The ISL6269A IC is a Single-phase Synchronous-Buck PWM

controller featuring Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator R3™

Technology that delivers truly superior dynamic response to

input voltage and output load transients. Integrated MOSFET

drivers and bootstrap diode result in fewer components and

smaller implementation area.

Intersil’s R3™ Technology combines the best features of

fixed-frequency PWM and hysteretic PWM while eliminating

many of their shortcomings. R3™ Technology employs an

innovative modulator that synthesizes an AC ripple voltage

signal VR, analogous to the output inductor ripple current. The

AC signal VR enters a window comparator where the lower

threshold is the error amplifier output VCOMP, and the upper

threshold is a programmable voltage reference VW, resulting in

generation of the PWM signal. The voltage reference VW sets

the steady-state PWM frequency. Both edges of the PWM can

be modulated in response to input voltage transients and

output load transients, much faster than conventional

fixed-frequency PWM controllers. Unlike a conventional

hysteretic converter, the ISL6269A has an error amplifier that

provides ±1 voltage regulation at the FB pin.

The ISL6269A has a 1.5ms digital soft-start and can be

started into a prebiased output voltage. A resistor divider is

used to program the output voltage setpoint. The ISL6269A

can be configured to operate in Continuous Conduction Mode

(CCM) or Diode Emulation Mode (DEM), which improves

light-load efficiency. In CCM the controller always operates as a

synchronous rectifier, however when DEM is enabled, the

low-side MOSFET is permitted to stay off, blocking negative

current flow into the low-side MOSFET from the output

inductor.
