ISL6455, ISL6455A
Triple Output Regulator with Single
Synchronous Buck and Dual LDO
The ISL6455 is a highly integrated triple output regulator
which provides a single chip solution for FPGAs and wireless
chipset power management. The device integrates a high
efficiency synchronous buck regulator (adjustable) with two
ultra low noise LDO regulators (adjustable). Either the
ISL6455 or ISL6455A can be selected based on whether
3.3V ±10% or 5V ±10% is required as an input voltage.
The synchronous current mode control PWM regulator with
integrated N- and P-channel power MOSFET provides
adjustable voltages based on external resistor setting.
Synchronous rectification with internal MOSFETs is used to
achieve higher efficiency and reduced number of external
components. Operating frequency is typically 750kHz
allowing the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values.
The device can be synchronized to an external clock signal
in the range of 500kHz to 1MHz. The PG_PWM output
indicates loss of regulation on PWM output.
The ISL6455 also has two LDO adjustable regulators using
internal PMOS transistors as pass devices. LDO2 features
ultra low noise typically below 30μV
RMS
to aid VCO stability.
The EN_LDO pin controls LDO1 and LDO2 outputs. The
ISL6455 also integrates a RESET function, which eliminates
the need for additional RESET IC required in WLAN and
other applications. The IC asserts a RESET signal whenever
the V
IN
supply voltage drops below a preset threshold,
keeping it asserted for at least 25ms after V
IN
has risen
above the reset threshold. The PG_LDO output indicates
loss of regulation on either of the two LDO outputs. Other
features include overcurrent protection and thermal
shutdown for all the three outputs.
High integration and the thin Quad Flat No-lead (QFN)
package makes ISL6455 an ideal choice for powering
FPGAs and small form factor wireless cards such as
PCMCIA, mini-PCI and Cardbus-32.
