ACPI Regulator/Controller for Dual Channel DDR Memory Systems
The ISL6537 provides a complete ACPI compliant power
solution for up to 4 DIMM dual channel DDR/DDR2 Memory
Features
• Generates 4 Regulated Voltages

• Glitch-free Transitions During State Changes
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. The switching
regulator provides 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
• Fully-Adjustable Outputs with Wide Voltage Range: Down
to 0.8V supports DDR and DDR2 Specifications
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 VIDPGD signal
• 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
indicates that the GMCH and CPU V termination voltage

is within spec and operational.
Each output is monitored for undervoltage events. The
switching regulator also has overvoltage and overcurrent
protection. Thermal shutdown is integrated.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material 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.
