ZVS Full Bridge PWM Controller
Features
The ISL6551 is a zero voltage switching (ZVS) full-bridge
PWM controller designed for isolated power systems. This
part implements a unique control algorithm for fixed-
frequency ZVS current mode control, yielding high efficiency
with low EMI. The two lower drivers are PWM-controlled on
the trailing edge and employ resonant delay while the two
upper drivers are driven at a fixed 50% duty cycle.
• High Speed PWM (up to 1MHz) for ZVS Full Bridge
Control
• Current Mode Control Compatible
• High Current High-Side and Low-Side Totem-Pole Drivers
• Adjustable Resonant Delay for ZVS
• 10MHz Error Amplifier Bandwidth
• Programmable Soft-Start

This IC integrates many features in both 6x6 mm QFN and
28-lead SOIC packages to yield a complete and
sophisticated power supply solution. Control features include
programmable soft-start for controlled start-up,
• Precision Bandgap Reference
• Latching Shutdown Input
programmable resonant delay for zero voltage switching,
programmable leading edge blanking to prevent false
triggering of the PWM comparator due to the leading edge
spike of the current ramp, adjustable ramp for slope
compensation, drive signals for implementing synchronous
rectification in high output current, ultra high efficiency
applications, and current share support for paralleling up to
10 units, which helps achieve higher reliability and
availability as well as better thermal management. Protective
features include adjustable cycle-by-cycle peak current
limiting for overcurrent protection, fast short-circuit protection
(in hiccup mode), a latching shutdown input to turn off the IC
completely on output overvoltage conditions or other
extreme and undesirable faults, a non-latching enable input
to accept an enable command when monitoring the input
voltage and thermal condition of a converter, and VDD under
voltage lockout with hysteresis. Additionally, the ISL6551
includes high current high-side and low-side totem-pole
drivers to avoid additional external drivers for moderate gate
capacitance (up to 1.6nF at 1MHz) applications, an
uncommitted high bandwidth (10MHz) error amplifier for
feedback loop compensation, a precision bandgap reference
with ±1.5% (ISL6551AB) or ±1% (ISL6551IB) tolerance over
recommended operating conditions, and a ±5% “in
regulation” monitor.
• Non-latching Enable Input
• Adjustable Leading Edge Blanking
• Adjustable Dead Time Control
• Adjustable Ramp for Slope Compensation
• Fast Short-Circuit Protection (Hiccup Mode)
• Adjustable Cycle-by-Cycle Peak Current Limiting
• Drive Signals to Implement Synchronous Rectification
• VDD Under-voltage Lockout
• Current Share Support
• ±5% “In Regulation” Indication
• 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 Plus Anneal Available (RoHS Compliant)
Applications
• Full-Bridge and Push-Pull Converters
• Power Supplies for Off-line and Telecom/Datacom
In addition to the ISL6551, other external elements such as
transformers, pulse transformers, capacitors, inductors and
Schottky or synchronous rectifiers are required for a
complete power supply solution. A detailed 200W telecom
power supply reference design using the ISL6551 with
companion Intersil ICs, Supervisor And Monitor ISL6550 and
Half-bridge Driver HIP2100, is presented in Application Note
AN1002.
• Power Supplies for High End Microprocessors and
Servers
In addition, the ISL6551 can also be designed in push-pull
converters using all of the features except the two upper
drivers and adjustable resonant delay features.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.
