6A Dual Synchronous Buck Regulator
with Integrated MOSFETs
Features
The ISL65426EVAL1Z is a high efficiency dual output
monolithic synchronous buck converter operating over an
input voltage range of 2.375V to 5.5V. This single chip power
solution provides two output voltages, which are selectable
or externally adjustable from 1V to 80% of the supply voltage
while delivering up to 6A of total output current. The two
PWMs are synchronized 180° out of phase reducing the
RMS input current and ripple voltage.
• Fixed Frequency: 1MHz
The ISL65426EVAL1Z switches at a fixed frequency of
1MHz and utilizes current-mode control with integrated
compensation to minimize the size and number of external
components and provide excellent transient response. The
internal synchronous power switches are optimized for good
thermal performance, high efficiency, and eliminate the need
for an external Schottky diode.
A unique power block architecture allows partitioning of six
1A capable blocks to support one of four configuration
options. One master power block is associated with each
synchronous converter channel. Four floating slave power
blocks allow the user to assign them to either channel.
Proper external configuration of the power blocks is verified
internally prior to soft-start initialization.
Independent enable inputs allow for synchronization or
sequencing soft-start intervals of the two converter channels.
A third enable input allows additional sequencing for multi
input bias supply designs. Individual power good indicators
(PG1, PG2) signal when output voltage is within regulation
window.
The ISL65426EVAL1Z integrates protection for both
synchronous buck regulator channels. The fault conditions
include overcurrent, undervoltage, and IC thermal monitor.
High integration contained in a thin Quad Flat No-lead (QFN)
package makes the ISL65426EVAL1Z an ideal choice to
power many of today’s small form factor applications. A
single chip solution for large scale digital ICs, like field
programmable gate arrays (FPGA), requiring separate core
and I/O voltages.
