DATASHEET Compact Synchronous Buck Regulator ISL8002B Features The ISL8002B is a highly efficient, monolithic, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A of continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply. It uses peak current mode control architecture to allow very low duty cycle operation. ISL8002B operates at a 2MHz switching frequency, thereby providing superior transient response and allowing for the use of a small inductor. ISL8002B also has excellent stability. • VIN range 2.7V to 5.5V • IOUT maximum is 2A • External soft-start programmable • Output tracking and sequencing • Switching frequency is 2MHz • Selectable PFM or PWM operation option • Overcurrent and short-circuit protection The ISL8002B integrates very low rDS(ON) MOSFETs in order to maximize efficiency. In addition, since the high-side MOSFET is a PMOS, the need for a boot capacitor is eliminated, thereby reducing external component count. • Over-temperature/thermal protection • VIN undervoltage lockout and VOUT overvoltage protection • Up to 95% peak efficiency The device can be configured for either PFM (discontinuous conduction) or PWM (continuous conduction) operation at light load. PFM provides high efficiency by reducing switching losses at light loads and PWM for fast transient response, which helps reduce the output noise and RF interference. Applications • General purpose POL • Industrial, instrumentation and medical equipment • FPGAs The device is offered in a space saving 8 Ld 2mmx2mm TDFN Pb-free package with exposed pad for improved thermal performance. The complete converter occupies less than 64mm2 area. • Telecom and networking equipment • Game console Related Literature • For a full list of related documents, visit our website - ISL8002B product page GND +2.7 V … +5.5 V 1 VIN C1 22µF 2 EN EN 3 4 PG FB 6 0.6V PAD 9 SS/T R 5 +1.8V/2A 100 VOUT C2 3x10µF PG ND 7 M ODE PG L1 PHASE 8 C3 4.7pF R1 200k 1% R2 100k 1% R3 200k 1% 2.5VOUT GND T RACK R4 100k 1% 90 EFFICIENCY (%) ISL8002B VIN 80 1.8VOUT 1.5VOUT 70 1.2VOUT 0.9VOUT 60 0.8VOUT 50 VO R 1 = R 2 ------------ – 1 VFB (EQ. 1) FIGURE 1.

Place a minimum of 10µF ceramic capacitance from VIN to GND and as close as possible to the IC for decoupling. 2 EN Device enable input. When the voltage on this pin rises above 1.4V, the device is enabled. The device is disabled when the pin is pulled to ground. When the device is disabled, a 100Ω resistor discharges the output through the PHASE pin. See Figure 3, “FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM” on page 5 for details. 3 MODE Mode selection pin. Connect to logic high or input voltage VIN for PWM mode. Connect to logic low or ground for PFM mode. There is an internal 1MΩ pull-down resistor to prevent an undefined logic state in case the MODE pin is left floating, however, it is not recommended to leave this pin floating. 4 PG Power-good output is pulled to ground during the soft-start interval and also when the output voltage is below regulation limits. There is an internal 5MΩ internal pull-up resistor on this pin. 5 SS/TR Soft-start pins for regulator. If SS/TR pin is tied to VIN, an internal soft-start of 1ms will be used. A resistor divider from VIN to SS/TR and a capacitor from the SS/TR pin to ground determines the output ramp rate. Adding a resistive divider across SS/TR can be used for output tracking. See “Output Tracking and Sequencing” on page 18 for soft-start and output tracking/sequencing details. Maximum CSS value is 1µF. 6 FB Feedback pin for the regulator. FB is the negative input to the voltage loop error amplifier. The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB. In addition, the power-good PWM regulator’s power-good and undervoltage protection circuits use FB to monitor the output voltage. 7 PGND Power and analog ground connections. Connect directly to the board GND plane. 8 PHASE Power stage switching node for output voltage regulation. Connect to the output inductor. This pin is discharged by a 100Ω resistor when the device is disabled. See Figure 3, “FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM” on page 5 for details. - EPAD Submit Document Feedback The exposed pad must be connected to the PGND pin for proper electrical performance.

OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION, VIN = 5V, MODE = PWM, TA = +25°C Theory of Operation The device is a step-down switching regulator optimized for battery powered applications. It operates at a high switching frequency, which enables the use of smaller inductors resulting in small form factor, while also providing excellent efficiency. Further, at light loads while in PFM mode, the regulator reduces the switching frequency, thereby minimizing the switching loss and maximizing battery life. The quiescent current, when the output is not loaded, is typically only 35µA. The supply current is typically only 20µA when the regulator is shut down. PWM Control Scheme Pulling the MODE pin HI (>2.5V) forces the converter into PWM mode, regardless of output current. The device employs the current-mode Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) control scheme for fast transient response and pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Refer to the “Functional Block Diagram” on page 5. The current loop consists of the oscillator, the PWM comparator, current sensing circuit and the slope compensation for the current loop stability. The slope compensation is 900mV/Ts, which changes with frequency. The gain for the current sensing circuit is typically 300mV/A. The control reference for the current loops comes from the error amplifier's (EAMP) output. FIGURE 55. OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION, VIN = 5V, MODE = PWM, TA = +159°C VEAMP VCSA DUTY CYCLE IL VOUT FIGURE 56. PWM OPERATION WAVEFORMS The reference voltage is 0.6V, which is used by feedback to adjust the output of the error amplifier, VEAMP. 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 1.6V. 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, CSA, and the slope compensation reaches the control reference of the current loop, the PWM comparator COMP sends a signal to the PWM logic to turn off the P-FET and turn on the N-channel MOSFET. The N-FET stays on until the end of the PWM cycle. Figure 56 shows the typical operating waveforms during the PWM operation. The dotted lines illustrate the sum of the slope compensation ramp and the current-sense amplifier’s CSA output. To ensure proper PWM control, minimum on time need to be greater than 90ns. Submit Document Feedback 16 FN8690.3 October 28, 2016 ISL8002B PFM Mode Short-Circuit Protection Pulling the MODE pin LO (<0.4V) forces the converter into PFM mode. The device enters a Pulse-skipping mode at light load to minimize the switching loss by reducing the switching frequency. Figure 57 illustrates the Skip mode operation. A zero-cross sensing circuit shown in Figure 57 monitors the N-FET current for zero crossing. When 16 consecutive cycles of the inductor current crossing zero are detected, the regulator enters the Skip mode. During the sixteen 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. The Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) comparator monitors the VFB pin voltage for output short-circuit protection. When the VFB is lower than 0.3V, 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. Once the Skip mode is entered, the pulse modulation starts being controlled by the SKIP comparator shown in the “Functional Block Diagram” on page 5. Each pulse cycle is still synchronized by the PWM clock. The P-FET is turned on at the clock's rising edge and turned off when the output is higher than 1.5% of the nominal regulation or when its current reaches the peak skip current limit value. Then the inductor current is discharging to 0A and stays at zero. The internal clock is disabled. 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-FET will be turned on again at the rising edge of the internal clock as it repeats the previous operations. The regulator resumes normal PWM mode operation when the output voltage drops 1.5% below the nominal voltage. Overcurrent Protection The overcurrent protection is realized by monitoring the CSA output with the OCP comparator, as shown in the “Functional Block Diagram” on page 5. The current sensing circuit has a gain of 300mV/A, from the P-FET current to the CSA output. When the CSA output reaches a threshold, the OCP comparator is tripped to turn off the P-FET immediately. The overcurrent function protects the switching converter from a shorted output by monitoring the current flowing through the upper MOSFET. Upon detection of an overcurrent condition, the upper MOSFET will be immediately turned off and will not be turned on again until the next switching cycle. If the overcurrent condition goes away, the output will resume back into regulation point. PWM Negative Current Protection Similar to the overcurrent, the negative current protection is realized by monitoring the current across the low-side N-FET, as shown in the “Functional Block Diagram” on page 5. When the valley point of the inductor current reaches -1.8A for 2 consecutive cycles, both P-FET and N-FET shut off. The 100Ω in parallel to the N-FET will activate discharging the output into regulation. The control will begin to switch when output is within regulation. The regulator will be in PFM for 20µs before switching to PWM if necessary. PG PG is an output of a comparator that continuously monitors the buck regulator output voltage. PG is actively held low when EN is low and during the buck regulator soft-start period. After 0.1ms delay of the soft-start period, PG becomes high impedance as long as the output voltage is within nominal regulation voltage set by VFB. When VFB drops 15% below the nominal regulation voltage, the device pulls PG low. Any fault condition forces PG low until the fault condition is cleared by attempts to soft-start. There is an internal 5MΩ pull-up resistor to fit most applications. An external resistor can be added from PG to VIN for more pull-up strength. UVLO When the input voltage is below the Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) threshold, the regulator is disabled. Enable, Disable and Soft Start-Up After the VIN pin exceeds its rising POR trip point (nominal 2.7V), the device begins operation. If the EN pin is held low externally, nothing happens until this pin is released. Once the EN is released and above the logic threshold, the internal default soft-start time is 1ms if SS/TR is tied high above 0.6V.

SKIP MODE OPERATION WAVEFORMS Submit Document Feedback 17 FN8690.3 October 28, 2016 ISL8002B Output Tracking and Sequencing Output soft-start programming, tracking and sequencing between multiple regulators can be implemented by using the SS/TR pin. Independent programming soft-start for each channel is shown in Figure 58. The output ramp time for each channel (tSS) is set by the soft-start capacitor (CSS). Maximum CSS value is 1µF and the SS time should be greater than 1ms. Figures 59, 60, and 61 show several configurations for output tracking/sequencing for a 3.3V and 1.8V application. Ratiometric tracking is achieved in Figure 59 by connecting SS/TR on each channel. The measurement is shown in Figures 26 through 29. By connecting a feedback network from VOUT1 to the SS/TR2 pin with the same ratio that sets VOUT2 voltage, absolute tracking shown in Figure 60 is implemented. The measurement is shown in Figures 18 through 21. If the output of Channel 1 is shorted to GND, it will enter overcurrent mode, SS/TR2 will be pulled low through the added resistor between VOUT1 and SS2 and this will force Channel 2 into being low as well. Figure 61 illustrates output sequencing. When EN1 is transitioned high, VOUT1 comes up first and VOUT2 won't start until OUT1 > 85% of its regulation point.

Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection Thermal Shutdown The device has built-in thermal protection. When the internal temperature reaches +150°C, the regulator is completely shut down. As the temperature drops to +125°C, the device resumes operation by stepping through the soft-start. Power Derating Characteristics To prevent the ISL8002B from exceeding the maximum junction temperature, some thermal analysis is required. The temperature rise is given by Equation 2: (EQ. 2) T RISE = PD JA where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the ambient temperature. The junction temperature, TJ, is given by Equation 3: (EQ. 3) T J = T A + T RISE where TA is the ambient temperature. For the DFN package, the θJA is +71°C/W. The actual junction temperature should not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature of +125°C when considering the thermal design. The ISL8002B delivers full current at ambient temperatures up to +85°C. If the thermal impedance from the thermal pad maintains the junction temperature below the thermal shutdown level, (depending on the input voltage/output voltage combination and the switching frequency) the device power dissipation must be reduced to maintain the junction temperature at or below the thermal shutdown level. Figure 62 illustrates the approximate output current derating versus ambient temperature for the ISL8002DEMO1Z kit. OUTPUT CURRENT (V) 2.5 2.0 1V 1.5 (EQ. 4) The inductor’s saturation current rating needs to be at least larger than the peak current. The device 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. Output Voltage Selection The output voltage of the regulator can be programmed (from 0.6V up to 80% of VIN) 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. The output voltage programming resistor, R2, will depend on the value chosen for the feedback resistor and the desired output voltage of the regulator. The value for the feedback resistor is typically between 10kΩ and 100kΩ, as shown in Equation 5. VO R 1 = R 2 ------------ – 1 VFB (EQ. 5) If the output voltage desired is 0.6V, then R2 is left unpopulated and R1 is shorted. There is a leakage current from VIN to PHASE. It is recommended to preload the output with 10µA minimum. For better performance, add 4.7pF in parallel with R1. Check loop analysis before use in application. The main functions for the input capacitor are to provide decoupling of the parasitic inductance and to provide filtering function to prevent the switching current flowing back to the battery rail. At least two 22µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors are a good starting point for the input capacitor selection. 2.5V 3.3V 0.5 VIN = 5V, OLFM 0 50 60 70 VO V O 1 – --------- V IN I = --------------------------------------L f SW Input Capacitor Selection 1.5V 1.0 To consider steady state and transient operations, the ISL8002B typically requires a 1.2µH 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 ripple current and output voltage ripple, the output inductor value can be increased. It is recommended to set the inductor ripple current to be approximately 30% of the maximum output current for optimized performance. The inductor ripple current can be expressed as shown in Equation 4: 80 90 100 TEMPERATURE (°C) 110 120 130 FIGURE 62. DERATING CURVE vs TEMPERATURE Submit Document Feedback 19 FN8690.3 October 28, 2016 ISL8002B Output Capacitor Selection Layout Considerations An output capacitor is required to filter the inductor current. Output ripple voltage and transient response are two critical factors when considering output capacitance choice. The current mode control loop allows for the use of low ESR ceramic capacitors and thus smaller board layout. Electrolytic and polymer capacitors may also be used. The PCB layout is a very important converter design step to make sure the designed converter works well. The power loop is composed of the output inductor L’s, the output capacitor COUT, the PHASE’s pins and the PGND 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 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 close as possible to the VIN pin and the ground of the 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. It is recommended to add at least four vias ground connection within the pad for the best thermal relief. Additional consideration applies to ceramic capacitors. While they offer excellent overall performance and reliability, the actual in-circuit capacitance must be considered. Ceramic capacitors are rated using large peak-to-peak voltage swings and with no DC bias. In the DC/DC converter application, these conditions do not reflect reality. As a result, the actual capacitance may be considerably lower than the advertised value. Consult the manufacturers datasheet to determine the actual in-application capacitance. Most manufacturers publish capacitance vs DC bias so that this effect can be easily accommodated. The effects of AC voltage are not frequently published, but an assumption of ~20% further reduction will generally suffice. The result of these considerations can easily result in an effective capacitance 50% lower than the rated value. Nonetheless, they are a very good choice in many applications due to their reliability and extremely low ESR. Equations 6 and 7 allow calculation of the required capacitance to meet a desired ripple voltage level. Additional capacitance may be used. For the ceramic capacitors (low ESR) = I V OUTripple = ------------------------------------8 f SW C OUT (EQ. 6) where I is the inductor’s peak-to-peak ripple current, fSW is the switching frequency and COUT is the output capacitor. If using electrolytic capacitors then: V OUTripple = I*ESR (EQ. 7) Regarding transient response needs, a good starting point is to determine the allowable overshoot in VOUT if the load is suddenly removed. In this case, energy stored in the inductor will be transferred to COUT causing its voltage to rise. After calculating capacitance required for both ripple and transient needs, choose the larger of the calculated values. Equation 8 determines the required output capacitor value in order to achieve a desired overshoot relative to the regulated voltage. I OUT 2 * L C OUT = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------V OUT 2 * V OUTMAX V OUT 2 – 1 (EQ. 8) where VOUTMAX/VOUT is the relative maximum overshoot allowed during the removal of the load. For an overshoot of 5%, Equation 8 becomes Equation 9 I OUT 2 * L C OUT = ----------------------------------------------------V OUT 2 * 1.05 2 – 1 Submit Document Feedback (EQ. 9) 20 FN8690.3 October 28, 2016 ISL8002B Revision History The revision history provided is for informational purposes only and is believed to be accurate, but not warranted.
