FN9276.2
Enhanced 6-Phase PWM Controller with
8-Bit VID Code and Differential Inductor
DCR or Resistor Current Sensing
The ISL6327 controls microprocessor core voltage regulation
by driving up to 6 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 ISL6327 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 ISL6327
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.
Current sensing provides the needed signals for precision
droop, channel-current balancing, and overcurrent
protection. A programmable integrated temperature
compensation function is implemented to effectively
compensate the temperature variation 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 ISL6327 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.
