Dual Regulator–Synchronous Rectified
Buck PWM and Linear Power Controller
Features
• Provides two regulated voltages
The ISL6529A provides the power control and protection for
two output voltages in high-performance graphics cards and
other embedded processor applications. The dual-output
controller drives two N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous
rectified buck converter topology and one N-Channel
MOSFET in a linear configuration. The ISL6529A provides
both a regulated high current, low voltage supply and an
independent, lower current supply integrated in an 14-lead
SOIC package. The controller is ideal for graphic card
applications where regulation of both the graphics
- One synchronous rectified buck PWM controller
- One linear controller
• Both controllers drive low cost N-Channel MOSFETs
• 12V direct drive saves external components
• Small converter size
- 600kHz constant frequency operation
- Small external component count
• Excellent output voltage regulation
processing unit (GPU) and memory supplies is required.
- Both outputs: ±1% over temperature - ISL6529AC
- Both outputs: ±2% over temperature - ISL6529C
The synchronous rectified buck converter incorporates
simple, single feedback loop, voltage-mode control with fast
transient response. Both the switching regulator and linear
regulator provide a maximum static regulation tolerance of
±1% over line, load, and temperature ranges for the
ISL6529AC and ±2% for the ISL6529C. Each output is user-
adjustable by means of external resistors.
• 5V down conversion
• PWM and linear output voltage range: down to 0.8V
• Simple single-loop voltage-mode PWM control design
• Fast PWM converter transient response
- High-bandwidth error amplifier
- Full 0–100% duty ratio
An integrated soft-start feature brings both supplies into
regulation in a controlled manner. Each output is monitored
via the FB pins for undervoltage events. If either output drops
below 51.5% of the nominal output level, both converters are
shutdown.
• Linear controller drives N-Channel MOSFET pass transistor
• Fully-adjustable outputs
• Undervoltage fault monitoring on both outputs

sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin
plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and compatible
with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free
products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that
meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
