ISL6569A
Multi-Phase PWM Controller
The ISL6569A provides core-voltage regulation by driving
two interleaved synchronous-rectified buck-converter
channels in parallel. Interleaving the channel timing results
in increased ripple frequency which reduces input and output
ripple currents. The reduction in ripple results in lower
component cost, reduced dissipation, and a smaller
implementation area.
The ISL6569A uses cost and space-saving r
DS(ON)
sensing
for channel current balance, active voltage positioning, and
over-current protection. Output voltage is monitored by an
internal differential remote sense amplifier. A high-bandwidth
error amplifier drives the output voltage to match the
programmed 5-bit DAC reference voltage. The resulting
compensation signal guides the creation of pulse width
modulated (PWM) signals to control companion Intersil
MOSFET drivers. The OFS pin allows direct offset of the
DAC voltage from 0V to 50mV using a single external
resistor. The reference and amplifiers are trimmed to ensure
a system accuracy of ±0.5% over temperature.
Outstanding features of this controller IC include
Dynamic VID
TM
technology allowing seamless on-the-fly VID
changing without the need of any external components.
Output voltage “droop” or active voltage positioning is
optional. When employed, it allows the reduction in size and
cost of the output capacitors required to support load
transients. A threshold-sensitive enable input allows the use
of an external resistor divider for start-up coordination with
Intersil MOSFET drivers or any other devices powered from
a separate supply.
Superior over-voltage protection is achieved by gating on the
lower MOSFET of all phases to crowbar the output voltage.
An optional second crowbar on V
IN
, formed with an external
MOSFET or SCR gated by the OVP pin, is triggered when
an over-voltage condition is detected. Under-voltage
conditions are detected, but PWM operation is not disrupted.
Over-current conditions cause a hiccup-mode response as
the controller repeatedly tries to restart. After a set number
of failed startup attempts, the controller latches off. A power
good logic signal indicates when the converter output is
between the UV and OV thresholds.
