DATASHEET
ISL85012
12A, 3.8V to 18V Input, Synchronous Buck Regulator
The
ISL85012
is a highly efficient, monolithic, synchronous
buck regulator that can deliver 12A of continuous output
current from a 3.8V to 18V input supply. The device uses
current mode control architecture with a fast transient
response and excellent loop stability.
The ISL85012 integrates very low ON-resistance high-side and
low-side FETs to maximize efficiency and minimize external
component count. The minimum BOM and easy layout
footprint are extremely friendly to space constraint systems.
The operation frequency of this device can be set using the
FREQ pin: 600kHz (FREQ = float) and 300kHz (FREQ = GND).
The device can also be synchronized to an external clock up to
1MHz.
Both high-side and low-side MOSFET current limit along with
reverse current limit, fully protects the regulator in an
overcurrent event. Selectable OCP schemes can fit various
applications. Other protections, such as input/output
overvoltage and over-temperature, are also integrated into the
device which give required system level safety in the event of
fault conditions.
The ISL85012 is offered in a space saving 15 Ld 3.5mmx3.5mm
Pb-free TQFN package with great thermal performance and
0.8mm maximum height.

DESCRIPTION
Synchronization and mode selection pin. Connect to VDD or float for PWM mode. Connect to GND for DCM mode in the light-load
condition. Connect to an external clock signal for synchronization with the rising edge trigger.
OCP scheme select pin. Short it to GND for latch-off mode. Float it for hiccup mode.
Default frequency selection pin. Short it to GND for 300kHz. Float it for 600kHz.
Power-good, open-drain output. It requires a pull-up resistor (10kΩ to 100kΩ) between PG and VDD or a voltage not exceeding
5.5V. PG pulls high when FB is in the range of ~90% to ~116% of its intended value.
Low dropout linear regulator decoupling pin. The VDD is the internally generated 5V supply voltage and is derived from VIN. The
VDD is used to power all the internal core analog control blocks and drivers. Connect a 2.2µF capacitor from VDD to the board
ground plane. If the V
IN
is between 3V to 5.5V, then connect VDD directly to VIN to improve efficiency.
BOOT is the floating bootstrap supply pin for the high-side power MOSFET gate driver. A bootstrap capacitor, usually 0.1µF, is
required from BOOT to PHASE.
Reference of the power circuit. For thermal relief, this pin should be connected to the ground plane by vias.
Switch node connection to the internal power MOSFETs (source of upper FET and drain of lower FET) and the external output
inductor.
Input supply for the PWM regulator power stage. A decoupling capacitor, typically ceramic, is required to be connected between
this pin and GND.
Inverting input to the voltage loop error amplifier. The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB.
Output of the error amplifier. Compensation network between COMP and FB to configure external compensation. Place a 200Ω
resistor between COMP and GND for internal compensation, which is used to meet most applications.
Do Not Connect to pin. Float the pins in the design.
Enable input. The regulator is held off when this pin is pulled to ground. The device is enabled when the voltage on this pin rises
to about 0.6V.
Input supply for the control circuit and the source for the internal linear regulator that provides bias for the IC.
A decoupling capacitor, typically 1µF ceramic, is required connected between VIN and GND.
