Automotive PWM DC/DC Voltage Controller
ISL78210
The ISL78210 IC is a Single-Phase Synchronous-Buck
PWM voltage controller featuring Intersil’s Robust Ripple
Regulator (R
3
™) Technology. The ISL78210 provides a
low cost solution for compact high performance
applications.The wide 3.3V to 25V input voltage range is
ideal for systems that run on battery or AC adapter
power sources. Resistor programmed output voltage
setpoint and capacitor programmed soft-start delay allow
for fast and easy implementation. Robust integrated
MOSFET drivers and Schottky bootstrap diode reduce the
implementation area and lower component cost.
Intersil’s R
3
Technology™ combines the best features of
both fixed-frequency and hysteretic PWM control. The
PWM frequency is 300kHz during static operation,
becoming variable during changes in load, setpoint
voltage, and input voltage when changing between
battery and AC adapter power. The modulators ability to
change the PWM switching frequency during these
events in conjunction with external loop compensation
produces superior transient response. For maximum
efficiency, the converter automatically enters
diode-emulation mode (DEM) during light-load conditions
such as system standby.

DESCRIPTION
IC ground for bias supply and signal reference.
Enable input for the IC. Pulling EN above the VENTHR rising threshold voltage initializes
the soft-start sequence.
No internal connection. Pins 3 and 5 should be connected to the GND pin.
Soft-start programming capacitor input. Connects internally to the inverting input of the
VSET voltage setpoint amplifier.
Power-good open-drain indicator output. This pin changes to high impedance when the
converter is able to supply regulated voltage. The pull-down resistance between the
PGOOD pin and the GND pin identifies which protective fault has shut down the regulator.
See Table 1 on page 10.
Voltage feedback sense input. Connects internally to the inverting input of the
control-loop error amplifier. The converter is in regulation when the voltage at the FB pin
equals the voltage on the SREF pin. The control loop compensation network connects
between the FB pin and the converter output. See Figure 8 on page 11.
Output voltage sense input for the R3 modulator. The VO pin also serves as the reference
input for the overcurrent detection circuit. See Figure 5 on page 7.
Input for the overcurrent detection circuit. The overcurrent setpoint programming
resistor ROCSET connects from this pin to the sense node. See “OVERCURRENT
PROGRAMMING CIRCUIT” on page 7.
Return current path for the UGATE high-side MOSFET driver. VIN sense input for the R3
modulator. Inductor current polarity detector input. Connect to junction of output
inductor, high-side MOSFET, and low-side MOSFET. See “Application Schematics” on
page 4 (Figures 2 and 3).
High-side MOSFET gate driver output. Connect to the gate terminal of the high-side
MOSFET of the converter.
Positive input supply for the UGATE high-side MOSFET gate driver. The BOOT pin is
internally connected to the cathode of the Schottky boot-strap diode. Connect an MLCC
between the BOOT pin and the PHASE pin.
Input for the IC bias voltage. Connect +5V to the VCC pin and decouple with at least a
1µF MLCC to the GND pin. See “Application Schematics” on page 4 (Figures 2 and 3).
Input for the LGATE and UGATE MOSFET driver circuits. The PVCC pin is internally
connected to the anode of the Schottky boot-strap diode. Connect +5V to the PVCC pin
and decouple with a 10µF MLCC to the PGND pin. See “Application Schematics” on page 4
(Figures 2 and 3).
Low-side MOSFET gate driver output. Connect to the gate terminal of the low-side
MOSFET of the converter.
Return current path for the LGATE MOSFET driver. Connect to the source of the low-side
MOSFET.
