Dual 2A/1.7A Low Quiescent Current 2.25MHz High Efficiency Synchronous Buck
Regulator
The ISL8022 is a high efficiency, dual synchronous step-down
DC/DC regulator that can deliver up to 2A/1.7A continuous
output current per channel. The channels are 180° out-ofphase for input RMS current and EMI reduction. The supply
voltage range of 2.8V to 5.5V allows for the use of a single Li+
cell, three NiMH cells or a regulated 5V input. The current
mode control architecture enables very low duty cycle
operation at high frequency with fast transient response and
excellent loop stability. The ISL8022 operates at 2.25MHz
switching frequency allowing for the use of small, low cost
inductors and capacitors. Each channel is optimized for
generating an output voltage as low as 0.6V.
Features
The ISL8022 has a user configurable mode of operation-forced
PWM mode and PFM/PWM mode. The forced PWM mode
operation reduces noise and RF interference while the PFM
mode operation provides high efficiency by reducing switching
losses at light loads. In PFM mode of operation, both channels
draw a total quiescent current of only 40µA, hence enabling
high light load efficiency in order to maximize battery life.
• Internal current mode compensation
• Dual 2A/1.7A high efficiency synchronous buck regulator
with up to 97% efficiency, low iq (40µA)
• 180° out-of-phase
• Start-up with pre-biased output
• Selectable forced PWM mode and PFM mode
• External synchronization up to 8MHz

Applications
• DC/DC POL modules
The ISL8022 offers a 1ms Power-Good (PG) to monitor both
outputs at power-up. When shutdown, ISL8022 discharges the
outputs capacitor. Other features include internal digital
soft-start, enable for power sequence, overcurrent protection,
and thermal shutdown. The ISL8022 is offered in a
4mmx3mm 12 Ld DFN package with 1mm maximum height.
The complete converter occupies less than 1.8cm2 area.

ISL8022
Theory of Operation
The ISL8022 is a dual 2A/1.7A step-down switching regulator
optimized for battery-powered or mobile applications. The
regulator operates at 2.25MHz fixed switching frequency under
heavy load condition to allow small external inductor and
capacitors to be used for minimal printed-circuit board (PCB)
area. At light load, the regulator reduces the switching frequency,
unless forced to the fixed frequency, to minimize the switching
loss and to maximize the battery life. The two channels are 180°
out-of-phase operation. The quiescent current when the outputs
are not loaded is typically only 40µA. The supply current is
typically only 6.5µA when the regulator is shut down.
PWM Control Scheme
Pulling the SYNC pin LOW (1.5V) enable the converter into PFM
mode at low load. The ISL8022 enters a pulse-skipping mode at
light load to minimize the switching loss by reducing the switching
frequency. Figure 45 illustrates the skip-mode operation. A
zero-cross sensing circuit shown in block diagram monitors the
N-MOSFET current for zero crossing. When 16 consecutive cycles of
the N-MOSFET crossing zero are detected, the regulator enters the
skip mode. During the 16 detecting cycles, the current in the
inductor is allowed to become negative. The counter is reset to zero
when the current in any cycle does not cross zero.
Once the skip mode is entered, the pulse modulation starts being
controlled by the SKIP comparator shown in the “Block Diagram” on
page 3. Each pulse cycle is still synchronized by the PWM clock. The
P-MOSFET is turned on at the clock and turned off when its current
reaches the threshold of 600mA. As the average inductor current in
each cycle is higher than the average current of the load, the output
voltage rises cycle over cycle. When the output voltage reaches
1.5% above the nominal voltage, the P-MOSFET is turned off
immediately. Then the inductor current is fully discharged to zero
and stays at zero. The output voltage reduces gradually due to the
load current discharging the output capacitor. When the output
voltage drops to the nominal voltage, the P-MOSFET will be turned
on again at the clock, repeating the previous operations.
The regulator resumes normal PWM mode operation when the
output voltage drops 1.5% below the nominal voltage.
Synchronization Control
The frequency of operation can be synchronized up to 8MHz by
an external signal applied to the SYNC pin. The 1st falling edge
on the SYNC triggered the rising edge of the PWM ON pulse of
Channel 1. The 2nd falling edge of the SYNC triggers the rising
edge of the PWM ON pulse of the Channel 2. This process
alternates indefinitely allowing 180° output phase operation
between the two channels.The internal frequency will take
control when the divided external sync is lower than 2.25MHz.
The falling edge on the SYNC triggers the rising edge of the PWM
ON pulse.

Positive and Negative Overcurrent Protection
UVLO
CSA1 and CSA2 are used to monitor output 1 and output 2
channels respectively. The overcurrent protection is realized by
monitoring the CSA_ output with the OCP threshold logic, as
shown in the “Block Diagram” on page 3. The current sensing
circuit has a gain of 0.32V/A, from the P-MOSFET current to the
CSA_ output. When the CSA_ output reaches the threshold of
1.25V for Channel 1 and 1.1V for Channel 2, the OCP comparator
is tripped to turn off the P-MOSFET immediately. The overcurrent
function protects the switching converter from a shorted output by
monitoring the current flowing through the upper MOSFETs.
When the input voltage is below the undervoltage lock-out (UVLO)
threshold, the regulator is disabled.
Upon detection of an overcurrent condition, the upper MOSFET
will be immediately turned off and will not be turned on again
until the next switching cycle. Upon detection of the initial
overcurrent condition, the Overcurrent Fault Counter is set to 1
and the Overcurrent Condition Flag is set from LOW to HIGH. If,
on the subsequent cycle, another overcurrent condition is
detected, the OC Fault Counter will be incremented. If there are
seventeen sequential OC fault detections, the regulator will be
shut down under an Overcurrent Fault Condition. An Overcurrent
Fault Condition will result with the regulator attempting to restart
in a hiccup mode with the delay between restarts being 4 softstart periods. At the end of the fourth soft-start wait period, the
fault counters are reset and soft-start is attempted again. If the
overcurrent condition goes away prior to the OC Fault Counter
reaching a count of four, the Overcurrent Condition Flag will set
back to LOW.
In the event that the inductor current reaches -1.6A, the part
enters Negative Overcurrent Protection. At this point, all
switching stops and the part enters tri-state mode while the pulldown FET is discharging the output until it reaches normal
regulation voltage, then the IC restarts switching.
PG
The power-good signal (PG), monitors both of the output
channels. When powering up, the open-collector Power-On-Reset
output holds low for about 1ms after VO1 and VO2 reaches the
preset voltages. The PG output also serves as a 1ms delayed
power-good signal. If one of the outputs is disabled, then PG only
monitors the active channels. There is an internal 1M pull-up
resistor.

Enable
The enable (EN1, EN2) input allows the user to control the turning
on or off the regulator for purposes such as power-up
sequencing. The regulator is enabled, there is typically a 600µs
delay for waking up the bandgap reference and the soft start-up
begins.
Soft Start-Up
The soft start-up eliminates the in-rush current during the
start-up. The soft-start block outputs a ramp reference to both
the voltage loop and the current loop. The two ramps limit the
inductor current rising speed as well as the output voltage speed
so that the output voltage rises in a controlled fashion. At the
very beginning of the start-up, the feedback voltage is less than
0.2V; hence the PWM operating frequency is 1/3 of the normal
frequency. In forced PWM mode, the IC will continue to start-up in
PFM mode to support pre-biased load applications.
Discharge Mode (Soft-Stop)
When a transition to shutdown mode occurs, or the output
undervoltage fault latch is set, the outputs discharge to GND
through an internal 100 switch.
Power MOSFETs
The power MOSFETs are optimized for best efficiency. The ONresistance for the P-MOSFET is typically 100m and the ONresistance for the N-MOSFET is typical 90m.
100% Duty Cycle
The ISL8022 features 100% duty cycle operation to maximize
the battery life. When the battery voltage drops to a level that the
ISL8022 can no longer maintain the regulation at the output, the
regulator completely turns on the P-MOSFET. The maximum
dropout voltage under the 100% duty-cycle operation is the
product of the load current and the ON-resistance of the PMOSFET.

ISL8022
Thermal Shutdown
PCB Layout Recommendation
The ISL8022 has built-in thermal protection. When the internal
temperature reaches +150°C, the regulator is completely shut
down. As the temperature drops to +130°C, the ISL8022
resumes operation by stepping through a soft start-up.
The PCB layout is a very important converter design step to make
sure the designed converter works well. Refer to ISL8022 design
procedure for suggestions. For ISL8022, the power loop is
composed of the output inductor L’s, the output capacitor COUT1
and COUT2, the LX’s pins, and the GND pin. It is necessary to
make the power loop as small as possible and the connecting
traces among them should be direct, short and wide. The
switching node of the converter, the LX_ pins, and the traces
connected to the node are very noisy, so keep the voltage
feedback trace away from these noisy traces. The input capacitor
should be placed to VIN pin as close as possible and the ground
of input and output capacitors should be connected as close as
possible. The heat of the IC is mainly dissipated through the
thermal pad. Maximizing the copper area connected to the
thermal pad is preferable. In addition, a solid ground plane is
helpful for better EMI performance. It is recommended to add at
least 5 vias ground connection within the pad for the best
thermal relief.
Applications Information
Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection
To consider steady state and transient operation, ISL8022
typically uses a 1.2µH output inductor. Higher or lower inductor
value can be used to optimize the total converter system
performance. For example, for higher output voltage 3.3V
application, in order to decrease the inductor current ripple and
output voltage ripple, the output inductor value can be increased.
The inductor ripple current can be expressed as in Equation 1:
VO
V O 1 – --------
V
IN
I = -----------------------------------L fS
(EQ. 1)
The inductor’s saturation current rating needs to be at least
larger than the peak current. The ISL8022 protects the typical
peak current 3.2A/2.8A. The saturation current needs to be over
3.6A for maximum output current application.
ISL8022 uses internal compensation network and the output capacitor
value is dependent on the output voltage. The ceramic capacitor is
recommended to be X5R or X7R. The recommended minimum output
capacitor values are shown in Table 1 for the ISL8022 on page 2.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the regulator can be programmed via an external
resistor divider that is used to scale the output voltage relative to the
internal reference voltage and feed it back to the inverting input of the
error amplifier. Refer to “Typical Applications” on page 2 Figure 2.
The output voltage programming resistor, R2 (or R5 in Channel
2), will depend on the desired output voltage of the regulator. The
value for the feedback resistor is typically between 0 and
750k.
Let R3 = 100k, then R2 will be as shown in Equation 2:
V OUT
R 2 = R 3 ------------- – 1
V FB
(EQ. 2)
If the output voltage desired is 0.6V, then R3 is left unpopulated
and short R2. For better performance, add 10pF in parallel to R2
Input Capacitor Selection
The main functions for the input capacitor is to provide
decoupling of the parasitic inductance and to provide filtering
function to prevent the switching current flowing back to the
battery rail. One 10µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is a good
starting point for the input capacitor selection per channel. An
optional input inductor can be used before the ceramic capacitor
to limit switching noise. It is recommended to limit the
inductance less than 0.15µH.
