Theory of Operation
The ISL9105 is a step-down switching regulator optimized
for battery-powered handheld applications. The regulator
operates at 1.6MHz fixed switching frequency under heavy
load condition to allow small external inductor and capacitors
to be used for minimal printed-circuit board (PCB) area. At
light load, the regulator reduces the switching frequency,
unless forced to the fixed frequency, to minimize the
switching loss and to maximize the battery life. The
quiescent current when the output is not loaded is typically
only 25μA. The supply current is typically only 0.1μA when
the regulator is shut down.
PWM Control Scheme
The ISL9105 employs the current-mode pulse-width
modulation (PWM) control scheme for fast transient
response and pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Figure 15
shows the block diagram. The current loop consists of the
oscillator, the PWM comparator COMP, current sensing
circuit, and the slope compensation for the current loop
stability. The current sensing circuit consists of the
7
resistance of the P-Channel MOSFET when it is turned on
and the Current Sense Amplifier (CSA). The control
reference for the current loops comes from the Error
Amplifier (EAMP) of the voltage loop.
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 P-Channel
MOSFET starts ramping up. When the sum of the CSA
output and the compensation slope reaches the control
reference of the current loop, the PWM comparator COMP
sends a signal to the PWM logic to turn off the P-Channel
MOSFET and to turn on the N-Channel MOSFET. The NChannel MOSFET remains on till the end of the PWM cycle.
Figure 15 shows the typical operating waveforms during the
PWM operation. The dotted lines illustrate the sum of the
compensation ramp and the CSA output.

ISL9105
The output voltage is regulated by controlling the reference
voltage to the current loop. The bandgap circuit outputs a
0.8V reference voltage to the voltage control loop. The
feedback signal comes from the FB pin. The soft-start block
only affects the operation during the start-up and will be
discussed separately in the “Soft-Start-Up” on page 9. The
error amplifier is a transconductance amplifier, which
converts the voltage error signal to a current output. The
voltage loop is internally compensated by a RC network. The
maximum EAMP voltage output is precisely clamped to the
bandgap voltage (1.172V).
edge of the clock and turned off when its current reaches
20% of the peak current limit. As the average inductor
current in each cycle is higher than the average current of
the load, the output voltage rises cycle over cycle. When the
output voltage reaches 1.5% above the nominal voltage, the
P-Channel MOSFET is turned off immediately and the
inductor current is fully discharged to zero and remains zero.
The output voltage reduces gradually due to the load current
discharging the output capacitor. When the output voltage
drops to the nominal voltage, the P-Channel MOSFET will
be turned on again, repeating the previous operations.
VEAMP
The regulator resumes PWM mode operation when the
output voltage drops 1.5% below the nominal voltage.
VCSA1
Enable
The enable (EN) input allows user to control the turn-on and
turn-off of the regulator for purposes such as power-up
sequencing. When the regulator is enabled, there is a
typically a 600µs delay for waking up the internal reference
circuit, then the soft start-up begins. When the regulator is
disabled, the P-MOSFET is turned off immediately and the
output capacitor is discharged.

SKIP Mode
The ISL9105 enters a pulse-skipping mode at light load to
minimize the switching loss by reducing the effective
switching frequency. Figure 16 illustrates the skip-mode
operation. A zero-cross sensing circuit (as shown in
Figure 15) monitors the N-Channel MOSFET current for zero
crossing. When the N-Channel MOSFET current is detected
crossing zero for 8 consecutive cycles, the regulator enters
the skip mode. During the 8 consecutive cycles, the inductor
current is allowed to be negative. The internal counter is
reset to zero when the sensed N-Channel MOSFET current
does not cross zero in any cycle within the 8 consecutive
cycles.
Once ISL9105 enters SKIP mode, the pulse modulation
starts being controlled by the SKIP comparator shown in
Figure 15. Each pulse cycle is still synchronized by the PWM
clock. The P-Channel MOSFET is turned on at the rising
The ISL9105 offers a Power-On Reset (POR) signal. When
the output voltage is not within a power-good window, the
POR pin outputs an open-drain low signal (Figure 15), which
can be used to reset the microprocessor. When the output
voltage is within a power-good window, a power-good signal
is issued to turn off the open-drain POR pin. The rising edge
of the POR output is delayed by 216ms(typical) from the
time the power-good signal is issued.
Mode Selection
MODE pin is provided on ISL9105 to select the operation
mode. When it is driven to logic low or shorted to ground, the
regulator operates in the forced PWM mode. The forced
PWM mode remains the fixed PWM frequency (typically
1.6MHz) at all load conditions.
When the MODE pin is driven to logic high or connected to
input voltage VIN, the regulator operates in either SKIP
mode or fixed PWM mode depending upon the load
condition.

RSI Signal
Thermal Shut Down
The RSI signal is an input signal, which can reset the POR
signal. As shown in Figure 15, the power-good signal is
gated by the RSI signal. When the RSI is high, the POR
signal will remain low, regardless of the power-good signal.
The ISL9105 provides built-in thermal protection. When the
internal temperature reaches +150°C, the regulator is
completely shutdown. As the temperature drops to +125°C,
the ISL9105 resumes operation by stepping through a
soft-start-up.
Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent protection can protect ISL9105 itself as well
as other external components when over load condition
happens. It is realized by monitoring the CSA output with the
OCP comparator, as shown in Figure 15. The current
sensing circuit has a gain of 0.4V/A. When the CSA output
reaches 0.4V, (which means the current at P-Channel
MOSFET reaches 1A) the OCP comparator is triggered to
turn off the P-Channel MOSFET immediately.
Short-Circuit Protection
ISL9105 has a Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) comparator
monitors the FB pin voltage for output short-circuit
protection. When the FB is lower than 0.2V, 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.
UVLO
When the input voltage is below the Under-Voltage Lock Out
(UVLO) threshold, the regulator is disabled.
Soft-Start-Up
The soft-start-up eliminates the in-rush current during the
start-up. The soft-start block outputs a ramp reference to
both the voltage loop and the current loop. The two ramps
limit the inductor current rising speed as well as the output
voltage speed so that the output voltage rises in a controlled
fashion. At the very beginning of the start-up, the output
voltage is less than 0.2V; hence the PWM operating
frequency is 1/3 of the normal frequency.
Power MOSFETs
The two power MOSFETs are optimized to achieve better
efficiency. The on resistance for the P-Channel MOSFET is
typically 160mΩ and the on resistance for the N-Channel
MOSFET is typically 140mΩ.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
The ISL9105 features 100% duty cycle operation to
maximize the battery life. When the input voltage drops to a
level that the ISL9105 can no longer maintain the switching
regulation at the output, the P-Channel MOSFET is
completely turned on. The maximum drop out voltage under
the 100% duty-cycle operation is the product of the load
current and the on resistance of the P-Channel MOSFET.
Minimum input voltage VIN under this condition is the sum of
output voltage and the voltage drop cross the output inductor
and P-Channel MOSFET.

Applications Information
Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection
To achieve better steady state and transient operation,
ISL9105 typically uses a 4.7µH output inductor. Higher or
lower inductor value 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 current ripple and output voltage ripple, the output
inductor value can be increased. The peak-to-peak inductor
current ripple can be expressed in Equation 1:
V OUT⎞
⎛
V OUT • ⎜ 1 – ----------------⎟
V IN ⎠
⎝
ΔI = ----------------------------------------------------L • fS
(EQ. 1)
In Equation 1, the inductance should consider the value with
worst case tolerances; and for switching frequency fS, the
minimum fS from the Electrical Specifications Table on
page 2 can be used.
To select the inductor, its saturation current rating should be
at least higher than the sum of the maximum output current
and (ΔI)/2 from Equation 1.
ISL9105 uses internal compensation network and the output
capacitor value is dependant on the output voltage. The
ceramic capacitor is recommended to be X5R or X7R.

The main functions for the input capacitor is to provide
decoupling of the parasitic inductance and to provide filtering
function to prevent the switching current flowing back to the
battery rail. A 10μF/6.3V ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R) is
a good starting point for the input capacitor selection.
Output Voltage Setting Resistor Selection
The voltage divider resistors, R2 and R3, shown in Figure 14
set the output voltage. The output voltage can be calculated
by Equation 2:
R 2⎞
⎛
V O = 0.8 • ⎜ 1 + -------⎟
R 3⎠
⎝
(EQ. 2)
where the 0.8V is the reference voltage. The voltage divider,
which consists of R2 and R3, increases the quiescent
current by VO/(R2+R3), so larger resistance is desirable. On
the other hand, the FB pin has leakage current that will
cause error in the output voltage setting. The leakage
current is typically 0.1μA. To minimize the accuracy impact
on the output voltage, select the R3 no larger than 200kΩ.

ISL9105
PCB Layout Recommendation
The PCB layout is a very important converter design step to
make sure the designed converter works well.
For ISL9105, the power loop is composed of the output
inductor L, the output capacitor COUT, the PHASE pin and
the GND 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 pin, 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 to VIN pin as close as
possible. And the ground of input and output capacitors
should be connected as close 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.
