DATASHEET
ISL85403
2.5A Regulator with Integrated High-side MOSFET for Synchronous Buck or
Boost Buck Converter
The
ISL85403
is a 40V, 2.5A synchronous buck or boost buck
controller with an integrated high-side MOSFET and low-side
driver. In Buck mode, the ISL85403 supports a wide input
range of 3V to 40V. In Boost-Buck mode, the input range can
be extended down to 2.5V and output regulation can be
maintained when V
IN
drops below V
OUT
, enabling sensitive
electronics to remain on in low input voltage conditions.
The ISL85403 has a flexible selection of Forced PWM mode
and PFM mode. In PFM mode, the quiescent input current is as
low as 180µA (AUXVCC connected to V
OUT
). The load boundary
between PFM and PWM can be programmed to cover wide
applications.
The low-side driver can either be used to drive an external
low-side MOSFET for a synchronous buck or left unused for a
standard non-synchronous buck. The low-side driver can also
be used to drive a boost converter as a preregulator followed
by a buck controlled by the same IC, which greatly expands the
operating input voltage range down to 2.5V or lower (See
Figure 5).
ISL85403 offers robust current protection. It uses peak current
mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It is
implemented with frequency foldback under current limit
condition; also, the hiccup overcurrent mode ensures reliable
operations under harsh short conditions.
The ISL85403 has comprehensive protections against various
faults including overvoltage and over-temperature protections.

DESCRIPTION
Enable the IC by leaving the EN pin floating or pulling it HIGH. Disable the IC by pulling this pin LOW.
Range: 0V to 5.5V.
Force the IC to have a 500kHz switching frequency by connecting the FS pin to VCC or GND, or by leaving the FS pin open. Program
the oscillator switching frequency by adjusting the resistor from this pin to GND.
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. The capacitor, along with an internal 5µA current source, sets the converter's soft-start
interval. Also, this pin can be used to track a ramp on this pin.
The inverting input of the voltage feedback error amplifier. With a properly selected resistor divider connected from V
OUT
to FB, the
output voltage can be set to any voltage between the power rail (reduced by maximum duty cycle and voltage drop) and the 0.8V
reference. Connect an R-C network across COMP and FB for loop compensation. The FB pin is also monitored for overvoltage events.
Output of the voltage feedback error amplifier.
