Product Status: Mass Production
OVERVIEW
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 VDDQ
during S0/S1 and S3 states. During S0/S1 state, a fully integrated sink-source regulator generates an accurate (VDDQ
/2) high current VTT
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 VTT
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 voltagemode 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 VTT termination voltage is within spec and operational.
All outputs, except VICH7 , have undervoltage protection. The switching regulator also has overvoltage and overcurrent protection. Thermal shutdown is integrated.
