Functional description

The iso-buck topology based on the A6986I consists of:

•

Primary side, the regulation loop of the peak current mode architecture regulates the primary voltage (blue

area in the image below)

•

A two-windings transformer (in grey)

•

The secondary side, which generates the isolated output voltage (in green) given the selected transformer

ratio

Primary side

The A6986I is based on a “peak current mode”, constant frequency control. The intersection between the error

amplifier output and the sensed inductor current generates the PWM control signal to drive the power switch of

the primary side, defining so the duty-cycle and regulating the primary output voltage.

The device operates in forced PWM control (MLF pin to GND), allowing negative currents to flow in the

synchronous MOSFET, hence transferring energy to the secondary coil during the off-time.
