ISL88550AEVAL1Z Kit: Synchronous Step Down
Controller with Sourcing and Sinking LDO Regulator
General Description
ISL88550A integrates a synchronous buck PWM controller
to generate VDDQ, a sourcing and sinking LDO linear
regulator to generate VTT, and a 10mA reference output
buffer to generate VTTR. The buck controller drives two
external N-Channel MOSFETs to generate output voltages
down to 0.7V from a 2V to 25V input with output currents up
to 15A. The LDO can sink or source up to1.5A continuous
and 2.5A peak current with fast response. Both the LDO
output and the 10mA reference buffer output can be made to
track the REFIN voltage via a built-in resistive divider. These
features make the ISL88550A ideally suited for DDR
memory applications in desktops, notebooks and graphic
cards.
The PWM controller in the ISL88550A uses constant-on-time
PWM architecture with a programmable switching frequency
of up to 600kHz. This control scheme handles wide
input/output voltage ratios with ease and provides 100ns
“instant-on” response to load transients while maintaining
high efficiency and a relatively constant switching frequency.
The ISL88550A offers full programmable UVP/OVP and skip
mode options ideal in portable applications. Skip mode
allows for improved efficiency at lighter loads.
The VTT and VTTR outputs track to within 1% of VREFIN/2.
The high bandwidth of this LDO regulator allows excellent
transient response without the need for bulk capacitors, thus
reducing the cost and size.
