DATASHEET ISL6326 FN9262 Rev 1.00 4-Phase PWM Controller with 8-Bit DAC Code Capable of Precision DCR May 5, 2008 Differential Current Sensing The ISL6326 controls microprocessor core voltage regulation Features by driving up to 4 synchronous-rectified buck channels in Proprietary Active Pulse Positioning and Adaptive Phase parallel. Multiphase buck converter architecture uses Alignment Modulation Scheme interleaved timing to multiply channel ripple frequency and reduce input and output ripple currents. Lower ripple results in Precision Multiphase Core Voltage Regulation fewer components, lower component cost, reduced power - Differential Remote Voltage Sensing dissipation, and smaller implementation area. - 0.5% System Accuracy Over Life, Load, Line and Temperature Microprocessor loads can generate load transients with - Adjustable Precision Reference-Voltage Offset extremely fast edge rates. The ISL6326 utilizes Intersils proprietary Active Pulse Positioning (APP) and Adaptive Precision Resistor or DCR Current Sensing Phase Alignment (APA) modulation scheme to achieve the - Accurate Load-Line Programming extremely fast transient response with fewer output capacitors. - Accurate Channel-Current Balancing - Differential Current Sense Todays microprocessors require a tightly regulated output voltage position versus load current (droop). The ISL6326 Microprocessor Voltage Identification Input senses the output current continuously by utilizing patented - Dynamic VID Technology techniques to measure the voltage across the dedicated - 8-Bit VID Input with Selectable VR11 Code and current sense resistor or the DCR of the output inductor. Extended VR10 Code at 6.25mV Per Bit Current sensing provides the needed signals for precision Thermal Monitoring droop, channel-current balancing, and overcurrent protection. A programmable integrated temperature Integrated Programmable Temperature Compensation compensation function is implemented to effectively Overcurrent Protection and Channel Current Limit compensate for the temperature coefficient of the current sense element. The current limit function provides the Overvoltage Protection overcurrent protection for the individual phase. 2-, 3- or 4-Phase Operation A unity gain, differential amplifier is provided for remote Adjustable Switching Frequency up to 1MHz Per Phase voltage sensing. Any potential difference between remote Package Option and local grounds can be completely eliminated using the - QFN Compliant to JEDEC PUB95 MO-220 QFN - Quad remote-sense amplifier. Eliminating ground differences Flat No Leads - Product Outline improves regulation and protection accuracy. The threshold- - QFN Near Chip Scale Package Footprint Improves sensitive enable input is available to accurately coordinate PCB Efficiency, Thinner in Profile the start up of the ISL6326 with any other voltage rail. Dynamic-VID technology allows seamless on-the-fly VID Pb-Free (RoHS Compliant) changes. The offset pin allows accurate voltage offset settings that are independent of VID setting.
