ISL6269A
High-Performance Notebook PWM
Controller
The ISL6269A IC is a Single-Phase Synchronous-Buck
PWM controller featuring Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator
(R
3
) 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 R
3
technology combines the best features of fixed-
frequency PWM and hysteretic PWM while eliminating many
of their shortcomings. R
3
technology employs an innovative
modulator that synthesizes an AC ripple voltage signal V
R
,
analogous to the output inductor ripple current. The AC
signal V
R
enters a window comparator where the lower
threshold is the error amplifier output V
COMP
, and the upper
threshold is a programmable voltage reference V
W,
resulting
in generation of the PWM signal. The voltage reference V
W
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 pre-biased 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.

material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100%
matte tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and
compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow
temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of
IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
