Advanced PWM and Triple Linear Power  
Controller for Gateway Applications  
Features  
• Provides four regulated voltages  
The ISL6440A provides the power control and protection for  
four output voltages required by microprocessors used in  
high-performance, graphics-intensive gateway applications.  
The IC integrates a voltage-mode PWM controller and three  
linear controllers, as well as the monitoring and protection  
functions into a 28 lead SOIC package.  
- Microprocessor core, AGP bus, memory, and GTL bus  
power  
• Drives N-Channel MOSFETs  
• Linear regulator drives compatible with both MOSFET and  
bipolar series pass transistors  
• Fixed or externally resistor-adjustable linear outputs  
The synchronous rectified buck converter includes an Intel®-  
compatible, TTL five-input, digital-to-analog converter (DAC)  
• Simple single-loop control design  
- Voltage-mode PWM control  
that adjusts the core PWM output voltage from 1.3V  
to  
• Fast PWM converter transient response  
- High-bandwidth error amplifier  
- Full 0–100% duty ratio

increments. The precision reference and voltage-mode  
control provide ±1% static regulation. A TTL-compatible  
signal applied to the SELECT pin dictates which method of  
control is used for the AGP bus power. A low state results in  
linear control of the AGP bus to 1.5V, while a high state  
transitions the output through a linearly controlled soft-start  
to 3.3V, followed by full enhancement of the external  
MOSFET to pass the input voltage. The other two linear  
regulators provide fixed output voltages of 1.5V GTL bus  
power and 1.8V power for the north/south bridge core and/or  
cache memory. These levels are user-adjustable by means  
of an external resistor divider and pulling the FIX pin low. All  
linear controllers can employ either N-Channel MOSFETs or  
bipolar NPNs for the pass transistor.  
• Excellent output voltage regulation  
- Core PWM output: ±1% over temperature  
- Other outputs: ±3% over temperature  
• TTL-compatible 5-bit DAC core output voltage selection  
- Shutdown feature removed when all inputs high  
- Wide range 1.3V  
to 3.5V  
DC  
DC  
• Power-good output voltage monitor  
• Overvoltage and overcurrent fault monitors  
- Switching regulator does not require extra current  
Sensing element, uses upper MOSFET’s r  
DS(ON)  
• Small converter size  
- Constant frequency operation  
- 200kHz free-running oscillator; programmable from  
50kHz to over 1MHz  
- Small external component count  
The ISL6440A monitors all the output voltages. A single  
power good signal is issued when the core is within ±10% of  
the DAC setting and all other outputs are above their under-  
voltage levels. Additional built-in overvoltage protection for  
the core output uses the lower MOSFET to prevent output  
voltages above 115% of the DAC setting. The PWM

undergoes a new soft-start cycle. Left open, this pin is pulled  
low by an internal pull-down resistor, enabling operation.  
VCC (Pin 28)  
Provide a 12V bias supply for the IC to this pin. This pin also  
provides the gate bias charge for all the MOSFETs  
controlled by the IC. The voltage at this pin is monitored for  
power-on reset (POR) purposes.  
FIX (Pin 2)  
Grounding this pin bypasses the internal resistor dividers  
that set the output voltage of the 1.5V and 1.8V linear  
regulators. This way, the output voltage of the two regulators  
can be adjusted from 1.26V up to the input voltage (+3.3V or  
+5V) by way of an external resistor divider connected at the  
corresponding VSEN pin. The new output voltage set by the  
external resistor divider can be determined using the  
following formula:  
GND (Pin 17)  
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured  
with respect to this pin.

VID0, VID1, VID2, VID3, VID4 (Pins 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3)  
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,  
along with an internal 28µA current source, sets the soft-start  
interval of the converter.  
VID0-4 are the TTL-compatible input pins to the 5-bit DAC.  
The logic states of these five pins program the internal  
voltage reference (DACOUT). The level of DACOUT sets the  
microprocessor core converter output voltage, as well as the  
corresponding PGOOD and OVP thresholds.  
FAULT / RT (Pin 13)  
This pin provides oscillator switching frequency adjustment.  
By placing a resistor (R ) from this pin to GND, the nominal  
200kHz switching frequency is increased according to the  
following equation:

OCSET (Pin 23)  
Connect a resistor from this pin to the drain of the respective

PHASE (Pin 26)  
Connect the PHASE pin to the PWM converter’s upper  
MOSFET source. This pin represents the gate drive return  
current path and is used to monitor the voltage drop across  
the upper MOSFET for overcurrent protection.  
Nominally, the voltage at this pin is 1.26V. In the event of an  
overvoltage or overcurrent condition, this pin is internally  
pulled to VCC.  
PGOOD (Pin 8)  
UGATE (Pin 27)  
PGOOD is an open collector output used to indicate the  
status of the output voltages. This pin is pulled low when the  
synchronous regulator output is not within ±10% of the  
DACOUT reference voltage or when any of the other outputs  
are below their undervoltage thresholds.  
Connect UGATE pin to the PWM converter’s upper  
MOSFET gate. This pin provides the gate drive for the upper  
MOSFET.  
LGATE (Pin 25)  
The PGOOD output is open for ‘11111’ VID code.  
Connect LGATE to the PWM converter’s lower MOSFET  
gate. This pin provides the gate drive for the lower MOSFET.  
SD (Pin 9)  
This pin shuts down all the outputs. A TTL-compatible, logic  
level high signal applied at this pin immediately discharges  
the soft-start capacitor, disabling all the outputs. Dedicated  
COMP and FB (Pin 20 and 21)  
COMP and FB are the available external pins of the PWM  
converter error amplifier. The FB pin is the inverting input of the  
6
ISL6440A  
error amplifier. Similarly, the COMP pin is the error amplifier  
output. These pins are used to compensate the voltage-mode  
control feedback loop of the synchronous PWM converter.  
The AGP bus voltage (VOUT2) is set using the SELECT  
pin to either a 1.5V linear regulated output or to the 3.3V  
through a pass device. Selection of either output voltage is  
set depending on the logic level of the SELECT pin.

The ISL6440A automatically initializes upon receipt of input

necessary. The POR function continually monitors the input

This pin determines the output voltage of the AGP bus linear

and the linear controller regulates this voltage to within ±3%.

A TTL high input turns Q3 on continuously, providing a DC

approximately 1V. At t1, the SS pin and error amplifier

the clamped error amplifier output voltage. As the SS pin  
voltage increases, the pulse width on the PHASE pin  
increases. The interval of increasing pulse width continues  
until each output reaches sufficient voltage to transfer

PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core voltage

During the interval between t2 and t3, the error amplifier  
reference ramps to the final value and the converter

this level, the lower MOSFET, Q2 is driven on.

All four outputs are monitored and protected against extreme  
overload. A sustained overload on any output or an  
current increases through the inductor (L  
). At time t1,

Figure 3 shows a simplified schematic of the fault logic. An  
overvoltage detected on VSEN1 immediately sets the fault  
latch. A sequence of three overcurrent fault signals also sets  
the fault latch. The overcurrent latch is set dependent upon  
the states of the overcurrent (OC), linear undervoltage (LUV)  
and the soft-start signals. A window comparator monitors the  
SS pin and indicates when C is fully charged to 4V (UP  
signal). An undervoltage on either linear output (VSEN2,  
VSEN3, or VSEN4) is ignored until after the soft-start interval  
(t4 in Figure 2). This allows V  
increase without fault at start-up. Cycling the bias input

the overcurrent comparator. Again, this inhibits all outputs,  
but the soft-start voltage continues increasing to 4V before  
discharging. The counter increments to 2. The soft-start  
cycle repeats at t3 and trips the overcurrent comparator. The  
SS pin voltage increases to 4V at t4 and the counter  
increments to 3. This sets the fault latch to disable the

desired for these two outputs, the FIX pin provides the

Application Guidelines  
3.0  
Soft-Start Interval  
3.1  
Initially, the soft-start function clamps the error amplifier’s  
output of the PWM converter. This generates PHASE pulses  
of increasing width that charge the output capacitor(s). After  
the output voltage increases to approximately 70% of the set  
value, the reference input of the error amplifier is clamped to  
a voltage proportional to the SS pin voltage. The resulting  
output voltages start-up as shown in Figure 2.  
3.2  
3.3  
3.4  
3.5  
NOTE: 0 = connected to GND, 1 = open or connected to 5V through  
pull-up resistors.  
The soft-start function controls the output voltage rate of rise  
to limit the current surge at start-up. The soft-start interval and  
the surge current are programmed by the soft-start capacitor,  
OUT2 Voltage Selection  
The AGP output voltage is internally set to one of two levels,  
based on the status of the SELECT pin. Grounding the  
SELECT pin enables the internal 1.5V regulator control  
C
. Programming a faster soft-start interval increases the  
SS  
peak surge current. The peak surge current occurs during the  
initial output voltage rise to 70% of the set value.

ISL6440A  
control IC. Minimize any leakage current paths from SS  
Shutdown  
node, since the internal current source is only 28µA.  
The ISL6440A features a dedicated shutdown pin (SD). A  
TTL-compatible, logic high signal applied to this pin shuts  
down (disables) all four outputs and discharges the soft-start  
capacitor. Following a shutdown, a logic low signal  
re-enables the outputs through initiation of a new soft-start  
cycle. Left open this pin will asses a logic low state, due to its  
internal pull-down resistor, thus enabling normal operation of  
all outputs.  
A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended.  
Figure 7 shows the connections of the critical components  
in the converter. Note that the capacitors C and C  
IN  
OUT  
each represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate  
one solid layer for a ground plane and make all critical  
component ground connections with vias to this layer.  
Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and break  
this plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels.  
The power plane should support the input power and  
output power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top  
and bottom circuit layers for the PHASE nodes, but do not  
unnecessarily oversize these particular islands. Since the  
PHASE nodes are subjected to very high dv/dt voltages,  
the stray capacitor formed between these islands and the  
surrounding circuitry will tend to couple switching noise.  
Use the remaining printed circuit layers for small signal  
wiring. The wiring traces from the control IC to the  
MOSFET gate and source should be sized to carry 2A peak  
currents.  
The PWM output does not switch until the soft-start voltage  
(V ) exceeds the oscillator’s valley voltage. The references  
SS  
on each linear’s error amplifier are clamped to the soft-start  
voltage. Holding the SS pin low (with an open drain or  
collector signal) turns off all four regulators.  
The ‘11111’ VID code also shuts down the IC.  
Layout Considerations  
MOSFETs switch quickly and efficiently. The speed with  
which the current transitions from one device to another  
causes voltage spikes across the interconnecting  
impedances and parasitic circuit elements. The voltage  
spikes can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit,  
and lead to device overvoltage stress. Careful component  
layout and printed circuit design minimizes the voltage  
spikes in the converter. Consider, as an example, the turn-  
off transition of the upper PWM MOSFET. Prior to turn-off,  
the upper MOSFET was carrying the full load current.  
During the turn-off, current stops flowing in the upper  
MOSFET and is picked up by the lower MOSFET or  
Schottky diode. Any inductance in the switched current  
path generates a large voltage spike during the switching  
interval. Careful component selection, tight layout of the  
critical components, and short, wide circuit traces minimize  
the magnitude of voltage spikes. See Application Note  
AN9836 for evaluation board drawings of the component  
placement and the printed circuit board layout of a typical  
application.  
PWM Controller Feedback Compensation  
The PWM controller uses voltage-mode control for output  
regulation. This section highlights the design consideration  
for a PWM voltage-mode controller. Apply the methods and  
considerations only to the PWM controller.  
Figure 8 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a  
synchronous rectified buck converter. The output voltage  
(V  
) is regulated to the Reference voltage level. The  
OUT  
reference voltage level is the DAC output voltage  
(DACOUT). The error amplifier (Error Amp) output (V ) is  
compared with the oscillator (OSC) triangular wave to  
provide a pulse-width modulated (PWM) wave with an  
E/A  
amplitude of V at the PHASE node. The PWM wave is  
IN  
smoothed by the output filter (L and C ).

The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer

There are two sets of critical components in a DC-DC  
converter using a ISL6440A controller. The switching power  
components are the most critical because they switch large  
amounts of energy, and as such, they tend to generate  
equally large amounts of noise. The critical small signal  
components are those connected to sensitive nodes or  
those supplying critical bypass current.

Output Capacitors  
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current  
and voltage. However, the large inductance values increase  
the converter’s response time to a load transient.  
The output capacitors for each output have unique  
requirements. In general, the output capacitors should be  
selected to meet the dynamic regulation requirements.  
Additionally, the PWM converters require an output capacitor  
to filter the current ripple. The load transient for the  
microprocessor core requires high quality capacitors to  
supply the high slew rate (di/dt) current demands.  
One of the parameters limiting the converter’s response to a  
load transient is the time required to change the inductor  
current. Given a sufficiently fast control loop design, the  
ISL6440A will provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in  
response to a load transient. The response time is the time  
interval required to slew the inductor current from an initial  
current value to the post-transient current level. During this  
interval the difference between the inductor current and the  
transient current level must be supplied by the output  
capacitor(s). Minimizing the response time can minimize the  
output capacitance required.  
PWM Output  
Modern microprocessors produce transient load rates above  
1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient  
current and slow the load rate-of-change seen by the bulk  
capacitors. The bulk filter capacitor values are generally  
determined by the ESR (effective series resistance) and  
voltage rating requirements rather than actual capacitance  
requirements.  
The response time to a transient is different for the  
application of load and the removal of load. The following  
equations give the approximate response time interval for  
application and removal of a transient load:  
High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as  
close to the power pins of the load as physically possible. Be  
careful not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that  
could cancel the usefulness of these low inductance  
components. Consult with the manufacturer of the load on  
specific decoupling requirements.

Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for  
switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The  
bulk capacitor’s ESR determines the output ripple voltage and  
the initial voltage drop following a high slew-rate transient’s  
edge. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor’s ESR value is  
related to the case size with lower ESR available in larger  
case sizes. However, the equivalent series inductance (ESL)  
of these capacitors increases with case size and can reduce  
the usefulness of the capacitor to high slew-rate transient  
loading. Unfortunately, ESL is not a specified parameter. Work  
with your capacitor supplier and measure the capacitor’s  
impedance with frequency to select a suitable component. In  
most cases, multiple electrolytic capacitors of small case size  
perform better than a single large case capacitor.  
response time to the removal of load. Be sure to check both  
of these equations at the minimum and maximum output  
levels for the worst case response time.  
Input Capacitors  
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitors are  
the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable  
operation, select bulk input capacitors with voltage and  
current ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest  
RMS current required by the circuit. The capacitor voltage  
rating should be at least 1.25 times greater than the  
maximum input voltage and a voltage rating of 1.5 times is a  
conservative guideline. The RMS current rating requirement  
for the input capacitor of a buck regulator is approximately  
½ the summation of the DC load current.  
Linear Output Capacitors  
The output capacitors for the linear regulators provide  
dynamic load current. The linear controllers use dominant  
pole compensation integrated into the error amplifier and are  
insensitive to output capacitor selection. Output capacitors  
should be selected for transient load regulation.  
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage  
overshoot across the MOSFETs. Use ceramic capacitance  
for the high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors to  
supply the RMS current. Small ceramic capacitors can be  
placed very close to the upper MOSFET to suppress the  
voltage induced in the parasitic circuit impedances.  
PWM Output Inductor  
For a through-hole design, several electrolytic capacitors  
(Panasonic HFQ series or Nichicon PL series or Sanyo MV-GX  
or equivalent) may be needed. For surface mount designs,  
solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution must be  
exercised with regard to the capacitor surge current rating.  
These capacitors must be capable of handling the surge-  
current at power-up. The TPS series available from AVX, and  
the 593D series from Sprague are both surge current tested.  
The PWM converter requires an output inductor. The output  
inductor is selected to meet the output voltage ripple  
requirements and sets the converter’s response time to a  
load transient. The inductor value determines the converter’s  
ripple current and the ripple voltage is a function of the ripple  
current. The ripple voltage and current are approximated by  
the following equations:

dissipation, package selection and heat sink are the  
dominant design factors. The power dissipation includes two  
loss components; conduction loss and switching loss. These  
losses are distributed between the upper and lower  
MOSFETs according to duty factor (see the equations  
below). The conduction losses are the main component of  
power dissipation for the lower MOSFETs. Only the upper  
MOSFET has significant switching losses, since the lower  
device turns on and off into near zero voltage.

Rectifier CR1 is a clamp that catches the negative inductor  
swing during the dead time between the turn off of the lower  
MOSFET and the turn on of the upper MOSFET. The diode  
must be a Schottky type to prevent the lossy parasitic  
MOSFET body diode from conducting. It is acceptable to  
omit the diode and let the body diode of the lower MOSFET  
clamp the negative inductor swing, but efficiency could drop  
one or two percent as a result. The diode's rated reverse  
breakdown voltage must be greater than the maximum input  
voltage.  
The equations below assume linear voltage-current  
transitions and do not model power loss due to the reverse-  
recovery of the lower MOSFET’s body diode. The gate-  
charge losses are dissipated by the ISL6440A and do not  
heat the MOSFETs. However, large gate-charge increases  
Linear Controller Transistors  
The main criteria for selection of transistors for the linear  
regulators is package selection for efficient removal of heat.  
The power dissipated in a linear regulator is:  
the switching time, t  
which increases the upper MOSFET  
SW  
switching losses. Ensure that both MOSFETs are within their  
maximum junction temperature at high ambient temperature  
by calculating the temperature rise according to package  
thermal-resistance specifications. A separate heat sink may  
be necessary depending upon MOSFET power, package  
type, ambient temperature and air flow.

When selecting bipolar NPN transistors for use with the

The r  
DS(ON)  
is different for the two equations above even if  
the same device is used for both. This is because the gate  
drive applied to the upper MOSFET is different than the  
lower MOSFET. Figure 10 shows the gate drive where the  
upper MOSFET’s gate-to-source voltage is approximately  
VCC less the input supply. For +5V main power and  
+12VDC for the bias, the gate-to-source voltage of Q1 is 7V.  
The lower gate drive voltage is +12VDC. A logic-level  
MOSFET is a good choice for Q1 and a logic-level MOSFET  
can be used for Q2 if its absolute gate-to-source voltage  
rating exceeds the maximum voltage applied to VCC.

Figure 11 shows an application circuit of a power supply for a  
microprocessor computer system. The power supply provides  
the microprocessor core voltage (VOUT1), the AGP bus  
voltage (VOUT2), the GTL bus voltage (VOUT3), and the  
memory voltage (VOUT4) from +3.3V, +5VDC, and +12VDC.
