ISL6412 ® Data Sheet January 2004 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 ultraclean 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 at least 25ms after Vin has risen above the reset threshold. FAULT1 indicates the loss of regulation on LDO1. TEMP.

RESET - This pin is the active-LOW output of the push-pull output stage of the integrated reset supervisory circuit.

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. Functional Description 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. 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 8 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. Additional blocks include an output over-current protection, thermal sensor, fault detector, RESET function and shutdown logic. Internal P-Channel Pass Transistors The ISL6412 features a typical 0.5Ω 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. 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. 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 5µA 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. ISL6412 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. FAULT Functionality TABLE 1. EVENT FAULT1 Below UVLO threshold L VOUT1 = 1.8V ±8% typ VOUT2 /3 not in regulation H VOUT1 not in regulation VOUT2 and VOUT3 are in regulation L Thermal Shutdown L Normal Shutdown with SHDN pin L Operating Region and Power Dissipation Over-current only on LDO1 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: Over-current 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)/θJA Where Tjmax = 150°C, TA = ambient temperature, and θJA 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. 9 Applications Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability 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 50mΩ or less to insure stability and optimum transient response. For stable operation, a ceramic capacitor, with a minimum value of 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. 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.
