ISL65426
6A Dual Synchronous Buck Regulator with Integrated MOSFETs
The ISL65426 is a high efficiency dual output monolithic
synchronous buck converter operating over an input
voltage range of 3V to 5.5V. This single chip power solution
provides two output voltages, which are selectable or
externally adjustable from 1V to 80% of the supply voltage
while delivering up to 6A of total output current. The two
PWMs are synchronized 180
°
out-of-phase, reducing the
RMS input current and ripple voltage.
The ISL65426 switches at a fixed frequency of 1MHz and
utilizes current-mode control with integrated compensation
to minimize the size and number of external components
and provide excellent transient response. The internal
synchronous power switches are optimized for good
thermal performance and high efficiency.
A unique power block architecture allows partitioning of six
1A blocks to support one of four configuration options. One
master power block is associated with each synchronous
converter channel. Four floating slave power blocks allow
the user to assign them to either channel. Proper external
configuration of the power blocks is verified internally prior
to soft-start initialization.
Independent enable inputs allow for synchronization or
sequencing soft-start intervals of the two converter
channels. A third enable input allows additional sequencing
for multi-input bias supply designs. Individual power-good
indicators (PG1, PG2) signal when output voltage is within
the regulation window.
The ISL65426 integrates protection for both synchronous
buck regulator channels. The fault conditions include
overcurrent, undervoltage, and IC thermal monitor.
High integration contained in a thin Quad Flat No-lead
(QFN) package makes the ISL65426 an ideal choice to
power many of today’s small form factor applications. A
single chip solution for large scale digital ICs, like field
programmable gate arrays (FPGA), requiring separate core
and I/O voltages.
