4-Phase PWM Controller with 8-Bit DAC
Code Capable of Precision DCR
Differential Current Sensing
The ISL6326B controls microprocessor core voltage
regulation by driving up to 4 synchronous-rectified buck
channels in parallel. Multiphase buck converter architecture
uses interleaved timing to multiply channel ripple frequency
and reduce input and output ripple currents. Lower ripple
results in fewer components, lower component cost, reduced
power dissipation, and smaller implementation area.
Microprocessor loads can generate load transients with
extremely fast edge rates. The ISL6326B utilizes Intersil’s
proprietary Active Pulse Positioning (APP) and Adaptive
Phase Alignment (APA) modulation scheme to achieve the
extremely fast transient response with fewer output
capacitors.
Today’s microprocessors require a tightly regulated output
voltage position versus load current (droop). The ISL6326B
senses the output current continuously by utilizing patented
techniques to measure the voltage across the dedicated
current sense resistor or the DCR of the output inductor. The
sensed current flows out of FB pin to develop the precision
voltage drop across the feedback resistor for droop control.
Current sensing also provides the needed signals for
channel-current balancing, and overcurrent protection. A
programmable integrated temperature compensation
function is implemented to effectively compensate for the
temperature coefficient of the current sense element. The
current limit function provides the overcurrent protection for
the individual phase.
A unity gain, differential amplifier is provided for remote
voltage sensing. Any potential difference between remote
and local grounds can be completely eliminated using the
remote-sense amplifier. Eliminating ground differences
improves regulation and protection accuracy. The threshold-
sensitive enable input is available to accurately coordinate
the start up of the ISL6326B with any other voltage rail.
Dynamic-VID™ technology allows seamless on-the-fly VID
changes. The offset pin allows accurate voltage offset
settings that are independent of VID setting.
