Compact Synchronous Buck Converters
ISL80020, ISL80020A, ISL80015, ISL80015A
The ISL80020, ISL80020A, ISL80015 and ISL80015A are highly
Features
efficient, monolithic, synchronous step-down DC/DC converters
that can deliver up to 2A of continuous output current from a 2.7V
to 5.5V input supply. They use peak current mode control
architecture to allow very low duty cycle operation. They operate
at either 1MHz or 2MHz switching frequency, thereby providing
superior transient response and allowing for the use of small
inductors. They have excellent stability.
• VIN range 2.7V to 5.5V
• IOUT maximum is 1.5A or 2A (see Table 1 on page 2)
• Switching frequency is 1MHz or 2MHz (see Table 1 on page 2)
• Overcurrent and short circuit protection
• Over-temperature/thermal protection
The ISL80020, ISL80020A, ISL80015 and ISL80015A integrate
very low rDS(ON) MOSFETs in order to maximize efficiency. In
addition, since the high-side MOSFET is a PMOS, the need for a
Boot capacitor is eliminated, thereby reducing external
component count. They can operate at 100% duty cycle
(at 1MHz).
• Negative current protection
The device is configured in PWM (pulse width modulation) for
fast transient response, which helps reduce the output noise
and RF interference.
• Up to 95% peak efficiency
• Power-good and enable
• 100% duty cycle (1MHZ)
• Internal soft-start and soft-stop
• VIN undervoltage lockout and VOUT overvoltage protection
Applications
These devices are offered in a space saving 8 pin 2mmx2mm
TDFN lead free package with exposed pad for improved thermal
performance. The complete converter occupies less than
64mm2 area.

limits. There is an internal 5MΩ internal pull-up resistor on this pin.
5
FB
Feedback pin for the regulator. FB is the negative input to the voltage loop error amplifier. The output voltage is set by
an external resistor divider connected to FB. In addition, the power-good PWM regulator’s power-good and undervoltage
protection circuits use FB to monitor the output voltage.

7
PGND
Power and analog ground connections. Connect directly to the board GROUND plane.
8
PHASE
Power stage switching node for output voltage regulation. Connect to the output inductor. This pin is discharged by an
100Ω resistor when the device is disabled. See Figure 3, “FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM” on page 4 for details.
9
E PAD
The exposed pad must be connected to the PGND pin for proper electrical performance. Place as many vias as possible
under the pad connecting to the PGND plane for optimal thermal performance.

Theory of Operation
The device is a step-down switching regulator optimized for battery
powered applications. It operates at a high switching frequency
(1MHz or 2MHz), which enables the use of smaller inductors
resulting in small form factor, while also providing excellent
efficiency. The quiescent current is typically only 1.2µA when the
regulator is shut down.
PWM Control Scheme
The device employs the current-mode pulse-width modulation
(PWM) control scheme for fast transient response and
pulse-by-pulse current limiting. See “Functional Block Diagram” on
page 4. The current loop consists of the oscillator, the PWM
comparator, current sensing circuit and the slope compensation for
the current loop stability. The slope compensation is 900mV/Ts,
which changes with frequency. The gain for the current sensing
circuit is typically 300mV/A. The control reference for the current
loops comes from the error amplifier's (EAMP) output.
The PWM operation is initialized by the clock from the oscillator.
The P-channel MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of a PWM
cycle and the current in the MOSFET starts to ramp-up. When the
sum of the current amplifier CSA and the slope compensation
reaches the control reference of the current loop, the PWM
comparator COMP sends a signal to the PWM logic to turn off the
P-FET and turn on the N-Channel MOSFET. The N-FET stays on until
the end of the PWM cycle. Figure 26 shows the typical operating
waveforms during the PWM operation. The dotted lines illustrate
the sum of the slope compensation ramp and the current-sense
amplifier’s CSA output.

CYCLE
turn off the P-FET immediately. The overcurrent function protects
the switching converter from a shorted output by monitoring the
current flowing through the upper MOSFET.
Upon detection of overcurrent condition, the upper MOSFET will
be immediately turned off and will not be turned on again until
the next switching cycle. If the overcurrent condition goes away,
the output will resume back into regulation point.
Short-Circuit Protection
The short-circuit protection (SCP) comparator monitors the VFB
pin voltage for output short-circuit protection. When the VFB is
lower than 0.3V, the SCP comparator forces the PWM oscillator
frequency to drop to 1/3 of the normal operation value. This
comparator is effective during start-up or an output short-circuit
event.
Negative Current Protection
Similar to the overcurrent, the negative current protection is
realized by monitoring the current across the low-side N-FET, as
shown in the “Functional Block Diagram” on page 4. When the
valley point of the inductor current reaches -1.5A for 2 consecutive
cycles, both P-FET and N-FET shut off. The 100Ω in parallel to the
N-FET will activate discharging the output into regulation. The
control will begin to switch when output is within regulation.
PG
PG is an output of a window comparator that continuously monitors
the buck regulator output voltage. PG is actively held low when EN is
low and during the buck regulator soft-start period. After 1ms delay
of the soft-start period, PG becomes high impedance as-long-as the
output voltage is within nominal regulation voltage set by VFB.
When VFB drops 15% below or raises 15% above the nominal
regulation voltage, the device pulls PG low. Any fault condition forces
PG low until the fault condition is cleared by attempts to soft-start.
There is an internal 5MΩ pull-up resistor to fit most applications. An
external resistor can be added from PG to VIN for more pull-up
strength.
UVLO
IL
When the input voltage is below the undervoltage lock-out (UVLO)
threshold, the regulator is disabled.

FIGURE 26. PWM OPERATION WAVEFORMS
The reference voltage is 0.6V, which is used by Feedback to
adjust the output of the error amplifier, VEAMP. The error
amplifier is a trans conductance amplifier that converts the
voltage error signal to a current output. The voltage loop is
internally compensated with the 27pF and 200kΩ RC network.
The maximum EAMP voltage output is precisely clamped to 1.6V.
Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent protection is realized by monitoring the CSA
output with the OCP comparator, as shown in the “Functional
Block Diagram” on page 4. The current sensing circuit has a gain
of 300mV/A, from the P-FET current to the CSA output. When the
CSA output reaches a threshold, the OCP comparator is tripped to

After the VIN pin exceeds its rising POR trip point (nominal 2.5V),
the device begins operation. If the EN pin is held low externally,
nothing happens until this pin is released. Once the EN is
released and above the logic threshold, the internal default
soft-start time is 1ms.
Discharge Mode (Soft-stop)
When a transition to shutdown mode occurs or the VIN UVLO is set,
the outputs discharge to GND through an internal 100Ω switch.
Thermal Shutdown
The device has built-in thermal protection. When the internal
temperature reaches +150°C, the regulator is completely
shutdown. As the temperature drops to +125°C, the device resume
operation by stepping through the soft-start.

Power Derating Characteristics
for optimized performance. The inductor ripple current can be
expressed as shown in Equation 4:
To prevent the device from exceeding the maximum junction
temperature, some thermal analysis is required. The
temperature rise is given by Equation 2:
(EQ. 2)
T RISE =  PD    JA 
Where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA is the
thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the ambient
temperature. The junction temperature, TJ, is given by
Equation 3:
(EQ. 3)
T J =  T A + T RISE 
Where TA is the ambient temperature. For the DFN package, the
θJA is +71°C/W.
The actual junction temperature should not exceed the absolute
maximum junction temperature of +125°C when considering
the thermal design.
The device delivers full current at ambient temperatures up to
+85°C if the thermal impedance from the thermal pad
maintains the junction temperature below the thermal shutdown
level, depending on the input voltage/output voltage
combination and the switching frequency. The device power
dissipation must be reduced to maintain the junction
temperature at or below the thermal shutdown level. Figure 27
illustrates the approximate output current derating curve versus
ambient temperature for the ISL80020EVAL1Z kit.

The inductor’s saturation current rating needs to be at least

The device uses an internal compensation network and the
output capacitor value is dependent on the output voltage. The
ceramic capacitor is recommended to be X5R or X7R.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the regulator can be programmed via an
external resistor divider that is used to scale the output voltage
relative to the internal reference voltage and feed it back to the
inverting input of the error amplifier.
The output voltage programming resistor, R1, will depend on the
value chosen for the feedback resistor and the desired output
voltage of the regulator. The value for the feedback resistor is
typically between 10kΩ and 100kΩas shown in Equation 5.

Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection
To consider steady state and transient operations, the
ISL80020A and ISL80015A typically requires a 1.2µH, while the
ISL80020 and ISL80015 typically requires a 2.2µH output
inductor. Higher or lower inductor values can be used to optimize
the total converter system performance. For example, for higher
output voltage 3.3V application, in order to decrease the inductor
ripple current and output voltage ripple, the output inductor value
can be increased. It is recommended to set the inductor ripple
current to be approximately 30% of the maximum output current

An output capacitor is required to filter the inductor current.
Output ripple voltage and transient response are two critical
factors when considering output capacitance choice. The current
mode control loop allows for the usage of low ESR ceramic
capacitors and thus smaller board layout. Electrolytic and
polymer capacitors may also be used.
Additional consideration applies to ceramic capacitors. While
they offer excellent overall performance and reliability, the actual
in-circuit capacitance must be considered. Ceramic capacitors
are rated using large peak-to-peak voltage swings and with no DC
bias. In the DC/DC converter application, these conditions do not
reflect reality. As a result, the actual capacitance may be
considerably lower than the advertised value. Consult the
manufacturers datasheet to determine the actual in-application
capacitance. Most manufacturers publish capacitance vs DC bias
so this effect can be easily accommodated. The effects of AC
voltage are not frequently published, but an assumption of ~20%
further reduction will generally suffice. The result of these
considerations can easily result in an effective capacitance 50%
lower than the rated value. Nonetheless, they are a very good

choice in many applications due to their reliability and extremely
low ESR.
Equations 6 and 7 allow calculation of the required capacitance
to meet a desired ripple voltage level. Additional capacitance
may be used.
For the ceramic capacitors (low ESR) =
I
V OUTripple = ------------------------------------8 f SW C OUT
(EQ. 6)
Where I is the inductor’s peak-to-peak ripple current, fSW is the
switching frequency and COUT is the output capacitor.
If using electrolytic capacitors then:
V OUTripple = I*ESR
(EQ. 7)
Regarding transient response needs, a good starting point is to
determine the allowable overshoot in VOUT if the load is suddenly
removed. In this case, energy stored in the inductor will be
transferred to COUT causing its voltage to rise. After calculating
capacitance required for both ripple and transient needs, choose
the larger of the calculated values. Equation 8 determines the
required output capacitor value in order to achieve a desired
overshoot relative to the regulated voltage.

Where VOUTMAX/VOUT is the relative maximum overshoot
allowed during the removal of the load. For an overshoot of 5%,
the equation becomes Equation 9:

C OUT = ----------------------------------------------------V OUT 2 *  1.05 2 – 1 
(EQ. 9)
Layout Considerations
The PCB layout is a very important converter design step to make
sure the designed converter works well. The power loop is
composed of the output inductor L’s, the output capacitor COUT,
the PHASE’s pins and the PGND pin. It is necessary to make the
power loop as small as possible and the connecting traces
among them should be direct, short and wide. The switching
node of the converter, the PHASE pins and the traces connected
to the node are very noisy, so keep the voltage feedback trace
away from these noisy traces. The input capacitor should be
placed as closely as possible to the VIN pin and the ground of the
input and output capacitors should be connected as closely as
possible. The heat of the IC is mainly dissipated through the
thermal pad. Maximizing the copper area connected to the
thermal pad is preferable. In addition, a solid ground plane is
helpful for better EMI performance. It is recommended to add at
least 4 vias ground connection within the pad for the best
thermal relief.
