DATASHEET

High Efficiency 5V, 10A Buck Regulator
ISL95210
Features
The ISL95210 is a high-efficiency step-down regulator that can
deliver 10A of output current from a 5V input. The small
4mmx6mm QFN package and only four external components
provide a very small total solution size. Low resistance internal
MOSFETs deliver excellent efficiency and permit full power
operation in a +90°C ambient without airflow.
• 10A Continuous Output Current
The regulator operates from an input voltage of 2.97V to 5.5V,
and provides a 0.6% accurate output voltage over the full
operating temperature range. Intersil's patented R4™ control
architecture provides exceptional transient response with no
external compensation components. The output voltage may be
programmed by an internal DAC or by an external resistor divider
(see “Output Voltage Programming” on page 11 for more
details).
Several digital control signals provide flexibility for users that
want additional features. Switching frequency, switching mode,
output voltage margining and daisy-chained power-good
functions are all programmed by these pins. The ISL95210 also
includes comprehensive internal protection for overvoltage,
undervoltage, overcurrent and over-temperature conditions.
• 2.97V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
• Up to 95% Efficiency
• Full Power Operation in +90°C Ambient without Airflow

T-PAD
(Thermal Pad)
PGND
Power ground. This thermal pad provides a return path for power stage and switching currents, as well as a thermal path
for removing heat from the IC into the board. Place thermal vias in the pad to the PGND plane.
1
FCCM
Logic input for operating mode selection. Connect this pin to VCC for CCM regulation only. Connect this pin to AGND to allow
discontinuous conduction mode for light-load efficiency. Float this pin for audio mode light-load switching.
2
FSET
Tri-state digital input for programming the regulator switching frequency. Pull this pin to VCC for 800kHz switching. Pull this
pin to GND for 400kHz switching. Leave this pin floating for 533kHz switching.
3
EN
Logic input for enabling and disabling output voltage regulation. Pull this pin to VCC to begin regulation. Pull this pin to AGND
to disable regulation.
4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10
PHASE
Power stage switching node for output voltage regulation. Connect to the output inductor. All PHASE pins must be electrically
connected together on the printed circuit board.
11
DNC
12, 13, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23
PGND
Power ground. This pin provides a return path for power stage and switching currents. All PGND pins must be electrically
connected together on the printed circuit board.
14, 15
PVCC
Power input for the integrated MOSFET gate drivers. Connect to a 5V (±10%) supply. Both PVCC pins must be shorted on
the printed circuit board. VIN and PVCC may be tied together (see Figure 1) when operating from a nominal 5V supply.
However, PVCC requires a 5V (±10%) supply irrespective of VIN. It is connected to VCC through an integrated 10Ω resistor
and therefore doubles as the power supply for IC bias. If VIN is below 4.5V, PVCC must receive a separate power supply
input and decoupling capacitor (1µF typical).
16, 17, 18
VIN
Power input for buck regulation stage. Bypass to PGND with one 10µF or 22µF ceramic capacitor. Connect to a 2.97V to
5.5V supply. All VIN pins must be electrically connected together on the printed circuit board.
24
PG_IN
Input voltage for the power-good CMOS output. Connect this pin to the desired PGOOD output high level.
25
PGOOD
Active CMOS output for power-good indication. High state is indicated when the output voltage is in regulation, and output
is logic low otherwise. Logic high level is set by the voltage on the PG_IN pin.
26
VSEL1
DAC logic MSB input. Used to program preset output voltages of 0.60V, 0.75V, 0.90V, 1.00V, 1.05V, 1.10V, 1.20V, 1.50V,
and 1.80V.
27
VSEL0
DAC logic LSB input. Used to program preset output voltages of 0.60V, 0.75V, 0.90V, 1.00V, 1.05V, 1.10V, 1.20V, 1.50V,
and 1.80V.
Do not connect. This pin must be left floating under all conditions.

AGND
Ground reference for analog signals. Connect this pin to the ground plane.
29
VOUT
Sense point for output voltage regulation and output soft-discharge. Connect to the desired regulation point. A resistor divider
can be used to program VOUT away from preset DAC and MARGIN values. However, the divider must not set VOUT more than
5% from the programmed value. See “Output Voltage Programming” on page 11 and Figure 34 for more information on this
implementation.
30
VCC
Power supply input used for regulator bias and precision references. Place a high frequency ceramic capacitor (0.1µF to
1µF) to AGND. PVCC provides power to VCC through an integrated 10Ω resistor.
31
MPCT
3-state logic input for programming the amount of output voltage margining as controlled by the MSEL pin. Pull the pin to
GND for ±15% margining, to VCC for ±20% margining, and float the pin for ±10% margining.
32
MSEL
Digital input for control of output voltage margining. Pull this pin to VCC to margin the output voltage to the high value.
Leave this pin floating to margin the output voltage low. Pull this pin to AGND to regulate the nominally programmed output
voltage value. The margin amount is dictated by the MPCT pin.

ISL95210
Theory of Operation
Output Voltage Programming
The following sections will provide a detailed description of the
inner workings of the ISL95210 10A integrated FET regulator.
The highly integrated nature of the ISL95210 simplifies design
and reduces component count. The VSEL0 and VSEL1 pins are
3-state logic inputs to an integrated DAC that controls the output
voltage set point as prescribed in Table 1.
Start -Up
The ISL95210 will not respond to any logic inputs until VCC and
PVCC are above the power-on reset (POR) level as described in
the “Electrical Specifications” table on page 5. Once the POR
condition is achieved, the ISL95210 will then acknowledge the
states of its logic inputs. If the EN pin is pulled above the rising
threshold, the regulator is commanded on and the soft-start
sequence is initiated.
During soft-start, the programmed output voltage set point is
determined by the logic states of VSEL0, VSEL1, MPCT and MSEL.
The output then ramps digitally to the regulation voltage in
2.5mV/µs steps. Once the output voltage achieves regulation,
the power-good monitor output (PGOOD) is toggled high to the
voltage provided on the PG_IN pin. Figure 25 illustrates the ideal
soft-start behavior.

This allows the user to program the output voltage without the
use of a resistor divider network. However, if the user wishes to
program values of VOUT away from the DAC values, a resistor
divider can be used. However, because the input impedance of
the VOUT pin is relatively low, the top resistor in the divider stack
(R1 in Figure 31) must be kept small to minimize regulation error
as the internal resistance changes over-temperature and process
tolerances. A 100Ω resistor is recommended. The bottom

In addition to digitally controlled output voltage programming,
the ISL95210 includes the ability to margin the output voltage up

STABILITY
The R4™ balanced architecture creates a control loop that does
not require compensation for an extremely wide range of output
filters (LOUT, COUT). However, there are corners of operation that
will destabilize the loop and result in oscillatory behavior in VOUT.
The filters that push the control loop toward instability are ones
that add a considerable amount of phase delay to the output
voltage. In general, phase delay increases as output capacitance
decreases in conjunction with reduced output capacitor
equivalent series resistance (ESR). For this reason, output filters
that are all-ceramic based have the most difficulty achieving
stable regulation.

Regulation
R4™ MODULATOR
The R4 modulator is an advanced current-mode hysteretic
control scheme that generates a synthetic current signal on chip
instead of measuring real current. This has the benefit of
producing a cleaner and lower jitter system versus conventional
current-mode hysteretic architectures.
R4™ also employs a highly balanced architecture that greatly
reduces the need for high DC loop gain traditionally required for
output voltage regulation accuracy. This allows the R4™
modulator to accurately regulate without the need for an
integrator in the feedback loop. Another benefit of the balanced
system is that it does not require compensation for stability over
a wide range of designs. The result is a power solution that is
12
The first indication that the ISL95210 is nearing instability is
when its step load response begins to have ring-back. Ring-back
occurs when the PWM on pulse in response to a sharp increase
in output load is so long as to cause the output voltage to
overshoot the regulation point before fully recovering. Equation 4
approximates the boundary condition between normal recovery
and ring-back as a function of operating parameters
(EQ. 4)
-
COUT = Total output capacitance in Farads
LOUT = Output inductance in Henries
D = Steady-state duty cycle (VOUT / VIN)
ESR = Output capacitor equivalent series resistance
ISTEP = Expected load step (worst case is preferred)
ΔIL = Inductor ripple current
FSW = Switching frequency
K = Modulator factor:
- 3700 for 400kHz FSW
- 4933 for 533kHz FSW
- 7400 for 800kHz FSW
As good design practices dictate, a system should be designed
safely away from this boundary to cover any tolerance shifts that
may occur. For example, if the output capacitor in Figure 1 is
replaced with low-ESR ceramics and reduced until the inequality
FN6938.4

in Equation 4 is not met, transient ring-back performance similar
to what is shown in Figure 27 will occur.

This result shows a clean, stable solution when the inequality is
satisfied. It should be noted that when the capacitance in this
example is decremented between 120µF and 76µF, the severity
and frequency of ring-back increases. It can occur prior to
violating Equation 4. This is due to the non-idealities that exist in
real systems and some simplifications in the derivation process.
Care should be taken to design away from the boundary
condition. The above example became fully stable (zero
ring-back) when the inequality’s percentage difference was
~35%.

In this example, the total output capacitance was 76µF with an
ESR of approximately 1mΩ. When the values are put into
Equation 4, the inequality is not met:
x 3.12·10-7 > 3.25·10-7
If additional ceramics are added to increase COUT to 120µF with
an ESR of approximately 0.67mΩ, the ring-back condition is
eliminated, providing the transient results seen in Figure 28.
As with all current-mode hysteretic style controllers, the
ISL95210 will increase and decrease switching frequency in
response to load transient events. This oversampling quickens
the converters response and minimizes output voltage deviation.
The change in frequency is achieved by the movement on the
COMP voltage seen in Figure 26. When the load current changes
up or down, there is an proportional movement on COMP. The
movement on COMP naturally changes the hysteretic window
size for both PWM edges. Upward swings in COMP (due to
increasing load current) make the effective hysteretic window
larger during PWM on times and smaller during PWM off times.
The result is increased switching frequency.
Conversely, downward swings in COMP (due to decreasing load
current) make the effective hysteretic window smaller during
PWM on times and larger during PWM off times. Switching
frequency is reduced in this scenario. Figure 29 illustrates the
idealized effect on switching frequency from movements in
COMP in response to load transient events.

Unlike more traditional current-mode hysteretic architectures,
R4™ does not require an error-integrating capacitor in the
feedback loop. This removes significant delay in the control loop
and produces extremely fast transient response to changes in
load current.
The speed of response allows system designers to use less
output capacitance and save on board area and cost.

PGOOD low and tri-states the PHASE node by turning off both
integrated power MOSFETs. In addition, the soft-discharge

TRANSIENT RESPONSE
DISCONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODES
The ISL95210 supports two power saving modes of operation
during light load conditions. If FCCM is asserted high, the
regulator remains in continuous conduction mode (CCM) which
offers the best transient response and the most stable operating
frequency.
If the FCCM pin is pulled to ground potential, the regulator is
allowed to operate in full discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)
when the load becomes sufficiently low. In this mode, the
inductor current is monitored and prohibited from going
negative. When the inductor current reaches zero, both internal
power MOSFETs are turned off. The output voltage then decays
solely as a function of load. The power FETs remain off until the
output voltage droops enough to trigger a PWM on pulse.
Because the rate of decay of VOUT scales proportionally with
load, so does the switching frequency. This increases efficiency
as the relatively fixed power loss associated with switching the
power FETs is averaged over the switching period.
If the FCCM pin is left floating, the ISL95210 will operate in audio
mode DCM. This mode operates largely the same as full DCM
mode with one exception; the switching period is monitored cycle
by cycle. If the load diminishes to a point where the switching
frequency begins to drop below ~28kHz, the ISL95210 control
loop will issue a PWM on pulse to ensure the frequency remains
above the upper threshold for human hearing. This allows
flexibility for designs that are sensitive to audio frequency
interference.
The R4™ architecture seamlessly enters and exits all power saving
modes to ensure accurate regulation.
Protection and Shutdown Features
The ISL95210 offers a full suite of protection features to reduce
the risk of damage to the IC and load. They include under and
overvoltage monitoring and protection as well as protection
against excessive current and thermal operating conditions.
14
During normal operation, the output voltage is monitored at all
times to ensure it does not exceed the set point by more than
16%. Excessively high voltages can cause failure to output
capacitors as well as the load. If VOUT goes above 116% of DAC,
the power-good monitor is flagged by toggling PGOOD low and
the IC enters overvoltage protection mode.
In overvoltage protection mode, the upper P-Channel MOSFET is
latched off until the fault is cleared. In addition, VOUT is
compared against the reference DAC voltage. If VOUT is above
DAC, the lower N-channel MOSFET is turned on to pull VOUT
down. If VOUT falls below DAC, the lower N-Channel MOSFET is
turned off. This process repeats until the fault condition is
cleared through VCC/PVCC POR or a recycling of the EN pin. This
produces a soft-crowbar action that can effectively pull the
output away from dangerously high voltage levels without
causing the negative voltage swings on VOUT that are present
with full crowbar implementations of overvoltage protection.
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
If the current draw from the load becomes too high during
operation, the IC protects itself and the load by latching off. The
overcurrent mechanism is implemented as a two-fold protection
scheme.
The ISL95210 continuously monitors the lower N-channel
MOSFET current. It stores the valley of the inductor current each
cycle and compares it against the lower overcurrent protection
(OCP) threshold of 11A nominally. If the OCP threshold is
achieved for 8 consecutive PWM cycles, an overcurrent fault is
detected and the IC is shutdown. In this event, power-good
monitor flags PGOOD low and tri-states both switching power
MOSFETs and turns on the soft-discharge FET. Inductor valley
current is used to ensure that the minimum OCP threshold is
above the maximum ISL95210’s normal maximum load of 10A
regardless of chosen inductor value.
In addition to valley current limit, the upper P-Channel MOSFET
current is continuously monitored. If a catastrophic overcurrent
event is encountered (e.g. short circuit on VOUT), the ISL95210
immediately responds to protect the output by latching both
MOSFETs off and engaging the soft-discharge FET. The
power-good monitor flags PGOOD low and the IC remains latched
off until POR or EN is toggled.
THERMAL PROTECTION
The ISL95210 actively monitors the die temperature to protect
against harmful thermal operating conditions. If the silicon
temperature exceeds +150°C, the controller will suspend
FN6938.4
December 15, 2011
ISL95210
operation and shut down until the IC junction temperature falls
below +135°C. Once the temperature has fallen below the lower
protection threshold, the IC will resume normal operation
following a POR event or toggling of the EN input.
POWER-GOOD MONITOR
A status indicator is provided to inform the system whether or not
the ISL95210 output voltage is in regulation or if a fault has
occurred. If VCC and PVCC are above the POR threshold, the part
is enabled, and no faults have been detected, PGOOD will toggle
high.
The power-good monitor is a CMOS configuration (refer to the
“Functional Block Diagram” on page 2). This allows the user to
provide any voltage to indicate when power is good. The voltage
provided on to the PG_IN pin will be used as the logic high value
for PGOOD. This has the advantage over open-drain
configurations of saving a pull-up resistor. A pull-up resistor on
PGOOD can still be used if desired. In this configuration, the
PG_IN pin needs to be floated.
SOFT-DISCHARGE
To ensure a known operating condition when the ISL95210 is in
a standby state, the VOUT pin is actively discharged to PGND
through an integrated 45Ω MOSFET. The MOSFET is commanded
on if the EN pin is pulled low or if any of the previously mentioned
fault conditions are achieved with the exception of overvoltage,
which actively pulls down on VOUT as a matter of protection.
It should be noted that if an external resistor divider is used to
program VOUT to values not found in the DAC table, the
soft-discharge feature will be negatively impacted. Figure 31
illustrates this condition.

Selecting the LC Output Filter
The duty cycle of an ideal buck converter is a function of the
input and the output voltage. This relationship is written as
Equation 6:

(EQ. 6)
The output inductor peak-to-peak ripple current is written as
Equation 7:
VO • ( 1 – D )
I PP = -----------------------------f SW • L
(EQ. 7)
A typical step-down DC/DC converter will have an IP-P of 20% to
40% of the maximum DC output load current. The value of IP-P is
selected based upon several criteria such as MOSFET switching
loss, inductor core loss, and the resistive loss of the inductor
winding. The DC copper loss of the inductor can be estimated by
Equation 8:
P COPPER = I LOAD
2
•
DCR
(EQ. 8)
where ILOAD is the converter output DC current.
The copper loss can be significant so attention has to be given to
the DCR selection. Another factor to consider when choosing the
inductor is its saturation characteristics at elevated temperature.
A saturated inductor could cause destruction of circuit
components, as well as nuisance OCP faults.
A DC/DC buck regulator must have output capacitance CO into
which ripple current IP-P can flow. Current IP-P develops a
corresponding ripple voltage VP-P across CO, which is the sum of
the voltage drop across the capacitor ESR and of the voltage
change stemming from charge moved in and out of the
capacitor. These two voltages are written as Equation 9:

General Application Design
Guide
If the output of the converter has to support a load with high
pulsating current, several capacitors will need to be paralleled to
reduce the total ESR until the required VP-P is achieved. The
inductance of the capacitor can cause a brief voltage dip if the
load transient has an extremely high slew rate. Low inductance
capacitors should be considered in this scenario. A capacitor
dissipates heat as a function of RMS current and frequency. Be
sure that IP-P is shared by a sufficient quantity of paralleled
capacitors so that they operate below the maximum rated RMS
current at FSW. Take into account that the rated value of a
capacitor can fade as much as 50% as the DC voltage across it
increases.
This design guide is intended to provide a high-level explanation of
the steps necessary to design a single-phase power converter. It is
assumed that the reader is familiar with many of the basic skills

Selection of the Input Capacitor
VIN = 3.3V
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitance are the
voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable operation,
select bulk capacitors with voltage and current ratings above the
maximum input voltage and capable of supplying the RMS
current required by the switching circuit. Their voltage rating
should be at least 1.25x greater than the maximum input
voltage, while a voltage rating of 1.5x is a preferred rating.

relative to output load current, as a function of duty cycle and is

Typical Applications Circuits
There are two main variants to typical application schematic
shown in Figure 1. The first of these is when an input voltage
lower than 5V is desired. This requires the designer to provide
separate power supplies to VIN and PVCC as the ISL95210
requires a 5V bias to operate properly. Figure 33 illustrates this
configuration for a VIN of 3.3V.
Layout Considerations
It is important to place power components as close as possible to
the devices they decouple. Figure 35 provides an example of
proper power component placement for the ISL95210. Input
capacitors are placed directly across VIN and PGND to filter
switching currents between the PMOS and NMOS power FETs.
The output inductor is placed directly adjacent to the PHASE pins.
Its “north-south” arrangements easily allow for the output
voltage decoupling capacitor to be placed with its ground
terminal very near the input capacitors grounds and the PGND
pins of the ISL95210. This provides a low impedance return path
for the inductor ripple current. This is one possible arrangement
that will result in a good layout.
The analog ground connection (not shown) should be connected
directly to the ground plane through a via. The VCC decoupling
capacitor should be placed next to the VCC and AGND pins for
optimal noise rejection.

Copper Size for the Phase Node
The parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance of the phase
node should be kept very low to minimize ringing. It is best to
limit the size of the PHASE node copper in strict accordance with
the current and thermal management of the application. An
MLCC should be connected directly between VIN and PGND to
suppress the turn-off voltage spike. This is achieved by placing
