Precision Multi-Phase Buck PWM
Controller for Intel, Mobile Voltage
Positioning IMVP-IV™ and IMVP-IV+™
The ISL6217A Multi-Phase Buck PWM controller IC, with
integrated half bridge gate drivers, provides a precision
voltage regulation system for advanced Pentium IV
microprocessors in notebook computers. Two-phase
operation eases the thermal management issues and load
demand of Intel’s latest high performance processors. This
control IC also features both input voltage feed-forward and
average current mode control for excellent dynamic
response, “Loss-less” current sensing using MOSFET
rDS(ON) and user-selectable switching frequencies from
250kHz to 1MHz per phase.
The ISL6217A includes a 6-bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) that dynamically adjusts the CORE PWM output
voltage from 0.700V to 1.708V in 16mV steps and conforms
to the Intel IMVP-IV™ and IMVP-IV+™ mobile VID
specification. The ISL6217A also has logic inputs to select
Active, Deep Sleep and Deeper Sleep modes of operation. A
precision reference, remote sensing and proprietary
architecture, with integrated, processor-mode, compensated
“Droop”, provide excellent static and dynamic CORE voltage
regulation.
To improve efficiency at light loading, the ISL6217A can be
configured to run in single phase PWM in ACTIVE, DEEP or
DEEPER SLEEP modes of operation. Also, in deep and
deeper sleep modes the ISL6217A will operate in diode
emulation.
Another feature of this IC controller is the PGOOD monitor
circuit that is held low until CORE voltage increases, during
its soft-start sequence, to within 12% of the “Boot” voltage.
This PGOOD signal is masked during VID changes. Output
overcurrent, overvoltage and undervoltage are monitored
and result in the converter latching off and PGOOD signal
being held low.
The overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds are 112% and
84% of the VID, Deep or Deeper Sleep setpoint,
respectively. Overcurrent protection features a 32 cycle
overcurrent shutdown. PGOOD, overvoltage, undervoltage
and overcurrent provide monitoring and protection for the
microprocessor and power system. The ISL6217A IC is
available in a 38 lead TSSOP.

Functional Pin Description
VDD
- This pin is used to connect +5V to the IC to supply all
power necessary to operate the chip. The IC starts to
operate when the voltage on this pin exceeds the rising POR
threshold and shuts down when the voltage on this pin drops
below the falling POR threshold.
DACOUT
- This pin provides access to the output of the
Digital-to-Analog Converter.
DSV
- The voltage on this pin provides the set point for
output voltage during Deep Sleep Mode of operation.
FSET
- A resistor from this pin to ground programs the
switching frequency.
PWRCH
- This pin selects the number of power channels. A
HIGH logic level on this pin enables 2 channel operation,
and a LOW logic signal enables single channel operation.
EN -
This pin is connected to the system signal VR_ON and
provides the enable/disable function for the PWM controller.
DRSEN -
This pin connects to system logic “DPRSLPVR”
and enables Deeper Sleep mode of operation when a logic
HIGH is detected on this pin.
DSEN# -
This pin connects to system logic “STP_CPU#” and
enables Deep Sleep mode of operation. Deep Sleep is
enabled when a logic LOW signal is detected on this pin.
VID0, VID1, VID2, VID3, VID4, VID5 -
These pins are used
as inputs to the 6-bit Digital-to-Analog converter (DAC). VID0
is the least significant bit and VID5 is the most significant bit.
PGOOD -
This pin is used as an input and an output and is
tied to the Vccp and Vcc_mch PGOOD signals. During start-
up, this pin is recognized as an input and prevents further
slewing of the output voltage from the “Boot” level until
PGOOD from Vccp and Vcc_mch is enabled High. After
Start-up, this pin has an open drain output used to indicate
the status of the CORE output voltage. This pin is pulled low
when the system output is outside of the regulation limits.
PGOOD includes a timer for power-on delay.
EA+ -
This pin is connected to the non-inverting input of the
error amplifier and is used for setting the “Droop” voltage.
COMP -
This pin provides connection to the error amplifier
output.
FB -
This pin is connected to the inverting input of the error
amplifier.
SOFT
- This pin programs the slew rate of VID changes,
Deep Sleep and Deeper Sleep transitions and Soft-Start
after initializing. This pin is connected to ground via a
capacitor, and to EA+ through an external “Droop” resistor.
VBAT
- Voltage on this pin provides feed-forward battery
information which adjusts the oscillator ramp amplitude.
ISEN1, ISEN2
- These pins are used as current sense inputs
from the individual converter channel phase nodes.
PHASE1, PHASE2
- These pins are connected to the phase
nodes of channels 1 and 2, respectively.
UG1, UG2
- These pins are the gate-drive outputs to the
high side MOSFETs for channels 1 and 2, respectively.
BOOT1, BOOT2
- These pins are connected to the
bootstrap capacitors, for upper gate-drive, for channels 1
and 2, respectively.
VSSP1, VSSP2
- These pins are connected to the power
ground of channels 1 and 2, respectively.
LG1, LG2
- These pins are the gate-drive outputs to the low
side MOSFETs for channels 1 and 2, respectively.
VDDP
- This pin provides a low-esr bypass connection to the
internal gate drivers for the +5V source.
VSEN
- This pin is used for remote sensing of the
microprocessor CORE voltage.
DRSV
- The voltage on this pin provides the set point for
output voltage during Deeper Sleep Mode of operation.
OCSET
- A resistor from this pin to ground sets the
overcurrent protection threshold. The current from this pin
should be between 10µA and 25µA (70kΩ - 175kΩ
equivalent) pull-down resistance.
STV
- The voltage on this pin sets the initial Start-Up or
“Boot” voltage.
VSS
- This pin provides connection for signal ground.
