Features

• High performance R technology
The ISL6268 IC is a Single-Phase Synchronous-Buck PWM
controller featuring Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R )
• Fast transient response

• ±1% regulation accuracy: -10°C to +100°C
• Wide input voltage range: +7.0V to +25.0V
• Output voltage range: +0.6V to +3.3V
• Wide output load range: 0A to 25A
technology that delivers truly superior dynamic response to
input voltage and output load transients. Integrated
MOSFET drivers and bootstrap diode result in fewer
components and smaller implementation area.

Intersil’s R technology combines the best features of
fixed-frequency PWM and hysteretic PWM while eliminating
many of their shortcomings. R technology employs an
innovative modulator that synthesizes an AC ripple voltage

• Programmable PWM frequency: 200kHz to 600kHz
• Pre-biased output start-up capability
• Integrated MOSFET drivers and bootstrap diode
• Internal digital soft-start

signal V , analogous to the output inductor ripple current. The
R
AC signal V enters a window comparator where the lower
R
threshold is the error amplifier output V
, and the upper

threshold is a programmable voltage reference V resulting

sets the 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, the ISL6268 has an error
amplifier that provides ±1% voltage regulation at the FB pin.
• Fault protection
- Undervoltage protection
- Soft crowbar overvoltage protection
- Low-side MOSFET r
overcurrent protection
DS(on)
- Over-temperature protection
- Fault identification by PGOOD pull-down resistance
The ISL6268 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 ISL6268
normally operates in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM),
automatically entering diode-emulation-mode (DEM) at low
load for optimum efficiency. In CCM the converter operates
as a synchronous rectifier. In DEM the low-side MOSFET
stays off, blocking negative current flow from the output
inductor.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100%
matte tin plate termination finish, which are 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.
