DC/DC Power Switching Regulator
The ISL8560 is a step down DC/DC power switching
regulator which accepts 9.0V to 60V input and provides a 2A
output current. The output voltage can be set in the range
between 1.21V and 55V by means of an external divider.
The device uses an internal power DMOS transistor with a
typical rDS(ON) of 0.19 to obtain very high efficiency and
high switching speed. A switching frequency in the range of
100kHz to 600kHz can be realized (the maximum power
dissipation of the various packages must be observed).
Notable features of this next generation of DC/DC converter
includes pulse-by-pulse current limit for FET protection,
hiccup mode for short circuit protection, voltage feedforward
regulation, Frequency SYNC, soft-start, low standby current
of 60µA typical in the disabled state, and thermal shut-down.
The device is available in a 20 Ld QFN package.

• Voltage feedforward mode
• Step down DC/DC supporting up to 2A
• Input voltage range of 9.0V to 60V

*An accidental short between VCC5 and GND may cause excessive heating and permanent damage to the device.
NOTES:
1. JA is measured in free air with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board with “direct attach” features. See
Tech Brief TB379.
2. For JC, the “case temp” location is the center of the exposed metal pad on the package underside.
3. Additional heatsinking may be required to insure that the junction temperature does not exceed above +125°C.

Pin Descriptions
SGND (Pin 8)
LX (Pins 1, 2, 15, 16)
The SGND terminal of the ISL8560 provides the return path
for the control and monitor portions of the IC.
There are four output pins that must be connected together
externally in normal operation.
BOOT (Pin 3)
A capacitor is connected from this pin to the output pin. An
internal 10V supply and an internal Schottky diode provide
the high side voltage to drive the gate of the output DMOS
device.
EN (Pin 4)
The EN input will disable the part and shut-down all function
when it is held high or left OPEN. The EN current will be
10µA typical. An internal pull-up resistor will hold the pin
high. When EN = Low, the part is enabled. Connect to GND
for auto start-up.
VCC5 (Pin 5)
VCC5 is the +5.0V output pin which provides an output of an
internal supply for supply filtering purposes. A 1µF capacitor
should be connected from this pin to GND. Internal VDD
supply is set at 5.0V (not planned that the user would use
this supply).
FB (Pin 9)
This is the feedback pin. The feedback ratio is set by an
external resistor divider connected to the load.
COMP (Pin 10)
This pin is connected to the output of the Error Amplifier and
is used to compensate the loop. The Error Amplifier is a GM
amplifier.
REF (Pin 11)
1.20V reference output. Bypass to GND with 0.01µF
capacitor.
PGOOD (Pin 12)
This pin is an open drain output that is turned on when the
feedback voltage is more than ±10% from the reference
voltage, indicating that the output is not within 10% of set
point.
PGND (Pin 13)
This pin is used as the ground connection of the power train.
SYNC (Pin 6)
SS (Pin 14)
This pin provides a digital input pin to synchronize the
internal oscillator to an external signal. When the sync
function is not used, this pin can be left open or tied to GND.
If the sync function is used, the RTCT timing must be set to a
frequency lower than the sync input frequency. The
termination of the ramp is synchronized with the rising edge
of the sync input signal. There are no duty cycle restrictions
on the input sync signal. Input thresholds are TTL
compatible.
A capacitor is connected from this pin to GND to determine
the soft-start timing. The soft-start pin internal charging
current is 10µA.
VIN (Pins 17, 18, 19, 20)
The input supply for the PWM regulator power stage.
Connected to DRAIN of the high side MOSFET.
RTCT (Pin 7)
A resistor to VIN and a capacitor to GND determine the
frequency of the saw-tooth oscillator. Resistor range is
R = 20k to 100k. Capacitor range is C = 470pF to 1.2nF. The
oscillator amplitude will vary from approximately 0.9V to 10V
as VIN changes from 8.5V to 60V to maintain constant
frequency and provide feed forward. The oscillator will have
a fixed off time, which will establish the maximum on time for
the regulator. This off time will be
