Single Sync Buck PWM Controller for
Broadband Gateway Applications
The ISL6439 makes easy work out of implementing a
complete control and protection scheme for a DC/DC
step-down converter. Designed to drive N-Channel
MOSFETs in a synchronous buck topology, the ISL6439
integrates the control, output adjustment, monitoring and
protection functions into a single package.
The ISL6439 provides simple, single feedback loop, voltage-
mode control with fast transient response. The output
voltage can be precisely regulated to as low as 0.8V, with a
maximum tolerance of ±1.5% over temperature and line
voltage variations. A fixed frequency oscillator reduces
design complexity, while balancing typical application cost
and efficiency.
The error amplifier features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth
product and 6V/s slew rate which enables high converter
bandwidth for fast transient performance. The resulting
PWM duty cycles range from 0% to 100%.
Protection from overcurrent conditions is provided by
monitoring the r
DS(ON)
of the upper MOSFET to inhibit PWM
operation appropriately. This approach simplifies the
implementation and improves efficiency by eliminating the
need for a current sense resistor.
