ISL6548A
ACPI Regulator/Controller for Dual Channel DDR Memory Systems
The ISL6548A 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 to
supply V
DDQ
during S0/S1 and S3 states. 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 second PWM controller, which
requires external MOSFET drivers, is available for regulation
of the GMCH Core voltage. A sink/source LDO controller is
also integrated for the CPU/GMCH V
TT
termination voltage
regulation. Another LDO is available for the ICH7 voltage.
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. The switching
regulator provides 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.
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 VIDPGD signal
indicates that the GMCH and CPU V
TT
termination voltage
is within spec and operational.
All outputs, except V
ICH7
, have undervoltage protection. The
switching regulator also has overvoltage and overcurrent
protection. Thermal shutdown is integrated.
