The ISL6323 dual PWM controller delivers high efficiency
and tight regulation from two synchronous buck DC/DC
Features
• Processor Core Voltage Via Integrated MultiPhase
Power Conversion
converters. The ISL6323 supports hybrid power control of
AMD processors which operate from either a 6-bit parallel
VID interface (PVI) or a serial VID interface (SVI). The dual
output ISL6323 features a multiphase controller to support
uniplane VDD core voltage and a single phase controller to
power the Northbridge (VDDNB) in SVI mode. Only the
multiphase controller is active in PVI mode to support
uniplane VDD only processors.
• Configuration Flexibility
- 2-Phase Operation with Internal Drivers
- 3- or 4-Phase Operation with External PWM Drivers
• Serial VID Interface Inputs
- Two Wire, Clock and Data, Bus
- Conforms to AMD SVI Specifications
A precision uniplane core voltage regulation system is
provided by a 2- to 4-phase PWM voltage regulator (VR)
controller. The integration of two power MOSFET drivers,
adding flexibility in layout, reduce the number of external
components in the multiphase section. A single phase PWM
controller with integrated driver provides a second precision
voltage regulation system for the North Bridge portion of the
processor. This monolithic, dual controller with integrated
driver solution provides a cost and space saving power
management solution.
• Parallel VID Interface Inputs
- 6-bit VID input
- 0.775V to 1.55V in 25mV Steps
- 0.375V to 0.7625V in 12.5mV Steps
• Precision Core Voltage Regulation
- Differential Remote Voltage Sensing
- ±0.5% System Accuracy Over-Temperature
- Adjustable Reference-Voltage Offset
• Optimal Processor Core Voltage Transient Response
- Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA)
For applications which benefit from load line programming to
reduce bulk output capacitors, the ISL6323 features output
voltage droop. The multiphase portion also includes advanced
control loop features for optimal transient response to load
application and removal. One of these features is highly
accurate, fully differential, continuous DCR current sensing for
load line programming and channel current balance. Dual
edge modulation is another unique feature, allowing for
quicker initial response to high di/dt load transients.
- Active Pulse Positioning Modulation
• Fully Differential, Continuous DCR Current Sensing
- Accurate Load Line Programming
- Precision Channel Current Balancing
• Variable Gate Drive Bias: 5V to 12V
• Overcurrent Protection
• Multi-tiered Overvoltage Protection
• Selectable Switching Frequency up to 1MHz
• Simultaneous Digital Soft-Start of Both Outputs

DESCRIPTION
1, 48
FB_NB and
COMP_NB
These pins are the internal error amplifier inverting input and output respectively of the
NB VR controller. FB_NB, VDIFF_NB, and COMP_NB are tied together through external
R-C networks to compensate the regulator.
2, 47
ISEN_NB+,
ISEN_NB1-
These pins are used for differentially sensing the North Bridge output current. The
sensed current is used for protection and load line regulation if droop is enabled.
Connect ISEN_NB- to the node between the RC sense element surrounding the inductor.
Tie the ISEN_NB+ pin to the VNB side of the sense capacitor.
3
4
RGND_NB
This pin is an input to the NB VR controller precision differential remote-sense amplifier
and should be connected to the sense pin of the North Bridge, VDDNBFBL.
VID0/VFIXEN
If VID1 is LO prior to enable [SVI Mode], the pin functions as the VFIXEN selection input
from the AMD processor for determining SVI mode versus VFIX mode of operation.
If VID1 is HI prior to enable [PVI Mode], the pin is used as DAC input VID0. This pin has
an internal 30µA pull-down current applied to it at all times.
5
6
VID1/SEL
VID2/SVD
VID3/SVC
VID4, VID5
This pin selects SVI or PVI mode operation based on the state of the pin prior to enabling
the ISL6323. If the pin is LO prior to enable, the ISL6323 is in SVI mode and the dual
purpose pins [VID0/VFIXEN, VID2/SVC, VID3/SVD] use their SVI mode related
functions. If the pin held HI prior to enable, the ISL6323 is in PVI mode and dual purpose
pins use their VIDx related functions to decode the correct DAC code.
If VID1 is LO prior to enable [SVI Mode], this pin is the serial VID data bi-directional
signal to and from the master device on AMD processor. If VID1 is HI prior to enable [PVI
Mode], this pin is used to decode the programmed DAC code for the processor. In PVI
mode, this pin has an internal 30µA pull-down current applied to it. There is no pull-down
current in SVI mode.
7
If VID1 is LO prior to enable [SVI Mode], this pin is the serial VID clock input from the
AMD processor. If VID1 is HI prior to enable [PVI Mode], the ISL6323 is in PVI mode and
this pin is used to decode the programmed DAC code for the processor. In PVI mode, this
pin has an internal 30µA pull-down current applied to it. There is no pull-down current
in SVI mode.
8, 9
These pins are active only when the ISL6323 is in PVI mode. When VID1 is HI prior to
enable, the ISL6323 decodes the programmed DAC voltage required by the AMD
processor. These pins have an internal 30µA pull-down current applied to them at all
times.

VCC
FS
VCC is the bias supply for the ICs small-signal circuitry. Connect this pin to a +5V supply
and decouple using a quality 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
A resistor, placed from FS to Ground or from FS to VCC, sets the switching frequency of
both controllers. Refer to Equation 1 for proper resistor calculation.

14
RGND, VSEN
OFS
VSEN and RGND are inputs to the core voltage regulator (VR) controller precision
differential remote-sense amplifier and should be connected to the sense pins of the
remote processor core(s), VDDFB[H,L].
The OFS pin provides a means to program a DC current for generating an offset voltage
across the resistor between FB and VSEN The offset current is generated via an external
resistor and precision internal voltage references. The polarity of the offset is selected
by connecting the resistor to GND or VCC. For no offset, the OFS pin should be left
unconnected.
15
DVC
The DVC pin is a buffered version of the reference to the error amplifier. A series resistor
and capacitor between the DVC pin and FB pin smooth the voltage transition during
VID-on-the-fly operations.

RSET
Connect this pin to the VCC pin through a resistor (RSET) to set the effective value of
the internal RISEN current sense resistors. The values of the RSET resistor should be no
less than 20k and no more than 80k. A 0.1µF capacitor should be placed in parallel to
the RSET resistor.

FB, COMP
APA
These pins are the internal error amplifier inverting input and output respectively of the
core VR controller. FB, VSEN and COMP are tied together through external R-C networks
to compensate the regulator.
Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA) pin for setting trip level and adjusting time constant. A
100µA current flows into the APA pin and by tying a resistor from this pin to COMP the
trip level for the Adaptive Phase Alignment circuitry can be set.

ISEN1+, ISEN1-,
ISEN2+, ISEN2-,
ISEN3-, ISEN3+,
ISEN4-, ISEN4+
These pins are used for differentially sensing the corresponding channel output currents.
The sensed currents are used for channel balancing, protection, and core load line
regulation.
Connect ISEN1-, ISEN2-, ISEN3-, and ISEN4- to the node between the RC sense
elements surrounding the inductor of their respective channel. Tie the ISEN+ pins to the
VCORE side of their corresponding channel’s sense capacitor.
24
EN
This pin is a threshold-sensitive (approximately 0.85V) system enable input for the
controller. Held low, this pin disables both CORE and NB controller operation. Pulled high,
the pin enables both controllers for operation.
When the EN pin is pulled high, the ISL6323 will be placed in either SVI or PVI mode.
The mode is determined by the latched value of VID1 on the rising edge of the EN signal.
A third function of this pin is to provide driver bias monitor for external drivers. A resistor
divider with the center tap connected to this pin from the drive bias supply prevents
enabling the controller before insufficient bias is provided to external driver. The resistors
should be selected such that when the POR-trip point of the external driver is reached,
the voltage at this pin meets the above mentioned threshold level.

PHASE2 and PHASE1 Connect these pins to the sources of the corresponding upper MOSFETs. These pins are
the return path for the upper MOSFET drives.
UGATE2 and UGATE1 Connect these pins to the corresponding upper MOSFET gates. These pins are used to
control the upper MOSFETs and are monitored for shoot-through prevention purposes.
Maximum individual channel duty cycle is limited to 93.3%.
27, 31
BOOT2 and BOOT1 These pins provide the bias voltage for the corresponding upper MOSFET drives. Connect
these pins to appropriately chosen external bootstrap capacitors. Internal bootstrap
diodes connected to the PVCC1_2 pin provide the necessary bootstrap charge.
28, 30
29
LGATE2 and LGATE1 These pins are used to control the lower MOSFETs. Connect these pins to the
corresponding lower MOSFETs’ gates.
PVCC1_2
The power supply pin for the multi-phase internal MOSFET drivers. Connect this pin to
any voltage from +5V to +12V depending on the desired MOSFET gate-drive level.
Decouple this pin with a quality 1.0µF ceramic capacitor.
34
PWROK
System wide Power-Good signal. If this pin is low, the two SVI bits are decoded to
determine the “metal VID”. When the pin is high, the SVI is actively running its protocol.
35, 36
PWM3 and PWM4
Pulse-width modulation outputs. Connect these pins to the PWM input pins of an Intersil
driver IC if 3- or 4-phase operation is desired. Connect the ISEN- pins of the channels
not desired to +5V to disable them and configure the core VR controller for 2-phase or
3-phase operation.
37
38
VDDPWRGD
PHASE_NB
During normal operation this pin indicates whether both output voltages are within
specified overvoltage and undervoltage limits. If either output voltage exceeds these
limits or a reset event occurs (such as an overcurrent event), the pin is pulled low. This
pin is always low prior to the end of soft-start.
Connect this pin to the source of the corresponding upper MOSFET. This pin is the return
path for the upper MOSFET drive. This pin is used to monitor the voltage drop across the
upper MOSFET for overcurrent protection.

proportional to the number of channels. Output voltage ripple is
a function of capacitance, capacitor equivalent series
resistance (ESR), and inductor ripple current. Reducing the
inductor ripple current allows the designer to use fewer or less
costly output capacitors.
Operation
The ISL6323 utilizes a multiphase architecture to provide a low
cost, space saving power conversion solution for the processor
core voltage. The controller also implements a simple single
phase architecture to provide the Northbridge voltage on the
same chip.

Multiphase Power Conversion
Another benefit of interleaving is to reduce input ripple current.
Input capacitance is determined in part by the maximum input
ripple current. Multiphase topologies can improve overall
system cost and size by lowering input ripple current and
allowing the designer to reduce the cost of input capacitance.
The example in Figure 2 illustrates input currents from a 3-
phase converter combining to reduce the total input ripple
current.
Microprocessor load current profiles have changed to the point
that the advantages of multiphase power conversion are
impossible to ignore. The technical challenges associated with
producing a single-phase converter that is both cost-effective
and thermally viable have forced a change to the cost-saving
approach of multiphase. The ISL6323 controller helps simplify
implementation by integrating vital functions and requiring
minimal external components. The “Controller Block Diagram”
on page 6 provides a top level view of the multiphase power
conversion using the ISL6323 controller.
The converter depicted in Figure 2 delivers 1.5V to a 36A load
from a 12V input. The RMS input capacitor current is 5.9A.
Compare this to a single-phase converter also stepping down
Interleaving
12V to 1.5V at 36A. The single-phase converter has 11.9A
RMS
input capacitor current. The single-phase converter must use an
input capacitor bank with twice the RMS current capacity as the
equivalent 3-phase converter.
The switching of each channel in a multiphase converter is timed
to be symmetrically out-of-phase with each of the other channels.
In a 3-phase converter, each channel switches 1/3 cycle after the
previous channel and 1/3 cycle before the following channel. As a
result, the 3-phase converter has a combined ripple frequency 3x
greater than the ripple frequency of any one phase. In addition,
the peak-to-peak amplitude of the combined inductor currents is
reduced in proportion to the number of phases (Equations 2 and
3). Increased ripple frequency and lower ripple amplitude mean
that the designer can use less per-channel inductance and lower
total output capacitance for any performance specification.
Figures 25, 26 and 27 in the section entitled “Input Capacitor
Selection” on page 32 can be used to determine the input
capacitor RMS current based on load current, duty cycle, and
the number of channels. They are provided as aids in
determining the optimal input capacitor solution.
IL1 + IL2 + IL3, 7A/DIV
IL3, 7A/DIV
Figure 1 illustrates the multiplicative effect on output ripple
frequency. The 3-channel currents (IL1, IL2, and IL3) combine
to form the AC ripple current and the DC load current. The
ripple component has 3x the ripple frequency of each
individual channel current. Each PWM pulse is terminated 1/3
of a cycle after the PWM pulse of the previous phase. The peak-
to-peak current for each phase is about 7A, and the DC
components of the inductor currents combine to feed the load.

To further improve the transient response, ISL6323 also
implements Intersil’s proprietary Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA)
technique, which turns on all phases together under transient
events with large step current. With both APP and APA control,
ISL6323 can achieve excellent transient performance and reduce
the demand on the output capacitors.

To further improve the transient response, the ISL6323 also

the same time during large current step transient events. As
Figure 3 shows, the APA circuitry works by monitoring the
voltage on the APA pin and comparing it to a filtered copy of
the voltage on the COMP pin. The voltage on the APA pin is a
copy of the COMP pin voltage that has been negatively offset.
If the APA pin exceeds the filtered COMP pin voltage an APA
event occurs and all of the channels are forced on.

Active Pulse Positioning Modulated PWM Operation
ISL6323 INTERNAL CIRCUIT
EXTERNAL CIRCUIT
The ISL6323 uses a proprietary Active Pulse Positioning (APP)
modulation scheme to control the internal PWM signals that
command each channel’s driver to turn their upper and lower
MOSFETs on and off. The time interval in which a PWM signal
can occur is generated by an internal clock, whose cycle time is
the inverse of the switching frequency set by the resistor between
the FS pin and ground. The advantage of Intersil’s proprietary
Active Pulse Positioning (APP) modulator is that the PWM signal
has the ability to turn on at any point during this PWM time
interval, and turn off immediately after the PWM signal has
transitioned high. This is important because it allows the controller
to quickly respond to output voltage drops associated with current
load spikes, while avoiding the ring back affects associated with
other modulation schemes.

The timing of each core channel is set by the number of active

During each PWM time interval the PWM signal can only

VID Interface
The ISL6323 supports hybrid power control of AMD processors
which operate from either a 6-bit parallel VID interface (PVI) or
a serial VID interface (SVI). The VID1/SEL pin is used to
command the ISL6323 into either the PVI mode or the SVI
mode. Whenever the EN pin is held LOW, both the multiphase
Core and single-phase North Bridge Regulators are disabled
and the ISL6323 is continuously sampling voltage on the
VID1/SEL pin. When the EN pin is toggled HIGH, the status of
the VID1/SEL pin will latch the ISL6323 into either PVI or SVI
mode. This latching occurs on the rising edge of the EN
signal.If the VID1/SEL pin is held LOW during the latch, the
ISL6323 will be placed into SVI mode. If the VID1/SEL pin is
held HIGH during the latch, the ISL6323 will be placed into PVI
mode. For the ISL6323 to properly enter into either mode, the
level on the VID1/SEL pin must be stable no less that 1µs prior
to the EN signal transitioning from low to high.

multiple devices and greater area. By doing this the designer
avoids the complexity of driving parallel MOSFETs and the
expense of using expensive heat sinks and exotic magnetic
materials.

In order to realize the thermal advantage, it is important that
each channel in a multiphase converter be controlled to carry
about the same amount of current at any load level. To achieve
this, the currents through each channel must be sampled every
switching cycle. The sampled currents, I , from each active
channel are summed together and divided by the number of

The on-board Serial VID interface (SVI) circuitry allows the
processor to directly drive the core voltage and Northbridge
voltage reference level within the ISL6323. The SVC and SVD
states are decoded with direction from the PWROK and VFIXEN
inputs as described in the following sections. The ISL6323 uses a
digital to analog converter (DAC) to generate a reference voltage
based on the decoded SVI value. See Figure 7 for a simple SVI
interface timing diagram.

target value and this results in a controlled ramp of the power
planes. Once soft-start has ended and both output planes are
within regulation limits, the VDDPWRGD pin transitions high. If
the EN input falls below the enable falling threshold, then the
controller ramps both VDD and VDDNB down to near zero.
Typical motherboard start-up occurs with the VFIXEN input
low. The controller decodes the SVC and SVD inputs to
determine the Pre-PWROK metal VID setting. Once the POR
circuitry is satisfied, the ISL6323 begins decoding the inputs
per Table 2. Once the EN input exceeds the rising enable
threshold, the ISL6323 saves the Pre-PWROK metal VID value
in an on-board holding register and passes this target to the
internal DAC circuitry.

SVI MODE
Once the controller has successfully soft-started and
VDDPWRGD transitions high, the Northbridge SVI interface
can assert PWROK to signal the ISL6323 to prepare for SVI
commands. The controller actively monitors the SVI interface
for set VID commands to move the plane voltages to start-up
VID values. Details of the SVI Bus protocol are provided in the
AMD Design Guide for Voltage Regulator Controllers
Accepting Serial VID Codes specification.
The Pre-PWROK metal VID code is decoded and latched on
the rising edge of the enable signal. Once enabled, the
ISL6323 passes the Pre-PWROK metal VID code on to internal
DAC circuitry. The internal DAC circuitry begins to ramp both
the VDD and VDDNB planes to the decoded Pre-PWROK
metal VID output level. The digital soft-start circuitry actually
stair steps the internal reference to the target gradually over a
fix interval. The controlled ramp of both output voltage planes
reduces in-rush current during the soft-start interval. At the end
of the soft-start interval, the VDDPWRGD output transitions
high indicating both output planes are within regulation limits.
Once the set VID command is received, the ISL6323 decodes
the information to determine which plane and the VID target
required. See Table 4. The internal DAC circuitry steps the
required output plane voltage to the new VID level. During this
time one or both of the planes could be targeted. In the event
the core voltage plane, VDD, is commanded to power off by
serial VID commands, the VDDPWRGD signal remains
asserted. The Northbridge voltage plane must remain active
during this time.
If the EN input falls below the enable falling threshold, the
ISL6323 ramps the internal reference voltage down to near
zero. The VDDPWRGD de-asserts with the loss of enable. The
VDD and VDDNB planes will linearly decrease to near zero.
If the PWROK input is de-asserted, then the controller steps
both VDD and VDDNB planes back to the stored Pre-PWROK
metal VID level in the holding register from initial soft-start. No
attempt is made to read the SVC and SVD inputs during this
time. If PWROK is reasserted, then the on-board SVI interface
waits for a set VID command.
VFIX MODE
In VFIX Mode, the SVC, SVD and VFIXEN inputs are fixed
external to the controller through jumpers to either GND or
VDDIO. These inputs are not expected to change, but the
ISL6323 is designed to support the potential change of state of
these inputs. If VFIXEN is high, the IC decodes the SVC and
SVD states per Table 3.
If VDDPWRGD deasserts during normal operation, both
voltage planes are powered down in a controlled fashion. The
internal DAC circuitry stair steps both outputs down to near
zero.
Once enabled, the ISL6323 begins to soft-start both VDD and
VDDNB planes to the programmed VFIX level. The internal
soft-start circuitry slowly stair steps the reference up to the

The ISL6323 incorporates differential remote-sense
Voltage Regulation
amplification in the feedback path. The differential sensing
removes the voltage error encountered when measuring the
output voltage relative to the controller ground reference point
resulting in a more accurate means of sensing output voltage.
The integrating compensation network shown in Figure 8
insures that the steady-state error in the output voltage is
limited only to the error in the reference voltage and offset
errors in the OFS current source, remote-sense and error
amplifiers. Intersil specifies the guaranteed tolerance of the
ISL6323 to include the combined tolerances of each of these
elements.
The output of the error amplifier, V
, is used by the
COMP
modulator to generate the PWM signals. The PWM signals
control the timing of the Internal MOSFET drivers and regulate
the converter output so that the voltage at FB is equal to the
voltage at REF. This will regulate the output voltage to be equal
to Equation 11. The internal and external circuitry that controls
voltage regulation is illustrated in Figure 8.

This VID-on-the-fly compensation network works by sourcing
AC current into the FB node to offset the effects of the AC
current flowing from the FB to the COMP pin during a VID
transition. To create this compensation current the ISL6323
sets the voltage on the DVC pin to be 2x the voltage on the
REF pin. Since the error amplifier forces the voltage on the FB
pin and the REF pin to be equal, the resulting voltage across

The AMD processor does not step the output voltage
commands up or down to the target voltage, but instead
passes only the target voltage to the ISL6323 through either
the PVI or SVI interface. The ISL6323 manages the resulting
VID-on-the-Fly transition in a controlled manner, supervising a
safe output voltage transition without discontinuity or
disruption. The ISL6323 begins slewing the DAC at 3.25mV/µs
until the DAC and target voltage are equal. Thus, the total time
required for a dynamic VID transition is dependent only on the
size of the DAC change.
The amount of compensation current required is dependant on
the modulator gain of the system, K1, and the error amplifier

UGATE is released after 35ns delay of the LGATE dropping below
0.5V. When LGATE first begins to transition low, this quick
transition can disturb the PHASE node and cause a false trip, so
there is 20ns of blanking time once LGATE falls until PHASE is
monitored.
The bias voltage applied to the PVCC1_2 and PVCC_NB pins
power the internal MOSFET drivers of each output channel. In
order for the ISL6323 to begin operation, both PVCC inputs
must exceed their POR rising threshold to guarantee proper
operation of the internal drivers. Hysteresis between the rising
and falling thresholds assure that once enabled, the ISL6323
will not inadvertently turn off unless the PVCC bias voltage
drops substantially (see “Electrical Specifications” on page 9).
Depending on the number of active CORE channels
Once the PHASE is high, the advanced adaptive
shoot-through circuitry monitors the PHASE and UGATE
voltages during a PWM falling edge and the subsequent
UGATE turn-off. If either the UGATE falls to less than 1.75V
above the PHASE or the PHASE falls to less than +0.8V, the
LGATE is released to turn-on.

checking is supported by the Enable Comparator.
Initialization
Enable Comparator
Prior to initialization, proper conditions must exist on the EN,
VCC, PVCC1_2, PVCC_NB, ISEN3-, and ISEN4- pins. When
the conditions are met, the controller begins soft-start. Once the
output voltage is within the proper window of operation, the
controller asserts VDDPWRGD.
The ISL6323 features a dual function enable input (EN) for
enabling the controller and power sequencing between the
controller and external drivers or another voltage rail. The
enable comparator holds the ISL6323 in shutdown until the
voltage at EN rises above 0.86V. The enable comparator has
about 110mV of hysteresis to prevent bounce. It is important
that the driver ICs reach their rising POR level before the
ISL6323 becomes enabled. The schematic in Figure 12
demonstrates sequencing the ISL6323 with the ISL66xx family
of Intersil MOSFET drivers, which require 12V bias.

the equivalent internal ramping reference voltage, the output
drives hold both MOSFETs off.
Soft-Start Output Voltage Targets
Once the POR and Phase Detect blocks and enable
comparator are satisfied, the controller will begin the soft-start
sequence and will ramp the CORE and NB output voltages up
to the SVI interface designated target level if the controller is
set SVI mode. If set to PVI mode, the North Bridge regulator is
disabled and the core is soft started to the level designated by
the parallel VID code.
Once the internal ramping reference exceeds the FB pin
potential, the output drives are enabled, allowing the output to
ramp from the pre-charged level to the final level dictated by the
DAC setting. Should the output be pre-charged to a level
exceeding the DAC setting, the output drives are enabled at the
end of the soft-start period, leading to an abrupt correction in the
output voltage down to the DAC-set level.
SVI MODE
Prior to soft-starting both CORE and NB outputs, the ISL6323
must check the state of the SVI interface inputs to determine
the correct target voltages for both outputs. When the

The soft-start sequence is composed of three periods, as

by decoding the state of the SVI or PVI inputs. A 100µs fixed
delay time, TDA, proceeds the output voltage rise. After this
delay period the ISL6323 will begin ramping both CORE and
NB output voltages to the programmed DAC level at a fixed
rate of 3.25mV/µs. The amount of time required to ramp the

Overvoltage Protection
The ISL6323 constantly monitors the sensed output voltage on
the VSEN pin to detect if an overvoltage event occurs. When the
output voltage rises above the OVP trip level and exceeds the
VDDPWRGD OV limit actions are taken by the ISL6323 to
protect the microprocessor load.

At the inception of an overvoltage event, both on-board lower
gate pins are commanded low as are the active PWM outputs
to the external drivers, the VDDPWRGD signal is driven low,
and the ISL6323 latches off normal PWM action. This turns on
the all of the lower MOSFETs and pulls the output voltage
below a level that might cause damage to the load. The lower
MOSFETs remain driven ON until VDIFF falls below 400mV.
The ISL6323 will continue to protect the load in this fashion as
long as the overvoltage condition recurs. Once an overvoltage
condition ends the ISL6323 latches off, and must be reset by
toggling POR, before a soft-start can be re-initiated.

Prior to PVCC and VCC exceeding their POR levels, the

means of an internal 10k resistor tied from PHASE to LGATE,
which turns on the lower MOSFET to control the output voltage
until the overvoltage event ceases or the input power supply
cuts off. For complete protection, the low side MOSFET should
have a gate threshold well below the maximum voltage rating

Fault Monitoring and Protection
In the event that during normal operation the PVCC or VCC
voltage falls back below the POR threshold, the pre-POR
overvoltage protection circuitry reactivates to protect from any
more pre-POR overvoltage events.
The ISL6323 actively monitors both CORE and NB output
voltages and currents to detect fault conditions. Fault monitors
trigger protective measures to prevent damage to either load.
One common power good indicator is provided for linking to
external system monitors. The schematic in Figure 15 outlines
the interaction between the fault monitors and the power good
signal.
Undervoltage Detection
The undervoltage threshold is set at VDAC - 300mV typical.
When the output voltage (VSEN-RGND) is below the
undervoltage threshold, VDDPWRGD gets pulled low. No other
action is taken by the controller. VDDPWRGD will return high if
the output voltage rises above VDAC - 250mV typical.
Power-Good Signal
The power-good pin (VDDPWRGD) is an open-drain logic
output that signals whether or not the ISL6323 is regulating
both NB and CORE output voltages within the proper levels,
and whether any fault conditions exist. This pin should be tied
to a +5V source through a resistor.
Open Sense Line Protection
In the case that either of the remote sense lines, VSEN or
GND, become open, the ISL6323 is designed to detect this
and shut down the controller. This event is detected by
monitoring small currents that are fed out the VSEN and
RGND pins. In the event of an open sense line fault, the
controller will continue to remain off until the fault goes away, at
which point the controller will re-initiate a soft-start sequence.
During shutdown and soft-start, VDDPWRGD pulls low and
releases high after a successful soft-start and both output
voltages are operating between the undervoltage and
overvoltage limits. VDDPWRGD transitions low when an
undervoltage, overvoltage, or overcurrent condition is detected
on either output or when the controller is disabled by a POR
reset or EN. In the event of an overvoltage or overcurrent
condition, the controller latches off and VDDPWRGD will not
return high. Pending a POR reset of the ISL6323 and
successful soft-start, the VDDPWRGD will return high.
Overcurrent Protection
The ISL6323 takes advantage of the proportionality between
the load current and the average current, I
, to detect an
AVG
overcurrent condition. See “Continuous Current Sampling” on
page 14 and “Channel-Current Balance” on page 15 for more
detail on how the average current is measured. Once the
average current exceeds 100µA, a comparator triggers the

converter to begin overcurrent protection procedures. The
Core regulator and the North Bridge regulator have the same
type of overcurrent protection.
Note that the energy delivered during trip-retry cycling is much
less than during full-load operation, so there is no thermal
hazard.
The overcurrent trip threshold is dictated by the DCR of the
inductors, the number of active channels, the DC gain of the

FIGURE 16. OVERCURRENT BEHAVIOR IN HICCUP MODE
Equation 20 is valid for both the Core regulator and the North
Bridge regulator. This equation includes the DC load current as
well as the total ripple current contributed by all the phases.
For the North Bridge regulator, N is 1.
NORTH BRIDGE REGULATOR OVERCURRENT
The overcurrent shutdown sequence for the North Bridge
regulator is identical to the Core regulator with the exception that
it is a single phase regulator and will only disable the MOSFET
drivers for the North Bridge. Once 7 retry attempts have been
executed unsuccessfully, the controller will disable UGATE and
LGATE signals for both Core and North Bridge and will latch off
requiring a POR of VCC to reset the ISL6323.
During soft-start, the overcurrent trip point is boosted by a
factor of 1.4. Instead of comparing the average measured
current to 100µA, the average current is compared to 140µA.
Immediately after soft-start is over, the comparison level
changes to 100µA. This is done to allow for start-up into an
active load while still supplying output capacitor in-rush
current.
Note that the energy delivered during trip-retry cycling is much
less than during full-load operation, so there is no thermal
hazard.
CORE REGULATOR OVERCURRENT
At the beginning of overcurrent shutdown, the controller sets all
of the UGATE and LGATE signals low, puts PWM3 and PWM4
(if active) in a high-impedance state, and forces VDDPWRGD
low. This turns off all of the upper and lower MOSFETs. The
system remains in this state for fixed period of 12ms. If the
controller is still enabled at the end of this wait period, it will
attempt a soft-start, as shown in Figure 16. If the fault remains,
the trip-retry cycles will continue until either the fault is cleared or
for a total of seven attempts. If the fault is not cleared on the final
attempt, the controller disables UGATE and LGATE signals for
both Core and North Bridge and latches off requiring a POR of
VCC to reset the ISL6323.
Individual Channel Overcurrent Limiting
The ISL6323 has the ability to limit the current in each
individual channel of the Core regulator without shutting down
the entire regulator. This is accomplished by continuously
comparing the sensed currents of each channel with a
constant 140µA OCL reference current. If a channel’s
individual sensed current exceeds this OCL limit, the UGATE
signal of that channel is immediately forced low, and the
LGATE signal is forced high. This turns off the upper
MOSFET(s), turns on the lower MOSFET(s), and stops the rise
of current in that channel, forcing the current in the channel to
decrease. That channel’s UGATE signal will not be able to
return high until the sensed channel current falls back below
the 140µA reference.
It is important to note that during soft start, the overcurrent trip
point is increased by a factor of 1.4. If the fault draws enough
current to trip overcurrent during normal run mode, it may not
draw enough current during the soft-start ramp period to trip
overcurrent while the output is ramping up. If a fault of this type
is affecting the output, then the regulator will complete soft-
start and the trip-retry counter will be reset to zero. Once the
regulator has completed soft-start, the overcurrent trip point will
return to it’s nominal setting and an overcurrent shutdown will
be initiated. This will result in a continuous hiccup mode.
Exclusive Operation in Parallel Mode
The ISL6323 was designed such that the processor would be
the determining factor of whether the ISL6323 operated in PVI
mode or in SVI mode. If, however, the ISL6323 is to be used in
a system that will be used exclusively in parallel mode and the
North Bridge regulator will not be populated at all, there are
some pin connections that must be made in order for the
ISL6323 to function properly. The ISEN_NB+ (pin 2) and
ISEN_NB- (pin 47) pins as well as the RGND_NB pin (pin 3)

Power Stages
The first step in designing a multiphase converter is to
determine the number of phases. This determination depends
heavily on the cost analysis which in turn depends on system
constraints that differ from one design to the next. Principally,
the designer will be concerned with whether components can
be mounted on both sides of the circuit board, whether
through-hole components are permitted, the total board space
available for power-supply circuitry, and the maximum amount
of load current. Generally speaking, the most economical
solutions are those in which each phase handles between 25A
and 30A. All surface-mount designs will tend toward the lower
end of this current range. If through-hole MOSFETs and
inductors can be used, higher per-phase currents are possible.
In cases where board space is the limiting constraint, current
can be pushed as high as 40A per phase, but these designs
require heat sinks and forced air to cool the MOSFETs,
inductors and heat dissipating surfaces.

When the upper MOSFET turns off, the lower MOSFET does

assume the full inductor current. In Equation 23, the required

dissipation for the QFN package.
Calculating the power dissipation in the drivers for a desired
application is critical to ensure safe operation. Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation level will push the IC
beyond the maximum recommended operating junction
temperature of +125°C. The maximum allowable IC power
dissipation for the 7x7 QFN package is approximately 3.5W at
room temperature. See “Layout Considerations” on page 33 for
thermal transfer improvement suggestions.
Internal Bootstrap Device
All three integrated drivers feature an internal bootstrap
Schottky diode. Simply adding an external capacitor across the
BOOT and PHASE pins completes the bootstrap circuit. The
bootstrap function is also designed to prevent the bootstrap
capacitor from overcharging due to the large negative swing at
the PHASE node. This reduces voltage stress on the boot to
phase pins.
When designing the ISL6323 into an application, it is
recommended that the following calculations is used to ensure

Compensation With Loadline Regulation
The load-line regulated converter behaves in a similar manner
to a peak current mode controller because the two poles at the
output filter L-C resonant frequency split with the introduction
of current information into the control loop. The final location of
these poles is determined by the system function, the gain of
the current signal, and the value of the compensation

Since the system poles and zero are affected by the values of
the components that are meant to compensate them, the
solution to the system equation becomes fairly complicated.
Fortunately, there is a simple approximation that comes very
close to an optimal solution. Treating the system as though it
were a voltage-mode regulator, by compensating the L-C poles
and the ESR zero of the voltage mode approximation, yields a
solution that is always stable with very close to ideal transient
performance.

At the beginning of the load transient, the output capacitors
supply all of the transient current. The output voltage will
initially deviate by an amount approximated by the voltage drop
across the ESL. As the load current increases, the voltage
drop across the ESR increases linearly until the load current
reaches its final value. The capacitors selected must have
sufficiently low ESL and ESR so that the total output voltage
deviation is less than the allowable maximum. Neglecting the
contribution of inductor current and regulator response, the
output voltage initially deviates by an amount as shown in
Equation 54:
In the solutions to the compensation equations, there is a

Most capacitor solutions rely on a mixture of high frequency
capacitors with relatively low capacitance in combination with
bulk capacitors having high capacitance but limited high-
frequency performance. Minimizing the ESL of the high-

capacitors allows them to supply the increased current with
less output voltage deviation.

Switching Frequency
There are a number of variables to consider when choosing
the switching frequency, as there are considerable effects on
the upper MOSFET loss calculation. These effects are outlined
in “MOSFETs” on page 25, and they establish the upper limit
for the switching frequency. The lower limit is established by
the requirement for fast transient response and small output-
voltage ripple as outlined in “Output Filter Design” on page 31.
Choose the lowest switching frequency that allows the
regulator to meet the transient-response requirements.
For a 4-phase design, use Figure 25 to determine the input-
capacitor RMS current requirement set by the duty cycle,
maximum sustained output current (I ), and the ratio of the
O
peak-to-peak inductor current (I
) to I . Select a bulk
L(P-P)
O
capacitor with a ripple current rating which will minimize the
total number of input capacitors required to support the RMS
current calculated.
The voltage rating of the capacitors should also be at least
1.25x greater than the maximum input voltage. Figures 26 and
27 provide the same input RMS current information for
3-phase and 2-phase designs respectively. Use the same
approach for selecting the bulk capacitor type and number.
Switching frequency is determined by the selection of the
frequency-setting resistor, R . Figure 24 and Equation 58 are

Low capacitance, high-frequency ceramic capacitors are
needed in addition to the input bulk capacitors to suppress
leading and falling edge voltage spikes. The spikes result from
the high current slew rate produced by the upper MOSFET turn

close as possible to each upper MOSFET drain to minimize
board parasitics and maximize suppression.

The power components should be placed first, which include the
MOSFETs, input and output capacitors, and the inductors. It is
important to have a symmetrical layout for each power train,
preferably with the controller located equidistant from each.
Symmetrical layout allows heat to be dissipated equally across
all power trains. Equidistant placement of the controller to the
CORE and NB power trains it controls through the integrated
drivers helps keep the gate drive traces equally short, resulting
in equal trace impedances and similar drive capability of all sets
of MOSFETs.

Locate the output inductors and output capacitors between the

capacitors (ceramic) should be placed as close as practicable to
the decoupling target, making use of the shortest connection

Layout Considerations
MOSFETs switch very fast 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. These voltage spikes can degrade efficiency,
radiate noise into the circuit and lead to device overvoltage stress.
Careful component selection, layout, and placement minimizes
these voltage spikes. Consider, as an example, the turnoff
transition of the upper PWM MOSFET. Prior to turnoff, the upper
MOSFET was carrying channel current. During the turn-off,
current stops flowing in the upper MOSFET and is picked up by
the lower MOSFET. 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.
A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure 27
shows the connections of the critical components for the
converter. Note that capacitors C and C
could each

represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid layer,
usually the one underneath the component side of the board, 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. Keep the metal runs from the PHASE terminal to output
inductors short. 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. Use the remaining
printed circuit layers for small signal wiring.
There are two sets of critical components in a DC/DC converter
using a ISL6323 controller. The power components are the most

Routing UGATE, LGATE, and PHASE Traces
Great attention should be paid to routing the UGATE, LGATE,
and PHASE traces since they drive the power train MOSFETs
using short, high current pulses. It is important to size them as
large and as short as possible to reduce their overall
impedance and inductance. They should be sized to carry at
least one ampere of current (0.02” to 0.05”). Going between
layers with vias should also be avoided, but if so, use two vias
for interconnection when possible.
Extra care should be given to the LGATE traces in particular
since keeping their impedance and inductance low helps to
significantly reduce the possibility of shoot-through. It is also
important to route each channels UGATE and PHASE traces
in as close proximity as possible to reduce their inductances.
Current Sense Component Placement and Trace
Routing
One of the most critical aspects of the ISL6323 regulator
layout is the placement of the inductor DCR current sense
components and traces. The R-C current sense components
must be placed as close to their respective ISEN+ and
ISEN- pins on the ISL6323 as possible.
The sense traces that connect the R-C sense components to
each side of the output inductors should be routed on the
bottom of the board, away from the noisy switching
components located on the top of the board. These traces
should be routed side by side, and they should be very thin
traces. It’s important to route these traces as far away from
any other noisy traces or planes as possible. These traces
should pick up as little noise as possible.
Thermal Management
For maximum thermal performance in high current, high
switching frequency applications, connecting the thermal GND
pad of the ISL6323 to the ground plane with multiple vias is
recommended. This heat spreading allows the part to achieve
its full thermal potential. It is also recommended that the
controller be placed in a direct path of airflow if possible to help
thermally manage the part.
