The ISL8105, ISL8105A is a simple single-phase PWM  
controller for a synchronous buck converter. It operates from  
Features  
• Operates from +5V or +12V Bias Supply Voltage  
+5V or +12V bias supply voltage. With integrated linear  
regulator, boot diode, and N-Channel MOSFET gate drivers,  
the ISL8105, ISL8105A reduces external component count and  
board space requirements. These make the IC suitable for a  
wide range of applications.

with restrictions; see “Input Voltage Considerations” on  
page 9)  
- 0.6V to V Output Voltage Range  
IN  
• 0.6V Internal Reference Voltage  
Utilizing voltage-mode control, the output voltage can be  
precisely regulated to as low as 0.6V. The 0.6V internal  
reference features a maximum tolerance of ±1.0% over the  
commercial temperature range, and ±1.5% over the  
industrial temperature range. Two fixed oscillator frequency  
versions are available; 300kHz (ISL8105 for high efficiency  
applications) and 600kHz (ISL8105A for fast transient  
applications).  
- ±1.0% Tolerance Over the Commercial Temperature  
Range (0°C to +70°C)  
- ±1.5% Tolerance Over the Industrial Temperature  
Range (-40°C to +85°C).

The ISL8105, ISL8105A features the capability of safe  
start-up with pre-biased load. It also provides overcurrent  
protection by monitoring the ON-resistance of the  
bottom-side MOSFET to inhibit PWM operation  
appropriately. During start-up interval, the resistor connected  
to BGATE/BSOC pin is employed to program overcurrent  
protection condition. This approach simplifies the  
implementation and does not deteriorate converter  
efficiency.

Functional Pin Description (SOIC, DFN)

the bottom-side MOSFET's gate and the BOOT voltage for  
the top-side MOSFET's gate. An internal 5V regulator will

FB (SOIC Pin 6, DFN Pin 8)  
TGATE (SOIC Pin 2, DFN Pin 2)  
This pin is the inverting input of the internal error amplifier.  
Use FB, in combination with the COMP/EN pin, to  
compensate the voltage-control feedback loop of the  
converter. A resistor divider from the output to GND is used  
to set the regulation voltage.  
Connect this pin to the gate of top-side MOSFET; it provides  
the PWM-controlled gate drive. It is also monitored by the  
adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine  
when the top-side MOSFET has turned off.  
GND (SOIC Pin 3, DFN Pin 4)  
COMP/EN (SOIC Pin 7, DFN Pin 9)  
This pin represents the signal and power ground for the IC.  
Tie this pin to the ground island/plane through the lowest  
impedance connection available.  
This is a multiplexed pin. During soft-start and normal converter  
operation, this pin represents the output of the error amplifier.  
Use COMP/EN, in combination with the FB pin, to compensate  
the voltage-control feedback loop of the converter.

oscillator to stop, the BGATE and TGATE outputs to be held  
low, and the soft-start circuitry to re-arm. The external  
pull-down device will initially need to overcome maximum of  
5mA of COMP/EN output current. However, once the IC is  
disabled, the COMP output will also be disabled, so only a  
20µA current source will continue to draw current.

During a short period of time following Power-On Reset

regulation at the expected voltage. This method provides a  
rapid and controlled output voltage rise; there is no large  
inrush current charging the output capacitors. The entire

converter's efficiency and reduces cost by eliminating a  
current sensing resistor. If overcurrent is detected, the output  
immediately shuts off, it cycles the soft-start function in a  
hiccup mode (2 dummy soft-start time-outs, then up to one  
real one) to provide fault protection. If the shorted condition  
is not removed, this cycle will continue indefinitely.

pull down the voltage (at the RC rate of the R of the load and  
the C of the output capacitance).

MOSFETs is typically in the 20mV to 120mV ballpark  
(500to 3000). If the voltage drop across R is set  
BSOC  
too low, that can cause almost continuous OCP tripping and  
retry. It would also be very sensitive to system noise and  
inrush current spikes, so it should be avoided. The maximum  
BGATE > 425ns  
usable setting is around 0.2V across R  
(0.4V across  
BSOC  
the MOSFET); values above that might disable the  
protection. Any voltage drop across R that is greater  
BSOC  
than 0.3V (0.6V MOSFET trip point) will disable the OCP.  
The preferred method to disable OCP is simply to remove  
the resistor, which will be detected as no OCP.  
BGATE = 425ns  
Note that conditions during power-up or during a retry may  
look different than normal operation. During power-up in a  
12V system, the IC starts operation just above 4V; if the  
supply ramp is slow, the soft-start ramp might be over well  
before 12V is reached. So with bottom-side gate drive  
voltages, the r  
of the MOSFETs will be higher during  
DS(ON)  
BGATE < 425ns  
power-up, effectively lowering the OCP trip. In addition, the  
ripple current will likely be different at lower input voltage.  
Another factor is the digital nature of the soft-start ramp. On  
each discrete voltage step, there is in effect a small load  
transient, and a current spike to charge the output  
capacitors. The height of the current spike is not controlled; it  
is affected by the step size of the output, the value of the  
output capacitors, as well as the IC error amp compensation.  
So it is possible to trip the overcurrent with inrush current, in  
addition to the normal load and ripple considerations.

MOSFET voltage drop, compared to the setting on the

plus one variable one (which depends on how long it takes to  
trip the sensor each time). Figure 5 also shows an example  
where the output gets about half-way up before shutting  
down; therefore, the retry (or hiccup) time will be around  
17ms. The minimum should be nominally 13.6ms and the

There is an internal 5V regulator for bias; it turns on between  
5.5 and 6.5V. Some of the delay after POR is there to allow a  
typical power supply to ramp-up past 6.5V before the  
soft-start ramps begins. This prevents a disturbance on the  
output, due to the internal regulator turning on or off. If the  
transition is slow (not a step change), the disturbance should  
be minimal. So while the recommendation is to not have the  
output enabled during the transition through this region, it  
may be acceptable. The user should monitor the output for  
their application to see if there is any problem.

is a good starting assumption; the user should verify the  
IN  
ringing in their particular application.  
Layout Considerations  
As in any high-frequency switching converter, layout is very  
important. Switching current from one power device to  
another can generate voltage transients across the  
impedances of the interconnecting bond wires and circuit  
traces. These interconnecting impedances should be  
minimized by using wide, short printed circuit traces. The  
critical components should be located as close together as  
possible using ground plane construction or single point  
grounding.  
Another consideration for high V is duty cycle. Very low  
IN  
duty cycles (such as 20V in to 1.0V out, for 5% duty cycle)  
require component selection compatible with that choice  
(such as low r  
DS(ON)  
bottom-side MOSFET, and a good LC  
output filter). At the other extreme (for example, 20V in to  
12V out), the top-side MOSFET needs to be low r . In  
DS(ON)  
addition, if the duty cycle gets too high, it can affect the  
overcurrent sample time. In all cases, the input and output  
capacitors and both MOSFETs must be rated for the  
voltages present.

Switching Frequency  
ISL8105  
The switching frequency is either a fixed 300kHz or 600kHz,  
depending on the part number chosen (ISL8105 is 300kHz;  
ISL8105A is 600kHz; the generic name “ISL8105” may apply  
to either in the rest of this document, except when choosing  
the frequency). However, all of the other timing mentioned  
(POR delay, OCP sample, soft-start, etc.) is independent of  
the clock frequency (unless otherwise noted).

FIGURE 7. PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD POWER AND  
GROUND PLANES OR ISLANDS  
has a circuit that detects a long TGATE on-time (nominal  
100µs), and forces the BGATE to go higher for one clock  
cycle, which will allow the boot capacitor some time to  
recharge. Separately, the OCP circuit has a BGATE pulse  
stretcher (to be sure the sample time is long enough), which  
can also help refresh the boot. But if OCP is disabled (no  
current sense resistor), the regular boot refresh circuit will  
still be active.  
Figure 7 shows the critical power components of the  
converter. To minimize the voltage overshoot/undershoot,  
the interconnecting wires indicated by heavy lines should be  
part of ground or power plane in a printed circuit board. The  
components shown in Figure 8 should be located as close  
together as possible. Please note that the capacitors C

The ISL8105 incorporates a MOSFET shoot-through  
protection method which allows a converter to sink current  
as well as source current. Care should be exercised when  
designing a converter with the ISL8105 when it is known that  
the converter may sink current.  
Locate the ISL8105 within three inches of the MOSFETs, Q  
1
and Q . The circuit traces for the MOSFETs’ gate and  
2
source connections from the ISL8105 must be sized to  
handle up to 1A peak current.  
Proper grounding of the IC is important for correct operation  
in noisy environments. The GND pin should be connected to  
a large copper fill under the IC which is subsequently  
connected to board ground at a quiet location on the board,  
typically found at an input or output bulk (electrolytic)  
capacitor.  
When the converter is sinking current, it is behaving as a  
boost converter that is regulating its input voltage. This  
means that the converter is boosting current into the V rail.

prevent this failure mode.

Modern microprocessors produce transient load rates above  
1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient  
and slow the current load rate seen by the bulk capacitors. The

Figure 10 shows an asymptotic plot of the DC/DC converter’s  
gain vs frequency. The actual modulator gain has a high gain  
peak dependent on the quality factor (Q) of the output filter, which  
is not shown. Using the above guidelines should yield a  
compensation gain similar to the curve plotted. The open loop  
error amplifier gain bounds the compensation gain. Check the  
High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as  
close to the power pins of the load as physically possible. Be  
careful not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that  
could cancel the usefulness of these low inductance  
components. Consult with the manufacturer of the load on  
specific decoupling requirements. For example, Intel  
recommends that the high frequency decoupling for the  
Pentium Pro be composed of at least forty (40) 1.0mF ceramic  
capacitors in the 1206 surface-mount package. Follow on  
specifications have only increased the number and quality of  
required ceramic decoupling capacitors.

log graph of Figure 10 by adding the modulator gain, G

equivalent to multiplying the modulator transfer function and  
the compensation transfer function and then plotting the  
resulting gain.  
Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for switching-  
regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The bulk  
capacitor’s ESR will determine the output ripple voltage and the  
initial voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient. An aluminum  
electrolytic capacitor's ESR value is related to the case size with  
lower ESR available in larger case sizes. However, the

equivalent series inductance (ESL) of these capacitors  
increases with case size and can reduce the usefulness of the  
capacitor to high slew-rate transient loading. Unfortunately, ESL  
is not a specified parameter. Work with your capacitor supplier  
and measure the capacitor’s impedance with frequency to select  
a suitable component. In most cases, multiple electrolytic  
capacitors of small case size perform better than a single large  
case capacitor.

Output Inductor Selection

The output inductor is selected to meet the output voltage  
ripple requirements and minimize the converter’s response  
time to the load transient. The inductor value determines the  
converter’s ripple current and the ripple voltage is a function of  
the ripple current. The ripple voltage and current are

Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current  
and voltage. However, the large inductance values reduce the  
converter’s response time to a load transient.  
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitor are the  
voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable  
operation, select the bulk capacitor with voltage and current  
ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest RMS  
current required by the circuit. The capacitor voltage rating  
should be at least 1.25x greater than the maximum input  
voltage and a voltage rating of 1.5x is a conservative guideline.  
The RMS current rating requirement for the input capacitor of a  
buck regulator is approximately as shown in Equation 13..  
One of the parameters limiting the converter’s response to a load  
transient is the time required to change the inductor current.  
Given a sufficiently fast control loop design, the ISL8105 will  
provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in response to a load  
transient. The response time is the time required to slew the  
inductor current from an initial current value to the transient  
current level. During this interval the difference between the  
inductor current and the transient current level must be supplied  
by the output capacitor. Minimizing the response time can  
minimize the output capacitance required.

For a through-hole design, several electrolytic capacitors

exercised with regard to the capacitor surge current rating.  
These capacitors must be capable of handling the surge-

current tested.

MOSFET Selection/Considerations  
With a lower input source such as 1.8V or 3.3V, the worst case  
response time can be either at the application or removal of  
load and dependent upon the output voltage setting. Be sure to  
check both of these equations at the minimum and maximum  
output levels for the worst case response time.  
The ISL8105 requires 2 N-Channel power MOSFETs. These  
should be selected based upon r  
, gate supply  
DS(ON)  
requirements, and thermal management requirements.  
In high-current applications, the MOSFET power dissipation,  
package selection and heatsink are the dominant design  
factors. The power dissipation includes two loss components:  
conduction loss and switching loss. The conduction losses are  
the largest component of power dissipation for both the top and

the bottom-side MOSFETs. These losses are distributed  
between the two MOSFETs according to duty factor. The  
switching losses seen when sourcing current will be different  
from the switching losses seen when sinking current. When  
sourcing current, the top-side MOSFET realizes most of the  
switching losses. The bottom-side switch realizes most of the  
switching losses when the converter is sinking current (see  
Equation 14). These equations assume linear voltage current  
transitions and do not adequately model power loss due to the  
reverse recovery of the upper and lower MOSFET’s body  
diode. The gate-charge losses are dissipated by the ISL8105  
and do not heat the MOSFETs. However, large gate charge
