7 / 18 page 7 FN9168.2 September 22, 2006 Description Operation Overview The ISL6549 monitors and precisely controls two output voltage levels. Refer to the “Block Diagram” on page 2, “Simplified Power System Diagram” on page 3, and “Typical Application Schematic” on page 3. The controller is intended for use in applications where only a 12V bias input is available. The IC integrates both a standard buck PWM controller and a linear controller. The PWM controller regulates the output voltage (VOUT1) to a level programmed by a resistor divider. The linear controller is designed to regulate the lower current local memory voltage (VOUT2) through an external N-Channel MOS pass transistor. Internal PVCC5 Regulator The preferred and recommended configuration is as follows: +12V to VCC12 pin, a resistor (~10 Ω) between PVCC5 and VCC5 pins, and decoupling caps on all three pins to ground. This creates the PVCC5 voltage for the gate drivers, and externally filters it for bias on the VCC5 pin. It also guarantees that all 3 voltages track each other during power-up and power-down. The PVCC5 pin cannot be used as an input and it should not be used as an output for other circuits; its current capability is reserved for the gate drivers and VCC5 bias. Similarly, the VCC5 pin should not be used as an output. Although not preferred, the VCC5 pin can be used with an external 5V supply (±5%). However, proper precautions must be followed, which mainly have to do with proper sequencing, to prevent latch-up or related problems. Note in the power-up diagram (Figure 1), the 5V lags the 12V by a few msecs and a volt or so; that is expected. Both the VCC12 and VCC5 pins must exceed their rising POR trip points before the soft-start is enabled; the trip order is not important as long as both have some voltage. The 12V can be present with no 5V at all, but the 5V should not precede the 12V. Similarly, on power down, the 5V should discharge with or before the 12V. Under normal operation, the internal regulator can supply up to 100mA (which includes the VCC5 bias current, with the resistor between the pins). The amount of current is determined primarily by the switching parameters: the oscillator frequency and the loading of the FET gates. Overloading of the internal regulator is not recommended; even if there is enough current, the gate driver waveforms may be degraded. See “Switcher FET Considerations” on page 13 for more details. The PVCC5 pin has a current limit that provides some protection against a shorted gate driver dragging down the 12V rail. The temperature of the IC will increase as the current and corresponding on-chip power dissipation increases. There is no thermal shutdown, so even if the current limit is effective, the IC can be subject to very high temperatures. If the current limit is exceeded, the regulator voltage will likely collapse, shutting down everything until the load current is reduced or removed. Initialization The ISL6549 automatically initializes upon application of input power (at the VCC12) pin. The ISL6549 creates its own PVCC5 and VCC5 supplies for internal use. The POR function continually monitors the input bias supply voltage at the VCC12 and VCC5 pins. The POR function initiates soft- start operation after both these supply voltages exceed their POR rising threshold voltages. Soft-Start The POR function initiates the digital soft-start sequence. Both the linear regulator error amplifier and PWM error amplifier reference inputs are forced to track a voltage level proportional to the soft-start voltage. As the soft-start voltage slews up, the PWM comparator regulates the output relative to the tracked soft-start voltage, slowly charging the output capacitor(s). Simultaneously, the linear output follows the smooth ramp of the soft-start function into normal regulation. Figure 1 shows the soft-start sequence. Both the VCC12 and VCC5 pins must be above their respective rising POR trip points. In most cases, as shown here, the last one exceeding its threshold is the VCC12 around 9.5V. The ramp time is based on the internal oscillator period multiplied by 4096. So for a 600kHz (1.67µs) example, the soft-start ramp time would be 6.8ms. Figure 2 shows more detail of the output ramps, by increasing the time and voltage resolution. The clock for the DAC producing the steps is approximately 9.4kHz (600kHz/64), so each step is just over 100µs long. The step voltage is 1/64 of the final value for each output; around 31mV for VOUT1 and 15.6mV for VOUT2 in this example. By providing many small steps of voltage (and current) that effectively charge the output capacitor, the potentially large peak current resulting from a sudden, uncontrolled voltage rise are eliminated, by spreading it out over the whole ramp time.
