Pin Descriptions
BOOT3, BOOT2, BOOT1 (Pin 20, 26, 31)
These pins are bootstrap pins to provide bias for high side
driver. The bootstrap diodes are integrated to help reduce
total cost and reduce layout complexity.
UGATE3, UGATE2, UGATE1 (Pin 21, 27, 30)
These pins provide the gate drive for the upper MOSFETs.
PHASE3, PHASE2, PHASE1 (Pin 19, 25, 32)
These pins are connected to the junction of the upper
MOSFET’s source, output filter inductor, and lower MOSFET’s
drain.
LGATE3, LGATE2, LGATE1 (Pin 22, 28, 29)
These pins provide the gate drive for the lower MOSFETs.
PGND (Pin 23)
This pin provides the power ground connection for the lower
gate drivers for all PWM1, PWM2 and PWM3. This pin
should be connected to the sources of the lower MOSFETs
and the (-) terminals of the external input capacitors.
FB3, FB2, FB1, LDOFB (Pin 16, 13, 6, 10)
These pins are connected to the feedback resistor divider
and provide the voltage feedback signals for the respective
controller. They set the output voltage of the converter. In
addition, the PGOOD circuit uses these inputs to monitor the
output voltage status.
ISEN3, ISEN2, ISEN1 (Pin 18, 24, 1)
These pins are used to monitor the voltage drop across the
lower MOSFET for current loop feedback and overcurrent
protection.
PGOOD (Pin 2)
This is an open drain logic output used to indicate the status
of the output voltages AND input voltage (voltage on VIN pin;
early warning for ISL9440 and ISL9440A). This pin is pulled
low when either of the three PWM outputs is not within 10%
of the respective nominal voltage, or if the linear controller
output is less than 75% of it’s nominal value, or VIN pin
voltage drops below 5.55V.
ISL9440 and ISL9440A’s PGOOD pin also indicates the VIN
pin status for early warning function. If the voltage on VIN pin
drops below 5.55V, this pin will be pulled low.
SGND (Pin 11)
This is the small-signal ground, common to all 4 controllers,
and are suggested to be routed separately from the high
current ground (PGND). In case of one whole solid ground
and no noisy current going through around chip, SGND and
PGND can be tied to the same ground copper plane. All
voltage levels are measured with respect to this pin. A small
ceramic capacitor should be connected right next to this pin
for noise decoupling.

ISL9440, ISL9440A, ISL9441
VIN (Pin 4)
Use this pin to power the device with an external supply
voltage with a range of 5.6V to 24V. For 5V ±10% operation,
connect this pin to VCC_5V.
For ISL9440 and ISL9440A, the voltage on this pin is
monitored for early warning function. If the voltage on this
pin drop below 5.55V, the PGOOD will be pulled low. RST
will be low after PGOOD toggles to low for 5.5µs (TYP).
Refer to Figure 1 for detailed time sequence.
ISL9441 doesn’t have early warning functions, which means
the VIN pin voltage is not monitored.
VCC_5V (Pin 3)
This pin is the output of the internal 5V linear regulator. This
output supplies the bias for the IC, the low side gate drivers,
and the external boot circuitry for the high side gate drivers.
The IC may be powered directly from a single 5V (±10%)
supply at this pin. When used as a 5V supply input, this pin
must be externally connected to V
be always decoupled to power ground with a minimum of
4.7μF ceramic capacitor, placed very close to the pin.
EN3, EN2, EN1 (Pin 17, 14, 5)
These pins provide an enable/disable function for their
respective PWM output. The output is enabled when this pin
is floating or pulled HIGH, and disabled when the pin is
pulled LOW.
G4 (Pin 9)
This pin is the open drain output of the linear regulator
controller.
OCSET3, OCSET2, OCSET1 (Pin 15, 12, 7)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets the overcurrent
threshold for the respective PWM.
RST (Pin 8)
Reset pulse output. This pin outputs a logic LOW signal after
PGOOD toggles to low for 5.5µs (TYP). It can be used to
reset system.
Refer to Figure 1 for detailed time sequence of ISL9440 and
ISL9440A with early warning function.
ISL9441 doesn’t have early warning functions, which means
the VIN pin voltage is not monitored. But RST still output
LOW signal following PGOOD LOW.
