Monolithic 1A Step-Down Regulator with
Low Quiescent Current
The ISL97536 is a synchronous, integrated FET 1A
step-down regulator with internal compensation. It operates
with an input voltage range from 2.5V to 6V, which
accommodates supplies of 3.3V, 5V, or a Li-ion battery
source. The output can be externally set from 0.8V to VIN
with a resistive divider.
The ISL97536 features PWM control with a 1.4MHz typical
switching frequency. The typical no load quiescent current is
only 500µA. Additional features include a 100ms Power-OnReset output, <1µA shutdown current, short-circuit
protection, and over-temperature protection.
Features
• Less than 0.15in2 footprint for the complete 1A converter
• Components on one side of PCB
• Max height 1.1mm MSOP10
• 100ms Power-On-Reset output (POR)
• Internally-compensated voltage mode controller
• Up to 95% efficiency
• <1µA shutdown current
• 500µA quiescent current
• Hiccup mode overcurrent and over-temperature protection
The ISL97536 is available in the 10 Ld MSOP package,
making the entire converter occupy less than 0.15in2 of PCB
area with components on one side only. The 10 Ld MSOP
package is specified for operation over the full -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

Applications Information
Product Description
The ISL97536 is a synchronous, integrated FET 1A
step-down regulator which operates from an input of 2.5V to
6V. The output voltage is user-adjustable with a pair of
external resistors.
The internally-compensated controller makes it possible to
use only two ceramic capacitors and one inductor to form a
complete, very small footprint 1A DC/DC converter.
PWM Operation
In PWM switching mode, the P-Channel MOSFET and
N-Channel MOSFET always operate complementary. When
the P-Channel MOSFET is on and the N-Channel MOSFET
off, the inductor current increases linearly. The input energy
is transferred to the output and also stored in the inductor.
When the P-Channel MOSFET is off and the N-Channel
MOSFET on, the inductor current decreases linearly, and
energy is transferred from the inductor to the output. Hence,
the average current through the inductor is the output
current. Since the inductor and the output capacitor act as a
low pass filter, the duty cycle ratio is approximately equal to
VO divided by VIN.
The output LC filter has a second order effect. To maintain
the stability of the converter, the overall controller must be
compensated. This is done with the fixed internally
compensated error amplifier and the PWM compensator.
Because the compensations are fixed, the values of input
and output capacitors are 10µF to 40µF ceramic and
inductor is 1.5µH to 2.2µH.
Start-Up and Shutdown
When the EN pin is tied to VIN, and VIN reaches
approximately 2.4V, the regulator begins to switch. The
inductor current limit is gradually increased to ensure proper
soft-start operation.
When the EN pin is connected to a logic low, the ISL97536 is
in the shutdown mode. All the control circuitry and both
MOSFETs are off, and VOUT falls to zero. In this mode, the
total input current is less than 1µA.
When the EN reaches logic HI, the regulator repeats the
start-up procedure, including the soft-start function.
Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection
The current limit is set at about 1.5A for the PMOS. When a
short-circuit occurs in the load, the preset current limit
restricts the amount of current available to the output, which
causes the output voltage to drop as load demand
increases. When the output voltage drops 30mV below the
reference voltage, the converter will shutdown for a period of
time, approximated by Equation 1, and then restart. If the
overcurrent condition still exists, it will repeat the
shutdown-wait-restart event. This is called a “hiccup” event.
The average power dissipation is reduced, thereby reducing
6
the likelihood of damage current and thermal conditions in the
IC as shown in Equation 1.

(EQ. 1)
Thermal Shutdown
Once the junction reaches about +145°C, the regulator shuts
down. Both the P-Channel and the N-Channel MOSFETs
turn off. The output voltage will drop to zero. With the output
MOSFETs turned off, the regulator will cool down. Once the
junction temperature drops to about +130°C, the regulator
will perform a normal restart.
Thermal Performance
The ISL97536 is available in a fused-lead MSOP10.
Compared with regular MSOP10 package, the fused-lead
package provides lower thermal resistance. The θJA is
+100°C/W on a 4-layer board and +125°C/W on 2-layer
board. Maximizing the copper area around the pins will
further improve the thermal performance.
RSI/POR Function
When powering up, the open-collector Power-On-Reset
output holds low for about 100ms after VO reaches the
preset voltage. When the active-HI reset signal RSI is
issued, POR goes to low immediately and holds for the
same period of time after RSI comes back to LOW. The
output voltage is unaffected. (Please refer to the timing
diagram). When the function is not used, connect RSI to
ground and leave open the pull-up resistor R4 at POR pin.
The POR output also serves as a 100ms delayed Power
Good signal when the pull-up resistor R4 is installed. The
RSI pin needs to be directly (or indirectly through a resistor
R6) connected to Ground for this to function properly.

Component Selection
Layout Considerations
Because of the fixed internal compensation, the component
choice is relatively narrow. For a regulator with fixed output
voltage, only two capacitors and one inductor are required.
Capacitors must be chosen in the range of 10µF to 40µF,
multilayer ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R rating for
both the input and output capacitors, and inductors in the
range of 1.5µH to 2.2µH.
The layout is very important for the converter to function
properly. The following PC layout guidelines should be
followed:
The RMS current present at the input capacitor is decided by
Equation 3:
3. Make the following PC traces as small as possible:
- from LX pin to L
- from CO to PGND
V O × ( V IN – V O )
I INRMS = ----------------------------------------------- × I O
V IN
(EQ. 3)
This is about half of the output current IO for all the VO. This
input capacitor must be able to handle this current.
The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current is given as shown
in Equation 4:
( V IN – V O ) × V O
ΔI IL = -------------------------------------------L × V IN × f S
1. Separate the Power Ground ( ) and Signal Ground
( ); connect them only at one point right at the pins
2. Place the input capacitor as close to VIN and PGND pins
as possible
4. If used, connect the trace from the FB pin to R1 and R2
as close as possible
5. Maximize the copper area around the PGND pin
6. Place several via holes under the chip to additional
ground plane to improve heat dissipation
The demo board is a good example of layout based on this
outline.
(EQ. 4)
L is the inductance
fS the switching frequency (nominally 1.4MHz)
The inductor must be able to handle IO for the RMS load
current, and to assure that the inductor is reliable, it must
handle the 2A surge current that can occur during a current
limit condition.
In addition to decoupling capacitors and inductor value, it is
important to properly size the phase-lead capacitor C4
(Refer to the “Pinout and Typical Application Diagram” on
page 1). The phase-lead capacitor creates additional phase
margin in the control loop by generating a zero and a pole in
the transfer function. As a general rule of thumb, C4 should
be sized to start the phase-lead at a frequency of ~2.5kHz.
The zero will always appear at lower frequency than the pole
and follow Equation 5:
1
f Z = ---------------------2πR 2 C 4
(EQ. 5)
Over a normal range of R2 (~10k to100k), C4 will range from
~470pF to 4700pF. The pole frequency cannot be set once
the zero frequency is chosen as it is dictated by the ratio of
R1 and R2, which is solely determined by the desired output
set point. Equation 6 shows the pole frequency relationship:
1
f P = --------------------------------------2π ( R 1 R 2 )C 4
