN+ pin. Back-flow current is present only when the
module is in a disabled state with power still available at the VDD pin.
15. Unused pins (SYNC, XTEMP, MGN, UVLO) can be no connect.
16. Internal reference supply pins (V25, VDDC, VR5, VR6) do not need external capacitors and can be no connect. Refer to “PCB Layout Guidelines”
on page 20 for more information.

The ISL8270M provides an SMBus digital interface that enables
the user to configure all aspects of the module operation as well
as monitor the input and output parameters. The ISL8270M can
be used with any SMBus host device. In addition, the module is
compatible with PMBus™ Power System Management Protocol
Specification Parts I & II version 1.2. The ISL8270M accepts most
standard PMBus commands. When controlling the device with
PMBus commands, it is recommended that the enable pin is tied
to SGND.
The output voltage may also be set to any value between 0.6V
and 5V using a PMBus command VOUT_COMMAND.
The SMBus device address is the only parameters that must be
set by external pins. All other device parameters can be set with
PMBus commands.
By Default, VOUT_MAX is set 110% higher than VOUT set by the pin
strap resistor, which can be changed to any value up to 5.5V with
PMBus Command VOUT_MAX.
Output Voltage Selection
Soft-start Delay and Ramp Times
The output voltage may be set to a voltage between 0.6V and 5V
provided that the input voltage is higher than the desired output
voltage by an amount sufficient to maintain regulation.
It may be necessary to set a delay from when an enable signal is
received until the output voltage starts to ramp to its target
value. In addition, the designer may wish to precisely set the time
required for VOUT to ramp to its target value after the delay
period has expired. These features may be used as part of an
overall in-rush current management strategy or to precisely
control how fast a load IC is turned on. The ISL8270M gives the
system designer several options for precisely and independently
controlling both the delay and ramp time periods. The soft-start
delay period begins when the EN pin is asserted and ends when
the delay time expires.
The VSET pin is used to set the output voltage to levels as shown
in Table 4. The RSET resistor is placed between the VSET pin and
SGND. A standard 1% resistor is recommend.

The soft-start delay and ramp times can be programmed to
custom values with PMBus commands; TON_DELAY and
TON_RISE. When the delay time is set to 0ms, the device begins
its ramp-up after the internal circuitry has initialized
(approximately 2ms). When the soft-start ramp period is set to
0ms, the output ramps up as quickly as the output load
capacitance and loop settings allow. It is generally
recommended to set the soft-start ramp to a value greater than
500µs to prevent inadvertent fault conditions due to excessive
in-rush current.
Power-good
The ISL8270M provides a Power-Good (PG) signal that indicates
the output voltage is within a specified tolerance of its target
level and no fault condition exists. By default, the PG pin asserts
if the output is within 10% of the target voltage. These limits and
the polarity of the pin may be changed with PMBus command
POWER_GOOD_ON.
A PG delay period is defined as the time from when all conditions
within the ISL8270M for asserting PG are met to when the PG pin
is actually asserted. This feature is commonly used instead of
using an external reset controller to control external digital logic.
A PG delay can be programmed with PMBus command
POWER_GOOD_DELAY.
Switching Frequency and PLL
The device’s switching frequency is set from 296kHz to 1067kHz
using the pin-strap method as shown in Table 5, or by using a
PMBus command FREQUENCY_SWITCH. The ISL8270M
incorporates an internal phase-locked loop (PLL) to clock the

internal circuitry. The PLL can be driven by an external clock source
connected to the SYNC pin. When using the internal oscillator, the
SYNC pin can be configured as a clock source as a external sync to
other modules. Refer to “SYNC_CONFIG (E9h)” on page 44 for more
information.

ISL8270M
Output Overvoltage Protection
The ISL8270M offers an internal output overvoltage protection
circuit that can be used to protect sensitive load circuitry from
being subjected to a voltage higher than its prescribed limits. A
hardware comparator is used to compare the actual output
voltage (seen at the VSEN+, VSEN- pins) to a threshold set to 15%
higher than the target output voltage (the default setting). Fault
threshold can be programmed to a desired level with PMBus
command VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT. If the VSEN+ voltage exceeds,
this threshold module will initiate an immediate shutdown
without retry. Retry settings can be programmed with PMBus
command VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Internal to module, two 100Ω resistors are populated from VOUT
to VSEN+ and SGND to VSEN- to protect from overvoltage
conditions in case of open at VSENSE pins and differential remote
sense traces due to assembly error. As long as differential
remote sense traces have low resistance, VOUT regulation
accuracy is not sacrificed.
Output Pre-Bias Protection
An output pre-bias condition exists when an externally applied
voltage is present on a power supply’s output before the power
supply’s control IC is enabled. Certain applications require that
the converter not be allowed to sink current during start-up if a
pre-bias condition exists at the output. The ISL8270M provides
pre-bias protection by sampling the output voltage prior to
initiating an output ramp.
If a pre-bias voltage lower than the target voltage exists after the
preconfigured delay period has expired, the target voltage is set
to match the existing pre-bias voltage, and both drivers are
enabled. The output voltage is then ramped to the final
regulation value at the preconfigured ramp rate.
The actual time the output takes to ramp from the pre-bias
voltage to the target voltage varies, depending on the pre-bias
voltage, however, the total time elapsed from when the delay
period expires and when the output reaches its target value will
match the preconfigured ramp time (see Figure 26).
If a pre-bias voltage is higher than the target voltage after the
preconfigured delay period has expired, the target voltage is set
to match the existing pre-bias voltage, and both drivers are
enabled with a PWM duty cycle that would ideally create the
pre-bias voltage.
Once the preconfigured soft-start ramp period has expired, the
PG pin is asserted (assuming the pre-bias voltage is not higher
than the overvoltage limit). The PWM then adjusts its duty cycle
to match the original target voltage, and the output ramps down
to the preconfigured output voltage.
If a pre-bias voltage is higher than the overvoltage limit, the
device does not initiate a turn-on sequence and declares an
overvoltage fault condition. The device then responds based on
the output overvoltage fault response setting programmed with
PMBus command VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE.

Output Overcurrent Protection
The ISL8270M can protect the power supply from damage if the
output is shorted to ground or if an overload condition is imposed
on the output. Average output overcurrent fault threshold can be
programmed with PMBus command IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT.
Module automatically programs peak inductor current fault
threshold, by calculating inductor ripple current by reading
real-time input voltage, switching frequency, and
VOUT_COMMAND. When peak inductor current crosses peak
inductor current fault threshold for five successive cycle modules
it will initiate an immediate shutdown.
The default response from an overcurrent fault is an immediate
shutdown without retry. Retry settings can be programmed with
PMBus command MFR_IOUT_OC_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Thermal Overload Protection
The ISL8270M includes a thermal sensor that continuously
measures the internal temperature of the module and shuts
down the controller when the temperature exceeds the preset
limit. The default temperature limit is set to +125°C in the
factory, but can be changed with PMBus command
OT_FAULT_LIMIT.
The default response from an over-temperature fault is an
immediate shutdown without retry. Retry settings can be
programmed with PMBus command OT_FAULT_RESPONSE.
If the user has configured the module to retry, the controller
waits the preset delay period (if configured to do so) and then
checks the module temperature. If the temperature has dropped
below a threshold that is approximately +15°C lower than the
selected temperature fault limit, the controller attempts to
restart. If the temperature still exceeds the fault limit, the
controller waits the preset delay period and retries again.

Digital-DC Bus
The Digital-DC Communications (DDC) bus is used to
communicate between Intersil digital power modules and digital
controllers. This dedicated bus provides the communication
channel between devices for features such as sequencing and
fault spreading. The DDC pin on all Digital-DC devices in an
application should be connected together. A pull-up resistor is
required on the DDC bus in order to guarantee the rise time as
shown in Equation 1:
Rise Time = R PU C LOAD  1s
(EQ. 1)
Where RPU is the DDC bus pull-up resistance and CLOAD is the
bus loading. The pull-up resistor may be tied to an external 3.3V
or 5V supply as long as this voltage is present prior to or during
device power-up. In principle, each device connected to the DDC
bus presents approximately 10pF of capacitive loading, and each
inch of FR4 PCB trace introduces approximately 2pF. The ideal
design uses a central pull-up resistor that is well matched to the
total load capacitance.
DDC bus. The other devices on the DDC bus shutdown
simultaneously, if configured to do so, and attempt to restart in
their prescribed order.
Temperature Monitoring Using XTEMP Pin
The ISL8270M supports measurement of an external device
temperature using either a thermal diode integrated in a
processor, FPGA or ASIC, or using a discrete diode-connected
2N3904 NPN transistor. Figure 27 illustrates the typical
connections required. The external temperature sensors can be
used to provide the temperature reading for over temperature
and under temperature faults. These options for the external
temperature sensors are enabled using the USER_CONFIG
PMBus™ command.

Phase Spreading
XTEMP-
When multiple point-of-load converters share a common DC
input supply, it is desirable to adjust the clock phase offset of
each device, such that not all devices start to switch
simultaneously. Setting each converter to start its switching cycle
at a different point in time, can dramatically reduce input
capacitance requirements and efficiency losses. Since the peak
current drawn from the input supply is effectively spread out over
a period of time, the peak current drawn at any given moment is
reduced, and the power losses proportional to the IRMS2 are
reduced dramatically.
To enable phase spreading, all converters must be synchronized
to the same switching clock. The phase offset of each device
may also be set to any value between 0° and 360° in 22.5°
increments with PMBus command INTERLEAVE.

A group of Digital-DC modules or devices may be configured to
power-up in a predetermined sequence. This feature is especially
useful when powering advanced processors, (FPGAs and ASICs
that require one supply to reach its operating voltage) prior to
another supply reaching its operating voltage in order to avoid
latch-up. Multi-device sequencing can be achieved by configuring
each device with PMBus command SEQUENCE. Multiple device
sequencing is configured by issuing PMBus commands to assign
the preceding device in the sequencing chain as well as the
device that follows in the sequencing chain.
A system controller can monitor a wide variety of different
ISL8270M system parameters with PMBus commands:
• READ_VIN
• READ_VOUT
• READ_IOUT
• READ_INTERNAL_TEMP
• READ_EXTERNAL_TEMP
• READ_DUTY_CYCLE
The Enable pins of all devices in a sequencing group must be tied
together and driven high to initiate a sequenced turn-on of the
group. Enable must be driven low to initiate a sequenced turnoff
of the group.

Experimental power loss curves along with θJA from thermal
modeling analysis can be used to evaluate the thermal
consideration for the module. The derating curves are derived
from the maximum power allowed while maintaining the
temperature below the maximum junction temperature of
+125°C. In actual application, other heat sources and design
margin should be considered.
Package Description
The structure of the ISL8270M belongs to the High Density Array
(HDA) no-lead package. This kind of package has advantages,
such as good thermal and electrical conductivity, low weight and
small size. The HDA package is applicable for surface mounting
technology and is being more readily used in the industry. The
ISL8270M contains several types of devices, including resistors,
capacitors, inductors and control ICs. The ISL8270M is a copper
lead-frame based package with exposed copper thermal pads,
which have good electrical and thermal conductivity. The copper
lead frame and multi component assembly is over-molded with
polymer mold compound to protect these devices.
The package outline, a typical PCB land pattern design and a
typical stencil opening edge position are shown on pages 48, 50
and 51 respectively. The module has a small size of
17mmx19mmx3.55mm. Figure 30 shows typical reflow profile
parameters. These guidelines are general design rules. Users
could modify parameters according to their application.
PCB Layout Pattern Design
The bottom of ISL8270M is a lead-frame footprint, which is
attached to the PCB by surface mounting process. The PCB land
pattern is shown on page 50. The PCB layout pattern is
essentially 1:1 with the HDA exposed pad and I/O termination
dimensions. The thermal lands on the PCB layout should match
1:1 with the package exposed die pads.
Thermal Vias
A grid of 1.0mm to 1.2mm pitch thermal vias, which drops down
and connects to buried copper plane(s), should be placed under the
thermal land. The vias should be about 0.3mm to 0.33mm in
diameter with the barrel plated to about 1.0 ounce copper.
Although adding more vias (by decreasing via pitch) will improve
the thermal performance, diminishing returns will be seen as more
and more vias are added. Simply use as many vias as practical for
the thermal land size and your board design rules allow.
Stencil Pattern Design
Reflowed solder joints on the perimeter I/O lands should have
about a 50µm to 75µm (2mil to 3mil) standoff height. The solder
paste stencil design is the first step in developing optimized,
reliable solder joins. Stencil aperture size to land size ratio should
typically be 1:1. The aperture width may be reduced slightly to help
prevent solder bridging between adjacent I/O lands. To reduce
solder paste volume on the larger thermal lands, it is
recommended that an array of smaller apertures be used instead
of one large aperture. It is recommended that the stencil printing
area cover 50% to 80% of the PCB layout pattern. A typical solder
stencil pattern is shown on page 51. The gap width between pad to
pad is 0.6mm. The user should consider the symmetry of the
whole stencil pattern when designing its pads. A laser cut,
stainless steel stencil with electropolished trapezoidal walls is
recommended. Electropolishing “smooths” the aperture walls
resulting in reduced surface friction and better paste release,
which reduces voids. Using a Trapezoidal Section Aperture (TSA)
also promotes paste release and forms a "brick like" paste deposit
that assists in firm component placement. A 0.1mm to 0.15mm
stencil thickness is recommended for this large pitch (1.3mm) HDA.
Reflow Parameters
Due to the low mount height of the HDA, "No Clean" Type 3 solder
paste per ANSI/J-STD-005 is recommended. Nitrogen purge is
also recommended during reflow. A system board reflow profile
depends on the thermal mass of the entire populated board, thus
it is not practical to define a specific soldering profile just for the
HDA. The profile given in Figure 30 is provided as a guideline, to
be customized for varying manufacturing practices and
applications.

17h
Device starts from ENABLE pin with immediate off.
1Ah
Device starts from OPERATION command.
CLEAR_FAULTS (03h)
Definition: Clears all fault bits in all registers and releases the SALRT pin (if asserted) simultaneously. If a fault condition still exists, the
bit will reassert immediately. This command will not restart a device if it has shut down, it will only clear the faults.
Data Length in Bytes: 0 Byte
Data Format: N/A
Type: Write only
Default Value: N/A
Units: N/A
Reference: N/A
STORE_USER_ALL (15h)
Definition: Stores all PMBus settings from the operating memory to the nonvolatile USER store memory. To clear the USER store,
perform a RESTORE_FACTORY then STORE_USER_ALL. To add to the USER store, perform a RESTORE_USER_ALL, write commands to
be added, then STORE_USER_ALL. This command can be used during device operation, but the device will be unresponsive for 20ms
while storing values.

LEGACY_FAULT_GROUP (A8h)
Definition: This command is used only when the power system is created by mixing the ISL8270M module with old generation digital
modules (ZL9101M, ZL9117M, ZL9006M, ZL9010M) to power various rails. This command provides an ability to powering down the
system by broadcast faults between old and new generation digital modules.
New generation module uses group ID to broadcast faults between each other. Refer to DDC_GROUP(E2h) command. Old generation
module uses rail ID to broadcast fault. When new and old modules are mixed, ISL8270M can use GROUP-ID (new generation module)
and/or RAIL-ID (old generation module) to execute shutdown as response to fault to selected GROUP_ID or RAIL-ID. A module can listen
to multiple RAIL-IDs by writing 1 to a bit location representing RAIL-ID of old generation modules.
NOTE; Bit-5 in DDC_GROUP command should be programmed 1 to activate fault broadcast.
