Intersil ISL8088 Dual 800ma low quiescent current 2.25mhz high efficiency synchronous buck regulator Datasheet

ISL8088
Features
The ISL8088 is a high efficiency, dual synchronous
step-down DC/DC regulator that can deliver up to 800mA
continuous output current per channel. The supply
voltage range of 2.75V to 5.5V allows the use of a single
Li+ cell, three NiMH cells or a regulated 5V input. The
current mode control architecture enables very low duty
cycle operation at high frequency with fast transient
response and excellent loop stability. The ISL8088
operates at 2.25MHz switching frequency allowing the
use of small, low cost inductors and capacitors. Each
channel is optimized for generating an output voltage as
low as 0.6V.
• Internal Current Mode Compensation
The ISL8088 has a user configurable mode of
operation-forced PWM mode and PFM/PWM mode. The
forced PWM mode operation reduces noise and RF
interference while the PFM mode operation provides high
efficiency by reducing switching losses at light loads. In
PFM mode of operation, both channels draw a total
quiescent current of only 30µA hence enabling high light
load efficiency in order to maximize battery life.
• 100% Maximum Duty Cycle for Lowest Dropout
• Selectable Forced PWM Mode and PFM Mode
• External Synchronization up to 4MHz
• Start-up with Pre-biased Output
• Soft-Stop Output Discharge During Disabled
• Internal Digital Soft-Start - 2ms
• Power-Good (PG) Output with 1ms Delay
Applications*(see page 17)
• DC/DC POL Modules
• µC/µP, FPGA and DSP Power
• Plug-in DC/DC Modules for Routers and Switchers
• Test and Measurement Systems
• Li-ion Battery Power Devices
• Bar Code Readers
The ISL8088 offers a 1ms Power-Good (PG) to monitor
both output at power-up. When shutdown, ISL8088
discharges the outputs capacitor. Other features include
internal digital soft-start, enable for power sequence,
overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown. The
ISL8088 is offered in a 3mmx3mm 10 Ld DFN package
with 1mm maximum height. The complete converter
occupies less than 1.8cm2 area.

DESCRIPTION
1
FB1
The feedback network of the Channel 1 regulator. FB1 is the negative input to the transconductance error
amplifier. The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB1. With a properly selected
divider, the output voltage can be set to any voltage between the power rail (reduced by converter losses) and
the 0.6V reference. There is an internal compensation to meet a typical application. In addition, the regulator
power-good and undervoltage protection circuitry use FB1 to monitor the Channel 1 regulator output voltage.
2
EN1
Regulator Channel 1 enable pin. Enable the output, VOUT1, when driven to high. Shutdown the VOUT1 and
discharge output capacitor when driven to low. Do not leave this pin floating.

FB2
The feedback network of the Channel 2 regulator. FB2 is the negative input to the transconductance error
amplifier. The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB2. With a properly selected
divider, the output voltage can be set to any voltage between the power-rail (reduced by converter losses) and
the 0.6V reference. There is an internal compensation to meet a typical application.
In addition, the regulator power-good and undervoltage protection circuitry use FB2 to monitor the Channel 2
regulator output voltage.

ISL8088
Theory of Operation
The ISL8088 is a dual 800mA step-down switching
regulator optimized for battery-powered or mobile
applications. The regulator operates at 2.25MHz fixed
switching frequency under heavy load conditions 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 two channels
are in-phase operation. The quiescent current when the
outputs are not loaded is typically only 30µA. The supply
current is typically only 6.5µA when the regulator is shut
down.
The dotted lines illustrate the sum of the compensation
ramp and the current-sense amplifier CSA-output.
The output voltage is regulated by controlling the
reference voltage to the current loop. The bandgap
circuit outputs a 0.6V reference voltage to the voltage
control loop. The feedback signal comes from the VFB
pin. The soft-start block only affects the operation during
the start-up and will be discussed separately shortly. The
error amplifier is a transconductance amplifier that
converts the voltage error signal to a current output. The
voltage loop is internally compensated with the 27pF and
200kΩ RC network. The maximum EAMP voltage output
is precisely clamped to 0.8V.
VEAMP
PWM Control Scheme
Pulling the SYNC pin LOW (<0.4V) forces the converter
into PWM mode in the next switching cycle regardless of
output current. Each of the channels of the ISL8088
employ the current-mode pulse-width modulation
(PWM) control scheme for fast transient response and
pulse-by-pulse current limiting shown in the “Block
Diagram” on page 13. 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
resistance of the P-Channel MOSFET when it is turned
on and the current sense amplifier CSA1 (or CSA2 on
Channel 2). The gain for the current sensing circuit is
typically 0.285V/A. 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
MOSFET starts to ramp-up. When the sum of the
current amplifier CSA1 (or CSA2) and the compensation
slope (0.33V/µs) reaches the control reference of the
current loop, the PWM comparator COMP sends a signal
to the PWM logic to turn off the P-MOSFET and to turn
on the N-Channel MOSFET. The N-MOSFET stays on
until the end of the PWM cycle. Figure 42 shows the
typical operating waveforms during the PWM operation.

SKIP Mode
Pulling the SYNC pin HIGH (>2.0V) forces the converter
into PFM mode. The ISL8088 enters a pulse-skipping
mode at light load to minimize the switching loss by
reducing the switching frequency. Figure 43 illustrates
the skip-mode operation. A zero-cross sensing circuit
shown in the “Block Diagram” on page 13 monitors the
N-MOSFET current for zero crossing. When 8 consecutive
cycles of the N-MOSFET crossing zero are detected, the
regulator enters the skip mode. During the 8 detecting
cycles, the current in the inductor is allowed to become
negative. The counter is reset to zero when the current in
any cycle does not cross zero.

ISL8088
Once the skip mode is entered, the pulse modulation
starts being controlled by the SKIP comparator shown in
the “Block Diagram” on page 13. Each pulse cycle is still
synchronized by the PWM clock. The P-MOSFET is turned
on at the clock and turned off when its current reaches
the threshold of 250mA. 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-MOSFET is turned off immediately. Then the
inductor current is fully discharged to zero and stays at
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-MOSFET will be turned on again at the clock, repeating
the previous operations.
The regulator resumes normal PWM mode operation
when the output voltage drops 1.5% below the nominal
voltage.
Synchronization Control
UVLO
When the input voltage is below the undervoltage lock
out (UVLO) threshold, the regulator is disabled.
Enable
The enable (EN1, EN2) input allows user to control the
turning on or off the regulator for purposes such as
power-up sequencing. The regulator is enabled, there is
typically a 600µs delay for waking up the bandgap
reference, then the soft start-up begins.
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.
The frequency of operation can be synchronized up to
4MHz by an external signal applied to the SYNC pin. The
falling edge on the SYNC triggered the rising edge of the
PWM ON pulse.
In force PWM mode, the IC will continue to start-up in
PFM mode to support pre-biased load applications.
Overcurrent Protection
When a transition to shutdown mode occurs, or the
output undervoltage fault latch is set, the outputs
discharge to GND through an internal 100Ω switch.
CSA1 and CSA2 is used to monitor output 1 and output 2
channels respectively. The overcurrent protection is
realized by monitoring the CSA_ output with the OCP
threshold logic, as shown in “Block Diagram” on page 13.
The current sensing circuit has a gain of 0.285V/A, from
the P-MOSFET current to the CSA_output. When the
CSA_ output reaches the threshold of 590mV, the OCP
comparator is tripped to turn off the P-MOSFET
immediately. The overcurrent function protects the
switching converter from a shorted output by
monitoring the current flowing through the upper
MOSFETs.
Upon detection of overcurrent condition, the upper
MOSFET will be immediately turned off and will not be
turned on again until the next switching cycle.
Discharge Mode (Soft-Stop)
Power MOSFETs
The power MOSFETs are optimize for best efficiency. The
ON-resistance for the P-MOSFET is typically 180mΩ and
the ON-resistance for the N-MOSFET is typical 180mΩ.
100% Duty Cycle
The ISL8088 features 100% duty cycle operation to
maximize the battery life. When the battery voltage
drops to a level that the ISL8088 can no longer maintain
the regulation at the output, the regulator completely
turns on the P-MOSFET. The maximum dropout voltage
under the 100% duty-cycle operation is the product of
the load current and the ON-resistance of the P-MOSFET.
Thermal Shut-Down
PG
The power-good signal, (PG) monitors both of the output
channels. When powering up, the open-collector
power-on-reset output holds low for about 1ms after VO1
and VO2 reaches the preset voltages. The PG output also
serves as a 1ms delayed Power-Good signal. If one of the
output is disabled, then PG only monitors the active
channels. There is an internal 1MΩ pull-up resistor.

The ISL8088 has built-in thermal protection. When the
internal temperature reaches +150°C, the regulator is
completely shut down. As the temperature drops to
+130°C, the ISL8088 resumes operation by stepping
through a soft-start-up.
Applications Information
Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection
To consider steady state and transient operation,
ISL8088 typically uses a 2.2µH output inductor. Higher or
lower inductor values can be used to optimize the total
converter system performance. For example, for higher
output voltage 3.3V applications, in order to decrease the
inductor current ripple and output voltage ripple, the
FN6858.1

output inductor value can be increased. The inductor
ripple current can be expressed as shown in Equation 1:
VO ⎞
⎛
V O • ⎜ 1 – ---------⎟
V IN⎠
⎝
ΔI = --------------------------------------L • fS
(EQ. 1)
The inductor’s saturation current rating needs be at least
larger than the peak current. The ISL8088 protects the
typical peak current 1.2A. The saturation current needs
be over 1.8A for maximum output current application.
ISL8088 uses internal compensation network and the
output capacitor value is dependent on the output
voltage. The ceramic capacitor is recommended to be
X5R or X7R. The recommended minimum output
capacitor values are shown in Table 2 for the ISL8088.
TABLE 2. OUTPUT CAPACITOR VALUE vs VOUT ISL8088
The output voltage programming resistor, R2 (or R5 in
Channel 2), will depend on the desired output voltage of
the regulator. The value for the feedback resistor is
typically between 0Ω and 750kΩ as shown in Equation 2.
Let R3 = 100kΩ, then R2 will be:
⎛ V OUT
⎞
R 2 = R 3 ⎜ ---------------- – 1⎟
⎝ V FB
⎠
(EQ. 2)
If the output voltage desired is 0.6V, then R3 is left
unpopulated and short R2. For faster response
performance, add 47pF in parallel to R2.
Input Capacitor Selection
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. One 10µF X5R or X7R ceramic
capacitor is a good starting point for the input capacitor
selection for both channels.

The PCB layout is a very important converter design step
to make sure the designed converter works well. For
ISL8088, the power loop is composed of the output
inductor (L’s), the output capacitor (COUT1 and COUT2),
the LX’s pins, 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 LX_ pins, 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 as closely as possible to
the VIN pin. The ground of input and output capacitors
should be connected as closely 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. It is recommended to
add at least 5 vias ground connection within the pad for
the best thermal relief.
In Table 2, the minimum output capacitor value is given
for different output voltage to make sure the whole
converter system is stable.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the regulator can be programmed
via an external resistor divider that is used to scale the
output voltage relative to the internal reference voltage
and feed it back to the inverting input of the error
amplifier. Refer to “Typical Application” on page 2.
