Intersil ISL8033 Dual 3a low quiescent current high efficiency synchronous buck regulator Datasheet

Dual 3A Low Quiescent Current High Efficiency
Synchronous Buck Regulator
ISL8033, ISL8033A
Features
ISL8033 is a dual integrated power controller rated for 3A per
channel with a 1MHz step-down regulator that is ideal for any low
power low-voltage applications. The ISL8033A offers 2.5MHz
operation for smaller more compacted design. The channels are
180° out-of-phase for input RMS current and EMI reduction. It is
optimized for generating low output voltages down to 0.8V each.
The supply voltage range is from 2.85V to 6V, allowing for the use
of a single Li+ cell, three NiMH cells or a regulated 5V input. It
has a guaranteed minimum output current of 3A each when ISET
is connected to VDD. The output current of each output is
selectable by setting ISET pin.
• Dual 3A High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator with up
to 95% Efficiency
The ISL8033, ISL8033A includes a pair of low ON-resistance
P-Channel and N-Channel internal MOSFETs to maximize
efficiency and minimize external component count. 100% dutycycle operation allows less than 250mV dropout voltage at 3A.
• Negative Current Protection
The ISL8033, ISL8033A offers an independent 1ms Power-Good
(PG) timer at power-up. When shutdown, ISL8033, ISL8033A
discharges the output capacitor. Other features include internal
digital soft-start, enable for power sequence, controllable softstop output discharge during disabled, start-up with pre-biased
output, 100% maximum duty cycle for lowest dropout, 100%
duty cycle operation for smooth transition, less than 8µA logic
controlled shutdown current, independent enable, overcurrent
protection, and thermal shutdown.

Theory of Operation
The ISL8033 is a dual 3A step-down switching regulator optimized
for battery-powered or mobile applications. The regulator operates
at 1MHz fixed switching frequency under heavy load condition. The
ISL8033A operates at 2.5MHz to allow small external inductor and
capacitors to be used for minimal printed-circuit board (PCB) area.
The two channels are 180° out-of-phase operation. The supply
current is typically only 8µA when the regulator is shutdown.
PWM Control Scheme
Pulling the SYNC pin HI (>1.5V) forces the converter into PWM
mode in the next switching cycle regardless of output current.
Each of the channels of the ISL8033, ISL8033A employ the
current-mode pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme for
fast transient response and pulse-by-pulse current limiting, as
shown in the “Theory of Operation” on page 14. 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. The gain for the current sensing circuit is
typically 0.20V/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 on Channel 2) and the
compensation slope (0.46V/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 40 shows the typical operating waveforms during the PWM
operation. The dotted lines illustrate the sum of the compensation
ramp and the current-sense amplifier CSA_ output.
14
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 VFB pin. The soft-start block only affects the
operation during the start-up and will be discussed separately.
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 390kΩ RC network.
The maximum EAMP voltage output is precisely clamped to the
bandgap voltage (1.172V).

Synchronization Control (ISL8033)
The frequency of operation can be synchronized up to 6MHz by an
external signal applied to the SYNC pin. The 1st falling edge on the
SYNC triggered the rising edge of the PWM ON pulse of Channel 1. The
2nd falling edge of the SYNC triggers the rising edge of the PWM ON
pulse of the Channel 2. This process alternates indefinitely allowing
180° output phase operation between the two channels.

Overcurrent Protection
CAS1 and CSA2 are 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 Figure 40. The current sensing circuit has a gain of
0.20V/A, from the P-MOSFET current to the CSA output. When
the CSA1 output reaches the threshold set by ISET, 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. Upon detection of the initial overcurrent condition,
the Overcurrent Fault Counter is set to 1 and the Overcurrent
Condition Flag is set from LOW to HIGH. If, on the subsequent cycle,
another overcurrent condition is detected, the OC Fault Counter will
be incremented. If there are 17 sequential OC fault detections, the
regulator will be shutdown under an Overcurrent Fault Condition. An
Overcurrent Fault Condition will result in the regulator attempting to
restart in a hiccup mode with the delay between restarts being 4
soft-start periods. At the end of the fourth soft-start wait period, the
fault counters are reset and soft-start is attempted again. If the
overcurrent condition goes away prior to the OC Fault Counter
reaching a count of four, the Overcurrent Condition Flag will set back
to LOW.
If the negative output current reaches -2.5A, the part enters
Negative Overcurrent Protection. At this point, all switching stops
and the part enters tri-state mode while the pull-down FET is
discharging the output until it reaches normal regulation voltage,
then the IC restarts.
0.5V; hence the PWM operating frequency is 1/2 of the normal
frequency.
When the IC ramps up at start-up, it can’t sink current even at
PWM mode.
Discharge Mode (Soft-Stop)
When a transition to shutdown mode occurs, or the output
undervoltage fault latch is set, its output discharges to PGND
through an internal 100Ω switch.
Power MOSFETs
The power MOSFETs are optimize for best efficiency. The ONresistance for the P-MOSFET is typically 50mΩ and the ONresistance for the N-MOSFET is typical 50mΩ.
100% Duty Cycle
The ISL8033 features 100% duty cycle operation to maximize
the battery life. When the battery voltage drops to a level that the
ISL8033, ISL8033A can no longer maintain the regulation at the
output, the regulator completely turns on the P-MOSFET. The
maximum drop-out voltage under the 100% duty-cycle operation
is the product of the load current and the ON-resistance of the PMOSFET.
Thermal Shutdown
The ISL8033, ISL8033A has built-in thermal protection. When the
internal temperature reaches +150°C, the regulator is completely
shutdown. As the temperature drops to +125°C, the ISL8033,
ISL8033A resumes operation by stepping through a soft start-up.
Applications Information
PG
Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection
There are two independent power-good signals. PG1 monitors
the Output Channel 1 and PG2 monitors the Output Channel 2.
When powering up, the open-collector Power-On Reset output
holds low for about 1ms after VO reaches the preset voltage. The
PG_ output also serves as a 1ms delayed Power-Good signal.
To consider steady state and transient operation, ISL8033
typically uses a 1.5µH output inductor. Higher or lower inductor
value can be used to optimize the total converter system
performance. For example, for a 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 inductor ripple current can be expressed in Equation 1:
UVLO
When the input voltage is below the undervoltage lock out (UVLO)
threshold, the regulator is disabled.
Enable
The enable (EN) input allows the user to control the turning on or
off the regulator for purposes such as power-up sequencing.
When the regulator is enabled, there is typically a 600µs delay
for waking up the bandgap reference and then the soft-start-up
will begin.
Soft Start-Up
The soft start-up eliminates the inrush current during the startup. 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 1/2 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

(EQ. 1)
The inductor’s saturation current rating needs be at least larger
than the peak current. The ISL8033, ISL8033A protects the
typical peak current 4.8A. The saturation current needs be over
4.8A for maximum output current application.
ISL8033, ISL8033A uses an 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 for the
ISL8033, ISL8033A are shown in Tables 1 and 2 on page 2.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the regulator can be programmed via an
external resistor divider, which 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 Figure 2.
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. Let R2 = 124kΩ, then R3 will be:
R 2 x0.8V
R 3 = ------------------------------V OUT – 0.8V
(EQ. 2)
For better performance, add 12pF in parallel to R2. If the output
voltage desired is 0.8V, then leave R3 unpopulated and short 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 22µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is a good
starting point for the input capacitor selection per channel.
PCB Layout Recommendation
The PCB layout is a very important converter design step to make
sure the designed converter works well. For ISL8033, the power
loop is composed of the output inductor L’s, the output capacitor
COUT1 and COUT2, the LX’s pins, and the SGND 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 . Also, the
ground of the 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.
