negative voltage across the PHASE and GND pins is nulled by the
voltage dropped across R
SEN
as I
SEN
conducts through it. An OCP
fault occurs if I
SEN
rises above the OCP threshold current I
OC
while attempting to null the negative voltage across the PHASE
and GND pins. I
SEN
must exceed I
OC
on all the PWM pulses that
occur within 20µs. If I
SEN
falls below I
OC
on a PWM pulse before
20µs has elapsed, the timer will be reset. An SCP fault will occur
within 10µs when I
SEN
exceeds twice I
OC.
The relationship
between I
D
and I
SEN
is written as:
The value of R
SEN
is then written as:
Where:
-R
SEN
(Ω) is the resistor used to program the overcurrent
setpoint
-I
SEN
is the current sense current that is sourced from the
ISEN pin
-I
OC
is the I
SEN
threshold current sourced from the ISEN pin
that will activate the OCP circuit
-I
FL
is the maximum continuous DC load current
-I
P-P
is the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current
-OC
SP
is the desired overcurrent setpoint expressed as a
multiplier relative to I
FL
Overvoltage Protection
When an OVP fault is detected, the PGOOD pin will pull down to
60Ω
and latch-off the converter. The OVP fault will remain
latched until V
VCC
has decayed below the falling POR threshold
voltage
V
VCC_THF
.
The OVP fault detection circuit triggers after the voltage across
the FB and GND pins has increased above the rising overvoltage
threshold V
OVR.
Although the converter has latched-off in
response to an OVP fault, the LG gate-driver output will retain the
ability to toggle the low-side MOSFET on and off, in response to
the output voltage transversing the V
OVR
and V
OVF
thresholds.
Undervoltage Protection
When a UVP fault is detected, the PGOOD pin will pull down to
95Ω
and latch-off the converter. The fault will remain latched
until the EN pin has been pulled below the falling EN threshold
voltage V
ENTHF
or if V
VCC
has decayed below the falling POR
threshold voltage
V
VCC_THF
.
The UVP fault detection circuit
triggers after the voltage across the FB and GND pins has fallen
below the undervoltage threshold V
UV
.
Over-Temperature
When the temperature of the ISL6269A increases above the
rising threshold temperature T
OTR
, the IC will enter an OTP state
that suspends the PWM , forcing the LG and UG gate-driver
outputs low. The status of the PGOOD pin does not change nor
does the converter latch-off. The PWM remains suspended until
the IC temperature falls below the hysteresis temperature
T
OTHYS
at which time normal PWM operation resumes. The OTP
state can be reset if the EN pin is pulled below the falling EN
threshold voltage V
ENTHF
or if V
VCC
decays below the falling POR
threshold voltage
V
VCC_THF
. All other protection circuits function
normally during OTP. It is likely that the IC will detect an UVP fault
because in the absence of PWM, the output voltage immediately
decays below the undervoltage threshold V
UV
; the PGOOD pin will
pull down to 95Ω
and latch-off the converter. The UVP fault will
remain latched until the EN pin has been pulled below the falling
EN threshold voltage V
ENTHF
or if V
VCC
has decayed below the
falling POR threshold voltage
V
VCC_THF
.
Programming the Output Voltage
When the converter is in regulation there will be 600mV from the
FB pin to the GND pin. Connect a two-resistor voltage divider
across the VO pin and the GND pin with the output node
connected to the FB pin. Scale the voltage-divider network such
that the FB pin is 600mV with respect to the GND pin when the
converter is regulating at the desired output voltage. The output
voltage can be programmed from 600mV to 3.3V.
Programming the output voltage is written as:
Where:
-V
OUT
is the desired output voltage of the converter
-V
REF
is the voltage that the converter regulates to between
the FB pin and the GND pin
-R
TOP
is the voltage-programming resistor that connects
from the FB pin to the VO pin. In addition to setting the
output voltage, this resistor is part of the loop compensation
network
-R
BOTTOM
is the voltage-programming resistor that connects
from the FB pin to the GND pin
Beginning with R
TOP
between 1kΩ to 5kΩcalculating R

is written as:
Programming the PWM Switching Frequency
The ISL6269A does not use a clock signal to produce PWM. The
PWM switching frequency f
SW
is programmed by the resistor
R
FSET
that is connected from the FSET pin to the GND pin. The
approximate PWM switching frequency is written as:
Estimating the value of R
FSET
is written as:
Where:
-f
SW
is the PWM switching frequency
-R
FSET
is the f
SW
programming resistor
-K = 75 x 10
-12
It is recommended that whenever the control loop compensation
network is modified, f
SW
should be checked for the correct
frequency and if necessary, adjust R
FSET
.
