Since the voltage feedback is sensed at the processor die,
removing the GPU will open the voltage feedback path of the
regulator, causing the output voltage to rise towards VIN.
The ISL6263D will shut down when the voltage between the
VO and VSS pins exceeds the severe overvoltage protection
threshold VOVPS of 1.55V. To prevent this issue from
occurring, it is recommended to install resistors ROPN1 and
ROPN2, as shown in Figure 5. These resistors provide
voltage feedback from the regulator local output in the
absence of the GPU. These resistors should be in the range
of 20Ω to 100Ω
Diode Emulation Mode and Audio Filter Operation
The ISL6263D operates in continuous-conduction-mode
(CCM) during heavy load for minimum conduction loss by
forcing the low-side MOSFET to operate as a synchronous
rectifier. An improvement in light-load efficiency is achieved

by allowing the converter to operate in diode-emulation
mode (DEM) where the low-side MOSFET behaves as a
smart-diode, forcing the device to block negative inductor
current flow.
Positive-going inductor current flows from either the source of
the high-side MOSFET, or the drain of the low-side MOSFET.
Negative-going inductor current flows into the source of the
high-side MOSFET, or into the drain of the low-side MOSFET.
When the low-side MOSFET conducts positive inductor
current, the phase voltage will be negative with respect to the
VSS pin. Conversely, when the low-side MOSFET conducts
negative inductor current, the phase voltage will be positive
with respect to the VSS pin. Negative inductor current occurs
when the output DC load current is less than ½ the inductor
ripple current. Sinking negative inductor current through the
low-side MOSFET lowers efficiency through unnecessary
