SAM (Supervisor And Monitor)
Features
The ISL6550 is a precision, flexible, VID-code-controlled
reference and voltage monitor for high-end microprocessor
and memory power supplies. It monitors various input
signals, and supervises the system (typically a DC/DC
converter) with its output signals. See the Block Diagram for
reference.
• 12V supply operation
• 5V reference output
• 5-bit digital-to-analog converter
• Programmable DAC Range, within 0.8–5.0V
• Programmable undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds,
and latched fault detection
The ISL6550 includes a 5-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog
Converter), which is programmed by the five VID inputs. The
voltage range of the BDAC (Buffered DAC output) is
determined by the DACHI and DACLO voltage levels, which
are externally adjustable through the R1, R2, R3 resistor
divider network.VREF5 is a precision-trimmed 5V reference,
and is used to set the voltage at the top of the resistor
divider.
• Optional delayed undervoltage (programmable with
external capacitor)
• Undervoltage lockout (power-on-reset)
• Status Indicators (START, PGOOD)
• Uncommitted operational amplifier
• Compatible with ISL6551 full bridge controller
• 20 pin SOIC and 20 lead MLFP (5x5) packages
Programmable window comparators monitor Over-Voltage
(OV) and Under-Voltage (UV) levels. The OVUVSEN input,
usually coming from the associated power converter device
is monitored and compared with BDAC; an error band is
established via the R4 and R5 resistor setting on the
OVUVTH pin. An optional external capacitor on the UVDLY
pin gives a programmable delay on the UV. A high gain
operational amplifier is available at pins VOPP, VOPM, and
VOPOUT; it can be used as a gain stage to permit
Applications
• Power Supplies for High End Microprocessors and Servers
• Can be paired with the ISL6551 FBC for a complete full-
bridge 48V-input converter, or used independently
monitoring voltages that are different from the BDAC levels.
Ordering Information
The PEN (Power supply ENable) input, driven from an open-
collector source, enables (when logic high) the external
converter output, via the PGOOD or START outputs (both
open-drain). They both basically indicate that the power
supply is enabled (PEN = high) and there are no fault
conditions. There are three logic options available, which
determine the START and PGOOD states; see the block
diagram or the Logic Options Table for more detail.The three
logic options are identified with a suffix letter A, B, or C in the
ordering information.
