Dual Standard Buck Regulator With 3A/3A Continuous Output Current
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.
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.
The ISL85033 is available in a small 4mmx4mm Thin Quad
Flat No-Lead (TQFN) Pb-free package.

PIN DESCRIPTION
COMP1, COMP2 are the output of the error amplifier.
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, FB2 to monitor
the regulator output voltage.
Soft-start pins for each controller. The SS1, SS2 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. Maximum C
SS
value is 100nF.
Power ground connections. Connect directly to the system GND plane.
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.
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.
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.
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. If EN1, EN2 pins are driven by an
external signal, the minimum off-time for EN1, EN2 should be:
EN_T_off
s
=
10s
C
SS
2.2nF
where C
SS
is the soft-start pin capacitor (nF). The ISL85033 does not have debouncing to EN1, EN2 external
signals.
Output of the internal 5V linear regulator. Decouple to PGND with a minimum of 4.7µF ceramic capacitor.
This pin is provided only for internal bias of ISL85033 (not to be loaded with current over 10mA).

PIN DESCRIPTION
Synchronization output. Provides a signal that is the inverse of the SYNCIN signal.
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 x the internal switching frequency
setting.
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.
This is a no connection pin.
Frequency selection pin. Tie to VCC for 500kHz switching frequency. Connect a resistor to GND for
adjustable frequency from 300kHz to 2MHz.
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.
