ISL6327A
FN6833.0
Enhanced 6-Phase PWM Controller with
8-Bit VID Code and Differential Inductor
DCR or Resistor Current Sensing
The ISL6327A 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 ISL6327A 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 ISL6327A
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 ISL6327A 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.
