ACPI Regulator/Controller for Dual  
Channel DDR Memory Systems  
Features  
• Generates 3 Regulated Voltages  
The ISL6532A provides a complete ACPI compliant power  
solution for up to 4 DIMM dual channel DDR/DDR2 Memory  
systems. Included are both a synchronous buck controller  
- Synchronous Buck PWM Controller with Standby LDO  
- 3A Integrated Sink/Source Linear Regulator with  
Accurate VDDQ/2 Divider Reference.  
and integrated LDO to supply V  
with high current during  
DDQ  
- Glitch-free Transitions During State Changes  
- LDO Regulator for 1.5V Video and Core voltage  
S0/S1 states and standby current during S3 state. During  
S0/S1 state, a fully integrated sink-source regulator  
generates an accurate (V  
/2) high current V voltage

controller is also integrated for AGP core voltage regulation.  
• PWM Controller Drives Low Cost N-Channel MOSFETs  
• 250kHz Constant Frequency Operation  
The switching PWM controller drives two N-Channel  
MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck converter  
topology. The synchronous buck converter uses voltage-  
mode control with fast transient response. Both the switching  
regulator and standby LDO provide a maximum static  
regulation tolerance of ±2% over line, load, and temperature  
ranges. The output is user-adjustable by means of external  
resistors down to 0.8V.  
• Tight Output Voltage Regulation  
- All Outputs: ±2% Over-Temperature  
• 5V or 3.3V Down Conversion  
• Fully-Adjustable Outputs with Wide Voltage Range: Down  
to 0.8V supports DDR and DDR2 Specifications  
• Simple Single-Loop Voltage-Mode PWM Control Design  
• Fast PWM Converter Transient Response  
• Under and Overvoltage Monitoring on All Outputs  
• OCP on the Switching Regulator  
Switching memory core output between the PWM regulator  
and the standby LDO during state transitions is  
accomplished smoothly via the internal ACPI control  
circuitry. The NCH signal provides synchronized switching of  
a backfeed blocking switch during the transitions eliminating  
the need to route 5V Dual to the memory supply.  
• Integrated Thermal Shutdown Protection  
• QFN Package Option  
An integrated soft-start feature brings all outputs into  
regulation in a controlled manner when returning to S0/S1  
state from any sleep state. During S0 the PGOOD signal

Each output is monitored for under and overvoltage events.  
The switching regulator has overcurrent protection. Thermal  
shutdown is integrated.

Initialization  
NCH is an open-drain output that controls the MOSFET  
The ISL6532A automatically initializes upon receipt of input  
power. Special sequencing of the input supplies is not  
necessary. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually  
monitors the input bias supply voltages. The POR monitors

function initiates soft-start operation after the bias supply  
voltages exceed their POR thresholds.

states. A 2kΩ or larger resistor is to be tied between the 12V  
rail and the NCH pin. Until the voltage on the NCH pin  
reaches the NCH trip level, the PWM is disabled.  
If NCH is not actively utilized, it still must be tied to the 12V  
rail through a resistor. For systems using 5V dual as the  
input to the switching regulator, a time constant, in the form  
of a capacitor, can be added to the NCH pad to delay start of  
the PWM switcher until the 5V dual has switched from  
5VSBY to 5VATX.  
ACPI State Transitions  
COLD START (S4/S5 TO S0 TRANSITION)  
At the onset of a mechanical start, the ISL6532A receives it’s  
bias voltage from the 5V Standby bus (5VSBY). As soon as

Had the cause of the overcurrent still been present after the

and the regulator would be shut down again for another  
delay interval of three soft-start cycles. The resulting hiccup  
mode style of protection would continue to repeat indefinitely.  
Shoot-Through Protection  
A shoot-through condition occurs when both the upper and  
lower MOSFETs are turned on simultaneously, effectively  
shorting the input voltage to ground. To protect from a shoot-  
through condition, the ISL6532A incorporates specialized  
circuitry, which insures that complementary MOSFETs are  
not ON simultaneously.

Layout is very important in high frequency switching

converter design. With power devices switching efficiently at  
250kHz, the resulting current transitions from one device to  
another cause voltage spikes across the interconnecting  
impedances and parasitic circuit elements. These voltage  
spikes can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit,  
and lead to device overvoltage stress. Careful component  
layout and printed circuit board design minimizes these  
voltage spikes.

As an example, consider the turn-off transition of the control  
MOSFET. Prior to turn-off, the MOSFET is carrying the full  
load current. During turn-off, current stops flowing in the  
MOSFET and is picked up by the lower MOSFET. Any  
parasitic 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 traces minimizes the magnitude of voltage  
spikes.

An output capacitor is required to filter the inductor current  
and supply the load transient current. The filtering  
requirements are a function of the switching frequency and  
the ripple current. The load transient requirements are a  
function of the slew rate (di/dt) and the magnitude of the  
transient load current. These requirements are generally met

High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as

Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for  
switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The  
bulk capacitor’s ESR will determine the output ripple voltage  
and the initial voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient.  
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.  
Maximum bandwidth will be realized at full load while  
minimum bandwidth will be realized at no load. Bandwidth at  
no load will be maximized as τ becomes closer to 10μs.

The output capacitors used in LDO regulators are used to  
provide dynamic load current. The amount of capacitance  
and type of capacitor should be chosen with this criteria in  
mind.  
If the output voltage desired is 0.8V, simply route V  
back  
DDQ  
to the FB pin through R , but do not populate R .

The output voltage for the internal V linear regulator is set  
TT  
internal to the ISL6532A to track the V  
voltage by 50%.  
DDQ  
There is no need for external programming resistors.  
Output Inductor Selection  
The output inductor is selected to meet the output voltage  
ripple requirements and minimize the converter’s response  
time to the 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:  
As with the V PWM regulator, the AGP linear regulator  
output voltage is set by means of an external resistor divider  
as shown in Figure 7. For stability concerns described  
DDQ  
earlier, the recommended value of the feedback resistor, R ,

is 249Ω. The voltage programming resistor, R can be

ISL6532A  
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current  
and voltage. However, the large inductance values reduce  
the converter’s response time to a load transient.  
For a through hole design, several electrolytic capacitors  
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. Some capacitor series available from reputable  
manufacturers are surge current tested.  
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  
ISL6532A will provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in  
response to a load transient. The response time is the time  
required to slew the inductor current from an initial current  
value to the transient current level. During this interval the  
difference between the inductor current and the transient  
current level must be supplied by the output capacitor.  
Minimizing the response time can minimize the output  
capacitance required.  
MOSFET Selection - PWM Buck Converter  
The ISL6532A requires 2 N-Channel power MOSFETs for  
switching power and a third MOSFET to block backfeed from  
V
to the Input in S3 Mode. These should be selected  
DDQ  
based upon r  
, gate supply requirements, and thermal  
DS(ON)  
management requirements.  
In high-current applications, the MOSFET power dissipation,  
package selection and heatsink are the dominant design  
factors. The power dissipation includes two loss  
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:  
components; conduction loss and switching loss. The  
conduction losses are the largest component of power  
dissipation for both the upper and the lower MOSFETs.  
These losses are distributed between the two MOSFETs  
according to duty factor. The switching losses seen when  
sourcing current will be different from the switching losses  
seen when sinking current. When sourcing current, the  
upper MOSFET realizes most of the switching losses. The  
lower switch realizes most of the switching losses when the  
converter is sinking current (see the following equations).  
These equations assume linear voltage-current transitions  
and do not adequately model power loss due the reverse-  
recovery of the upper and lower MOSFET’s body diode. The  
gate-charge losses are dissipated in part by the ISL6532A  
and do not significantly heat the MOSFETs. However, large

response time can be either at the application or 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 Capacitor Selection - PWM Buck Converter  
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage  
overshoot across the MOSFETs. Use small ceramic  
capacitors for high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors  
to supply the current needed each time the upper MOSFET  
turns on. Place the small ceramic capacitors physically close  
to the MOSFETs and between the drain of upper MOSFET  
and the source of lower MOSFET.  
gate-charge increases the switching interval, t  
which  
SW  
increases the MOSFET 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 heatsink may be necessary depending upon  
MOSFET power, package type, ambient temperature and air  
flow.  
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitance are  
the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable  
operation, select bulk capacitors with voltage and current  
ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest RMS  
current required by the circuit. Their voltage rating should be  
at least 1.25 times greater than the maximum input voltage,  
while a voltage rating of 1.5 times is a conservative  
guideline. For most cases, the RMS current rating  
requirement for the input capacitor of a buck regulator is  
approximately 1/2 the DC load current.

The main criteria for selection of the linear regulator pass  
transistor is package selection for efficient removal of heat.

temperature below the rating with a maximum expected  
ambient temperature.
