FN9055.5
Single Synchronous Buck Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) Controller
Features
• Operates from 3.3V to 5V Input
The ISL6526 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 ISL6526
integrates the control, output adjustment, monitoring and
protection functions into a single package.
• 0.8V to V Output Range
IN
- 0.8V Internal Reference
- ±1.5% Over Load, Line Voltage and Temperature
• Drives N-Channel MOSFETs
• Simple Single-Loop Control Design
- Voltage-Mode PWM Control
The ISL6526 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 6V/µs slew rate which enables high converter
bandwidth for fast transient performance. The resulting
PWM duty cycles range from 0% to 100%.
• Converter can Source and Sink Current
• Small Converter Size
- Internal Fixed Frequency Oscillator

ISL6526: 300kHz
ISL6526A: 600kHz
Protection from overcurrent conditions is provided by
monitoring the r
of the upper MOSFET to inhibit PWM
DS(ON)
• Internal Soft-Start
operation appropriately. This approach simplifies the
implementation and improves efficiency by eliminating the
need for a current sense resistor.
• 14 Lead SOIC or 16 Lead, 5x5 QFN
• QFN Package:
- Compliant to JEDEC PUB95 MO-220 QFN - Quad Flat
No Leads - Package Outline
- Near Chip Scale Package footprint, which improves
PCB efficiency and has a thinner profile
• Pb-free Available
