Introduction
Interface Connections
The ISL6268EVAL1Z evaluation board demonstrates the
performance of the ISL6268HZ single-phase
synchronous-buck PWM controller featuring Intersil's Robust
Ripple Regulator (R3) technology. The evaluation DC/DC
converter design criteria is located in Table 1. An on-board
dynamic-load generator is included for evaluating the
transient-load response. The dynamic-load applies a 2.5ms
pulse of 250mΩ across VOUT and GND every 30ms.

CHOKE CURRENT, 5.0mΩ r DS(ON), 2.1kΩ RSEN
The value of the OCP overcurrent programming resistor
RSEN is calculated using Equation 1:
The value of the frequency programming resistor RFSET is
calculated using Equation 2:
I PP
⎛ I + --------⎞ • OC SP • r DS ( ON )
⎝ FL
2 ⎠
R SEN = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------I OC
1
R FSET = -----------------K • f SW
(EQ. 1)
where:
- rDS(ON) is the on-state resistance of the low-side MOSFET
- IOC is the ISEN threshold current that trips the OCP circuit
- IFL is the maximum continuous design load current
- IPP is the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current
- OCSP is the desired OCP setpoint multiplier relative to IFL
The ISL6268EVAL1Z delivers 5A IFL with approximately 30%
inductor ripple current (1.5AP-P) The low-side MOSFET has
5mΩ rDS(ON). The OCP setpoint should be chosen to avoid
nuisance tripping due to component tolerances and
temperature effects. The ISL6268EVAL1Z is programmed to
190% (OCSP = 1.9). Using Equation 1 finds RSEN = 2.1kΩ.
4
(EQ. 2)
where:
- fSW is the PWM switching frequency
- K = 66 x 10-12
The ISL6268EVAL1Z is programmed for 300kHz. Using
Equation 2 finds RFSET = 49.9kΩ.
The regulation voltage setpoint programming resistors RTOP
and RBOTTOM are calculated using Equation 3:
R BOTTOM
V REF = V OUT • -------------------------------------------------R
+R
TOP
(EQ. 3)
BOTTOM
where:
- VREF = 600mV
The ISL6268EVAL1Z is programmed for 1.20V, therefore,
RTOP = RBOTTOM. The loop compensation is usually
responsible for selecting RTOP, which in this case is 2.49kΩ.
