Pin Descriptions
PVCC - Positive supply for the power (internal FET) stage of
the PWM section.
SGND - Analog ground for the PWM. All internal control
circuits are referenced to this pin.
EN - The PWM controller is enabled when this pin is HIGH,
and disabled when the pin is pulled LOW. It is a CMOS logic-
level input (referenced to V
V
EN_LDO - LDO1 and LDO2 are enabled when this pin is
HIGH, and disabled when the pin is pulled LOW. It is a
CMOS logic-level input (referenced to V
CT - Timing capacitor pin to set the 25ms minimum pulse
width for the RESET signal.
RESET - This pin is the output of the reset supervisory
circuit, which monitors VIN_PWM. The IC asserts a RESET
signal whenever the supply voltage drops below a preset
threshold. It is kept asserted for a minimum of 25ms after
V
push-pull. The device will continue to operate until V
below the UVLO threshold.
When EN = LOW then RESET = HIGH and the moment EN
is made HIGH the RESET will pulse LOW for a period of
25ms minimum (VIN > Reset threshold). If VIN < reset
threshold then it will switch low and stay low for a period of
25ms after VIN_PWM crosses the reset threshold.
PG_LDO - This is a high impedance open drain output that
provides the status of both LDOs. When either of the outputs
are out of regulation, PG_LDO goes LOW.
CC1 - This is the compensation capacitor connection for
LDO1. Connect a 0.033µF capacitor from CC1 to
GND_LDO.
CC2 - This is the compensation capacitor connection for
LDO2. Connect a 0.033µF capacitor from CC2 to
GND_LDO.

device can be synchronized to 500kHz to 1MHz switching

Functional Description
The ISL6455 is a 3-in-1 multi-output regulator designed for
FPGA and wireless chipset power applications. The device
integrates a single synchronous buck regulator with dual
LDOs. The PWM output can be set by choosing appropriate
values for Re and Rf. At a setting of 1.8V the synchronous
buck regulator provides for an efficiency greater than 92%.
The LDO1 can be set with resistor pair Rc and Rd. The
LDO2 can be set with the resistor pair Ra and Rb.
Undervoltage lock-out (UVLO) prevents the converter from
turning on when the input voltage is less than 2.6V typical.
Additional blocks include output overcurrent protection,
thermal sensor, PGOOD detectors, RESET function and
shutdown logic.
Synchronous Buck Regulator
The synchronous buck regulator with integrated N- and
P-channel power MOSFETs and external voltage setting
resistors provides for adjustable voltages from the PWM.
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 PWM architecture uses a peak current mode control
scheme with internal slope compensation. At the beginning
of each clock cycle, the high side P-channel MOSFET is
turned on. The current in the inductor ramps up and is
