Wide VIN Dual Standard Buck Regulator With 3A/3A
Continuous Output Current
ISL85033
Features
The ISL85033 is a dual standard buck regulator capable of 3A
per channel continuous output current. With an input range of
4.5V to 28V, it provides a high frequency power solution for a
variety of point of load applications.
• Wide Input Voltage Range from 4.5V to 28V
• Adjustable Output Voltage with Continuous Output Current
up to 3A
• Current Mode Control
The PWM controller in the ISL85033 drives an internal
switching N-Channel power MOSFET and requires an external
Schottky diode to generate the output voltage. The integrated
power switch is optimized for excellent thermal performance
up to 3A of output current. The PWM regulator switches at a
default frequency of 500kHz and it can be user programmed
or synchronized from 300kHz to 2MHz. The ISL85033 utilizes
peak current mode control to provide flexibility in component
selection and minimize solution size. The protection features
include overcurrent, UVLO and thermal overload protection.
• Adjustable Switching Frequency from 300kHz to 2MHz
• Independent Power-Good Detection
• Selectable In-Phase or Out-of-Phase PWM Operation
• Independent, Sequential, Ratiometric or Absolute Tracking
Between Outputs
• Internal 2ms Soft-start Time

FB1, FB2
Feedback pin for the regulator. FB is the negative input to the voltage loop error amplifier. COMP is the
output of the error amplifier. The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB.
In addition, the PWM regulator’s power-good and undervoltage protection circuits use FB1/2 to monitor the
regulator output voltage.
3, 19
SS1, SS2
Soft-Start pins for each controller. The SS1/2 pins control the soft-start and sequence of their respective
outputs. A single capacitor from the SS pin to ground determines the output ramp rate. See the “Output
Tracking and Sequencing” on page 16 for soft-start and output tracking/sequencing details. If SS pins are
tied to VCC, an internal soft-start of 2ms will be used.
4, 18
PGND1, PGND2
Power ground connections. Connect directly to the system GND plane.
5, 17
BOOT1, BOOT2
Floating bootstrap supply pin for the power MOSFET gate driver. The bootstrap capacitor provides the
necessary charge to turn on the internal N-Channel MOSFET. Connect an external capacitor from this pin to
PHASE.
6, 7, 15, 16
PHASE1, PHASE2
Switch node output. It connects the source of the internal power MOSFET with the external output inductor
and with the cathode of the external diode.
8, 9, 13, 14
VIN1, VIN2
The input supply for the power stage of the PWM regulator and the source for the internal linear regulator
that provides bias for the IC. Place a minimum of 10µF ceramic capacitance from each VIN to GND and
close to the IC for decoupling.
10, 12
EN1, EN2
PWM controller’s enable inputs. The PWM controllers are held off when the pin is pulled to ground. When
the voltage on this pin rises above 2V, the PWM controller is enabled.
11

SYNCIN
Connect to an external signal for synchronization from 300kHz to 2MHz (negative edge trigger). SYNCIN is
not allowed to be floating.
When SYNCIN = logic 0, PHASE1 and PHASE2 are running at 180° out-of-phase.
When SYNCIN = logic 1, PHASE1 and PHASE2 are running at 0° in-phase.
When SYNCIN = an external clock, PHASE1 and PHASE2 are running at 180° out-of-phase.
External SYNC frequency applied to the SYNCIN pin should be at least 2.4 times the internal switching
frequency setting.

PD
Signal ground connections. The exposed pad must be connected to SGND and soldered to the PCB. All
voltage levels are measured with respect to this pin.
Open drain power-good output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is below regulation limits
or during the soft-start interval. There is an internal 5MΩ internal pull-up resistor.
The exposed pad must be connected to the system GND plane with as many vias as possible for proper
electrical and thermal performance.

ISL85033
Detailed Description
The ISL85033 combines a standard buck PWM controller with an
integrated switching MOSFET. The buck controller drives an
internal N-Channel MOSFET and requires an external diode to
deliver load current up to 3A. A Schottky diode is recommended
for improved efficiency and performance over a standard diode.
The standard buck regulator can operate from an unregulated DC
source, such as a battery, with a voltage ranging from +4.5V to
+28V. The converter output can be regulated to as low as 0.8V.
These features make the ISL85033 ideally suited for FPGA,
set-top boxes, LCD panels, DVD drives, and wireless chipset
power applications.
The ISL85033 employs a peak current mode control loop which
simplifies feedback loop compensation and rejects input voltage
variation. External feedback loop compensation allows flexibility
in output filter component selection. The regulator switches at a
default 500kHz and it can be adjusted from 300kHz to 2MHz
with a resistor from FS to GND. The ISL85033 is also
synchronizable from 300kHz to 2MHz.
forces PG low until the fault condition is cleared by attempts to
soft-start. There is an internal 5MΩ internal pull-up resistor.
Output Voltage Selection
The regulator output voltages is easily programmed using an
external resistor divider to scale VOUT relative to the internal
reference voltage. The scaled voltage is applied to the inverting
input of the error amplifier; refer to Figure 38.
The output voltage programming resistor, R2, depends on the
value chosen for the feedback resistor, R3, and the desired
output voltage, VOUT, of the regulator. Equation 1 describes the
relationship between VOUT and resistor values. R3 is often
chosen to be in the 1kΩ to 10kΩ range.
R 2 = ( V OUT – 0.8 ) • R 3 ⁄ 0.8
If the desired output voltage is 0.8V, then R3 is left unpopulated
and R2 is zero ohm.

REFERENCE
Power-On Reset and Undervoltage Lockout
The ISL85033 automatically initializes upon receipt of input
power supply. The power-on reset (POR) function continually
monitors VIN1 voltage. While below the POR threshold, the
controller inhibits switching of the internal power MOSFET. Once
exceeded, the controller initializes the internal soft-start circuitry.
If VIN1 supply drops below their falling POR threshold during softstart or operation, the buck regulator is disabled until the input
voltage returns.
Enable and Disable
When EN1 and EN2 are pulled low, the device enters shutdown
mode and the supply current drops to a typical value of 20µA. All
internal power devices are held in a high-impedance state while
in shutdown mode.
The EN pin enables the controller of the ISL85033. When the
voltage on the EN pin exceeds its logic rising threshold, the
controller initiates the 2ms soft-start function for the PWM
regulator. If the voltage on the EN pin drops below the falling
threshold, the buck regulator shuts down.
Power Good
PG is the open-drain output of a window comparator that
continuously monitors the buck regulator output voltage via the FB
pin. PG is actively held low when EN is low and during the buck
regulator soft-start period. After the soft-start period terminates,
PG becomes high impedance as long as the output voltage
(monitored on the FB pin) is above 90% of the nominal regulation
voltage set by FB. When VOUT drops 10% below the nominal
regulation voltage, the ISL85033 pulls PG low. Any fault condition

Output Tracking and Sequencing
Output tracking and sequencing between channels can be
implemented by using the SS1 and SS2 pins. Figures 39, 40 and
41 show several configurations for output tracking/sequencing
for a 2.5V and 1.8V application. Independent soft-start for each
channel is shown in Figure 39 and measured in Figure 29. The
output ramp-time for each channel (tSS) is set by the soft-start
capacitor (CSS).
C SS [ μF ] = 2.5*t SS ( s )
(EQ. 2)
Ratiometric tracking is achieved in Figure 40 by using the same
value for the soft-start capacitor on each channel; it is measured
in Figure 30.
By connecting a feedback network from VOUT1 to the SS2 pin
with the same ratio that sets VOUT2 voltage, absolute tracking
shown in Figure 41 is implemented. The measurement is shown
in Figure 31. If the output of Channel 1 is shorted to GND, it will
enter overcurrent hiccup mode, SS2 will be pulled low through
the added resistor between VOUT1 and SS2 and this will force
Channel 2 into hiccup as well. If the output of Channel 2 is
shorted to GND with VOUT1 in regulation, it will enter overcurrent
hiccup mode with a very short hiccup waiting time. The reason is
that VOUT1 is still in regulation and can pull-up SS2 very quickly
via the resistor added between VOUT1 and SS2.

Figure 42 illustrates output sequencing. When EN1 is high and
EN2 is floating, OUT1 comes up first and OUT2 won't start until
OUT1 > 90% of its regulation point. If EN1 is floating and EN2 is
high, OUT2 comes up first and OUT1 won't start until OUT2 > 90%
of its regulation point. If EN1 = EN2 = high, OUT1 and OUT2 come
up at the same time. Please refer to Table 1 for conditions

Protection Features
Buck Regulator Overcurrent Protection
During the PWM on-time, the current through the internal
switching MOSFET is sampled and scaled through an internal
pilot device. The sampled current is compared to a nominal 5A
overcurrent limit. If the sampled current exceeds the overcurrent
limit reference level, an internal overcurrent fault counter is set
to 1 and an internal flag is set. The internal power MOSFET is
immediately turned off and will not be turned on again until the
next switching cycle.
The protection circuitry continues to monitor the current and
turns off the internal MOSFET as described. If the overcurrent
condition persists for 17 sequential clock cycles, the overcurrent
fault counter overflows indicating an overcurrent fault condition
exists. The regulator is shut down and power-good goes low.
The buck controller attempts to recover from the overcurrent
condition after waiting 8 soft-start cycles. The internal
overcurrent flag and counter are reset. A normal soft-start cycle
is attempted and normal operation continues if the fault

condition has cleared. If the overcurrent fault counter overflows
during soft-start, the converter shuts down and this hiccup mode
operation repeats.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection limits maximum junction
temperature in the ISL85033. When the junction temperature
(TJ) exceeds +150°C, a thermal sensor sends a signal to the fault
monitor.
The fault monitor commands the buck regulator to shut down.
When the junction temperature has decreased by 20°C, the
regulator will attempt a normal soft-start sequence and return to
normal operation. For continuous operation, the +125°C
junction temperature rating should not be exceeded.
BOOT Undervoltage Protection
If the BOOT capacitor voltage falls below 2.5V, the BOOT
undervoltage protection circuit will pull the phase pin low through
a 1Ω switch for 400ns to recharge the capacitor. This operation
may arise during long periods of no switching as in no load
situations.
Application Guidelines
The ISL85033 operates at a default switching frequency of
500kHz if FS is tied to VCC. Tie a resistor from FS to GND to
program the switching frequency from 300kHz to 2MHz, as
shown in Equation 3.
(EQ. 3)
Where:
t is the switching period in µs.
300
RFS (kΩ)
The frequency of operation can be synchronized up to 2MHz by
an external signal applied to the SYNCIN pin. The falling edge on
the SYNCIN triggers the rising edge of PHASE1/2. The switching
frequency for each output is half of the SYNCIN frequency.
Output Inductor Selection
The inductor value determines the converter’s ripple current.
Choosing an inductor current requires a somewhat arbitrary
choice of ripple current, ΔI. A reasonable starting point is 30% of
total load current. The inductor value can then be calculated
using Equation 4:
V IN – V OUT V OUT
L = ---------------------------- × ------------Fs × ΔI
V IN
(EQ. 4)
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current and
thus ripple voltage. However, the larger inductance value may
reduce the converter’s response time to a load transient. The
inductor current rating should be such that it will not saturate in
overcurrent conditions.
Buck Regulator Output Capacitor Selection
An output capacitor is required to filter the inductor current.
Output ripple voltage and transient response are 2 critical factors
when considering output capacitance choice. The current mode
control loop allows the usage of low ESR ceramic capacitors and
thus smaller board layout. Electrolytic and polymer capacitors
may also be used.

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 data sheet 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.
The following equations allow calculation of the required
capacitance to meet a desired ripple voltage level. Additional
capacitance may be used.

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. The following equation
determines the required output capacitor value in order to
achieve a desired overshoot relative to the regulated voltage.
If capacitors other than MLCC are used, attention must be paid to
ripple and surge current ratings.

Current Sharing Configuration
In current sharing configuration, FB1 is connected to FB2, EN1 to
EN2, COMP1 to COMP2 and VOUT1 to VOUT2 as shown in
Figure 3. As a result, the equivalent gm doubles its single
channel value. Since the two channels are out-of-phase, the
frequency will be 2X the channel switching frequency. Ripple
current cancellation will reduce the ripple current seen by the
output capacitors and thus lower the ripple voltage. This results
in the ability to use less capacitance than would be required by a
single phase design of similar rating. Ripple current cancellation
also reduces the ripple current seen at the input capacitors.
Input Capacitor Selection
To reduce the resulting input voltage ripple and to minimize EMI by
forcing the very high frequency switching current into a tight local loop,
an input capacitor is required. The input capacitor must have adequate
ripple current rating which can be approximated by the Equation 9.
19
The compensator schematic is shown in Figure 47. As mentioned
in the COUT selection, ISL85033 allows the usage of low ESR
output capacitor. Choice of the loop bandwidth fc is somewhat
arbitrary but should not exceed 1/4 of the switching frequency.
As a starting point, the lower of 100kHz or 1/6 of the switching
frequency is reasonable. The following equations determine
initial component values for the compensation, allowing the
designer to make the selection with minimal effort. Further detail
is provided in “Theory of Compensation” on page 20 to allow fine
tuning of the compensator.
Compensation resistor R1 is given by Equation 10:

R1 = 96kΩ.

C1 = 815pF, C2 = 2.5pF (There is approximately 3pF parasitic
capacitance from VCOMP to GND; therefore, C2 is optional).
Theory of Compensation
The sensed current signal is injected into the voltage loop to
achieve current mode control to simplify the loop compensation
design. The inductor is not considered as a state variable for
current mode control and the system becomes a single order
system. It is much easier to design a compensator to stabilize the
voltage loop than voltage mode control. Figure 46 shows the
small signal model of the synchronous buck regulator.

be easily used to stabilize the system.

Rectifier Selection
Current circulates from ground to the junction of the external
Schottky diode and the inductor when the high-side switch is off.
As a consequence, the polarity of the switching node is negative
with respect to ground. This voltage is approximately -0.5V (a
Schottky diode drop) during the off-time. The rectifier's rated
reverse breakdown voltage must be at least equal to the
maximum input voltage, preferably with a 20% derating factor.
The power dissipation when the Schottky diode conducts is
expressed in Equation 27:

(EQ. 27)
Where:
VD is the voltage drop of the Schottky diode. Selection of the
Schottky diode is critical in terms of the high temperature
reverse bias leakage current which is very dependent on VIN and

exponentially increasing with temperature. Due to the nature of
reverse bias leakage vs temperature, the diode should be
carefully selected to operate in the worst case circuit conditions.
Catastrophic failure is possible if the diode chosen experiences
thermal runaway at elevated temperatures. Please refer to
Application Note for diode selection.
Power Derating Characteristics
To prevent the ISL85033 from exceeding the maximum junction
temperature, some thermal analysis is required. The
temperature rise is given by Equation 28:
(EQ. 28)
T RISE = ( PD ) ( θ 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 29:
(EQ. 29)
T J = ( T A + T RISE )
where TA is the ambient temperature. For the QFN package, the
θJA is +38°C/W.
The actual junction temperature should not exceed the absolute
maximum junction temperature of +125°C When considering
the thermal design, remember to consider the thermal needs of
the rectifier diode.
MAXIMUM AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE (°C)
The ISL85033 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 49
illustrates the power derating versus ambient temperature for
the ISL85033 EVAL kit. Note that the EVAL kit derating curve is
based on total circuit dissipation, not IC dissipation alone.

TOTAL POWER DISSIPATION (W)
As an example, consider the turn-off transition of the upper
MOSFET. Prior to turn-off, the MOSFET is carrying the full load
current. During turn-off, current stops flowing in the MOSFET and
is picked up by the Schottky diode. Any parasitic inductance in
the switched current path generates a large voltage spike during
the switching interval. Careful component selection, tight layout
of the critical components, and short, wide traces minimizes the
magnitude of voltage spikes.
There are two sets of critical components in the ISL85033
switching converter. The switching components are the most
critical because they switch large amounts of energy, and
therefore tend to generate large amounts of noise. Next, are the
small signal components which connect to sensitive nodes or
supply critical bypass current and signal coupling.
A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure 50
shows the connections of the critical components in the
converter. Note that capacitors CIN and COUT could each
represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid
layer, usually a middle layer of the PC board, for a ground plane
and make all critical component ground connections with vias to
this layer. Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and
break this plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels.
Keep the metal runs from the PHASE terminals to the output
inductor short. The power plane should support the input power
and output power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top
and bottom circuit layers for the phase nodes. Use the remaining
printed circuit layers for small signal wiring.
In order to dissipate heat generated by the internal LDO and MOSFET,
the ground pad should be connected to the internal ground plane
through at least four vias. This allows the heat to move away from the IC
and also ties the pad to the ground plane through a low impedance
path.
The switching components should be placed close to the
ISL85033 first. Minimize the length of the connections between
the input capacitors, CIN, and the power switches by placing
them nearby. Position both the ceramic and bulk input capacitors
as close to the upper MOSFET drain as possible. Position the
output inductor and output capacitors between the upper and
Schottky diode and the load.
ΘJA = 38°C/W

can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit, and lead to
device overvoltage stress. Careful component layout and printed
circuit board design minimizes these voltage spikes.
11
12
The critical small signal components include any bypass
capacitors, feedback components, and compensation
components. Place the PWM converter compensation
components close to the FB and COMP pins. The feedback
resistors should be located as close as possible to the FB pin with
vias tied straight to the ground plane as required.
FIGURE 49. POWER DERATING CURVE
Layout Considerations
Layout is very important in high frequency switching converter
design. With power devices switching efficiently between 100kHz
and 600kHz, the resulting current transitions from one device to
another cause voltage spikes across the interconnecting
impedances and parasitic circuit elements. These voltage spikes
