ISL6740, ISL6741 Datasheet

Flexible Double Ended Voltage and Current Mode PWM
Controllers
ISL6740, ISL6741
Features
The ISL6740, ISL6741 family of adjustable frequency, low
power, pulse width modulating (PWM) voltage mode (ISL6740)
and current mode (ISL6741) controllers is designed for a wide
range of power conversion applications using half-bridge, full
bridge, and push-pull configurations. These controllers provide
an extremely flexible oscillator that allows precise control of
frequency, duty cycle, and deadtime.
• Precision Duty Cycle and Deadtime Control
This advanced BiCMOS design features low operating current,
adjustable switching frequency up to 1MHz, adjustable softstart, internal and external over-temperature protection, fault
annunciation, and a bidirectional SYNC signal that allows the
oscillator to be locked to paralleled units or to an external
clock for noise sensitive applications.
• Bidirectional Synchronization

7. Compliance to datasheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization and/or design.
8. SYNC pulse width is the greater of this value or the CT discharge time.
9. This is the maximum duty cycle achievable using the specified values of RTC, RTD, and CT. Larger or smaller maximum duty cycles may be obtained
using other values for these components. See Equations 2 through 4.

Pin Descriptions
VDD - VDD is the power connection for the IC. To optimize noise
immunity, bypass VDD to GND with a ceramic capacitor as close
to the VDD and GND pins as possible.
The total supply current, IDD, will be dependent on the load
applied to outputs OUTA and OUTB. Total IDD current is the sum
of the quiescent current and the average output current. Knowing
the operating frequency, fSW, and the output loading capacitance
charge, Q, per output, the average output current can be
calculated from:
I OUT = 2 • Q • f SW

SYNC - A bidirectional synchronization signal used to coordinate
the switching frequency of multiple units. Synchronization may
be achieved by connecting the SYNC signal of each unit together
or by using an external master clock signal. The oscillator timing
capacitor, CT, is always required regardless of the
synchronization method used. The paralleled unit with the
highest oscillator frequency assumes control. Selfsynchronization is not recommended for oscillator frequencies
above 900kHz. For higher switching frequencies, an external
10
clock with a pulse width less than one-half of the oscillator period
must be used.
RTC - This is the oscillator timing capacitor charge current control
pin. A resistor is connected between this pin and GND. The
current flowing through the resistor determines the magnitude of
the charge current. The charge current is nominally twice this
current. The PWM maximum ON time is determined by the
timing capacitor charge duration.
RTD - This is the oscillator timing capacitor discharge current
control pin. A resistor is connected between this pin and GND.
The current flowing through the resistor determines the
magnitude of the discharge current. The discharge current is
nominally 50x this current. The PWM deadtime is determined by
the timing capacitor discharge duration.
CT - The oscillator timing capacitor is connected between this pin
and GND.
VERROR - The inverting input of the PWM comparator. The error
voltage is applied to this pin to control the duty cycle. Increasing
the signal level increases the duty cycle. The node may be driven
with an external error amplifier or opto-coupler.

ISL6740, ISL6741
The ISL6740, ISL6741 features a built-in soft-start. Soft-start is
implemented as a clamp on the error voltage input.
current limit characteristic of peak current mode control limits
the output current to acceptable levels.
OTS - The non-inverting input to the over-temperature shutdown
comparator. The signal input at this pin is compared to an
internal threshold of VREF/2. If the voltage at this pin exceeds the
threshold, the Fault signal is asserted and the outputs are
disabled until the condition clears. There is a nominal 25μA
switched current source used for hysteresis. The amount of
hysteresis is adjustable by varying the source impedance of the
signal into this pin.
GND - Reference and power ground for all functions on this
device. Due to high peak currents and high frequency operation,
a low impedance layout is necessary. Ground planes and short
traces are highly recommended.
OTS may be used to monitor parameters other than temperature,
such as voltage. Any signal for which a high out-of-bounds
monitor is desired may utilize the OTS comparator.
FAULT - The Fault signal is asserted high whenever the outputs,
OUTA and OUTB, are disabled. This occurs during an overtemperature fault, an input UV fault, a VREF UV fault, or during an
overcurrent (ISL6740) or short circuit shutdown fault. Fault can
be used to disable synchronous rectifiers whenever the outputs
are disabled.
Fault is a three-state output and is high impedance during the
soft-start cycle. Adding a pull-up resistor to VREF or a pull-down
resistor to ground determines the state of Fault during soft-start.
This feature allows the designer to use the Fault signal to enable
or disable output synchronous rectifiers during soft-start.
UV - Undervoltage monitor input pin. A resistor divider between
the input source voltage and GND sets the undervoltage lock out
threshold. The signal is compared to an internal 1.00V reference
to detect an undervoltage or inhibit condition.
CS - This is the input to the current sense comparator(s). The IC
has the PWM comparator for peak current mode control
(ISL6741) and an overcurrent protection comparator. The
overcurrent comparator threshold is set at 0.600V nominal.
The CS pin is shorted to GND at the end of each switching cycle.
Depending on the current sensing source impedance, a series
input resistor may be required due to the delay between the
internal clock and the external power switch. This delay may
allow an overlap such that the CS signal may be discharged while
the current signal is still active. If the current sense source is low
impedance, it will cause increased power dissipation.
ISL6740 - Exceeding the overcurrent threshold will start a
delayed shutdown sequence. Once an overcurrent condition is
detected, the soft-start charge current source is disabled. The
soft-start capacitor begins discharging through a 25μA current
source, and if it discharges to less than 4.25V (Sustained
Overcurrent Threshold), a shutdown condition occurs and the
OUTA and OUTB outputs are forced low. When the soft-start
voltage reaches 0.27V (Reset Threshold) a soft-start cycle begins.
An overcurrent condition must be absent for 50μs before the
delayed shutdown control resets. If the overcurrent condition
ceases, and an additional 50μs period elapses before the
shutdown threshold is reached, no shutdown occurs. The SS
charging current is re-enabled and the soft-start voltage is
allowed to recover.
ISL6741 - The ISL6741 current mode controller does not
shutdown due to an overcurrent condition. The pulse-by-pulse
11
OUTA and OUTB - Alternate half cycle output stages. Each output
is capable of 0.5A peak currents for driving logic level power
MOSFETs or MOSFET drivers. Each output provides very low
impedance to overshoot and undershoot.
VREF - The 5.00V reference voltage output. +1%/-2% tolerance
over line, load and operating temperature. Bypass to GND with a
0.047μF to 2.2μF ceramic capacitor. Capacitors outside of this
range may cause oscillation.
SS - Connect the soft-start timing capacitor between this pin and
GND to control the duration of soft-start. The value of the
capacitor determines the rate of increase of the duty cycle during
start up, controls the overcurrent shutdown delay (ISL6740), and
the overcurrent and short circuit hiccup restart period.
SCSET - Sets the duty cycle threshold that corresponds to a short
circuit condition. A resistive divider between RTC and GND or RTD
and GND, or a voltage between 0V and 2V may be used to adjust
the SCSET threshold. If using a resistor divider from either RTC or
RTD, the impedance to GND affects the oscillator timing and
should be considered when determining the oscillator timing
components. Connecting SCSET to GND disables short circuit
shutdown and hiccup.
Functional Description
Features
The ISL6740, ISL6741 PWMs are an excellent choice for low cost
bridge and push-pull topologies for applications requiring
accurate duty cycle and deadtime control. With its many
protection and control features, a highly flexible design with
minimal external components is possible. Among its many
features are current mode control (ISL6741), adjustable softstart, overcurrent protection, thermal protection, bidirectional
synchronization, fault indication, and adjustable frequency.
Oscillator
The ISL6740, ISL6741 have an oscillator with a programmable
frequency range to 2MHz, which can be programmed with two
resistors and capacitor. The use of three timing elements, RTC,
RTD, and CT allow great flexibility and precision when setting the
oscillator frequency.
The switching period may be considered the sum of the timing
capacitor charge and discharge durations. The charge duration is
determined by RTC and CT. The discharge duration is determined
by RTD and CT.

where tC and tD are the charge and discharge times, respectively,
tSW is the oscillator free running period, and f is the oscillator
frequency. One output switching cycle requires two oscillator
cycles. The actual times will be slightly longer than calculated
due to internal propagation delays of approximately
10ns/transition. This delay ads directly to the switching duration,
but also causes overshoot of the timing capacitor peak and valley
voltage thresholds, effectively increasing the peak-to-peak
voltage on the timing capacitor. Additionally, if very low charge
and discharge currents are used, there will be increased error
due to the input impedance at the CT pin.
The maximum duty cycle, D, and percent deadtime, DT, can be
calculated from:
tC
D = ---------t SW
(EQ. 5)
DT = 1 – D
(EQ. 6)
Implementing Synchronization
The oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock applied to
the SYNC pin or by connecting the SYNC pins of multiple ICs
together. If an external master clock signal is used, the free
running frequency of the oscillator should be ~10% slower than
the desired synchronous frequency. The external master clock
signal should have a pulse width greater than 20ns. The SYNC
circuitry will not respond to an external signal during the first
60% of the oscillator switching cycle. Self-synchronization is not
recommended for oscillator frequencies above 900 kHz. For
higher switching frequencies, an external clock with a pulse
width less than one-half of the oscillator period must be used.
The SYNC input is edge triggered and its duration does not affect
oscillator operation. However, the deadtime is affected by the
SYNC frequency. A higher frequency signal applied to the SYNC
input will shorten the deadtime. The shortened deadtime is the
result of the timing capacitor charge cycle being prematurely
terminated by the external SYNC pulse. Consequently, the timing
capacitor is not fully charged when the discharge cycle begins.
This effect is only a concern when an external master clock is
used, or if units with different operating frequencies are
paralleled.
recovery from a Fault condition or overcurrent/short circuit
shutdown. The soft-start voltage is clamped to 4.5V.
The Fault signal output is high impedance during the soft-start
cycle. A pull-up resistor to VREF or a pull-down resistor to ground
should be added to achieve the desired state of Fault during softstart.
Gate Drive
The ISL6740, ISL6741 are capable of sourcing and sinking 0.5A
peak current, but are primarily intended to be used in
conjunction with a MOSFET driver due to the 5V drive level. To
limit the peak current through the IC, an external resistor may be
placed between the totem-pole output of the IC (OUTA or OUTB
pin) and the gate of the MOSFET. This small series resistor also
damps any oscillations caused by the resonant tank of the
parasitic inductances in the traces of the board and the FET’s
input capacitance.
Undervoltage Monitor and Inhibit
The UV input is used for input source undervoltage lockout and
inhibit functions. If the node voltage falls below 1.00V a UV
shutdown fault occurs. This may be caused by low source voltage
or by intentional grounding of the pin to disable the outputs.
There is a nominal 10μA switched current source used to create
hysteresis. The current source is active only during an UV/Inhibit
fault; otherwise, it is inactive and does not affect the node
voltage. The magnitude of the hysteresis is a function of the
external resistor divider impedance. If the resistor divider
impedance results in too little hysteresis, a series resistor
between the UV pin and the divider may be used to increase the
hysteresis. A soft-start cycle begins when the UV/Inhibit fault
clears.
The voltage hysteresis created by the switched current source
and the external impedance is generally small due to the large
resistor divider ratio required to scale the input voltage down to
the UV threshold level. A small capacitor placed between the UV
input and ground may be required to filter noise out.
VIN
R1
Soft-start Operation
1.00V
The ISL6740, ISL6741 feature a soft-start using an external
capacitor in conjunction with an internal current source. soft-start
reduces stresses and surge currents during start up.
Upon start up, the soft-start circuitry clamps the error voltage
input (VERROR pin) indirectly to a value equal to the soft-start
voltage. The soft-start clamp does not actually clamp the error
voltage input as is done in many implementations. Rather the
PWM comparator has two inverting inputs such that the lower
voltage is in control.
The output pulse width increases as the soft-start capacitor
voltage increases. This has the effect of increasing the duty cycle
from zero to the regulation pulse width during the soft-start
period. When the soft-start voltage exceeds the error voltage,
soft-start is completed. soft-start occurs during start-up, after

Overcurrent Operation
ISL6740 - Overcurrent delayed shutdown is enabled once the
soft-start cycle is complete. If an overcurrent condition is
detected, the soft-start charging current source is disabled and
the soft-start capacitor is allowed to discharge through a 15μA
source. At the same time a 50μs re-triggerable one-shot timer is
activated. It remains active for 50μs after the overcurrent
condition ceases. If the soft-start capacitor discharges by more
then 0.25V to 4.25V, the output is disabled and the Fault signal
asserted. This state continues until the soft-start voltage reaches
270mV, at which time a new soft-start cycle is initiated. If the
overcurrent condition stops at least 50μs prior to the soft-start
voltage reaching 4.25V, the soft-start charging currents revert to
normal operation and the soft-start voltage is allowed to recover.
sets a threshold that is compared to the voltage on the timing
capacitor, CT. The resistor divider percentage corresponds to the
fraction of the maximum duty cycle below which a short circuit
may exist. If the timing capacitor voltage fails to exceed the
threshold before an overcurrent pulse is detected, a short circuit
condition exists. A shutdown and soft-start cycle will begin if 8
short circuit events occur within 32 oscillator cycles. Connecting
SCSET to GND disables this feature.
Since the current sourced from both RTC and RTD determine the
charge and discharge currents for the timing capacitor, the effect
of the SCSET divider must be included in the timing calculations.
Typically the resistor between RTC and GND is formed by two
series resistors with the center node connected to SCSET.
Alternatively, SCSET may be set using a voltage between 0V and
2V. This voltage divided by 2 determines the percentage of the
maximum duty cycle that corresponds to a short circuit when
current limit is active. For example, if the maximum duty cycle is
95% and 1V is applied to SCSET, then the short circuit duty cycle
is 50% of 95% or 47.5%.
Fault Conditions
A fault condition occurs if VREF falls below 4.65V, the UV input
falls below 1.00V, the thermal protection is triggered, or if OTS
faults. When a fault is detected, OUTA and OUTB outputs are
disabled, the Fault signal is asserted, and the soft-start capacitor
is quickly discharged. When the fault condition clears and the
soft-start voltage is below the reset threshold, a soft-start cycle
begins. The Fault signal is high impedance during the soft-start
cycle.
The duration of the OC shutdown period can be increased by
adding a resistor between VREF and SS. The value of the resistor
must be large enough so that the minimum specified SS
discharge current is not exceeded. Using a 422kΩ resistor, for
example, will result in a small current being injected into SS,
effectively reducing the discharge current. This will increase the
OFF time by about 60%, nominally. The external pull-up resistor
will also decrease the SS duration, so its effect should be
considered when selecting the value of the SS capacitor.
An overcurrent condition that results in shutdown (ISL6740), or a
short circuit shutdown also cause assertion of the Fault signal.
The difference between a current fault and the faults described
earlier is that the soft-start capacitor is not quickly discharged.
The initiation of a new soft-start cycle is delayed while the softstart capacitor is discharged at a 15μA rate. This keeps the
average output current to a minimum.
Latching OC shutdown is also possible by using a lower valued
resistor between VREF and SS. If the SS node is not allowed to
discharge below the SS reset threshold, the IC will not recover
from an overcurrent fault. The value of the resistor must be low
enough so that the maximum specified discharge current is not
sufficient to pull SS below 0.33V. A 200kΩ resistor, for example,
prevents SS from discharging below ~0.4V. Again, the external
pull-up resistor will decrease the SS duration, so its effect should
be considered when selecting the value of the SS capacitor.
Two methods of over-temperature protection are provided. The
first method is an on board temperature sensor that protects the
device should the junction temperature exceed 145°C. There is
approximately 15°C of hysteresis.
ISL6741 - Overcurrent results in pulse-by-pulse duty cycle
reduction as occurs in any peak current mode controller. This
results in a well controlled decrease in output voltage with
increasing current beyond the overcurrent threshold. An
overcurrent condition in the ISL6741 will not cause a shutdown.
Thermal Protection
The second method uses an internal comparator with a 2.5V
reference (VREF/2). The non-inverting input to the comparator is
accessible through the OTS pin. A thermistor or thermal sensor
located at or near the area of interest may be connected to this
input. There is a nominal 25μA switched current source used to
create hysteresis. The current source is active only during an OT
fault; otherwise, it is inactive and does not affect the node
voltage. The magnitude of the hysteresis is a function of the
external resistor divider impedance. Either a positive
temperature coefficient (PTC) or a negative temperature
Short Circuit Operation
A short circuit condition is defined as the simultaneous
occurrence of current limit and a reduced duty cycle. The degree
of reduced duty cycle is user adjustable using the SCSET input. A

The design of a transformer for a half-bridge application is a
straight forward affair, although iterative. It is a process of many
compromises, and even experienced designers will produce
different designs when presented with identical requirements.
The iterative design process is not presented here for clarity.
Typical Application
The Typical Application Schematic features the ISL6740 in an
unregulated half-bridge DC/DC converter configuration, often
referred to as a DC Transformer or Bus Regulator. The
ISL6740EVAL1 demonstration unit implements this design and is
available for evaluation.

The abbreviated design process follows:

• Select a core geometry suitable for the application.
Constraints of height, footprint, mounting preference, and
operating environment will affect the choice.
Using Faraday’s Law, V = N dΦ/dt, the number of primary turns
can be determined once the maximum flux density is set. An
acceptable Bmax is ultimately determined by the allowable
power dissipation in the ferrite material and is influenced by the
lossiness of the core, core geometry, operating ambient
temperature, and air flow. The TDK datasheet for PC44 material
indicates a core loss factor of ~400mW/cm3 with a ±2000
gauss 100kHz sinusoidal excitation. The application uses a
235kHz square wave excitation, so no direct comparison
between the application and the data can be made. Interpolation
of the data is required. The core volume is approximately
1.6cm3, so the estimated core loss is
• Determine the turns ratio.
• Select suitable core material(s).
• Select maximum flux density desired for operation.
• Select core size. Core size will be dictated by the capability of
the core structure to store the required energy, the number of
turns that have to be wound, and the wire gauge needed. Often
the window area (the space used for the windings) and power
loss determine the final core size.
• Determine maximum desired flux density. Depending on the
frequency of operation, the core material selected, and the
operating environment, the allowed flux density must be
determined. The decision of what flux density to allow is often
difficult to determine initially. Usually the highest flux density
that produces an acceptable design is used, but often the
winding geometry dictates a larger core than is indicated
based on flux density alone.
• Determine the number of primary turns.

also be acceptable, but the gate drive losses would increase.

were selected for the transformer core. The ferrite material is

The next step is to determine the equivalent wire gauge for the
planar structure. Since each secondary winding conducts for only

where D is the duty cycle. Since an FR-4 PWB planar winding
structure was selected, the width of the copper traces is limited
by the window area width, and the number of layers is limited by
the window area height. The PQ core selected has a usable
window area width of 0.165 inches. Allowing one turn per layer
and 0.020 inches clearance at the edges allows a maximum
trace width of 0.125 inches. Using 100 circular mils(c.m.)/A as a
guideline for current density, and from Equation 17, 707c.m. are
required for each of the secondary windings (a circular mil is the
area of a circle 0.001 inches in diameter). Converting c.m. to

the trace width results in a copper thickness of 4.44 mils

appears below.
One layer of each secondary winding also contains the
synchronous rectifier winding. For this layer the secondary trace
width is reduced by 0.025 inches to 0.100 inches(0.015 inches
for the SR winding trace width and 0.010 inches spacing
between the SR winding and the secondary winding).
The choice of copper weight may be validated by calculating the
DC copper losses of the secondary winding as follows. Ignoring
the terminal and lead-in resistance, the resistance of each layer
of the secondary may be approximated using Equation 18.

has a resistance of 4.25mΩ, and the outer trace has a resistance
of 5.52mΩ. The resistance of the primary then is 19.5mΩ at

Improved efficiency and thermal performance could be achieved
by selecting heavier copper weight for the windings. Evaluation in
the application will determine its need.

The order and geometry of the windings affects the AC
resistance, winding capacitance, and leakage inductance of the
finished transformer. To mitigate these effects, interleaving the
windings is necessary. The primary winding is sandwiched

transition voltage amplitude. If the leakage inductance energy is
too low, ZVS operation is not possible and near or partial ZVS
operation occurs. As the leakage energy increases, the voltage
amplitude increases until it is clamped by the FET body diode to
ground or VIN, depending on which FET conducts. When the
leakage energy exceeds the minimum required for ZVS
operation, the voltage is clamped until the energy is transferred.
This behavior increases the time window for ZVS operation. This
behavior is not without consequences, however. The transition
time and the period of time during which the voltage is clamped
reduces the effective duty cycle.
FIGURE 7E. INT. LAYER 4: 1 TURN SECONDARY WINDING
The gate charge affects the switching speed of the FETs. Higher
gate charge translates into higher drive requirements and/or
slower switching speeds. The energy required to drive the gates is
dissipated as heat.
The maximum input voltage, VIN, plus transient voltage,
determines the voltage rating required. With a maximum input
voltage of 53V for this application, and if we allow a 10% adder
for transients, a voltage rating of 60V or higher will suffice.
The RMS current through the each primary side FET can be
determined from Equation 17, substituting 5A of primary current
for IOUT. The result is 3.5A RMS. Fairchild FDS3672 FETs, rated at
100V and 7.5A (rDS(ON) = 22mΩ), were selected for the halfbridge switches.

The synchronous rectifier FETs must withstand approximately
one half of the input voltage assuming no switching transients
are present. This suggests a device capable of withstanding at
least 30V is required. Empirical testing in the circuit revealed
switching transients of 20V were present across the device
indicating a rating of at least 60V is required.
The RMS current rating of 7.07A for each SR FET requires a low
rDS(ON) to minimize conduction losses, which is difficult to find in a
60V device. It was decided to use two devices in parallel to simplify
the thermal design. Two Fairchild FDS5670 devices are used in
parallel for a total of four SR FETs. The FDS5670 is rated at 60V
and 10A (rDS(ON) = 14mΩ).

MOSFET Selection
The criteria for selection of the primary side half-bridge FETs and
the secondary side synchronous rectifier FETs is largely based on
the current and voltage rating of the device. However, the FET
drain-source capacitance and gate charge cannot be ignored.
The zero voltage switch (ZVS) transition timing is dependent on
the transformer’s leakage inductance and the capacitance at the
node between the upper FET source and the lower FET drain. The
node capacitance is comprised of the drain-source capacitance
of the FETs and the transformer parasitic capacitance. The
leakage inductance and capacitance form an LC resonant tank
circuit which determines the duration of the transition. The
amount of energy stored in the LC tank circuit determines the
17
The desired operating frequency of 235kHz for the converter was
established in “Design Criteria” on page 14. The oscillator
frequency operates at twice the frequency of the converter
because two clock cycles are required for a complete converter
period.
During each oscillator cycle the timing capacitor, CT, must be
charged and discharged. Determining the required discharge
time to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) is the critical design
goal in selecting the timing components. The discharge time sets
the deadtime between the two outputs, and is the same as ZVS
transition time. Once the discharge time is determined, the
remainder of the period becomes the charge time.
The ZVS transition duration is determined by the transformer’s
primary leakage inductance, Llk, by the FET Coss, by the
transformer’s parasitic winding capacitance, and by any other
parasitic elements on the node. The parameters may be

Device output capacitance, Coss, is non-linear with applied
voltage. To find the equivalent discrete capacitance, Cfet, a
charge model is used. Using a known current source, the time
required to charge the MOSFET drain to the desired operating
voltage is determined and the equivalent capacitance is
calculated.

Once the estimated transition time is determined, it must be
verified directly in the application. The transformer leakage
inductance was measured at 125nH and the combined
capacitance was estimated at 2000pF. Calculations indicate a
transition period of ~ 25ns. Verification of the performance
yielded a value of tD closer to 45ns.
The remainder of the switching half-period is the charge time, tC,

Using Figure 4, the capacitor value appropriate to the desired
oscillator operating frequency of 470kHz can be selected. A CT
value of 100pF, 220pF, or 330pF is appropriate for this
frequency. A value of 220pF was selected.
To obtain the proper value for RTD, Equation 3 is used. Since
there is a 10ns propagation delay in the oscillator circuit, it must
be included in the calculation. The value of RTD selected is
8.06kΩ.
A similar procedure is used to determine the value of RTC using
Equation 2. The value of RTC selected is the series combination of
17.4kΩ and 1.27kΩ. See section “Overcurrent Component
Selection” on page 18 for further explanation.
VOUT is the output voltage
If we allow a current ramp, ΔI, of 5% of the rated output current,
the minimum inductance required is:

The output filter inductor and capacitor selection is simple and
straightforward. Under steady state operating conditions the
voltage across the inductor is very small due to the large duty
cycle. Voltage is applied across the inductor only during the
switch transition time, about 45ns in this application. Ignoring
the voltage drop across the SR FETs, the voltage across the
inductor during the ON time with VIN = 48V is:
V IN • N S • ( 1 – D )
V L = V S – V OUT = --------------------------------------------- ≈ 250
2N P
mV
(EQ. 23)
An inductor value of 1.4μH, rated for 18A was selected.
With a maximum input voltage of 53V, the maximum output
voltage is about 13V. The closest higher voltage rated capacitor
is 16V. Under steady state operating conditions the ripple current
in the capacitor is small, so it would seem appropriate to have a
low ripple current rated capacitor. However, a high rated ripple
current capacitor was selected based on the nature of the
intended load, multiple buck regulators. To minimize the output
impedance of the filter, a Sanyo OSCON 16SH150M capacitor in
parallel with a 22μF ceramic capacitor were selected.
Overcurrent Component Selection
There are two circuit areas to consider when selecting the
components for overcurrent protection, current limit and short
circuit shutdown. The current limit threshold is fixed at 0.6V while
the short circuit threshold is set to a fraction of the duty cycle the
designer wishes to define as a short circuit.
The current level that corresponds to the overcurrent threshold
must be chosen to allow for the dynamic behavior of an open
loop converter. In particular, the low inductor ripple current under
steady state operation increases significantly as the duty cycle
decreases.

The short circuit protection involves setting a voltage between 0
and 2V on the SCSET pin. The applied voltage divided by 2 is the
percent of maximum duty cycle that corresponds to a short
circuit when the peak current limit is active. A divider from RTC to
ground provides an easy method to achieve this. The divider
between RTC and GND formed by R13 and R15 determines the
percent of maximum duty cycle that corresponds to a short
circuit. The divider ratio formed by R13 and R15 is:

OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V)
Figures 8 and 9 show the behavior of the inductor ripple under
steady state and overcurrent conditions. In this example, the
peak current limit is set at 11A. The peak current limit causes
the duty cycle to decrease resulting in a reduction of the average
current through the inductor. The implication is that the converter
can not supply the same output current in current limit that it can
supply under steady state conditions. The peak current limit
setpoint must take this behavior into consideration. A 3.32Ω
current sense resistor was selected for the rectified secondary of
current transformer T2, corresponding to a peak current limit
setpoint of 16.5A.

As expected, the output voltage varies considerably with line and

feedback. However, for applications where tight regulation is not
required, such as those application that use downstream DC/DC
converters, this design approach is viable.

FIGURE 18. VOLTAGE FEED FORWARD CIRCUIT
The circuit provides feed forward compensation for a 2:1 input
voltage range. Resistors R100 and R101 set the input voltage
divider to generate a 1V signal at the input voltage that
corresponds to maximum duty cycle (VIN minimum). Resistors
R109, R110, and R111 form a voltage divider from VREF to create
reference voltages for the amplifiers. The first stage uses U100A,
R102, R103, R104, and C100 to form a unity gain inverting
amplifier. Its output varies inversely with input voltage and
ranges from 1V to 2V. The bandwidth of the circuit may be
controlled by varying the value of C100. The gain of the first

The second stage uses U100B, R105, R106, R107, and R108 to
form a summing amplifier which offsets the first stage output by
0.8V (the value of CT valley voltage). The signal applied to the
VERROR input now matches the offset and amplitude of the
oscillator sawtooth so that the duty cycle varies linearly from
100% to 50% of maximum with a 2:1 input voltage variation.

Other duty ranges are possible, but are still limited to a 2:1 ratio.
The voltage applied to VERROR must be scaled to the peak-topeak voltage on CT, and offset by the valley voltage. Since the
peak-to-peak CT voltage is 2.00V nominal, the voltage at the
output of U100A must be divided by 2.0V to obtain the desired
duty cycle. For example, if an 80% duty cycle was required at the
minimum operating voltage, the output of U100A must be 1.60V
(80% of 2.00V). From (Equation 25), the divider voltage must be
set to 1.4V for the input voltage that corresponds to the 80% duty
cycle.
It should be noted that the synchronous rectifiers (SRs), being
driven from the transformer secondary, are only gated on during
the ON time of the primary FETs. Conduction continues through
the body diodes during the OFF time when operating in
continuous inductor current mode. This mode of operation
usually results in significant conduction and switching losses in
the SR FETs. These losses may be reduced considerably by either
adding schottky diodes in parallel to the SR FETs or by driving the
SR FETs directly with a control signal.

Adding Regulation - Closed Loop Feedback
The second Typical Application schematic adds closed loop
feedback with isolation. The ISL6740EVAL2Z demonstration
platform implements this design and is available for evaluation.
The input voltage range was increased to 36V to 75V, which
necessitates a few modifications to the open loop design. The
output inductor value was increased to 4.0μH, schottky rectifier
CR4 was added to minimize SR FET body diode conduction, the
turns ratio of the main transformer was changed to 4:3, and the
synchronous rectifier gate drives were modified. The design
process is essentially the same as it was for the unregulated
version, so only the feedback control loop design will be
discussed.
The major components of the feedback control loop are a
programmable shunt regulator and an opto-coupler. The optocoupler is used to transfer the error signal across the isolation
barrier. The opto-coupler offers a convenient means to cross the
isolation barrier, but it adds complexity to the feedback control
loop. It adds a pole at about 10kHz and a significant amount of
gain variation due the current transfer ratio (CTR). The CTR of the
opto-coupler varies with initial tolerance, temperature, forward
current, and age.

The higher the desired bandwidth of the converter, the more
difficult it is to create a solution that is stable over the entire
operating range. A good rule of thumb is to limit the bandwidth to
about fSW/4, where fSW is the switching frequency of the
converter. However, due to the bandwidth constraints of the optocoupler and the LM431 shunt regulator, the bandwidth was
reduced to about 25kHz.

peaking at the L-C resonant frequency, the two zeroes are often
separated. When they are separated, the first zero may be placed
at fLC/5, and the second at just above fLC. The second pole is
placed at the lowest expected zero cause by the output capacitor
ESR. The third, and last pole is placed at about 1.5 times the

From (Equation 26), it can be seen that the control to output
transfer function frequency dependence is a function of the
output load resistance, the value of output capacitor and
inductor, and the output capacitance ESR. These variations must
be considered when compensating the control loop. The worst

Using the control-to-output transfer function combined with the
EA transfer function, the loop gain and phase may be predicted.
The predicted loop gain and phase margin of the converter

as the FET on resistance, copper losses, and inductor resistance.
The phase discrepancy above 60kHz is not particularly relevant
to the loop performance since it occurs well above the cross over
frequency. The predicted behavior indicates a much gentler drop
off of phase than was observed in the measured performance.
The discrepancy was not investigated.

The efficiency, although very good, could be further improved
using a controlled SR method instead of using a self-driven
method with an auxiliary schottky diode. The schottky diode
conducts when the main switching FETs are off. Its forward
voltage drop is considerably larger than that of the SR FETs and
causes a measurable reduction in efficiency. The effect becomes
more significant as the input voltage is increased due to the
reduction of duty cycle (and consequent increase in the OFF
time).
The only major discrepancies between the predicted behavior
and the measured results are the Q of the L-C filter and the phase
behavior above 60kHz. The actual Q appears to be significantly
less than predicted resulting in less gain peaking and a less rapid
phase shift near the resonant frequency. This is most likely the
result of neglecting other losses in the converter’s output, such
