ISL6455EVAL1Z: 600mA Synchronous Buck
Regulator with Integrated MOSFETs
®
Application Note
The ISL6455 is a highly integrated triple output regulator
which provides a single chip solution for FPGAs and wireless
chipset power management. The device integrates a high
efficiency synchronous buck regulator (adjustable) with two
ultra low noise LDO regulators (adjustable). Either the
ISL6455 or ISL6455A can be selected based on whether
3.3V ±10% or 5V ±10% is required as an input voltage.
The synchronous current mode control PWM regulator with
integrated N-Channel and P-Channel power MOSFET
provides adjustable voltages based on external resistor
setting. Synchronous rectification with internal MOSFETs is
used to achieve higher efficiency and reduced number of
external components. Operating frequency is typically
750kHz allowing the use of smaller inductor and capacitor
values. The device can be synchronized to an external clock
signal in the range of 500kHz to 1MHz. The PG_PWM
output indicates loss of regulation on PWM output.
The ISL6455 also has two LDO adjustable regulators using
internal PMOS transistors as pass devices. LDO2 features
ultra low noise typically below 30µVRMS to aid VCO stability.
The EN_LDO pin controls LDO1 and LDO2 outputs. The
ISL6455 also integrates a RESET function, which eliminates
the need for additional RESET IC required in WLAN and
other applications. The IC asserts a RESET signal whenever
the VIN supply voltage drops below a preset threshold,
keeping it asserted for at least 25ms after VIN has risen
above the reset threshold. The PG_LDO output indicates
loss of regulation on either of the two LDO outputs. Other
features include overcurrent protection and thermal
shutdown for all the three outputs.

What’s Inside
Evaluating the Other Output Voltage
The Evaluation Board Kit contains the following materials:
The ISL6455 EVAL kit outputs are preset to VOUT = 2.5V;
VOUT1 = 1.8V, and VOUT2 = 1.2V. The ISL6455A EVAL kit
outputs are preset to VOUT = 3.3V; VOUT1 = 2.5V and
VOUT2 = 1.2V. Output voltages can be adjusted from 0.8V to
2.5V with ISL6455 (VIN = 3.3V), and from 0.8V to 3.3V with
ISL6455A (VIN = 5V) using the following equations:
• The ISL6455 EVAL REVD board
• The ISL6455 datasheet
• This EVAL KIT document

Quick Setup Guide
Frequency
The ISL6455EVAL1Z and ISL6455AEVAL1Z can operate at
a switching frequency of 750kHZ, however, the switching
frequency can adjust from 500kHz to1MHz by using the sync
pin (P9).
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN the plus terminal to
J1(VIN) and the negative return to J2(GND).
3. Turn on the power supply. For the ISL6455, the input
voltage should be 3.3V. For the ISL6455A, the input
voltage should be 5V.
