FN9016.3
Single Synchronous Buck Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) Controller
Features
• Operates from +5V Input
The ISL6520A makes simple work out of implementing a
complete control and protection scheme for a DC-DC
stepdown converter. Designed to drive N-channel MOSFETs
in a synchronous buck topology, the ISL6520A integrates the
control, output adjustment, monitoring and protection
functions into a single 8-Lead package.
• 0.8V to V Output Range
IN
- 0.8V Internal Reference
- ±1.5% Over Line Voltage and Temperature
• Drives N-Channel MOSFETs
• Simple Single-Loop Control Design
- Voltage-Mode PWM Control
The ISL6520A provides simple, single feedback loop,
voltage-mode control with fast transient response. The
output voltage can be precisely regulated to as low as 0.8V,
with a maximum tolerance of ±1.5% over temperature and
line voltage variations. A fixed frequency oscillator reduces
design complexity, while balancing typical application cost
and efficiency.
• Fast Transient Response
- High-Bandwidth Error Amplifier
- Full 0% to 100% Duty Cycle
• Lossless, Programmable Overcurrent Protection
- Uses Upper MOSFET’s r
DS(ON)
The error amplifier features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth
product and 8V/µs slew rate which enables high converter
bandwidth for fast transient performance. The resulting PWM
duty cycles range from 0% to 100%.
• Small Converter Size
- 300kHz Fixed Frequency Oscillator
- Internal Soft Start
- 8 Ld SOIC or 16Ld 4x4mm QFN
Protection from overcurrent conditions is provided by

operation appropriately. This approach simplifies the
implementation and improves efficiency by eliminating the
need for a current sense resistor.
- Near Chip Scale Package footprint, which improves
PCB efficiency and has a thinner profile

1. Intersil Pb-free 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.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.
