ISL78322
Dual 2A/1.7A, 2.25MHz High-Efficiency, Synchronous Buck Regulator
The
ISL78322
is a high-efficiency, dual synchronous step-down
DC/DC regulator that can deliver up to 2A/1.7A continuous
output current per channel. The channels are 180° out-of-
phase for input RMS current and EMI reduction. The supply
voltage range of 2.8V to 5.5V allows for the use of a single Li+
cell, three NiMH cells or a regulated 5V input. The current
mode control architecture enables very low duty cycle
operation at high frequency with fast transient response and
excellent loop stability. The ISL78322 operates at 2.25MHz
switching frequency, which allows for the use of small, low cost
inductors and capacitors. Each channel is optimized for
generating an output voltage as low as 0.6V.
The ISL78322 has a forced PWM mode that reduces noise and
RF interference.
The ISL78322 offers a 1ms Power-Good (PG) signal to monitor
both outputs at power-up. When shut down, ISL78322
discharges the output capacitors. Other features include
internal digital soft-start, enable for power sequence,
overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown. The ISL78322
is offered in a 4mmx3mm, 12 Lead DFN package with 1mm
maximum height. The complete converter occupies less than
1.8cm
2
area.
The ISL78322 is qualified to AEC-Q100 and specified for
operation across the -40°C to +105°C (grade 2) ambient
temperature range.

NOTES:
1. Add “-T” suffix for 6k unit or “-T7A” suffix for 250 unit tape and reel options. Refer to
TB347
for details on reel specifications.
2. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100% matte
tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations). Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.

DESCRIPTION
The feedback network of the Channel 1 regulator. FB1 is the negative input to the transconductance error amplifier. The output
voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected to FB1. With a properly selected divider, the output voltage can be set to
any voltage between the power rail (reduced by converter losses) and the 0.6V reference. There is an internal compensation to
meet a typical application. In addition, the regulator power-good and undervoltage protection circuitry use FB1 to monitor the
Channel 1 regulator output voltage.
Regulator Channel 1 enable pin. Enable the output, V
OUT1
, when driven to high. Shutdown the V
OUT1
and discharge output
capacitor when driven to low. Do not leave this pin floating.
