100Ω and it should not be large in order to keep the unit gain
amplifier input impedance compatibility.
VMON1, 2 (Pins 31, 11)
These pins are outputs of the unity gain amplifiers. They are
connected internally to the OV/UV/PGOOD comparators.
These pins should be connected to the FB1, 2 pins by a
standard feedback network when both channels operating
independently. When VSEN1-, 2- are pulled within 700mV of
VCC, the corresponding differential amplifier is disabled and
its output (VMON pin) is high impedance. In such an event,
the VMON pin can be used as an additional monitor of the
output voltage with a resistor divider to protect the system
against single point of failure, which occurs in the system
using the same resistor divider for both of the UV/OV
comparator and output voltage feedback.
Modes of Operation
There are 9 typical operation modes depending upon the
signal levels on EN1/FF1, EN2/FF2, VSEN2+, VSEN2-, FB2,
and CLKOUT/REFIN.
MODE 1: The IC is completely disabled when EN1/FF1 and
EN2/FF2 are pulled below 0.8V.
MODE 2: With EN1/FF1 pulled low and EN2/FF2 pulled high
(Mode 2A), or EN1/FF1 pulled high and EN2/FF2 pulled low
(Mode 2B), the ISL8120IRZEC operates as a single phase
regulator. the current sourcing out from the ISHARE pin
represents the first channel current plus 15µA offset current.
MODE 3: When VSEN2- is used as a negative sense line,
both channels’ phase shift depends upon the voltage level of
CLKOUT/REFIN. When the CLKOUT/REFIN pin is within
29% to 45% of VCC, Channel 2 delays 0° over Channel 1
(Mode 3A); when within 45% to 62% of VCC, 90°delay
(Mode 3B); when greater than 62% to VCC, 180° delay
(Mode 3C). Refer to the “DDR and Dual Mode Operation” on
page 30.
MODE 4: When VSEN2- is used as a negative remote sense
line, and CLKOUT/REFIN is connected to a external voltage
ramp lower than the internal soft-start ramp and lower than
0.6V, the external ramp signal will replaces Channel 2’s
internal soft-start ramp to be tracked at start-up, controller
operating in DDR mode. The controller will use the lowest
voltage among the internal 0.6V reference, the external
voltage in CLKOUT/REFIN pin and the soft-start ramp signal.
Channel 1 is delayed 60° behind Channel 2. Refer to the
“DDR and Dual Mode Operation” on page 30.

MODE 5: With VSEN2- pulled within 700mV of VCC and
FB2 pulled to ground, the internal channels are 180°
out-of-phase and operate in 2-phase single output mode
(5A). The CLKOUT/REFIN pin (rising edge) also signals out
clock with 60° phase shift relative to the Channel 1’s clock
signal (falling edge of PWM) for 6-phase operation with two
other ISL8120IRZECs (5B). When the share Pins are not
connected to each other for the three ICs in sync, two of
which can operate in Mode 5A (3 independent outputs can
be generated (Mode 5D)) and Modes 3 and 4 (to generate 4
independent outputs (Mode 5C)) respectively.
MODE 6: With VSEN2- pulled within 700mV of VCC, FB2
pulled high and VSEN2+ pulled low, the internal channels
(as 1
and operate in 3-phase single output mode, combined with
another ISL8120IRZEC at MODE 2B. The CLKOUT/REFIN
pin signals out 120° relative phases to the falling edge of
Channel 1’s clock signal to synchronize with the second
ISL8120IRZEC’s Channel 1 (as 2
MODE 7: With VSEN2- pulled within 700mV of VCC and
FB2 and VSEN2+ pulled high, the internal channels is 180°
out-of-phase. The CLKOUT/REFIN pin (rising edge) signals
out 90° relative phase to the Channel 1’s clock signal (falling
edge of PWM) to synchronize with another ISL8120IRZEC,
which can operate at Mode 3, 4, 5A, or 7A. A 4-phase single
output converter can be constructed with two
ISL8120IRZECs operating in Mode 5A or 7A (Mode 7A). If
the share bus is not connected between ICs, each IC could
generate an independent output (Mode 7B). When the
second ISL8120IRZEC operates as two independent
regulators (Mode 3) or in DDR mode (Mode 4), then three
independent output system is generated (Mode 7C). Both
ICs can also be constructed as a 3-phase converter (0°, 90°,
and 180°, not a equal phase shift for 3-phase) with a single
phase regulator (270°).
MODE 8: The output CLKOUT signal allows expansion for
12-phase operation with the cascaded sequencing as shown
in Table 1. No external clock is required in this mode for the
desired phase shift.
MODE 9: With an external clock, the part can be expanded
for 5, 7, 8, 9 10 and 11 phase single output operation with the
desired phase shift.
