Low-Cost Single-Ended Current-Mode
PWM for Microcontroller Based Power
Converters
The ISL6729 pulse width modulating (PWM) current mode
controller is designed for power conversion applications that
are based on a microcontroller or other device which can
generate a digital clock signal at the desired switching
frequency. Similar to the ISL684x family of products, the
ISL6729 provides the basic current mode PWM control
features, but eliminates the error amplifier, the oscillator, and
the reference. An external clock signal applied to the
oscillator input provides the time base and sets the
maximum duty cycle. The reduced feature set is ideal for
those applications where a microcontroller is available to
provide the monitor and control functions. The analog PWM
provides the cycle by cycle peak current mode control,
leaving the monitor and control overhead to the
microcontroller.

Pin Descriptions
Ground Plane Requirements
CLK - This is the oscillator timing control pin. The
operational frequency and maximum duty cycle are set by
applying a 5V amplitude clock signal to CLK. The logic high
duration defines the maximum ON time for the output. A
maximum clock rate up to 2.0MHz is possible.
Careful layout is essential for satisfactory operation of the
device. A good ground plane must be employed. A unique
section of the ground plane must be designated for high di/dt
currents associated with the output stage. VDD should be
bypassed directly to GND with good high frequency
capacitors.
COMP - COMP is the input to the PWM comparator and is
typically controlled through an external error amplifier.
CS - This is the current sense input to the PWM comparator.
The range of the input signal is nominally 0 to 1.0V and has
an internal offset of 100mV.
GND - GND is the power and small signal reference ground
for all functions.
OUT - This is the drive output to the power switching device.
It is a high current output capable of driving the gate of a
power MOSFET with peak currents of 1.0A. This GATE
output is actively held low when VDD is below the UVLO
threshold.
VDD - VDD is the 5V power connection for the IC. The IC will
operate from 4.75V to 5.25V. However, the accuracy of the
voltage clamp on the COMP signal, which determines the
over current threshold, is dependent on the accuracy of
VDD. A tight tolerance on VDD will result in a tight over
current threshold.
The total supply current will depend on the load applied to
OUT. Total IDD current is the sum of the operating current
and the average output current. Knowing the operating
frequency, f, and the MOSFET gate charge, Qg, the average
output current can be calculated from:
I OUT = Qg × f
(EQ. 1)
To optimize noise immunity, bypass VDD to GND with a
ceramic capacitor as close to the VDD and GND pins as
possible.

Applications Information
Microcontrollers are becoming more popular for monitoring
and supervisory functions in power converters due to their
flexibility, capability, and declining prices. Many applications
would like to take advantage of this flexibility and use them
to perform the control loop function as well. There are many
examples of voltage mode control using digital signal
processing techniques. However, microcontrollers available
today do not have the execution speed required for peak
current mode control at the operational frequencies of
modern switch-mode power supplies. As such, they are
unable to detect the peak current and terminate the
switching cycle within the few nanosecond window required.
The ISL6729 provides the analog circuitry required to
perform peak current control, but delegates the oscillator
function to the microcontroller. This arrangement allows the
microcontroller to control soft-start, maximum duty cycle,
and operational frequency of the power converter, as well as
performing the traditional overhead functions such as fault
monitoring and system interface.
Application of the ISL6729 is similar to the ISL684x family of
PWM converters except that the input bias voltage has been
changed to 5V and the oscillator, reference, and error
amplifier functions have been removed. An external digital
clock signal, such as the PWM output of a microcontroller,
must be supplied to control the frequency and maximum
duty cycle. The frequency of the applied clock signal and the
frequency of operation of the PWM are identical. The duty
cycle of the clock is the maximum duty cycle of the PWM.
Soft-start may be accomplished by incrementing the duty
cycle of the applied clock signal from zero to the maximum
desired value in a time frame appropriate for the application.

ISL6729
The Typical Application block diagram illustrates how the
ISL6729 may be used for an interleaved power converter. In
this example, three clock signals of equal duty cycle, but
phased 120º apart, are applied to separate power stages.
Each phase shares a common voltage feedback signal, but
uses separate current feed back signals from each power
stage for regulation. Excellent current sharing behavior is
assured since each phase must produce the same peak
current. Accuracy is determined by the variation of the
output inductor value and the feedback components.
Multiple output power supplies can be created in a similar
fashion. Only one clock signal is required if in-phase
operation is desired. Each stage may be independently
controlled using separate voltage and current feedback
loops.
