ISL6597 Integrated Power Stage
The ISL6597 is a high performance power stage for the
highest power density server and workstation buck
regulation solutions. The ISL6597 combined with the
ISL6592 Digital Multiphase Controller offers a complete high
current, small form factor solution with superior accuracy,
transient response, and protection features.
The ISL6597 integrates a low r_(DSON) high-side P-Channel
MOSFET together with both high-side and low-side
MOSFET drivers. The integration of the high-side power
FET with high- and low-side drivers minimizes switching
losses while providing industry leading power density. A
maximum peak output current of 30A per phase is supported
in an area less than 16mm², smaller than most discrete
power MOSFETs. The ISL6597 low-side driver supply
(VDRIVE) may be biased separately from the VCC supply
from 5V to 12V to optimize the system efficiency.
The ISL6597 has a patent pending lossless current sensor
which accurately senses the current in the high-side FET
independent of VID, inductor value, supply, temperature, and
switching frequencies. This integrated current sense method
provides the accuracy of precision resistor based sensing
with no efficiency loss.
The ISL6597 has an integrated high-side FET short detector
which reacts rapidly on startup to protect the processor
before the controller is powered up. The output high-side
short pins from each phase can drive a single external
crowbar circuitry for rapid protection from a high-side short
on any phase of a multiphase solution. The high-side short
pin also acts as an input, detecting alert signals from every
ISL6597 power stage in the system and protecting each
power stage internally as well.
The ISL6597 also has an integrated junction temperature
sensor which provides an on-die measurement of the high-
side FET temperature. When used with the ISL6592
controller, this feature provides very accurate,
programmable over-temperature protection.
The ISL6597 uses CSP packaging to provide the lowest
thermal resistance and smallest footprint. A relaxed 0.65mm
ball pitch allows for easy assembly.
