ISL6556A
FN9096.3
Optimized Multi-Phase PWM Controller
with 6-Bit DAC for VR10.X Application
The ISL6556A controls microprocessor core voltage
regulation by driving up to 4 synchronous-rectified buck
channels in parallel. Multi-phase 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.
The ISL6556A utilizes r_DS(ON) current sensing in each
phase for adaptive voltage positioning (droop), channel-
current balancing, and overcurrent protection. To ensure
droop accuracy, an external NTC compensation circuit can
be used to completely nullify the effect of temperature
related variation in r_DS(ON).
A unity gain, differential amplifier is provided for remote
voltage sensing. Any potential difference between remote
and local grounds can be eliminated using the remote-sense
amplifier. The precision threshold-sensitive enable input is
available to accurately coordinate the start up of the
ISL6556A with Intersil MOSFET driver IC. Dynamic-VID™
technology allows seamless on-the-fly VID changes. The
offset pin allows accurate voltage offset settings that are
independent of VID setting. The ISL6556A uses 5V bias and
has a built-in shunt regulator to allow 12V bias using only a
small external limiting resistor.
