PWM DC/DC Controller with VID Inputs for
Portable GPU Core-Voltage Regulator
The ISL62873 is a Single-Phase Synchronous-Buck PWM
voltage regulator featuring Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator
(R³) Technology™. The wide 3.3V to 25V input voltage range
is ideal for systems that run on battery or AC-adapter power
sources. The ISL62873 is a low-cost solution for applications
requiring dynamically selected slew-rate controlled output
voltages. The soft-start and dynamic setpoint slew-rates are
capacitor programmed. Voltage identification logic-inputs
select two resistor-programmed setpoint reference voltages
that directly set the output voltage of the converter between
0.5V to 1.5V, and up to 3.3V using a feedback voltage divider.
Optionally, an external reference such as the DAC output from
a microcontroller, can be used by either IC to program the
setpoint reference voltage, and still maintain the controlled
slew-rate features. Robust integrated MOSFET drivers and
Schottky bootstrap diode reduce the implementation area and
lower component cost.
Intersil’s R³ 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.
