INTERSIL 5962R1220201VXC

Rad Hard and SEE Hard 12A Synchronous Buck
Regulator with Multi-Phase Current Sharing
ISL70002SEH
Features
The ISL70002SEH is a radiation hardened and SEE hardened
high efficiency monolithic synchronous buck regulator with
integrated MOSFETs. This single chip power solution operates
over an input voltage range of 3V to 5.5V and provides a tightly
regulated output voltage that is externally adjustable from 0.8V
to ~85% of the input voltage. Output load current capacity is
12A for TJ ≤ +150°C. Two ISL70002SEH devices configured to
current share can provide 19A total output current, assuming
±27% worst-case current share accuracy.
• DLA SMD#5962-12202
The ISL70002SEH utilizes peak current-mode control with
integrated error amp compensation and pin selectable slope
compensation. Switching frequency is also pin selectable to
either 1MHz or 500kHz. Two ISL70002SEH devices can be
synchronized 180° out-of-phase to reduce input RMS ripple
current.
High integration makes the ISL70002SEH an ideal choice to
power small form factor applications. Two devices can be
synchronized to provide a complete power solution for large
scale digital ICs, like field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs),
that require separate core and I/O voltages.

DESCRIPTION
This pin is the voltage feedback input to the internal error amplifier. Connect a resistor from FB to VOUT and
from FB to AGND to adjust the output voltage in accordance with Equation 1:
V OUT = V REF ⋅ [ 1 + ( R T ⁄ R B ) ]
(EQ. 1)
Where:
VOUT = Output voltage
VREF = Reference voltage (0.6V typical)
RT = Top divider resistor (Must be 1kΩ)
RB = Bottom divider resistor
The top divider resistor must be 1kΩ to mitigate SEE. Connect a 4.7nF ceramic capacitor across RT to mitigate
SEE and to improve stability margins.
If using current share, tie FB of the Master to FB of the Slave.

ISHA/B/C
3
If configured as a current share Master (ISHSL = DGND, ISHEN = DVDD), the ISHA/B/C pins are outputs that
provides a current equal to 25 times the redundant A/B/C error amp output currents plus ISHREFA/B/C
(nominally 100µA each). If configured as a current share Slave (ISHSL = DVDD, ISHEN = DVDD), the ISHA/B/C
pins are inputs that become the Slave’s redundant A/B/C error amp output current. If using current share, tie
ISHA/B/C of the Master to ISHA/B/C of the Slave. If not using current share, tie ISHA/B/C to DVDD. ISHA/B/C
are tri-stated prior to a valid POR and when ISHEN = DGND.

ISHREFA/B/C
If configured as a current share Master (ISHSL = DGND, ISHEN = DVDD), the ISHREFA/B/C pins provide a
reference output current equal to 100uA each. If configured as a current share Slave (ISHSL = DVDD,
ISHEN = DVDD), the ISHREFA/B/C pins accept a reference input current. For a current share Slave, this input
current is used together with the ISHA/B/C current to determine the Master’s redundant A/B/C error amp
output current. If using current share, tie ISHREFA/B/C of the MASTER to ISHREFA/B/C of the Slave. If not using
current share, tie ISHREFA/B/C to DVDD. The purpose of the reference current is to reduce the impact of
external noise coupling onto ISHA/B/C. ISHREFA/B/C are tri-stated prior to a valid POR
and when ISHEN = DGND.
8
AVDD
This pin is the bias supply input to the internal analog control circuitry. Locally filter this pin to AGND using a 1Ω
resistor and a 1µF ceramic capacitor. Locate both filter components as close as possible to the IC. AVDD should
be the same voltage as DVDD and PVINx (±200mV).
9
AGND
This pin is the analog ground associated with the internal analog control circuitry. Connect this pin directly to
the PCB ground plane.
10
DGND
This pin is the digital ground associated with the internal digital control circuitry. Connect this pin directly to the
PCB ground plane.
11
DVDD
This pin is the bias supply input to the internal digital control circuitry. Locally filter this pin to DGND using a 1Ω
resistor and a 1µF ceramic capacitor. Locate both filter components as close as possible to the IC. DVDD should
be the same voltage as AVDD and PVINx (±200mV).
12
SS
This pin is the soft-start input. Connect a ceramic capacitor from this pin to DGND to set the soft-start output
ramp time in accordance with Equation 2:
t SS = C SS ⋅ V REF ⁄ I SS
(EQ. 2)
Where:
tSS = Soft-start output ramp time
CSS = Soft-start capacitor
VREF = Reference voltage (0.6V typical)
ISS = Soft-start charging current (23µA typical)
Soft-start time is adjustable from approximately 2ms to 200ms.
The range of the soft-start capacitor should be 82nF to 8.2µF, inclusive.
If using current share, CSS of the Slave should be at least twice the CSS of the Master.
13
PGOOD
This pin is the power-good output. This pin is an open drain logic output that is pulled to DGND when the output
voltage is outside a ±11% typical regulation window. This pin can be pulled up to any voltage from 0V to 5.5V,
independent of the supply voltage. A nominal 1kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor is recommended. Bypass this pin
to DGND with a 10nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE. If using current share, tie PGOOD of the Master to
PGOOD of the Slave.
14
ISHCOM
ISHCOM is a bidirectional communication line between a current share Master and a current share Slave. If
using current share, tie ISHCOM of the Master to ISHCOM of the Slave. The Master enables the Slave by
resistively (~ 8.5kΩ) pulling ISHCOM high. The Slave indicates an over-current fault condition to the Master by
pulling ISHCOM low. To mitigate SET, connect a 47pF ceramic capacitor from ISHCOM to the PCB ground plane.
If not using current share this pin should be floated or connected to the PCB ground plane. ISHCOM is tri-stated
if ISHEN is low.
15
ISHSL
This pin is a logic input that is used to configure the IC as a current share Master or Slave. Tie this pin to DVDD
to configure the IC as a current share Slave. Tie this pin to the PCB ground plane to configure the IC as a current
share Master, or if the current share feature is not being used.
16
ISHEN
This pin is an input that enables/disables the current share feature. To enable the current share feature, tie this
pin to DVDD. To disable the current share feature, tie this pin to the PCB ground plane.
17
PORSEL
18
TDO
This pin is the test data output of the internal BIT circuitry. Connect this pin to the PCB ground plane.
19
TDI
This pin is the test data input of the internal BIT circuitry. Connect this pin to the PCB ground plane.
20

GND
This pin is connected to an internal metal die trace that serves as a sensitive node noise shield. Connect this
pin to the PCB ground plane.
This pin is the input for selecting the rising and falling POR (Power-On-Reset) thresholds. For a nominal 5V
supply, connect this pin to DVDD. For a nominal 3.3V supply, connect this pin to DGND. For nominal supply
voltages between 5V and 3.3V, connect this pin to DGND.

SYNC
When SYNC is configured as an output (clock Master Mode, M/S = DVDD), this pin drives the SYNC input of
another ISL70002SEH with a square ware that is inverted (~180° out-of-phase) from the Master clockdriving
the Master PWM circuits. When configured as an input (clock Slave Mode, M/S = DGND), this pin uses the SYNC
output from another ISL70002SEH or an external clock to drive the clock Slave PWM circuitry. If synchronizing
to an external clock, the clock must be SEE hardened and the frequency must be within the range of 400kHz
to 1.2MHz.
23, 28, 32, 37, 38,
43, 44, 49, 53, 58
PVINx
These pins are the power supply inputs to the corresponding internal power blocks. These pins must be
connected to a common power supply rail, which must fall in the range of 3V to 5.5V. Bypass these pins directly
to PGNDx with ceramic capacitors located as close as possible to the IC. PVINx should be the same voltage as
DVDD and AVDD (±200mV).
24, 27, 33, 36, 39,
42, 45, 48, 54, 57
LXx
These pins are the outputs of the corresponding internal power blocks and should be connected to the output
filter inductor. Internally, these pins are connected to the synchronous MOSFET power switches.
25, 26, 34, 35, 40,
41, 46, 47, 55, 56
PGNDx
These pins are the power grounds associated with the corresponding internal power blocks. These pins also
provide the ground path for the metal package lid. Connect these pins directly to the PCB ground plane. These
pins should also connect to the negative terminals of the input and output capacitors. Locate the input and
output capacitors as close as possible to the IC.
29
M/S
This pin is the clock Master/Slave input for selecting the direction of the bi-directional SYNC pin. For
SYNC = Output (Master Mode), connect this pin to DVDD. For SYNC = Input (Slave Mode), connect this pin to the
PCB ground plane.
30
FSEL
This pin is the oscillator frequency select input. Tie this pin to DVDD to select a 1MHz nominal oscillator
frequency. Tie this pin to the PCB ground plane to select a 500kHz nominal oscillator frequency.
31, 50
NC
These are No Connect pins that are not connected to anything internally. They should be connected to the PCB
ground plane.
51, 52
SC0/1
These pins are inputs that comprise a 2-bit code to select the slope compensation (SC) current ramp referred
to the output as shown below.
SC1 = DVDD, SC0 = DVDD: SC = 6.6A/µs for FSEL = DGND
SC1 = DVDD, SC0 = DGND: SC = 3.3A/µs for FSEL = DGND
SC1 = DGND, SC0 = DVDD: SC = 1.6A/µs for FSEL = DGND
SC1 = DGND, SC0 = DGND: SC = 0.8A/µs for FSEL = DGND
SC1 = DVDD, SC0 = DVDD: SC= 13.4A/µs for FSEL = DVDD
SC1 = DVDD, SC0 = DGND: SC = 6.7A/µs for FSEL = DVDD
SC1 = DGND, SC0 = DVDD: SC = 3.4A/µs for FSEL = DVDD
SC1 = DGND, SC0 = DGND: SC = 1.7A/µs for FSEL = DVDD
If using current share, SC0 and SC1 of the Slave MUST match the Master SC0 and SC1.
59
EN
This pin is the enable input to the IC. This is a comparator type input with a rising threshold of 0.6V and
programmable hysteresis. Driving this pin above 0.6V enables the IC. Bypass this pin to the PCB ground plane
with a 10nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE.
60, 62
OCSSB/A
This pin is a switch to AGND that is active during the soft-start period. It is used to set the redundant A/B peak
overcurrent limit threshold during soft-start. Connect a resistor from OCSSx to OCx in accordance with the
following equation: ROCSSx 600mV / [(IOCSSx - IOCx) /100,000]
where IOCx is the desired peak overcurrent limit during normal operation and IOCSSx is the desired peak
current limit threshold during soft-start.
61, 63
OCB/A
This pin is a source follower output that is used to set the redundant A/B peak overcurrent limit threshold during
normal operation. Connect a resistor from this pin to the PCB ground plane in accordance with the following
equation: ROCx = 600mV / (IOCx /100,000), where IOCx is the desired peak current limit threshold during
normal operation.
64
REF
This pin is the internal reference voltage output. Bypass this pin to the PCB ground plane with a 220nF ceramic
capacitor located as close as possible to the IC. The bypass capacitor is needed to mitigate SEE. No current
(sourcing or sinking) is available from this pin.
If using current share, tie REF of the Master to REF of the Slave through a 10Ω resistor.

ISL70002SEH
Functional Description
The ISL70002SEH is a monolithic, fixed frequency, current-mode
synchronous buck regulator. Two ISL70002SEH devices can be
used to provide a total DC/DC solution for FPGAs, CPLDs, DSPs
and CPUs.

The current comparator compares the output current at the
current ripple peak to the scaled pilot current. The error amplifier
monitors VOUT and compares it with an internal reference
voltage. The output voltage of the error amplifier creates a
proportional current to the pilot. If VOUT is low, the current level of
the pilot is increased and the trip off current level of the output is
increased. The increased output current raises VOUT until it is in
agreement with the reference voltage.

FIGURE 12. POWER BLOCK DIAGRAM
Power Blocks
The power output stage of the regulator consists of ten power
blocks that are paralleled to provide full 12A output current
capability. The block diagram in Figure 12 shows a top level view
of the individual power blocks.
Each power block has a power supply input pin, PVINx, a phase
output pin, LXx, and a power supply ground pin, PGNDx. All PVINx
pins must be connected to a common power supply rail and all
PGNDx pins must be connected to a common ground. LXx pins
should be connected to the output inductor based on the
required load current, but must include the LX2, LX6 and LX9
pins. For example, if 6A of output current is needed, any five LXx
pins can be connected to the inductor as long as three of them
are the LX2, LX6 and LX9 pins. The unused LXx pins should be
left unconnected. Connecting all ten LXx pins to the output
inductor provides a maximum 12A of output current at +150°C
die temperature. See the “Typical Application Schematic” on
page 6 for pin connection guidance.
Power blocks 2, 6 and 9 contain the master pilot devices, which
provides current feedback and this is why they must be
connected to the output inductor.
Main Control Loop
During normal operation, the internal top power switch is turned
on at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in the output
inductor ramps up until the current comparator trips and turns
off the top power MOSFET. Then the bottom power MOSFET turns
on and the inductor current ramps down for the rest of the cycle.

FIGURE 13. OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
The output voltage of the ISL70002SEH can be adjusted using an
external resistor divider as shown in Figure 13. RT should be
selected as 1kΩ to mitigate SEE. RT should be shunted by a
4.7nF ceramic capacitor, CC, to mitigate SEE and to improve loop
stability margins. The REF pin should be bypassed to AGND with
a 220nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE. It should be noted
that no current (sourcing or sinking) is available from the REF pin.
RB can be determined from Equation 3. The designer can
configure the output voltage from 0.8V to 85% of the input
voltage.

The minimum on time determines the lowest output voltage, so
when VIN = 5.5V and the switching frequency is 500kHz this
parameter limits the regulated output voltage to about 0.8V or
greater. It increases at the 1MHz switching frequency to about
1.6V or greater. The minimum on time increases by about 9% at
VIN = 3V, but the 500kHz output voltage is not limited by the
minimum on time and the 1MHz minimum VOUT is approximately
0.9V.
Switching Frequency/Synchronization
The ISL70002SEH features an internal oscillator running at a
fixed frequency of either 500kHz or 1MHz ±15% over
recommended operating conditions. When the FSEL pin is
grounded the oscillator operated at 500kHz, and if FSEL is
connected to DVDD it operates at 1MHZ.
The regulator can be configured to run from the internal oscillator
or can be synchronized to another ISL70002SEH or an SEE
hardened external clock with a frequency range of 500kHz to
1MHz (±20%).
To run the regulator from the internal oscillator, connect the M/S
pin to DVDD. In this case the output of the internal oscillator

appears on the SYNC pin. To synchronize the regulator to the
SYNC output of another ISL70002SEH regulator or to an SEE
hardened external clock, connect the M/S pin to DGND. In this
case the SYNC pin is an input that accepts an external
synchronizing signal. When M/S is connected to DGND, the
ISL70002SEH is synchronized 180° out-of-phase with respect to
the SYNC input of a Master configured regulator SYNC output or
to an external clock.
Two Phase Operation
The ISL70002SEH is capable of operating 2 ICs as a single Two
Phase regulator with nearly twice the load current capacity. In
this mode, a redundant Current Sharing bus balances the load
current between the two devices and communicates any fault
conditions. One ISL70002SEH is designated the Master and the
other the Slave. The Master ISHSL pin is connected to DGND and
the Slave ISHSL pin is connected to DVDD. The ISHEN pins on
both Master and Slave are connected to DVDD. The SYNC, ISHA,
ISHB, ISHC, ISHREFA, ISHREFB, ISHREFC, ISHCOM and FB pins
are connected from the Master to the Slave and the REF pins are
tied with a 10Ω resistor. Configured this way, the two phase
regulator nearly doubles the load current capacity, limited only by
the Current Share Match tolerance.
The ISL70002SEH ICs operate 180° out-of-phase to minimize
the input ripple current, effectively operating as a single IC at
twice the switching frequency. The Master phase uses the falling
edge of the SYNC clock to initiate the Master switching cycle with
the non-overlap period before the rising edge of LX, while the
Slave phase internally inverts the SYNC input and uses the falling
edge of the inverted copy to start it’s switching cycle. This is
independent of whether the Master phase is configured for an
external clock (Master M/S = DGND) or its internal clock (Master
M/S = DVDD). The Master Error Amplifier and Compensation
controls the two phase regulator while the Slave Error Amplifier is
disabled. The schematic in Figure 3 shows the complete
connections for the Master and Slave.
Operation Initialization
The ISL70002SEH initializes based on the state of the power-on
reset (POR) monitor of the PVINx inputs and the state of the EN
input. Successful initialization prompts a soft-start interval and
the regulator begins slowly ramping the output voltage. Once the
commanded output voltage is within the proper window of
operation, the power-good signal changes state from low to high
indicating proper regulator operation.
regulator do not cause inadvertent turn-off/turn-on of the
regulator. When the PVINx pins are below the POR rising
threshold, the internal synchronous power MOSFET switches are
turned off and the LXx pins are held in a high-impedance state.
Enable and Disable
After the POR input requirement is met, the ISL70002SEH
remains in shutdown until the voltage at the enable input rises
above the enable threshold. As shown in Figure 14, the enable
circuit features a comparator type input. In addition to simple
logic on/off control, the enable circuit allows the level of an
external voltage to precisely gate the turn-on/turn-off of the
regulator. An internal IEN current sink with a typical value of
11µA is only active when the voltage on the EN pin is below the
enable threshold. The current sink pulls the EN pin low. As
VCONTROL rises, the enable level is not set exclusively by the
resistor divider from VCONTROL. With the current sink active, the
enable level is defined by Equation 4. R1 is the resistor from the
EN pin to VCONTROL and R2 is the resistor from the EN pin to the
AGND pin.
R1
V ENABLE = V REF ⋅ 1 + -------- + I EN ⋅ R1
R2
(EQ. 4)
Once the voltage at the EN pin reaches the enable threshold, the
IEN current sink turns off.
With the part enabled and the IEN current sink off, the disable
level is set by the resistor divider. The disable level is defined by
Equation 5.
(EQ. 5)
R1
V DISABLE = V REF ⋅ 1 + -------R2
The difference between the enable and disable levels provides
adjustable hysteresis so that noise on VCONTROL does not
interfere with the enabling or disabling of the regulator.
The EN pin should be bypassed to the AGND pin with a 10nF
ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE.

The POR circuitry prevents the controller from attempting to softstart before sufficient bias is present at the PVINx pins.
The POR threshold of the PVINx pins is controlled by the PORSEL
pin. For a nominal 5V supply voltage, PORSEL should be
connected to DVDD. For a nominal 3.3V supply voltage, PORSEL
should be connected to DGND. For nominal supply voltages
between 5V and 3.3V, PORSEL should be connected to DGND.

Soft-Start
Once the POR and enable circuits are satisfied, the regulator
initiates a soft-start. Figure 15 shows that the soft-start circuit
clamps the error amplifier reference voltage to the voltage on an
external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin. The
soft-start capacitor is charged by an internal ISS current source
(23µA typical). As the soft-start capacitor is charged, the output
voltage slowly ramps to the set point determined by the
reference voltage and the feedback network. Once the voltage on
the SS pin is equal to the internal reference voltage (600mV), the
soft-start interval is complete though the SS pin voltage
continues to rise to approximately 1.4V. PGOOD is ENABLED after
SS reached to 1.4V. The controlled ramp of the output voltage
reduces the inrush current during start-up. The soft-start output
ramp interval is defined in Equation 6 and is adjustable from
approximately 2ms to 200ms. The value of the soft-start
capacitor, CSS, should range from 82nF to 8.2µF, inclusive. The
peak inrush current can be computed from Equation 7. The
soft-start interval should be selected long enough to insure that
the peak in-rush current plus the peak output load current does
not exceed the SS overcurrent trip level of the regulator.

rises with an external pull-up resistor. The power-good signal
transitions low immediately when the EN pin is pulled low.
The power-good circuitry monitors the FB pin and compares it to
the rising and falling thresholds shown in the “Electrical
Specifications” table on page 10. If the feedback voltage exceeds
the typical rising limit of 111% of the reference voltage, the
PGOOD pin pulls low. The PGOOD pin continues to pull low until
the feedback voltage falls to a typical of 107.5% of the reference
voltage. If the feedback voltage drops below a typical of 89% of
the reference voltage, the PGOOD pin pulls low. The PGOOD pin
continues to pull low until the feedback voltage rises to a typical
92.5% of the reference voltage. The PGOOD pin then releases
and signals the return of the output voltage within the powergood window.
The PGOOD pin can be pulled up to any voltage from 0V to 5.5V,
independent of the supply voltage. The pull-up resistor should
have a nominal value from 1kΩ to 10kΩ. The PGOOD pin should
be bypassed to DGND with a 10nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate
SEE.
Slope Compensation
The SC0 and SC1 pins select four levels of Current Mode Slope
Compensation. In Current Mode buck regulators, when the duty
cycle approaches and exceeds 50% the regulator will operate in
sub-harmonic oscillation without Slope Compensation. Slope
Compensation is widely considered unnecessary if the duty cycle
is held below 40% and provides better phase margin. Transient
duty cycles must be taken into consideration when selecting the
level of Slope Compensation. The following table describes the
amount of effective current that is added the output powerstage
signal that is used in the PWM modulator.

Fault Monitoring and Protection
FIGURE 15. SOFT-START CIRCUIT
Power-Good
The power-good (PGOOD) pin is an open-drain logic output which
indicates when the output voltage of the regulator is within
regulation limits. The power-good pin pulls low during shutdown
and remains low when the controller is enabled. After a
successful soft-start, the PGOOD pin releases and the voltage

The ISL70002SEH actively monitors output voltage and current
to detect fault conditions. Fault conditions trigger protective
measures to prevent damage to the regulator and external load
device.
Undervoltage Protection
A hysteretic comparator monitors the FB pin of the regulator. The
feedback voltage is compared to an undervoltage threshold that
is a fixed percentage of the reference voltage. Once the
FN8264.1
April 5, 2012
ISL70002SEH
comparator trips on two consecutive switching cycles, indicating
a valid undervoltage condition, the undervoltage protection logic
shuts down the regulator. If the feedback voltage rises back
above the undervoltage threshold plus a specified amount of
hysteresis outlined in the “Electrical Specifications” table on
page 10 after the first detection and before the second, normal
operation continues.
After the regulator shuts down, it enters a delay interval,
equivalent to the selected soft-start interval. The undervoltage
counter is reset entering the delay interval. The protection logic
initiates a normal soft-start once the delay interval ends. If the
output successfully soft-starts, the power-good signal goes high
and normal operation continues. If undervoltage conditions
continue to exist during the soft-start interval, the undervoltage
counter must overflow before the regulator shuts down again.
This hiccup mode continues indefinitely until the output softstarts successfully.
Overcurrent Protection
A pilot devices integrated into the PMOS transistor of Power Blocks
2 and 6 samples the inductor current each cycle. This current
feedback is scaled and compared to an overcurrent threshold
based on the overcurrent resistor connected from OCx to AGND.
If the sampled current exceeds the overcurrent threshold, an
overcurrent counter increments. If the sampled current falls below
the threshold before the counter overflows, the counter is reset.
Once the overcurrent counter reaches 2, the regulator shuts down.
After the regulator shuts down, it enters a delay interval,
equivalent to the soft-start interval, allowing the device to cool.
The overcurrent counter is reset entering the delay interval. The
protection logic initiates a normal soft-start once the delay
interval ends. If the output successfully soft-starts, the powergood signal goes high and normal operation continues. If
overcurrent conditions continue to exist during the soft-start
interval, the overcurrent counter must overflow before the
regulator shut downs the output again. This hiccup mode
continues indefinitely until the output soft-starts successfully.
Component Selection Guide
This design guide is intended to provide a high-level explanation
of the steps necessary to create a power converter. It is assumed
the reader is familiar with many of the basic skills and
techniques referenced below. In addition to this guide, Intersil
provides a complete evaluation board that includes schematic,
BOM, and an example PCB layout.
Output Filter Design
The output inductor and the output capacitor bank together form
a low-pass filter responsible for smoothing the pulsating voltage
at the phase node. The filter must also provide the transient
energy until the regulator can respond. Since the filter has low
bandwidth relative to the switching frequency, it limits the
system transient response. The output capacitors must supply or
sink current while the current in the output inductor increases or
decreases to meet the load demand.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The critical load parameters in choosing the output capacitors are
the maximum size of the load step (ΔISTEP), the load-current slew
17
rate (di/dt), and the maximum allowable output voltage deviation
under transient loading (ΔVMAX). Capacitors are characterized
according to their capacitance, ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
and ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance).
At the beginning of a load transient, the output capacitors supply all
of the transient current. The output voltage will initially deviate by an
amount approximated by the voltage drop across the ESL. As the
load current increases, the voltage drop across the ESR increases
linearly until the load current reaches its final value. Neglecting the
contribution of inductor current and regulator response, the output
voltage initially deviates by an amount shown in Equation 8.
di
ΔV MAX ≈ ESL × ----- + [ ESR × ΔI STEP ]
dt
(EQ. 8)
The filter capacitors selected must have sufficiently low ESL and
ESR such that the total output voltage deviation is less than the
maximum allowable ripple.
Most capacitor solutions rely on a mixture of high frequency
capacitors with relatively low capacitance in combination with
bulk capacitors having high capacitance but larger ESR.
Minimizing the ESL of the high-frequency capacitors allows them
to support the output voltage as the current increases.
Minimizing the ESR of the bulk capacitors allows them to supply
the increased current with less output voltage deviation.
Ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric are recommended.
Alternately, a combination of low ESR solid tantalum capacitors
and ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric may be used.
The ESR of the bulk capacitors is responsible for most of the
output voltage ripple. As the bulk capacitors sink and source the
inductor AC ripple current, a voltage, VP-P(MAX), develops across
the bulk capacitor according to Equation 9.
( V IN – V OUT )V OUT
V P-P(MAX) = ESR × ----------------------------------------------------L OUT × f s × V IN
(EQ. 9)
OUTPUT INDUCTOR SELECTION
Once the output capacitors are selected, the maximum allowable
ripple voltage, VP-P(MAX), determines the lower limit on the
inductance as shown in Equation 10.
( V IN – V OUT )V OUT
L OUT ≥ ESR × -----------------------------------------------------f s × V IN × V P-P(MAX)
(EQ. 10)
Since the output capacitors are supplying a decreasing portion of
the load current while the regulator recovers from the transient,
the capacitor voltage becomes slightly depleted. The output
inductor must be capable of assuming the entire load current
before the output voltage decreases more than ΔVMAX. This
places an upper limit on inductance.
Equation 11 gives the upper limit on output inductance for the
case when the trailing edge of the current transient causes the
greater output voltage deviation than the leading edge. Equation
12 addresses the leading edge. Normally, the trailing edge
dictates the inductance selection because duty cycles are usually
<50%. Nevertheless, both inequalities should be evaluated, and
inductance should be governed based on the lower of the two
results. In each equation, LOUT is the output inductance, COUT is

current in the output inductor.

(EQ. 12)
The other concern when selecting an output inductor is to insure
there is adequate slope compensation when the regulator is
operated above 40% duty cycle. In most cases, the maximum
slope compensation setting (SC1 = DVDD, SC0 = DVDD provides
sufficient phase margin, therefore this is the recommended
configuration.
Input Capacitor Selection
Input capacitors are responsible for sourcing the AC component
of the input current flowing into the switching power devices.
Their RMS current capacity must be sufficient to handle the AC
component of the current drawn by the switching power devices
which is related to duty cycle. The maximum RMS current
required by the regulator is closely approximated by Equation 13.

(EQ. 13)
The important parameters to consider when selecting an input
capacitor are the voltage rating and the RMS ripple current
rating. For reliable operation, select capacitors with voltage
ratings at least 1.5x greater than the maximum input voltage.
The capacitor RMS ripple current rating should be higher than
the largest RMS ripple current required by the circuit.
A combination of low ESR tantalum capacitors and ceramic
capacitors with X7R dielectric are recommended. The
ISL70002SEH requires a minimum effective input capacitance
of 100µF for stable operation.
PCB Design
PCB design is critical to high-frequency switching regulator
performance. Careful component placement and trace routing
are necessary to reduce voltage spikes and minimize
undesirable voltage drops. Selection of a suitable thermal
interface material is also required for optimum heat dissipation
and to provide lead strain relief.
18
PCB Plane Allocation
Four layers of two ounce copper are recommended. Layer 2
should be a dedicated ground plane with all critical component
ground connections made with vias to this layer. Layer 3 should
be a dedicated power plane split between the input and output
power rails. Layers 1 and 4 should be used primarily for signals,
but can also provide additional power and ground islands as
required.
PCB Component Placement
Components should be placed as close as possible to the IC to
minimize stray inductance and resistance. Prioritize the
placement of bypass capacitors on the pins of the IC in the order
shown: REF, SS, AVDD, DVDD, PVINx (high frequency capacitors),
EN, PGOOD, PVINx (bulk capacitors).
Locate the output voltage resistive divider as close as possible to
the FB pin of the IC. The top leg of the divider should connect
directly to the POL (Point Of Load) and the bottom leg of the
divider should connect directly to AGND. The junction of the
resistive divider should connect directly to the FB pin.
A small series R-C snubber connected from the LXx pins to the
PGNDx pins may be used to damp high frequency ringing on the
LXx pins if desired.
PCB Layout
Use a small island of copper to connect the LXx pins of the IC to
the output inductor on layers 1 and 4. Void the copper on layers 2
and 3 adjacent to the island to minimize capacitive coupling to
the power and ground planes. Place most of the island of layer 4
to minimize the amount of copper that must be voided from the
ground plane (layer 2).
Keep all other signal traces as short as possible.
For an example layout refer to AN1732.
Thermal Management
For optimum thermal performance, place a pattern of vias on the
top layer of the PCB directly underneath the IC. Connect the vias
to the ground plane on layer 2, which serves as a heatsink. To
insure good thermal contact, thermal interface material such as
a Sil-Pad or thermally conductive epoxy should be used to fill the
gap between the vias and the bottom of the IC.
Lead Strain Relief
The package leads protrude from the bottom of the package and
the leads are slightly bent to provide strain relief.
