Advanced PWM and Triple Linear Power
Controller for Gateway Applications
The ISL6440 provides the power control and protection for
four output voltages required by microprocessors used in
high-performance, graphics intensive gateway applications.
The IC integrates a voltage-mode PWM controller and three
linear controllers, as well as the monitoring and protection
functions into a 28-pin SOIC package. The PWM controller
regulates the microprocessor core voltage with a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The linear controllers
regulate the computer system’s AGP 1.5V or 3.3V bus
power, the 1.5V GTL bus power, and the 1.8V power for the
North/South Bridge core voltage and/or cache memory
circuits. The ISL6440 includes an Intel-compatible, TTL
5-input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the
core PWM output voltage from 1.3V
DC
to 2.05V
DC
in 0.05V
steps and from 2.1V
DC
to 3.5V
DC
in 0.1V increments. The
precision reference and voltage-mode control provide
±1%
static regulation. The AGP bus power linear controller’s
output (V
OUT2
) is user-selectable, through a TTL-compatible
signal applied at the SELECT pin, for levels of 1.5V or 3.3V
with
±3%
accuracy. Based on the status of the FIX pin, the
other two linear regulators provide either fixed output
voltages of 1.5V±3% (V
OUT3
) and 1.8V±3% (V
OUT4
), or
user-adjustable by means of an external resistor divider. All
linear controllers can employ either N-Channel MOSFETs or
bipolar NPNs for the pass transistor.
The ISL6440 monitors all the output voltages. A single
Power Good signal is issued when the core is within
±10%
of
the DAC setting and all other outputs are above their under-
voltage levels. Additional built-in overvoltage protection for
the core output uses the lower MOSFET to prevent output
voltages above 115% of the DAC setting. The PWM
controller’s overcurrent function monitors the output current
by using the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET’s
r
DS(ON)
.
