Product details
Overview
ISL6443AIVZ-TK from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a triple-output DC/DC controller integrating two 300kHz out-of-phase synchronous buck PWM controllers and one linear regulator controller, supporting input voltages from 4.5V to 24V and output voltages adjustable down to 0.8V. It delivers precise voltage sequencing for DSP, FPGA, and memory power rails in xDSL modems and set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6443AIVZ-TK datasheet, ISL6443AIVZ-TK pinout, ISL6443AIVZ-TK application, or ISL6443AIVZ-TK equivalent, key selection criteria include its 180° out-of-phase PWM operation for reduced input ripple, no external current-sense resistor requirement (using rDS(ON) sensing), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, independent shutdown inputs (SD1/SD2), and single PGOOD monitoring all three outputs.
Technical Context
The ISL6443AIVZ-TK implements current-mode PWM control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable loop gain across wide VIN ranges. Its dual PWM channels operate at fixed 300kHz with adaptive dead-time gate drivers and synchronized 180° phase offset to minimize RMS input current and EMI.
Each PWM uses lower-MOSFET rDS(ON) for current sensing via ISEN1/ISEN2 pins, with OCSET1/OCSET2 resistors setting overcurrent thresholds at 1.7V reference. The linear controller (GATE3) supports PNP/PFET configurations for ultra-low-dropout regulation, while internal 5V LDO (VCC_5V) powers bias circuitry and boot capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 300kHz ±13% - fixed-frequency operation enables predictable EMI filtering and simplifies output inductor selection. |
| PWM phase relationship | 180° out-of-phase - reduces input capacitor RMS ripple current by up to 30%, lowering required capacitance and ESR. |
| Output voltage range | 0.8V to VIN − Vd1 - supports core logic (1.2V), I/O (3.3V), and analog (2.5V) rails with resistor-divider feedback (FB1–FB3). |
| Current sensing method | rDS(ON)-based, no external resistor - eliminates sense-resistor power loss and PCB area; OCSET pins set threshold at 1.7V. |
| Protection features | Hiccup-mode OCP, thermal shutdown at +150°C, UVLO on VCC_5V (4.25V rise), independent SD1/SD2 shutdown - ensures robust fault recovery without latch-up. |
| PGOOD logic | Open-drain output active HIGH only when both PWM outputs are within ±10% of setpoint AND linear output >75% of setpoint - provides system-level power-good validation. |
| Package | 28-lead TSSOP (M28.173), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free - surface-mount package with exposed pad not present; compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
ISL6443AIVZ-TK is housed in a 28-lead TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 9.7mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm height), with SGND (Pin 20) as small-signal ground and PGND (Pin 9) as high-current power ground-requiring separate PCB routing to avoid noise coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1, FB2, FB3 | Voltage feedback inputs | Connect to resistor dividers to set PWM1/PWM2 and linear regulator output voltages; referenced to SGND; bias current ≤150nA. |
| ISEN1, ISEN2 | Current sense inputs | Monitor voltage drop across lower MOSFETs' rDS(ON); enable lossless current limiting without external sense resistors. |
| UGATE1, UGATE2 | High-side N-MOSFET gate drivers | Provide 400mA peak drive; require external bootstrap circuit (BOOTx–PHASEx) for high-side gate voltage boosting above VIN. |
| LGATE1, LGATE2 | Low-side N-MOSFET gate drivers | Supplied from VCC_5V; 400mA sink/source capability; optimized for fast turn-on/turn-off with adaptive dead-time control. |
| GATE3 | Linear regulator output driver | Open-drain output driving PNP emitter or PFET source; supports ultra-low dropout with programmable output via FB3 divider. |
| SD1, SD2 | Independent PWM enable/disable | Logic-level inputs: HIGH (≥2.0V) enables respective PWM; LOW (≤0.8V) disables with soft-stop behavior and PGOOD recalibration. |
| PGOOD | Power-good status indicator | Open-drain output pulled HIGH only after soft-start completion and simultaneous regulation of all enabled outputs per Table 1. |
| VIN, VCC_5V | Main supply and internal LDO | VIN accepts 4.5–24V; VCC_5V is 5V ±10% LDO output (60mA min), used as bias source and boot capacitor charger. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Out-of-phase dual PWM | 180° phase shift reduces input capacitor RMS ripple current by ~30%, enabling smaller, lower-cost bulk capacitance. |
| rDS(ON) current sensing | Eliminates external current-sense resistor and associated power loss; OCSET pins allow precise overcurrent threshold tuning. |
| Independent soft-start | SS1/SS2 pins support programmable ramp time (via external capacitor) and output voltage sequencing (e.g., core before I/O). |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Two-cycle fault latching followed by automatic soft-start retry prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or short-circuit. |
| Single PGOOD with multi-output validation | Asserts only when all enabled outputs meet regulation tolerance and soft-start completes-reducing need for external power-monitor ICs. |
Applications
| xDSL Modem Power Supply | FPGA Core & I/O Rail Sequencing |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-output DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6443AIRZ | Same die, 28-lead 5×5 QFN package (L28.5x5); 36°C/W θJA vs. 75°C/W for TSSOP; exposed thermal pad improves thermal performance. | Better suited for high-power-density designs with limited airflow; requires different PCB land pattern and reflow profile. | Select ISL6443AIRZ when thermal budget is constrained and board space allows QFN footprint; ISL6443AIVZ-TK remains optimal for legacy TSSOP-compatible layouts. |
| TPS51220ARGER | Dual 300kHz synchronous buck controller only (no linear regulator); supports 0.6V–5.5V outputs; integrated MOSFET drivers but no GATE3 output. | Lacks third linear output-requires external LDO for low-noise analog rails; no PGOOD monitoring of linear output. | Choose TPS51220ARGER only if linear regulation is handled separately; ISL6443AIVZ-TK provides tighter integration for mixed-signal SoC power domains. |
Compared with ISL6443AIRZ, ISL6443AIVZ-TK offers identical functionality in a thermally less efficient but more manufacturable TSSOP package; versus TPS51220ARGER, it uniquely integrates linear regulation and unified PGOOD, reducing component count by one LDO and one supervisor IC in multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the ISL6443AIVZ-TK?
The ISL6443AIVZ-TK supports a maximum input voltage of 24V on the VIN pin. When powered from the VCC_5V pin instead, the input range is limited to 4.5V to 5.6V. Absolute maximum rating for VIN is +27V, but operation above 24V risks exceeding internal voltage limits and triggering overvoltage protection. The ISL6443AIVZ-TK datasheet specifies 24V as the upper limit for reliable continuous operation under recommended conditions.
Does the ISL6443AIVZ-TK require external current-sense resistors?
No, the ISL6443AIVZ-TK does not require external current-sense resistors. It uses the rDS(ON) of the lower MOSFETs to sense output current via the ISEN1 and ISEN2 pins. This lossless sensing method eliminates power dissipation and PCB area associated with shunt resistors. Overcurrent thresholds are set by resistors from OCSET1/OCSET2 to ground, referencing an internal 1.7V threshold. The ISL6443AIVZ-TK datasheet confirms this architecture on page 12 under "Overcurrent Protection".
How does the PGOOD signal behave when only one PWM output is enabled?
When only one PWM output is enabled (e.g., SD1 = HIGH, SD2 = LOW), the PGOOD signal goes HIGH only after soft-start completes for the enabled channel and its output voltage stabilizes within ±10% of the setpoint-while ignoring FB2 and SS2 status. The linear regulator output (FB3) must still exceed 75% of its setpoint. This behavior is defined in Table 1 of the ISL6443AIVZ-TK datasheet, where "x" denotes "don't care" for disabled channels' feedback and soft-start states.
Can the ISL6443AIVZ-TK synchronize with other controllers?
Yes, the ISL6443AIVZ-TK supports bidirectional frequency synchronization via the SYNC pin. Connecting SYNC pins of multiple ISL6443AIVZ-TK devices-with one configured as master (SYNC pulled to VCC_5V) and others as slaves (SYNC pulled to ground via 1kΩ)-forces all units to operate at the master's frequency. The SYNC input accepts 4.16–5.44MHz signals, corresponding to 16× the internal 300kHz clock. This capability is documented in the Electrical Specifications table on page 5 of the ISL6443AIVZ-TK datasheet.
What is the purpose of the SGND and PGND pins on the ISL6443AIVZ-TK?
SGND (Pin 20) is the small-signal reference ground for all error amplifiers, feedback comparators, and logic circuits; it must be routed separately from high-current paths. PGND (Pin 9) is the power ground for low-side gate drivers and lower MOSFET sources, carrying high di/dt currents. Separating SGND and PGND prevents noise coupling into sensitive analog circuitry-critical for stable regulation and accurate current sensing. The ISL6443AIVZ-TK Pin Descriptions section (page 10) explicitly mandates separate PCB routing for these grounds.
