VRM8.5 Dual PWM and Dual Linear Power
System Controller
The ISL6523 provides the power control and protection for
four output voltages in high-performance microprocessor
and computer applications. The IC integrates two PWM
controllers and two linear controllers, as well as the
monitoring and protection functions into a 28-pin SOIC
package. One PWM controller regulates the microprocessor
core voltage with a synchronous-rectified buck converter.
The second PWM controller supplies the computer system’s
AGTL+ 1.2V bus power with a standard buck converter. The
linear controllers regulate power for the 1.5V AGP bus and
the 1.8V power for the chipset core voltage and/or cache
memory circuits.
The ISL6523 includes an Intel VRM8.5 compatible, TTL 5input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the
microprocessor core-targeted PWM output voltage from
1.050V to 1.825V in 25mV steps. The precision reference
and voltage-mode control provide 1% static regulation. The
second PWM controller’s output provides a voltage level of
1.2V with 3% accuracy. The linear regulators use external
N-channel MOSFETs or bipolar NPN pass transistors to
provide fixed output voltages of 1.5V 3% (VOUT3) and 1.8V
3% (VOUT4).
The ISL6523 monitors all the output voltages. A delayedrising VTT (standard buck output) Power Good signal is
issued before the core PWM starts to ramp up. Another
system Power Good signal is issued when the core is within
10% of the DAC setting and all other outputs are above
their under- voltage levels. Additional built-in overvoltage
protection for the core output uses the lower MOSFET to
prevent output voltages above 115% of the DAC setting. The
PWM controllers’ overcurrent function monitors the output
current by using the voltage drop across the upper
MOSFET’s rDS(ON) , eliminating the need for a current
sensing resistor.

controlled by the IC. The voltage at this pin is monitored for
Power-On Reset (POR) purposes.
GND (Pin 17)
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured
with respect to this pin.

Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 28A current source, sets the soft-start
interval of the synchronous switching converter (VOUT1) and
the AGP regulator (VOUT3). A VTTPG high signal is also
delayed by the time interval required by the charging of this
capacitor from 0V to 1.25V (see Soft-Start details).
SS24 (Pin 12)
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 28A current source, sets the soft-start
interval of the standard buck converter. Pulling this pin below
0.8V induces a chip reset (POR) and shutdown.
VTTPG (Pin 9)
VTTPG is an open collector output used to indicate the
status of the standard buck regulator output voltage. This pin
is pulled low when the output is below the under-voltage
threshold or when the SS13 pin is below 1.25V.
ISL6523
PGOOD (Pin 8)
VSEN1 (Pin 22)
PGOOD is an open collector output used to indicate the
status of the output voltages. This pin is pulled low when the
synchronous regulator output is not within 10%of the
DACOUT reference voltage or when any of the other outputs
is below its under-voltage threshold.
This pin is connected to the synchronous PWM converters’
output voltage. The PGOOD and OVP comparator circuits
use this signal to report output voltage status.
VID3, VID2, VID1, VID0, VID25 (Pins 3-7)
VID3-25 are the TTL-compatible input pins to the 5-bit DAC.
The logic states of these five pins program the internal
voltage reference (DACOUT). The level of DACOUT sets the
microprocessor core converter output voltage (VOUT1), as
well as the corresponding PGOOD and OVP thresholds.
Each VID pin is connected to the VAUX pin through a 5k
pull-up resistor.
OCSET1, OCSET2 (Pins 23, 10)
Connect a resistor (ROCSET) from one of these pins to the
drain of the corresponding upper MOSFET. ROCSET, an
internal 200A current source (IOCSET), and the upper
MOSFET’s on-resistance (rDS(ON)) set the converter overcurrent (OC) trip point according to the following equation:
I OCSET  R OCSET
I PEAK = ---------------------------------------------------r DS  ON 
VSEN2 (Pin 11)
Connect this pin to the output of the standard buck PWM
regulator. The voltage at this pin is regulated to a 1.5V level.
This pin is also monitored for under-voltage events.

transistor (MOSFET or bipolar). This pin provides the drive
for the 1.5V regulator’s pass transistor.

An overcurrent trip cycles the soft-start function.
The voltage at OCSET1 pin is monitored for power-on reset
(POR) purposes.
PHASE1, PHASE2 (Pins 26, 2)
Connect the PHASE pins to the respective PWM converter’s
upper MOSFET sources. These pins represent the gate
drive return current path and are used to monitor the voltage
drop across the upper MOSFETs for overcurrent protection.
UGATE1, UGATE2 (Pins 27, 1)
Connect UGATE pins to the respective PWM converters’
upper MOSFET gate. These pins provide the gate drive for
the upper MOSFETs.
LGATE1 (Pin 25)
Connect LGATE1 to the synchronous PWM converter’s
lower MOSFET gate. This pin provides the gate drive for the
lower MOSFET.
COMP1 and FB1 (Pins 20, 21)
COMP1 and FB1 are the available external pins of the
synchronous PWM regulator error amplifier. The FB1 pin is
the inverting input of the error amplifier. Similarly, the

to compensate the voltage-mode control feedback loop of
the synchronous PWM converter.

Description
Operation
The ISL6523 monitors and precisely controls 4 output voltage
levels (Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3). It is designed for
microprocessor computer applications with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V
bias input from an ATX power supply. The IC has 2 PWM and
two linear controllers. The first PWM controller (PWM1) is
designed to regulate the microprocessor core voltage (VOUT1).
PWM1 controller drives 2 MOSFETs (Q1 and Q2) in a
synchronous-rectified buck converter and regulates the core
voltage to a level programmed by the 5-bit digital-to-analog
converter (DAC). The second PWM controller (PWM2) is
designed to regulate the AGTL+ bus voltage (VOUT2). PWM2
controller drives a MOSFET (Q3) in a standard buck converter
and regulates the output voltage to a level of 1.2V. The two
linear controllers supply the 1.5V advanced graphics port
(AGP) bus power (VOUT3) and the 1.8V chipset core power
(VOUT4).
Initialization
The ISL6523 automatically initializes in ATX-based systems
upon receipt of input power. The Power-On Reset (POR)
function continually monitors the input supply voltages. The
POR monitors the bias voltage (+12VIN) at the VCC pin, the
5V input voltage (+5VIN) at the OCSET1 pin, and the 3.3V
input voltage (+3.3VIN) at the VAUX pin. The normal level on
OCSET1 is equal to +5VIN less a fixed voltage drop (see
ISL6523
overcurrent protection). The POR function initiates soft-start
operation after all supply voltages exceed their POR
thresholds.
Soft-Start
The 1.8V supply designed to power the chipset (OUT4), cannot
lag the ATX 3.3V by more than 2V, at any time. To meet this
special requirement, the linear block controlling this output
operates independently of the chip’s power-on reset. Thus,
DRIVE4 is driven to raise the OUT4 voltage before the input
supplies reach their POR levels. As seen in Figure 5, at time T0
the power is turned on and the input supplies ramp up.
Immediately following, OUT4 is also ramped up, lagging the
ATX 3.3V by about 1.8V. At time T1, the POR function initiates
the SS24 soft-start sequence. Initially, the voltage on the SS24
pin rapidly increases to approximately 1V (this minimizes the
soft-start interval). Then, an internal 28A current source
charges an external capacitor (CSS24) on the SS24 pin to
about 4.5V. As the SS24 voltage increases, the PWM2 error
amplifier allows generation of PHASE pulses of increasing
width that charge the output capacitor(s), providing a smooth
transition to the final set voltage. The OUT4 reference (clamped
to SS24) increasing past the intermediary level, established
based on the ATX 3.3V presence at the VAUX pin, brings the
output in regulation soon after T2.

FIGURE 5. SOFT-START INTERVAL
As OUT2 increases past the 90% power-good level, the second
soft-start (SS13) is released. Between T2 and T3, the SS13
pin voltage ramps from 0V to the valley of the oscillator’s
triangle wave (at 1.25V). Contingent upon OUT2 remaining
7
above 1.08V, the first PWM pulse on PHASE1 triggers the
VTTPG pin to go high. The oscillator’s triangular wave form
is compared to the clamped error amplifier output voltage.
As the SS13 pin voltage increases, the pulse-width on the
PHASE1 pin increases, bringing the OUT1 output within
regulation limits. Similarly, the SS13 voltage clamps the
reference voltage for OUT3, enabling a controlled output
voltage ramp-up. At time T4, all output voltages are within
power-good limits, situation reported by the PGOOD pin
going high.
The T2 to T3 time interval is dependent upon the value of
CSS13. The same capacitor is also responsible for the rampup time of the OUT1 and OUT3 voltages. If selecting a
different capacitor then recommended in the circuit application
literature, consider the effects the different value will have on
the ramp-up time and inrush currents of the OUT1 and OUT3
outputs.
Fault Protection
All four outputs are monitored and protected against extreme
overload. The chip’s response to an output overload is
selective, depending on the faulting output.
An overvoltage on VOUT1 output (VSEN1) disables outputs
1, 2, and 3, and latches the IC off. An under-voltage on
VOUT4 output latches the IC off. A single overcurrent event
on outputs 1 or 2, or an under-voltage event on output 3,
increments the respective fault counter and triggers a
shutdown of outputs 1, 2, and 3, followed by a soft-start restart. After three consecutive fault events on either counter,
the chip is latched off. Removal of bias power resets both the
fault latch and the counters. Both counters are also reset by
a successful start-up of all the outputs.
Figure 6 shows a simplified schematic of the fault logic. The
overcurrent latches are set dependent upon the states of the
overcurrent (OC1 and OC2), output 3 under-voltage (UV3)
and the soft-start signals (SS13, SS24). Window
comparators monitor the SS pins and indicate when the
respective CSS pins are fully charged to above 4.0V (UP
signals). An under-voltage on either linear output (VSEN3 or
VSEN4) is ignored until the respective UP signal goes high.
This allows VOUT3 and VOUT4 to increase without fault at
start-up. Following an overcurrent event (OC1, OC2, or UV3
event), bringing the SS24 pin below 0.8V resets the
ISL6523
overcurrent latch and generates a soft-started ramp-up of
the outputs 1, 2, and 3.

OUT1 Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage circuit provides protection during the initial
application of power. For voltages on the VCC pin below the
power-on reset (and above ~4V), the output level is
monitored for voltages above 1.3V. Should VSEN1 exceed
this level, the lower MOSFET, Q2, is driven on.
Overcurrent Protection
All outputs are protected against excessive overcurrents.
Both PWM controllers use the upper MOSFET’s onresistance, rDS(ON) to monitor the current for protection
against shorted outputs. Both linear regulators monitor their
respective VSEN pins for under-voltage to protect against
excessive currents.
Figure 7 illustrates the overcurrent protection with an overload
on OUT2. The overload is applied at T0 and the current
increases through the inductor (LOUT2). At time T1, the OC2
comparator trips when the voltage across Q3 (iD • rDS(ON))
exceeds the level programmed by ROCSET. This inhibits
outputs 1, 2, and 3, discharges soft-start capacitor CSS24 with
28A current sink, and increments the counter. Soft-start
capacitor CSS13 is quickly discharged. CSS24 recharges at T2
and initiates a soft-start cycle with the error amplifiers clamped
by soft-start. With OUT2 still overloaded, the inductor current
increases to trip the overcurrent comparator. Again, this
inhibits the outputs, but the soft-start voltage continues
increasing to above 4.0V before discharging. The counter
increments to 2. The soft-start cycle repeats at T3 and trips
the overcurrent comparator. The SS pin voltage increases to

FIGURE 7. OVERCURRENT OPERATION
The PWM1 controller operates in the same way as PWM2 to
overcurrent faults. Additionally, the two linear controllers
monitor the VSEN pins for under-voltage. Should excessive
currents cause VSEN3 or VSEN4 to fall below the linear
under-voltage threshold, the respective UV signals set the
OC latch or the FAULT latch, providing respective CSS
capacitors are fully charged. Blanking the UV signals during the
CSS charge interval allows the linear outputs to build above
the under-voltage threshold during normal operation. Cycling
the bias input power off then on resets the counter and the
fault latch.
Resistors (ROCSET1 and ROCSET2) program the overcurrent
trip levels for each PWM converter. As shown in Figure 8, the
internal 200A current sink (IOCSET) develops a voltage across
ROCSET (VSET) that is referenced to VIN . The DRIVE signal
enables the overcurrent comparator (OVERCURRENT1 or
OVERCURRENT2). When the voltage across the upper
MOSFET (VDS(ON)) exceeds VSET, the overcurrent
comparator trips to set the overcurrent latch. Both VSET and
VDS are referenced to VIN and a small capacitor across
ROCSET helps VOCSET track the variations of VIN due to
MOSFET switching. The overcurrent function will trip at a peak
inductor current (IPEAK) determined by:

The OC trip point varies with MOSFET’s rDS(ON)

The output voltage of the PWM1 converter is programmed to
discrete levels between 1.050V and 1.825V. This output
(OUT1) is designed to supply the core voltage of Intel’s
advanced microprocessors. The voltage identification (VID)
pins program an internal voltage reference (DACOUT) with a
TTL-compatible 5-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The
level of DACOUT also sets the PGOOD and OVP thresholds.
Table 1 specifies the DACOUT voltage for the different
combinations of connections on the VID pins. The VID pins
can be left open for a logic 1 input, since they are internally
pulled to the VAUX pin through 5k resistors. Changing the
VID inputs during operation is not recommended and could
toggle the PGOOD signal and exercise the overvoltage
protection. The output voltage program is Intel VRM8.5
compatible.

Application Guidelines
Soft-Start Interval
Initially, the soft-start function clamps the error amplifier’s output
of the PWM converters. This generates PHASE pulses of
increasing width that charge the output capacitor(s). The
resulting output voltages start-up as shown in Figure 5.
The soft-start function controls the output voltage rate of rise
to limit the current surge at start-up. The soft-start interval
and the surge current are programmed by the soft-start
capacitor, CSS. Programming a faster soft-start interval
increases the peak surge current. Using the recommended
0.1F soft start capacitors ensure all output voltages ramp
up to their set values in a quick and controlled fashion, while
meeting the system timing requirements.
Shutdown
Neither PWM output switches until the soft-start voltage
(VSS) exceeds the oscillator’s valley voltage. Additionally,
the reference on each linear’s amplifier is clamped to the
soft-start voltage. Holding the SS24 pin low (with an open
drain or open collector signal) turns off regulators 1, 2 and 3.
Regulator 4 (MCH) will simply drop its output to the
intermediate soft-start level. This output is not allowed to
violate the 2V maximum potential gap to the ATX 3.3V
output.
ISL6523
The power components and the controller IC should be
placed first. Locate the input capacitors, especially the highfrequency ceramic de-coupling capacitors, close to the
power switches. Locate the output inductor and output
capacitors between the MOSFETs and the load. Locate the
PWM controller close to the MOSFETs.
The critical small signal components include the bypass
capacitor for VCC and the soft-start capacitor, CSS. Locate
these components close to their connecting pins on the
control IC. Minimize any leakage current paths from any SS
node, since the internal current source is only 28A.
A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure 9
shows the connections of the critical components in the
converter. Note that the capacitors CIN and COUT each
could represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one
solid layer for a ground plane and make all critical
component ground connections with vias to this layer.
Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and break this
plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels. The
power plane should support the input power and output
power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top and
bottom circuit layers for the PHASE nodes, but do not
unnecessarily oversize these particular islands. Since the
PHASE nodes are subjected to very high dV/dt voltages, the
stray capacitor formed between these islands and the
surrounding circuitry will tend to couple switching noise. Use
the remaining printed circuit layers for small signal wiring.

LOAD
There are two sets of critical components in a DC-DC
converter using an ISL6523 controller. The switching power
components are the most critical because they switch large
amounts of energy, and as such, they tend to generate
equally large amounts of noise. The critical small signal
components are those connected to sensitive nodes or
those supplying critical bypass current.
LIN
+5VIN
LOAD
MOSFETs switch very fast and efficiently. The speed with
which the current transitions from one device to another
causes voltage spikes across the interconnecting
impedances and parasitic circuit elements. The voltage
spikes can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit,
and lead to device overvoltage stress. Careful component
layout and printed circuit design minimizes the voltage
spikes in the converter. Consider, as an example, the turn-off
transition of the upper MOSFET. Prior to turn-off, the upper
MOSFET was carrying the full load current. During the turnoff, current stops flowing in the upper MOSFET and is picked
up by the lower MOSFET or Schottky diode. Any inductance
in the switched current path generates a large voltage spike
during the switching interval. Careful component selection,
tight layout of the critical components, and short, wide circuit
traces minimize the magnitude of voltage spikes.
The wiring traces from the control IC to the MOSFET gate
and source should be sized to carry 2A peak currents.

PWM1 Controller Feedback Compensation
Both PWM controllers use voltage-mode control for output
regulation. This section highlights the design consideration
for a voltage-mode controller requiring external
compensation. Apply these methods and considerations
only to the synchronous PWM controller. The considerations
for the standard PWM controller are presented separately.
ISL6523
Figure 10 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage
(VOUT) is regulated to the Reference voltage level. The
reference voltage level is the DAC output voltage (DACOUT)
for PWM1. The error amplifier output (VE/A) is compared with
the oscillator (OSC) triangular wave to provide a pulse-width
modulated wave with an amplitude of VIN at the PHASE node.
The PWM wave is smoothed by the output filter (LO and CO)..

Figure 11 shows an asymptotic plot of the DC-DC converter’s
gain vs. frequency. The actual Modulator Gain has a high gain
peak dependent on the quality factor (Q) of the output filter,
which is not shown in Figure 11. Using the above guidelines
should yield a Compensation Gain similar to the curve plotted.
The open loop error amplifier gain bounds the compensation
gain. Check the compensation gain at FP2 with the capabilities
of the error amplifier. The Closed Loop Gain is constructed on
the log-log graph of Figure 11 by adding the Modulator Gain (in
dB) to the Compensation Gain (in dB). This is equivalent to
multiplying the modulator transfer function to the compensation
transfer function and plotting the gain.
FIGURE 10. VOLTAGE-MODE BUCK CONVERTER
COMPENSATION DESIGN
The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer
function of VOUT /VE/A. This function is dominated by a DC
Gain, given by VIN /VOSC , and shaped by the output filter, with
a double pole break frequency at FLC and a zero at FESR .

The compensation network consists of the error amplifier
(internal to the ISL6523) and the impedance networks ZIN and

closed loop transfer function with high 0dB crossing frequency
(f0dB) and adequate phase margin. Phase margin is the
difference between the closed loop phase at f0dB and 180o
The equations below relate the compensation network’s poles,
zeros and gain to the components (R1, R2, R3, C1, C2, and

The compensation gain uses external impedance networks
ZFB and ZIN to provide a stable, high bandwidth (BW) overall
loop. A stable control loop has a gain crossing with
-20dB/decade slope and a phase margin greater than
45 degrees. Include worst case component variations when
determining phase margin.
PWM2 Controller Feedback Compensation
To reduce the number of external small-signal components
required by a typical application, the standard PWM
controller is internally stabilized. The only stability criteria
that needs to be met relates the minimum value of the output
ISL6523
inductor to the equivalent ESR of the output capacitor bank,
as shown in the following equation:
1.75
ESR OUT  10
L OUT  MIN  = -----------------------------------------------2    BW
where
LOUT(MIN) - minimum output inductor value at full output
current
ESROUT - equivalent ESR of the output capacitor bank
BW - desired converter bandwidth (not to exceed 0.25 to
0.30 of the switching frequency)
The design procedure for this output should follow the
following steps:
1. Choose number and type of output capacitors to meet the
output transient requirements based on the dynamic
loading characteristics of the output.
2. Determine the equivalent ESR of the output capacitor
bank and calculate minimum output inductor value.
3. Verify that chosen inductor meets this minimum value
criteria (at full output load). It is recommended the
chosen output inductor be no more than 30% saturated
at full output load.
Oscillator Synchronization
The PWM controllers use a triangle wave for comparison
with the error amplifier output to provide a pulse-width
modulated signal. Should the output voltage of the two
converters be programmed close to each other, then crosstalk between the converters could cause non-uniform
PHASE pulse-widths and increased output voltage ripple.
The ISL6523 avoids this problem by synchronizing the two
converters 180o out of phase.
Component Selection Guidelines
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitors for each output have unique
requirements. In general the output capacitors should be
selected to meet the dynamic regulation requirements.
Additionally, the PWM converters require an output capacitor
to filter the current ripple. The load transient for the
microprocessor core requires high quality capacitors to
supply the high slew rate (di/dt) current demands.
PWM Output Capacitors
Modern microprocessors produce transient load rates
above 1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the
transient current and slow the load rate-of-change seen by
the bulk capacitors. The bulk filter capacitor values are
generally determined by the ESR (effective series
resistance) and voltage rating requirements rather than
actual capacitance requirements.
High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as
close to the power pins of the load as physically possible. Be
12
careful not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that
could cancel the usefulness of these low inductance
components. Consult with the manufacturer of the load on
specific decoupling requirements.
Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for
switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The
bulk capacitor’s ESR determines the output ripple voltage and
the initial voltage drop following a high slew-rate transient’s
edge. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor’s ESR value is
related to the case size with lower ESR available in larger
case sizes. However, the equivalent series inductance (ESL)
of these capacitors increases with case size and can reduce
the usefulness of the capacitor to high slew-rate transient
loading. Unfortunately, ESL is not a specified parameter. Work
with your capacitor supplier and measure the capacitor’s
impedance with frequency to select a suitable component. In
most cases, multiple electrolytic capacitors of small case size
perform better than a single large case capacitor.
Linear Output Capacitors
The output capacitors for the linear regulators provide
dynamic load current. Thus capacitors COUT3 and COUT4
should be selected for transient load regulation.
PWM Output Inductor Selection
Each PWM converter requires an output inductor. The output
inductor is selected to meet the output voltage ripple
requirements and sets the converter’s response time to a
load transient. Additionally, PWM2 output inductor has to
meet the minimum value criteria for loop stability as
described in paragraph ‘PWM2 Controller Feedback
Compensation’. The inductor value determines the
converter’s ripple current and the ripple voltage is a function
of the ripple current. The ripple voltage and current are
approximated by the following equations:
V IN – V OUT V OUT
I = --------------------------------  ---------------FS  L
V IN
V OUT = I  ESR
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current
and voltage. However, large inductance values increase the
converter’s response time to a load transient.
One of the parameters limiting the converter’s response to a
load transient is the time required to change the inductor
current. Given a sufficiently fast control loop design, the
ISL6523 will provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in
response to a load transient. The response time is the time
interval required to slew the inductor current from an initial
current value to the post-transient current level. During this
interval the difference between the inductor current and the
transient current level must be supplied by the output
capacitor(s). Minimizing the response time can minimize the
output capacitance required.
The response time to a transient is different for the
application of load and the removal of load. The following
ISL6523
equations give the approximate response time interval for
application and removal of a transient load:
L O  I TRAN
t RISE = -------------------------------V IN – V OUT
L O  I TRAN
t FALL = ------------------------------V OUT
where: ITRAN is the transient load current step, tRISE is the
response time to the application of load, and tFALL is the
response time to the removal of load. Be sure to check both
of these equations at the minimum and maximum output
levels for the worst case response time.
Input Capacitor Selection
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitor are the
voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable
operation, select bulk input capacitors with voltage and
current ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest
RMS current required by the circuit. The capacitor voltage
rating should be at least 1.25 times greater than the
maximum input voltage. The maximum RMS current rating
requirement for the input capacitors of a buck regulator is
approximately 1/2 of the DC output load current. Worst-case
RMS current draw in a circuit employing the ISL6523
amounts to the largest RMS current draw of either switching
regulator (likely the RMS of VOUT1). Operating at 180o outof-phase, the input-side RMS current of both switchers is
less than the arithmetical sum of individual RMS input
currents.
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage
overshoot across the MOSFETs. Use ceramic capacitance
for the high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors to
supply the RMS current. Small ceramic capacitors can be
placed very close to the upper MOSFET to suppress the
voltage induced in the parasitic circuit impedances.
For a through-hole design, several electrolytic capacitors
(Panasonic HFQ series or Nichicon PL series or Sanyo
MV-GX or equivalent) may be needed. For surface mount
designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution
must be exercised with regard to the capacitor surge current
rating. These capacitors must be capable of handling the
surge current at power-up. The TPS series available from
AVX, and the 593D series from Sprague are both surge
current tested.
design factors. The power dissipation includes two main loss
components: conduction losses and switching losses. These
losses are distributed between the upper and lower MOSFETs
according to the duty factor. The conduction losses are the
main component of power dissipation for the lower MOSFETs.
Only the upper MOSFET has significant switching losses, since
the lower device turns on and off into near zero voltage.
The equations presented assume linear voltage-current
transitions and do not model power losses due to the lower
MOSFET’s body diode or the output capacitances
associated with either MOSFET. The gate charge losses are
dissipated by the controller IC (ISL6523) and do not
contribute to the MOSFETs’ heat rise. Ensure that both
MOSFETs are within their maximum junction temperature at
high ambient temperature by calculating the temperature
rise according to package thermal resistance specifications.
A separate heatsink may be necessary depending upon
MOSFET power, package type, ambient temperature and air
flow.

The rDS(ON) is different for the two equations above even if
the same device is used for both. This is because the gate
drive applied to the upper MOSFET is different than the
lower MOSFET. Figure 12 shows the gate drive where the
upper MOSFET’s gate-to-source voltage is approximately
VCC less the input supply. For +5V main power and +12VDC
for the bias, the approximate gate-to-source voltage of Q1 is
7V. The lower gate drive voltage is 12V. A logic-level
MOSFET is a good choice for Q1 and a logic-level MOSFET
can be used for Q2 if its absolute gate-to-source voltage rating
exceeds the maximum voltage applied to VCC .

Rectifier CR1 is a clamp that catches the negative inductor
swing during the dead time between the turn off of the lower
ISL6523
MOSFET and the turn on of the upper MOSFET. For best
results, the diode must be a surface-mount Schottky type to
prevent the parasitic MOSFET body diode from conducting. It
is acceptable to omit the diode and let the body diode of the
lower MOSFET clamp the negative inductor swing, but one
must ensure the PHASE node negative voltage swing does
not exceed -3V to -5V peak. The diode's rated reverse
breakdown voltage must be equal or greater to 1.5 times the
maximum input voltage.
PWM2 MOSFET and Schottky Selection
The power dissipation in PWM2 converter is similar to
PWM1 except that the power losses of the lower device are
dissipated in the Schottky. The equations below describe an

Linear Controllers Transistor Selection
The ISL6523 linear controllers are compatible with both NPN
bipolar as well as N-channel MOSFET transistors. The main
criteria for selection of pass transistors for the linear
regulators is package selection for efficient removal of heat.
The power dissipated in a linear regulator is
P LINEAR = I O   V IN – V OUT 
Select a package and heatsink that maintains the junction
temperature below the maximum desired temperature with
the maximum expected ambient temperature.
When selecting bipolar NPN transistors for use with the
linear controllers, insure the current gain at the given
operating VCE is sufficiently large to provide the desired
output load current when the base is fed with the minimum
driver output current.
In order to ensure the strict timing/level requirement of
OUT4, an NPN transistor is recommended for use as a pass
element on this output (Q5). An low gate threshold NMOS
could be used, but meeting the requirements would then
depend on the VCC bias being sufficiently high to allow
control of the MOSFET.
