FN9204.1
Dual (180° Out-of-Phase) PWM and Linear
Controller
Features
• 4.5V to 5.5V or 5.5V to 24V Input Voltage Range
The ISL6442 is a high-performance, triple output controller
that provides a single high-frequency power solution
primarily for Broadband, DSL and Networking applications.
This device integrates complete control, monitoring and
protection functions for two synchronous buck PWM
controllers and one linear controller. Input voltage ripple and
total RMS input current is substantially reduced by
• ±1.5% PWM Switcher Reference Accuracy Over Line and
Temperature
• Three Programmable Power Output Voltages
- Two PWM Controllers with Out-of-Phase Operation
- Voltage-Mode PWM Control
- One Linear Controller
synchronized 180° out-of-phase operation of the two PWMs.
• Programmable Switching Frequency from 300kHz to 2.5MHz
• Fast Transient Response
- High-Bandwidth Error Amplifier
• Extensive Circuit Protection Functions
- Overvoltage, Undervoltage, and Overtemperature
- Programmable Overcurrent Limit with Hiccup Mode
Operation
- Lossless Current Sensing (no Sense Resistor needed)
The two PWM buck converters provide simple voltage mode
control. The output voltage of the converters can be
precisely regulated to as low as 0.6V, with a maximum
tolerance of ±1.5% over temperature and line variations.
Programmable switching frequency up to 2.5MHz provides
fast transient response and small external components. The
linear controller provides a low-current output.
The ISL6442 has voltage-tracking capability. Each controller
has soft-start and independent enable functions combined
on a single pin. A capacitor from SS/EN to ground sets the
soft-start time; pulling SS/EN pin below 1V disables the
controller. Both outputs can soft-start into a pre-biased load.
• Externally Adjustable Soft-Start Time
- Independent Enable Control
- Voltage Tracking Capability
- Able to Soft-Start into a Pre-Biased Load
• PGOOD Output with Delay
• 24 Ld QSOP
• Pb-Free Plus Anneal Available (RoHS Compliant)
The ISL6442 incorporates robust protection features. An
adjustable overcurrent protection circuit monitors the output
current by sensing the voltage drop across the upper
MOSFET r
. Hiccup mode overcurrent operation
DS(ON)
Applications
• Complete 1 Chip Solution for DSL Modems/Routers
• DSP, ASIC, and FPGA Point of Load Regulation
• ADSL, Broadband and Networking Applications
protects the DC/DC converters from damage under over-
load and short circuit conditions. A PGOOD signal is issued
when soft-start is complete and PWM outputs are within 10%
of their regulated values and the linear regulator output is
higher than 75% of its nominal value. Thermal shut-down
circuitry turns the device off if the IC temperature exceeds
150°C.

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.
