FN9214.1
Single-Phase Buck PWM Controller with
Integrated High Speed MOSFET Driver
and Pre-Biased Load Capability
Features
• VIN and Power Rail Operation from +3.3V to +20V
• Fast Transient Response - 0 to 100% Duty Cycle
- 15MHz Bandwidth Error Amplifier with 6V/μs Slew Rate
- Voltage-Mode PWM Leading and Trailing-edge
Modulation Control
The ISL6540 is a single-phase voltage-mode PWM controller
with input voltage feedforward compensation to maintain a
constant loop gain for optimal transient response, especially for
applications with a wide input voltage range. Its integrated high
speed synchronous rectified MOSFET drivers and other
sophisticated features provide complete control and protection
for a DC/DC converter with minimum external components,
resulting in minimum cost and less engineering design efforts.
- Input Voltage Feedforward Compensation
• 2.9V to 5.6V High Speed 2A/4A MOSFET Gate Drivers
- Tri-state for Power Stage Shutdown
• Internal Linear Regulator (LR) - 5.6V Bias from VIN
• External LR Drive for Optimal Thermal Performance
• Voltage Margining with Independently Adjustable Upper and
Lower Settings for System Stress Testing & Over Clocking
The output voltage of the converter can be precisely regulated
with an internal reference voltage of 0.591V, and has a system
tolerance of ±0.85% over commercial temperature and line load
variations. An external voltage can be used in place of the
internal reference for voltage tracking/DDR applications.
• Reference Voltage I/O for DDR/Tracking Applications
• Precise 0.591V Internal Reference with Buffered Output
- ±0.85%/±1.25% Over Commercial/Industrial Range
• Source and Sink Overcurrent Protections
The ISL6540 has an internal linear regulator or external linear
regulator drive options for applications with only a single supply
rail. The internal oscillator is adjustable from 250kHz to 2MHz.
The integrated voltage margining, programmable pre-biased
soft-start, differential remote sensing amplifier, and
programmable input voltage POR features enhance the
ISL6540 value.

NOTE: These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ
special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach
materials, and 100% matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination
finish, which is 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.
