ISL6569A
Multi-Phase PWM Controller
FN9092
Rev 2.00
Dec 29, 2004
The ISL6569A provides core-voltage regulation by driving
two interleaved synchronous-rectified buck-converter
channels in parallel. Interleaving the channel timing results
in increased ripple frequency which reduces input and output
ripple currents. The reduction in ripple results in lower
component cost, reduced dissipation, and a smaller
implementation area.

• Input Voltage: 12V or 5V Bias
for channel current balance, active voltage positioning, and
over-current protection. Output voltage is monitored by an
internal differential remote sense amplifier. A high-bandwidth
error amplifier drives the output voltage to match the
programmed 5-bit DAC reference voltage. The resulting
compensation signal guides the creation of pulse width
modulated (PWM) signals to control companion Intersil
MOSFET drivers. The OFS pin allows direct offset of the
DAC voltage from 0V to 50mV using a single external
resistor. The reference and amplifiers are trimmed to ensure
a system accuracy of ±0.5% over temperature.
• Precision CORE Voltage Regulation
- ±0.5% System Accuracy Over Temperature
- Differential Remote Output Voltage Sensing
- Programmable Reference Offset
• Microprocessor Voltage Identification Input
- 5-Bit VID Input
- 0.800V to 1.550V in 25mV Steps
- Dynamic VIDTM Technology
• Programmable Droop Voltage
• Fast Transient Recovery Time
• Over Current Protection
Outstanding features of this controller IC include
Dynamic VIDTM technology allowing seamless on-the-fly VID
changing without the need of any external components.
Output voltage “droop” or active voltage positioning is
optional. When employed, it allows the reduction in size and
cost of the output capacitors required to support load
transients. A threshold-sensitive enable input allows the use
of an external resistor divider for start-up coordination with
Intersil MOSFET drivers or any other devices powered from
a separate supply.
• Digital Soft Start
• Threshold Sensitive Enable Input
• High Ripple Frequency (160kHz to 2MHz)
• QFN Package:
- Compliant to JEDEC PUB95 MO-220
QFN - Quad Flat No Leads - Package Outline
- Near Chip Scale Package footprint, which improves
PCB efficiency and has a thinner profile
Superior over-voltage protection is achieved by gating on the
lower MOSFET of all phases to crowbar the output voltage.
• Pb-Free Available (RoHS Compliant)
An optional second crowbar on V , formed with an external

Applications
MOSFET or SCR gated by the OVP pin, is triggered when
an over-voltage condition is detected. Under-voltage
conditions are detected, but PWM operation is not disrupted.
Over-current conditions cause a hiccup-mode response as
the controller repeatedly tries to restart. After a set number
of failed startup attempts, the controller latches off. A power
good logic signal indicates when the converter output is
between the UV and OV thresholds.
