Complete Current Share 10A DC/DC Power Module
The ISL8200M is a simple and easy to use high power,
current-sharing DC\DC power module for Datacom\Telecom\
FPGA power hungry applications. All that is needed is the
ISL8200M, a few passive components and one VOUT setting
resistor to have a complete 10A design ready for market.
Features
The ease of use virtually eliminates the design and
manufacturing risks while dramatically improving time to
market.
• Programmable phase shift (1- to 6-phase)
• Complete switch mode power supply in one package
• Patented current share architecture reduces layout sensitivity
when modules are paralleled
• Extremely low profile (2.2mm height)
• Input voltage range +4.5V to +20V at 10A, current share up to
60A
Need more output current? Parallel up to six ISL8200M
modules to scale up to a 60A solution (see Figure 6 on
page 10).
• A single resistor sets VOUT from +0.6V to +6V
The simplicity of the ISL8200M is in its "Off The Shelf",
unassisted implementation versus a discrete implementation.
Patented current sharing in multi-phase operation greatly
reduces ripple currents, BOM cost and complexity. For
example, parallel 2 for 20A and up to 6 for 60A. The output
voltage can be precisely regulated to as low as 0.6V with ±1%
output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature
variations.
The ISL8200M’s thermally enhanced, compact QFN package,
operates at full load and over temperature, without requiring
forced air cooling. It's so thin it can even fit on the back side of
the PCB. Easy access to all pins with few external components,
reduces the PCB design to a component layer and a simple
ground layer.
• Output overvoltage, overcurrent and over-temperature
protection and undervoltage indication
• RoHS compliant
Applications
• Servers, Telecom and Datacom applications
• Industrial and medical equipment
• Point of load regulation

PGND1
Normal Ground - All voltage levels are referenced to this pad. This pad provides a return path for the low side MOSFET drives
and internal power circuitries as well as all analog signals. PGND and PGND1 should be connected together with a ground
plane.
5
ISET
Analog Current Output - This pin, along with the ISHARE pin, is used for multiple ISL8200M current sharing purposes. This
pin sources a 15µA offset current plus Channel 1’s average current. The voltage (VISET) set by an external resistor (RISET)
represents the average current level of the local active module. For full-scale current, RISET should be ~10kΩ. The output
current range is 15µA to 123µA typ. In the single module configuration, this pin can be tied to the ISHARE pin.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Analog Voltage Input - Used with VOUT to program the regulator output voltage. The typical input impedance of VOUT_SET
with respect to VSEN_REM- is 600kΩ. The typical input voltage is 0.6V.
Analog Voltage Input - This pin is the negative input of standard unity gain operational amplifier for differential remote sense
for the regulator, and should connect to the negative rail of the load/processor. This pin can be used for VOUT trimming by
connecting a resistor from this pin to the VOUT_SET pin.
Digital Output - This pin is used to drive an optional NFET, which will connect ISHARE with the system ISHARE bus upon
completing a pre-bias startup. The output voltage range is 0V to 5V.

PIN DESCRIPTION

ISHARE
Analog Current Output - Cascaded system level overcurrent shutdown pin. This pin is used where you have multiple modules
configured for current sharing and is used with a common current share bus. The bus sums each of the modules' average
current contribution to the load to protect for an overcurrent condition at the load. The pin sources 15µA plus average
module's output current. The shared bus voltage (VISHARE) is developed across an external resistor (RISHARE). VISHARE
represents the average current of all active channel(s) that are connected together.
The ISHARE bus voltage is compared with each module's internal reference voltage set by each module's RISET resistor. This
will generate an individual current share error signal in each cascaded controller. The share bus impedance RISHARE should
be set as RISET/NCTRL, RISET divided by the number of active current sharing controllers. The output current from this pin
generates a voltage across the external resistor. This voltage, VISHARE, is compared to an internal 1.2V threshold for average
overcurrent protection. For full-scale current, RISHARE should be ~10kΩ. Typically 10kΩ is used for RSHARE and RSET. The
output current range is 15µA to 123µA typ.
7
FSYNC_IN
Analog Input Control Pin - An optional external resistor (RFS-ext) connected to this pin and ground will increase the oscillator
switching frequency. It has an internal 59kΩ resistor for a default frequency of 700kHz. The internal oscillator will lock to an
external frequency source when connected to a square waveform. The external source is typically the CLKOUT signal from
another ISL8200M or an external clock. The internal oscillator synchronizes with the leading positive edge of the input signal.
The input voltage range from an external source is a 0V to 5V square wave. When not synchronized to an external clock, a
100pF capacitor between FSYNC_IN and PGND1 is recommended.
8
CLKOUT
Digital Voltage Output - This pin provides a clock signal to synchronize with other ISL8200M(s). When there is more than one
ISL8200M in the system, the two independent regulators can be programmed via PH_CNTRL for different degrees of phase
delay.
9
PH_CNTRL
Analog Input - The voltage level on this pin is used to program the phase shift of the CLKOUT clock signal to synchronize with
other module(s).
10
ISHARE_BUS
Open pin until first PWM pulse is generated. Then, via an internal FET, this pin connects the module’s ISHARE to the system’s
ISHARE bus after pre-bias is complete and soft-start is initiated.
11
FF
Analog Voltage Input - The voltage on this pin is fed into the controller, adjusting the sawtooth amplitude to generate the
feed-forward function. The input voltage range is 0.8V to VCC. Typically, FF is connected to EN.
12
EN
This is a double function pin: Analog Input Voltage - The input voltage to this pin is compared with a precision 0.8V reference
and enables the digital soft-start. The input voltage range is 0V to VCC or VIN through a pull-up resistor maintaining a typical
current of 5mA.
Analog Voltage Output - This pin can be used as a voltage monitor for input bus undervoltage lockout. The hysteresis levels
of the lockout can be programmed via this pin using a resistor divider network. Furthermore, during fault conditions (such as
overvoltage, overcurrent, and over-temperature), this pin is used to communicate the information to other cascaded modules
by pulling low the wired OR as it is an Open Drain. The output voltage range is 0V to VCC.
13
VIN
Analog Voltage Input - This pin should be tied directly to the input rail when using the internal linear regulator. It provides
power to the internal linear drive circuitry. When used with an external 5V supply, this pin should be tied directly to PVCC. The
internal linear device is protected against the reversed bias generated by the remaining charge of the decoupling capacitor
at VCC when losing the input rail. The input voltage range is 4.5V to 20V.
14
PVCC
Analog Output - This pin is the output of the internal series linear regulator. It provides the bias for both low-side and high-side
drives. Its operational voltage range is 4.5V to 5.6V. The decoupling ceramic capacitor in the PVCC pin is 10µF.
16
PHASE
17
PVIN
Analog Input - This input voltage is applied to the power FETs with the FET’s ground being the PGND pin. It is recommended
to place input decoupling capacitance, 22µF, directly between the PVIN pin and the PGND pin, as close as possible to the
module. The input voltage range is 3V to 20V.
18
PGND
All voltage levels are referenced to this pad. This is the low side MOSFET ground. PGND and PGND1 should be connected
together with a ground plane.
19
VOUT
Output voltage from the module. The output voltage range is 0.6V to 6V.
20
OCSET
Analog Input - This pin is used with the PHASE pin to set the current limit of the module. The input voltage range is 0V to 30V.
21
VCC
Analog Input - This pin provides bias power for the analog circuitry. It’s operational range is 4.5V to 5.6V. In 3.3V applications,
VCC, PVCC and VIN should be shorted to allow operation at the low end input as it relates to the VCC falling threshold limit.
This pin can be powered either by the internal linear regulator or by an external voltage source.
22
PGOOD
Analog Output - This pin, pulled up to VCC via an internal 10kΩ resistor, provides a Power Good signal when the output is
within 9% of nominal output regulation point with 4% hysteresis (13%/9%), and soft-start is complete. An external pull-up is
not required. PGOOD monitors the outputs (VMON1) of the internal differential amplifiers. The output voltage range is 0V to
VCC.
FN6727 Rev 2.00
