Flexible Single-ended Current Mode PWM
Controller
Features
• 1A MOSFET Gate Driver
• 100µA Startup Current
The ISL6721A is a low power, single-ended pulse width
modulating (PWM) current mode controller designed for a
wide range of DC/DC conversion applications including
boost, flyback, and isolated output configurations. Peak
current mode control effectively handles power transients
and provides inherent overcurrent protection. Other features
include a low power mode where the supply current drops to
less than 200µA during overvoltage and overcurrent
shutdown faults. It differs from the ISL6721 in that the UVLO
and UV thresholds have been modified.
• Fast Transient Response with Peak Current Mode Control
• Adjustable Switching Frequency up to 1MHz
• Bidirectional Synchronization
• Low Power Disable Mode
• Delayed Restart from OV and OC Shutdown Faults
• Adjustable Slope Compensation
• Adjustable Soft-start
This advanced BiCMOS design features low operating
current, adjustable operating frequency up to 1MHz,
adjustable soft-start, and a bidirectional SYNC signal that
allows the oscillator to be locked to an external clock for
noise sensitive applications.
• Adjustable Overcurrent Shutdown Delay
• Adjustable UV and OV Monitors
• Leading Edge Blanking
• Integrated Thermal Shutdown
Applications
• 1% Tolerance Voltage Reference
• Pb-Free (RoHS Compliant)
• Telecom and Datacom Power
• Wireless Base Station Power
• File Server Power
• Industrial Power Systems
• Isolated Buck and Flyback Regulators
• Boost Regulators

UV - Undervoltage monitor input pin. This signal is
compared to an internal 1.45V reference to detect an
undervoltage condition.
Pin Descriptions
SLOPE - Means by which the ISENSE ramp slope may be
increased for improved noise immunity or improved control
loop stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. An internal
current source charges an external capacitor to GND during
each switching cycle. The resulting ramp is scaled and
added to the ISENSE signal.
ISENSE - This is the input to the current sense comparators.
The IC has two current sensing comparators, a PWM
comparator for peak current mode control, and an
overcurrent protection comparator. The overcurrent
comparator threshold is adjustable through the ISET pin.
SYNC - A bidirectional synchronization signal used to
coordinate the switching frequency of multiple units.
Synchronization may be achieved by connecting the SYNC
signal of each unit together or by using an external master
clock signal. The oscillator timing capacitor, C , is still
required, even if an external clock is used. The first unit to
assert this signal assumes control.
Exceeding the overcurrent threshold will start a delayed
shutdown sequence. Once an overcurrent condition is
detected, the soft-start charge current source is disabled and
a discharge current source is enabled. The soft-start capacitor
begins discharging, and if it discharges to less than 4.375V
(sustained overcurrent threshold), a shutdown condition
occurs and the GATE output is forced low. At this point a
reduced discharge current takes over until the soft-start
voltage reaches 0.27V (reset threshold). The GATE output
remains low until the reset threshold is attained. At this point,
a soft-start cycle begins.

the charging cycle, the oscillator switches to external
synchronization mode and relies upon the external SYNC
signal to terminate the oscillator cycle. The generation of a
SYNC signal is inhibited in this mode. If the RTCT voltage
exceeds 4.0V (i.e. no external SYNC signal terminates the
cycle), the oscillator reverts to the internal clock mode and a
SYNC signal is generated.

SS - Connect the soft-start capacitor between this pin and
LGND to control the duration of soft-start. The value of the
capacitor determines both the rate of increase of the duty

Soft-Start Operation
The ISL6721A features soft-start using an external capacitor
in conjunction with an internal current source. Soft-start is
used to reduce voltage stresses and surge currents during
start up.
ISET - A DC voltage between 0.35V and 1.2V applied to this
input sets the pulse-by-pulse overcurrent threshold. When
overcurrent inception occurs, the SS capacitor begins to
discharge and starts the overcurrent delayed shutdown
cycle.
Upon start up, the soft-start circuitry clamps the error amplifier
output (COMP pin) to a value proportional to the soft-start
voltage. The error amplifier output rises as the soft-start
capacitor voltage rises. This has the effect of increasing the
output pulse width from zero to the steady state operating duty
cycle during the soft-start period. When the soft-start voltage
exceeds the error amplifier voltage, soft-start is completed.
Soft-start forces a controlled output voltage rise. Soft-start
occurs during start-up and after recovery from a fault condition
or overcurrent shutdown. The soft-start voltage is clamped to
4.5V.

Functional Description
Features
The ISL6721A current mode PWMs make an ideal choice for
low-cost flyback and forward topology applications requiring
enhanced control and supervisory capability. With adjustable
overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds, overcurrent
threshold, and hic-cup delay, a highly flexible design with
minimal external components is possible. Other features
include peak current mode control, adjustable soft-start,
slope compensation, adjustable oscillator frequency and a
bi-directional synchronization clock input.
Gate Drive
The ISL6721A is capable of sourcing and sinking 1A peak
current. Separate collector supply (V ) and power ground
C
(PGnd) pins help isolate the IC’s analog circuitry from the
high power gate drive noise. To limit the peak current
through the IC, an external resistor may be placed between
the totem-pole output of the IC (GATE pin) and the gate of
the MOSFET. This small series resistor also damps any
oscillations caused by the resonant tank of the parasitic
inductances in the traces of the board and the FET’s input
capacitance.
Oscillator
The ISL6721A have a sawtooth oscillator with a
programmable frequency range to 1MHz, which can be
programmed with a resistor and capacitor on the RTCT pin.
(Please refer to Figure 4 for the resistance and capacitance
required for a given frequency.)
Slope Compensation
For applications where the maximum duty cycle is less than
50%, slope compensation may be used to improve noise
immunity, particularly at lighter loads. The amount of slope
compensation required for noise immunity is determined
empirically, but is generally about 10% of the full scale
current feedback signal. For applications where the duty
cycle is greater than 50%, slope compensation is required to
prevent instability. Slope compensation is a technique in
which the current feedback signal is modified by adding
additional slope to it. The minimum amount of slope
compensation required corresponds to 1/2 the inductor
Implementing Synchronization
The oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock
applied at the SYNC pin or by connecting the SYNC pins of
multiple ICs together. If an external master clock signal is
used, it must be at least 65% of the free running frequency of
the oscillator for proper synchronization. The external
master clock signal should have a pulse width greater than
20ns. If no master clock is used, the first device to assert

downslope. However, adding excessive slope compensation
results in a control loop that behaves more as a voltage
mode controller than as current mode controller (Figure 5).
Otherwise another shutdown cycle occurs. A UV condition
also results in a shutdown fault, but the device does not
enter the low power mode and no restart delay occurs when
the fault clears.

CURRENT SENSE SIGNAL
A resistor divider between V and LGND to each input

determines the operational thresholds. The UV threshold
has a fixed hysteresis of 75mV nominal.
Overcurrent Operation
The overcurrent threshold level is set by the voltage applied
at the ISET pin. Setting the overcurrent level may be
accomplished by using a resistor divider network from VREF
to LGND. The ISET threshold should be set at a level that
corresponds to the desired peak output inductor current plus
the additive effects of slope compensation.

Overcurrent delayed shutdown is enabled once the soft-start
cycle is complete. If an overcurrent condition is detected, the
soft-start charging current source is disabled and the
discharging current source is enabled. The soft-start
capacitor is discharged at a rate of 40µA. At the same time,
a 50µs retriggerable one-shot timer is activated and it
remains active for 50µs after the overcurrent condition stops.
The soft-start discharge cycle cannot be reset until the one-
shot timer becomes inactive. If the soft-start capacitor
discharges by more than 0.125V to 4.375V, the output is
disabled and the soft-start capacitor is discharged. The

Overvoltage and Undervoltage Monitor
Fault Conditions
The OV and UV signals are inputs to a window comparator
used to monitor the input voltage level to the converter. If the
voltage falls outside of the user designated operating range,
a shutdown fault occurs. For OV faults, the supply current,
, is reduced to 200µA for ~295ms at which time recovery
is attempted. If the fault is cleared, a soft-start cycle begins.
A Fault condition occurs if VREF falls below 4.65V, the OV
input exceeds 2.50V, the UV input falls below 1.45V, or the
junction temperature of the die exceeds ~+130°C. When a
Fault is detected the GATE output is disabled, and the

Reference Design
The Typical Application Schematic on page 4 features the
ISL6721A in a conventional dual output 10W discontinuous
mode flyback DC/DC converter. The ISL6721EVAL1
demonstration unit implements this design and is available
for evaluation.
The abbreviated design process follows:
• Select a core geometry suitable for the application.
Constraints of height, footprint, mounting preference, and
operating environment will affect the choice.
The input voltage range is from 36VDC to 75VDC, and the
two outputs are 3.3V @ 2.5A and 1.8V @ 1.0A. Cross
regulation is achieved using the weighted sum of the two
outputs.
• Select suitable core material(s).
• Select maximum flux density desired for operation.
• Select core size. Core size will be dictated by the
capability of the core structure to store the required
energy, the number of turns that have to be wound, and
the wire gauge needed. Often the window area (the space
used for the windings) and power loss determine the final
core size. For flyback transformers, the ability to store
energy is the critical factor in determining the core size.
The cross sectional area of the core and the length of the
air gap in the magnetic path determine the energy storage
capability.

is often difficult to determine initially. Usually the highest
flux density that produces an acceptable design is used,
but often the winding geometry dictates a larger core than
is required based on flux density and energy storage
calculations.

The determination of the number of secondary turns is also
dependent on the number of outputs and the required turns
ratios required to generate them. If Schottky output rectifiers
are used and we assume a forward voltage drop of 0.45V,
the required turns ratio for the two output voltages, 3.3V and
1.8V, is 5:3.

permeability of free space (4π • 10 ), and ΔB is the change

A core structure having less airgap volume than calculated will
be incapable of providing the full output power over some
portion of its operating range. On the other hand, if the length
of the airgap becomes large, magnetic field fringing around
the gap occurs. This has the effect of increasing the airgap
volume. Some fringing is usually acceptable, but excessive
fringing can cause increased losses in the windings around
the gap resulting in excessive heating. Once a suitable core
and gap combination are found, the iterative design cycle
begins. A design is developed and checked for ease of
assembly and thermal performance. If the core does not allow
adequate space for the windings, then a core with a larger
window area is required. If the transformer runs hot, it may be
necessary to lower the flux density (more primary turns, lower
operating frequency), select a less lossy core material,
change the geometry of the windings (winding order), use
heavier gauge wire or multi-filar windings, and/or change the
type of wire used (Litz wire, for example).
With a turns ratio of 5:3 for the secondary windings, we will
use N = 5 turns and N = 3 turns. Checking the reset time

using these values for the number of secondary turns yields
a duration of Tr = 2.33µs or about 47% of the switching
period, an acceptable result.
The bias winding turns may be calculated similarly, only a
diode forward drop of 0.7V is used. The rounded off result is
17 turns for a 12V bias.

The secondary wire gauge must be selected accordingly.
The switching losses have two components: capacitive
switching losses and voltage/current overlap losses. The
capacitive losses occur during turn on of the device and may
be calculated in Equation 19:
The determination of current carrying capacity of wire is a
compromise between performance, size, and cost. It is
affected by many design constraints such as operating
frequency (harmonic content of the waveform) and the
winding proximity/geometry. It generally ranges between 250
and 1000 circular mils per ampere. A circular mil is defined
as the area of a circle 0.001” (1 mil) in diameter. As the
frequency of operation increases, the AC resistance of the
wire increases due to skin and proximity effects. Using
heavier gauge wire may not alleviate the problem. Instead
multiple strands of wire in parallel must be used. In some
cases, Litz wire is required.

the turn on transition, so only the turn off transition is of
significance. The power dissipation may be estimated using

higher dissipation than is realized because a portion of the
turn off drain current is attributable to the charging of the

during this portion of the switching cycle (Figure 6).
The input voltage range of the converter is 36VDC to

150V is required due to the flyback voltage likely to be seen
on the primary of the isolation transformer.
The losses associated with MOSFET operation may be

ESL adds to the ripple and noise voltage in proportion to the
rate of change of current into the capacitor (V = L • di/dt)
(Equation 25).
Once the losses are known, the device package must be
selected and the heatsinking method designed. Since the
design requires a small surface mount part, a 8 Ld SOIC
package was selected. A Fairchild FDS2570 MOSFET was
selected based on these criteria. The overall losses are
estimated at 400mW.

Capacitors having high capacitance usually do not have
sufficiently low ESL. High frequency capacitors such as
surface mount ceramic or film are connected in parallel with
the high capacitance capacitors to address the effects of
ESL. A combination of high frequency and high ripple
capability capacitors is used to achieve the desired overall
performance. The analysis of the 1.8V output is similar to
that of the 3.3V output and is omitted for brevity. Two
OSCON 4SEP560M (560µF) electrolytic capacitors and a
22µF X5R ceramic 1210 capacitor were selected for both the
3.3 and 1.8V outputs. The 4SEP560M electrolytic capacitors
are each rated at 4520mA ripple current and 13mΩ of ESR.
The ripple current rating of just one of these capacitors is
adequate, but two are needed to meet the minimum ESR
and capacitance values.
Output Filter Design
In a flyback design, the primary concern for the design of the
output filter is the capacitor ripple current stress and the
ripple and noise specification of the output.
The current flowing in and out of the output capacitors is the
difference between the winding current and the output current.
The peak secondary current, I
, is 10.73A for the 3.3V
SPK
output and 4.29A for the 1.8V output. The current flowing into
the output filter capacitor is the difference between the winding
current and the output current. Looking at the 3.3V output, the

store this amount minus the output current of 2.5A, or 8.23A.

RMS
Voltage deviation on the output during the switching cycle
(ripple and noise) is caused by the change in charge of the
output capacitance, the equivalent series resistance (ESR),
and equivalent series inductance (ESL). Each of these
components must be assigned a portion of the total ripple
and noise specification. How much to allow for each
contributor is dependent on the capacitor technology used.
Control Loop Design
The major components of the feedback control loop are a
programmable shunt regulator, an opto-coupler, and the
inverting amplifier of the ISL6721A. The opto-coupler is used
to transfer the error signal across the isolation barrier. The
opto-coupler offers a convenient means to cross the
isolation barrier, but it adds complexity to the feedback
control loop. It adds a pole at about 10kHz and a significant
amount of gain variation due the current transfer ratio (CTR).
The CTR of the opto-coupler varies with initial tolerance,
temperature, forward current, and age.
For purposes of this discussion, we will assume the following:
3.3V output: 100mV total output ripple and noise
ESR: 60mV
Capacitor ΔQ: 10mV
ESL: 30mV

The first parameter to determine is the peak current

due to the need to provide overcurrent protection. Current

From Equation 27, it can be seen that the control to output
transfer function frequency dependence is a function of the
output load resistance, the value of output capacitance, and
the output capacitance ESR. These variations must be
considered when compensating the control loop. The worst

Typical waveforms can be found in Figures 10 through 12.
Figure 10 shows the steady state operation of the sawtooth
oscillator waveform at RTCT (Trace 2), the SYNC output
pulse (Trace 1), and the GATE output to the converter FET
(Trace 3). Figure 11 shows the converter behavior while
operating in an overcurrent fault condition. Trace 1 is the
soft-start voltage, which increases from 0V to 4.5V, at which
point the OC fault function is enabled. The OC condition is
detected and the soft-start capacitor is discharged to the
4.375V OC fault threshold at which point the IC enters the
fault shutdown mode. Trace 2 shows the behavior of the
timing capacitor voltage during a shutdown fault. Most of the
functions of the IC are de-powered during a fault, and the
oscillator is among those functions. During a fault, the IC is
turned off until the restart delay has timed out. After the
delay, power is restored and the IC resumes normal
operation. Trace 3 is the GATE output during the soft-start
cycle and OC fault.
