ACPI Regulator/Controller for
Dual Channel DDR Memory Systems
The ISL6532A provides a complete ACPI compliant power
solution for up to 4 DIMM dual channel DDR/DDR2 Memory
systems. Included are both a synchronous buck controller
and integrated LDO to supply V
DDQ
with high current during
S0/S1 states and standby current during S3 state. During
S0/S1 state, a fully integrated sink-source regulator
generates an accurate (V
DDQ
/2) high current V
TT
voltage
without the need for a negative supply. A buffered version of
the V
DDQ
/2 reference is provided as V
REF
. An LDO
controller is also integrated for AGP core voltage regulation.
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. Both the switching
regulator and standby LDO provide 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.
Switching memory core output between the PWM regulator
and the standby LDO during state transitions is
accomplished smoothly via the internal ACPI control
circuitry. The NCH signal provides synchronized switching of
a backfeed blocking switch during the transitions eliminating
the need to route 5V Dual to the memory supply.
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 PGOOD signal
indicates V
TT
is within spec and operational.
Each output is monitored for under and over-voltage events.
The switching regulator has over current protection. Thermal
shutdown is integrated.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free products employ special Pb-free material sets; molding
compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination finish, which
is 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-020B.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.
