High-Performance Dual-Output Buck
Controller for Notebook Applications
Features
3
• High performance R technology
The ISL6228 IC is a dual channel synchronous-buck PWM
controller featuring Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R )
• Fast transient response
3
• ±1% regulation accuracy: -40°C to +100°C
• Individual power stage input rail for each channel
• Wide input voltage range: +3.3V to +25V
• Output voltage range: +0.6V to +5V
technology that delivers truly superior dynamic response to
input voltage and output load transients. Integrated
MOSFET drivers and bootstrap diodes result in fewer
components and smaller implementation area.

Intersil’s R technology combines the best features of fixed-

their shortcomings. R technology employs an innovative
modulator that synthesizes an AC ripple voltage signal V ,

steady-state PWM frequency. Both edges of the PWM can be
modulated in response to input voltage transients and output
load transients, much faster than conventional fixed-
frequency PWM controllers. Unlike a conventional hysteretic
converter, each channel of the ISL6228 has an error amplifier
that provides ±1% voltage regulation at the FB pin.
- Undervoltage protection
- Soft crowbar overvoltage protection
- Inductor DCR overcurrent protection
- Over-temperature protection
- Fault identification by PGOOD pull-down resistance
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
The ISL6228 has a 1.5ms digital soft-start and can be
started into a pre-biased output voltage. A resistor divider is
used to program the output voltage setpoint. The ISL6228
operates in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) in heavy
load, and in diode-emulation-mode (DEM) in light load to
improve light-load efficiency. In CCM, the controller always
operates as a synchronous rectifier. In DEM, the low-side
MOSFET is permitted to stay off, blocking negative current
flow into the low-side MOSFET from the output inductor.
Applications
• General purpose switching buck regulators
• PCI express graphical processing unit
• Auxiliary power rail
