fn9199 rev 2.00 page 1 of 27 may 15, 2006 fn9199 rev 2.00 may 15, 2006 isl6262 two-phase core regulator for imvp-6 mobile cpus datasheet the isl6262 is a two-phase buck converter regulator implementing intel? imvp-6 protocol, with embedded gate drivers. the two-phase buck c onverter uses two interleaved channels to effectively double the output voltage ripple frequency and thereby reduce output voltage ripple amplitude with fewer compone nts, lower component cost, reduced power dissipation, an d smaller real estate area. the heart of the isl6262 is r 3 technology?, intersils robust ripple regulator mod ulator. compared with the traditional multiphase buck regulator, the r 3 technology? has the fastest transient res ponse. this is due to the r 3 modulator commanding variabl e switching frequency during a load transient. intel mobile voltage positioni ng (imvp) is a smart voltage regulation technology, which effectively reduces power dissipation in intel pentium pro cessors. to boost battery life, the isl6262 supports dpr slrvr (deeper sleep), dprstp# and psi# functions a nd maximizes the efficiency via automatically enabling diff erent phase operation modes. at heavy load operation of the active mode, the regulator commands the two phase cont inuous conduction mode (ccm) operation. while the psi # is asserted at the medium load in the active m ode, the isl6262 smoot hly disables one phase and operates in a one-phase ccm . when the cpu enters deeper sleep mode, the isl6262 enables diode emulation to maximize the efficiency at the light load. a 7-bit digital-to-analog converter (dac) allows dynamic adjustment of the core output v oltage from 0.300v to 1.500v. a 0.5% system accura cy of the core out put voltage over temperature is achie ved by the isl6262. a unity-gain differential amplifier is provided for remote cpu die sensing. this allows the voltage on the cpu die to be accurately measured and reg ulated per i ntel imvp-6 specifications. current sensi ng can be realized using either lossless inductor dcr sensing or precision resistor sensing. a single ntc thermistor network thermally compensates the gain and the time constan t of the dcr variations. features ? precision two-phase c ore voltage regulator - 0.5% system accuracy over temperature - enhanced load line accuracy ? internal gate dr iver with 2a dri ving capability ? dynamic phase adding/dropping ? microprocessor voltag e identification input - 7-bit vid input - 0.300v to 1.500v in 12.5mv steps - support vid change on-the-fly ? multiple current sensing schemes supported - lossless inductor dcr current sensing - precision resisti ve current sensing ? thermal monitor ? user programmable switching frequency ? differential remote cpu die voltage sensing ? static and dynamic current sharing ? overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent protection ? pb-free plus anneal available (rohs compliant) ordering information part number part marking temp.

isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 15 of 27 may 15, 2006 theory of operation the isl6262 is a two-phase regulator implementing intel? imvp-6 protocol and includes e mbedded gate drivers for reduced system cost and board area. the regulator provides optimum steady-state and tr ansient performance for microprocessor core applications up to 50a. system efficiency is enhanced by idling one phase at low-current and implementing automati c dcm-mode operation. the heart of the isl6262 is r 3 technology?, intersils robust ripple regulator modulator. the r 3 modulator combines the best features of fixed frequency pwm and hysteretic pwm while eliminating many of the ir shortcomings. the isl6262 modulator internally synthesiz es an analog of the inductor ripple current and uses hyster etic comparators on those signals to establish pwm pulse widths. operating on these large-amplitude, noise-free synthesized signals allows the isl6262 to achieve lowe r output ripple and lower phase jitter than either conventional hyst eretic or fixed frequency pwm controllers. unlike conventional hysteretic converters, the isl6262 has an error amplifier that allows the controller to maintain a 0.5% voltage regulation accuracy throughout the vid range from 0.75v to 1.5v. the hysteresis window voltage is relative to the error amplifie r output such that load current tran sients results in increased switching frequency, which gives the r 3 regulator a faster response than conventional fix ed frequency pwm controllers. transient load current is inhe rently shared between active phases due to the use of a common hysteretic window voltage. individual average phase vo ltages are monitored and controlled to equally share the s tatic current among the active phases. start-up timing with the controller's +5v v dd voltage above the por threshold, the start-up s equence begins when vr_on exceeds the 3.3v log ic high threshold. a pproximately 100s later, soft and vout begin ra mping to the boot voltage of 1.2v. at start-up, the regulat or always operates in a 2-phase ccm mode, regardless of contro l signal assertion levels. during this internal, the soft cap is charged by 41a current source. if the soft capacitor is selected to be 20nf, the soft ramp will be at 2mv/s for a sof t-start time of 600s. once vout is within 10% of the boot voltage and pgd_in is high for six pwm cycles (20s f or frequency = 300khz), then clk_en# is pulled low and the soft cap is charged/discharged by approximate 200a. therefore, vout slews at +10mv/s to the vo ltage set by the vid pins. approximately 7ms later, pgood is asserted high. typical start-up timing is shown in figure 28. pgd_in latch it should be noted that pgd_i n going low will cause the converter to latch off. this state will be cleared when vr_on i s toggled. this feature allows the converter to res pond to other system voltage outages immediately. static operation after the start sequence, the output voltage will be regulated to the value set by the vid input s per table 1. the entire vid table is presented in the inte l imvp-6 specification. the isl6262 will control the no-load output voltage to an accuracy of 0.5% over the r ange of 0.75v to 1.5v. a fully-differential amplifier i mplements core voltage sensing for precise voltage control at the microprocessor die. the inputs to the amplifier ar e the vsen and rtn pins. as the load current increases from zero, the output voltage wil l droop from the vid table value by an amount proportional to current to achieve the imvp-6 l oad line. the isl6262 provides for current to be measured using either resistors in series wit h the channel inductors as shown in the application circuit of figure 27, or using t he intrinsic series resistance of the table 1. truncated vid table for intel imvp-6 specification vid6 vid5 vid4 vid3 vid2 vid1 vid0 vout (v) 00000001. 5000 00000011. 4875 00001011. 4375 00100011. 2875 00111001.15 01101010. 8375 01110110. 7625 11000000. 3000 11111110. 0000 figure 28. soft-start waveforms using a 20nf soft capacitor v dd vr_on 100s soft & vo pgd_in clk_en# imvp-6 pgood 6.8ms 20s vboot vid commanded voltage 10mv/s 2mv/s

isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 17 of 27 may 15, 2006 the timing is carefully adjust ed to eliminate output voltage excursions. when a phase is added, the current balance between phases is q uickly restored. while psi# is high, both phase s are switchi ng. if psi# is asserted low and either dpr stp# or dprslpvr are not asserted, the controller will tr ansition to ccm operation with only phase 1 switching, and bot h fet's of phase 2 will be off. the controller will th us eliminate switching losses associated with the unneeded channel. when psi#, dprstp#, and dpr slpvr are all asserted, the controller will transition to si ngle-phase dcm mode. in this mode, both fet's associated with phase 2 will be off, and the isl6262 will turn-off the lower fet of channel 1 whenever the channel 1 current decays to zer o. as load is further reduced, the phase 1 channel switching frequency will decrease, thus maintaining high efficiency. dynamic operation refer to figure 29, t he isl6262 responds to changes in vid command voltage by slewing to n ew voltages with a dv/dt set by the soft capacitor and by the state of dprslpvr. with c soft = 15nf and dprslpvr high, the output voltage will move at 2.8mv/s for large changes in voltage. for dprslpvr low, the large sign al dv/dt will be 13mv/s. as the output voltage a pproaches the vid command value, the dv/dt moderates to prevent overshoot. keeping dprslpvr high for volt age transitions into and out of deeper sleep will result in low dv/dt output voltage changes with resulting minimized audio no ise. for fastest recovery from deeper sleep to active mode , holding dprslpvr low will result in maximum dv /dt. therefore, the isl6262 is imvp-6 compliant for dprstp# and dprslpvr logic. intersil's r 3 technology? has intrinsic voltage feedforward. as a result, high-speed input v oltage steps do not result in significant output voltage pertu rbations. in response to load current step increases, the isl 6262 will transiently raise the switching frequency s o that response time is decreased and current is shared by two channels. protection the isl6262 provides overcurrent, overvoltage, under- voltage protection and over-temperature protection as shown in table 3. overcurrent protection is tied to the voltage droop which is determined by the resistors s elected as described in the component selection and applicat ion section. after the load- line is set, the ocset resisto r can be selec ted to detect figure 29. deeper sleep transition showing dprslpvr's effect on exit slew rate vid # v out & v soft dprslpvr -2.5mv/s 2.5mv/s 10mv/s table 3. fault-protection summary of isl6262 fault duration prior to protection protection actions fault reset overcurrent fault 120s pwm1, pwm2 three-state, pgood latched low vr_on toggle or vdd toggle way-overcurrent fault <2s p wm1, pwm2 three-state, pgood latched low vr_on toggle or vdd toggle overvoltage fault (1.7v) immediately low-side fet on until vcore <0.85v, then pwm three-state, pgood latched low (ov-1.7v always) vdd toggle overvoltage fault (+200mv) 1ms pwm1, pwm2 three-state, pgood latched low vr_on toggle or vdd toggle undervoltage fault (-300mv) 1ms pwm1, pwm2 three-state, pgood latched low vr_on toggle or vdd toggle unbalance fault (7.5mv) 1ms pwm1, pwm2 three-state, pgood latched low vr_on toggle or vdd toggle over-temperature fault (ntc <1.18v) immediately vr_tt# goes low n/a

regulator is in a 2-phase mode. while the regulator is in a 1-phase mode of operation, the overcurrent setpoint is automa tically reduced by half. for overcurrents less than twice th e ocset level, the over-load condition must exist for 120s in order to trip the oc fault la tch. this is shown in figure 24. for over-loads exceeding twice the set level, the pwm outputs will immediately shut off and pg ood will go low to maximize protection due to hard shorts. in addition, excessive phase unbalance, for example, due to gate driver failure, will be det ected in two-phase operation an d the controller will be shut-d own after one millisecond's detection of the excessive pha se current unbalance. the phase unbalance is detected by the voltage on the isen pins if the difference is greater than 7.5mv. undervoltage protection is independent of the overcurrent limit . if the output voltage is less t han the vid set value by 300mv o r more, a fault will latch after one millisecond in that conditio n. the pwm outputs will turn off and pgood will go low. note that most practical core regulators will have the overcurrent s et to trip before the -30 0mv undervoltage limit. there are two levels of overvol tage protection and response. for output voltage exceeding the set value by +200mv for one millisecond, a fault is declared. all of the above faults have the same action taken: pgood is l atched low and the upper and lower power fets are turned off s o that inductor current will decay through the fet body dio des. this condition can be reset by bringing vr_on low or by bringing vdd below 4v. when these inputs are returned to their high operating levels, a soft-start will occur. refer to figure 25, the second le vel of overvoltage protection behaves differently. if the output exceeds 1.7v, an ov fault is immediately declared, pgood is latched low and the low-side fets are turned on. the low-side fets will remain on until the output voltage is pulled down below about 0.85v at which time all fets are turned off. if the output again rises above 1.7v, the protection process is repeated . this offers the maximum amount of protection against a shorted high-side fet while preventing output ring ing below ground. the 1.7v ov is not reset with vr_on, but requires that vdd be lowered to reset. the 1.7v ov detector is active at all times that the controller is enabled including after one of the other faults occurs so that the processor is protected against high-side fet leakage while the fets are commanded off. the isl6262 has a thermal thrott ling feature. if the voltage on the ntc pin goes below the 1.18v over-temperature threshold, the vr_tt# pin is pulled low indicating the need for thermal throttling to the syst em oversight processo r. no other action i s taken within the isl6262 in res ponse to ntc pin voltage. component selectio n and application soft-start and mode change slew rates the isl6262 uses 2 slew rates for various modes of operation. the first is a slow slew rate, used to reduce inrush current during start-up. it is also use d to reduce audible noise when entering or exiting deeper sleep mode. a faster slew rate is used to exit out of deeper s leep and to enhance system performance by achieving active mode regulation more quickly. note that the soft cap current i s bidirectional. the current is flowing into the soft capacit or when the output voltage is commanded to rise, and out of the soft capacitor when the output voltage is commanded to fall. refer to figure 30. the two s lew rates are determined by commanding one of two current sources onto the soft pin. as can be seen in figur e 30, the soft pin has a capacitance to ground. also, the soft pin is th e input to the error amplifier and is, therefore, the commanded system voltage. depending on the state of the system, i.e. start-up or active mode, and the state of the dprslpvr pin , one of the two currents shown in figure 30 will be use d to charge or discharge this capacitor , thereby controlling the slew r ate of the commanded voltage. these currents ca n be found under the soft-start current section of the elect rical specification table. the first curr ent, labelled i ss , is given in the specification table as 41a. this current is used during soft-start. the second current, i 2 sums with i ss to get the larger of the two currents, labeled i gv in the electrical specification table. this total current is typically 200 a with a minimum of 175a. the imvp-6 specificat ion reveals the crit ical timing associated with regulating the output vo ltage. the symbol, slewrate, as given in the imvp- 6 specification will determine the choice of the soft capacitor, c soft , by the following equation: figure 30. soft pin current sources for fast and slow slew rates c soft soft isl6262 i ss + v ref i 2 + error amplifier c soft i gv slewrate ----------------------------------- - = (eq. 1)
isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 19 of 27 may 15, 2006 using a slewrate of 10mv /s, and the typical i gv value, given in the electrical spec ification table of 200a, c soft is a choice of 0.015f woul d guarantee a slewrate of 10mv/s is met for minimum i gv value, given in the electrical specification table. this choice of c soft will then control the start-up slewrate as well. o ne should expect the output voltage to slew to the boot value of 1.2v at a rate given by th e following equation: selecting rbias to properly bias the isl6 262, a reference current is established by placing a 147k ? , 1% tolerance resistor from the rbias pin to ground. this will provide a highly accurate, 10a current source from which oc set reference current can be derived. care should be taken in layout t hat the resistor is placed very close to the rbias pin and that a good quality signal ground is connected to the oppos ite side of the rbias resistor. do not connect any other components to this pin as this would negatively impact performance. c apacitance on this pin would create instabilities and should be avoided. start-up operation - clk_en# and pgood the isl6262 provides a 3.3v logic output pin for clk_en#. the 3v3 pin allows fo r a system 3.3v sour ce to be co nnected to separated circuitry inside the isl6262, solely devoted to th e clk_en# function. the output is a 3.3v cmos signal with 4ma sourcing and sinking cap ability. this implementation removes the need for an external pull-up re sistor on this pin, and due to the normal level of this signal being a low, removes the leakage path from the 3.3v supply to ground through the pull-up resistor. this reduces 3.3 v supply curre nt, that would occur under normal operation with a pull-up re sistor, and prolongs battery lif e. the 3.3v supply should be decoupled to digital ground, not to analog ground for noise immunity. as mentioned in the theory of operation section of this datasheet, clk_en# is logic level high at start-up until 20s after the system vccp and v cc_mch supplies are within regulation, and the vcc-core is in regulation at the boot level . approximately 20s after these vo ltages are within regulation, as indicated by pgd_in going high, clk_en# goes low, triggering an internal timer f or the imvp-6_pwrgd signal. this timer allows imvp-6_pwr gd to go high approximately 6.8ms after clk_en# goes low. static mode of operation - processor die sensing die sensing is the ability of the controller to regulate the co re output voltage at a remotely s ensed point. this allows the voltage regulator to compensate fo r various resistive drops in the power path and ensure that the voltage seen at the cpu die is the correct level independent of load current. the vsen and rtn pins of th e isl6262 are connected to kelvin sense leads at the die of the processor through the processor socket. these signal names are vcc_sense and vss_sense respectively. this all ows the voltage regulator to tightly control the processor vo ltage at the di e, independent o f layout inconsistencies and voltag e drops. this kelvin sense technique provides for extreme ly tight load line regulation. these traces should be laid out as noise sensitive traces. for optimum load line regulati on performance, the traces connecting these two pins to th e kelvin sense leads of the processor must be laid out awa y from rapidly rising voltage nodes, (switching nodes) and ot her noisy traces. to achieve optimum performance, place c ommon mode and differential mode rc filters to analog gr ound on vsen and rtn as shown in figure 31. the filter resistors should be 10 ? so that they do not interact with the 50k ? input resistance of the differential amplifier. the filter resist or may be inserted between vcc_sense and vsen p in. another option is to place to the filter resistor between vcc_se nse and vsen pin and between vss_sense and rtn pin. wheth er to need thes e rc filter really depends on t he actual board layout and noise environment. due to the fact that the volta ge feedback to the switching regulator is sensed at the pro cessor die, there exists the potential of an overvoltage d ue to an open circuited feedback signal, should the regulator be operated without the processor installed. due to this fact, we recommend the use of the ropn1 and ropn2 connected to vout and ground as shown in figure 31. these resistors will provide voltage f eedback in the event that the system is powered up without a processor installed. these resistors may typi cally range from 20 to 100 ? .

isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 21 of 27 may 15, 2006 when temperature increases, the ntc resistor value on ntc pin decreases. thus, the voltage on ntc pin decreases to a level lower than 1.18v. the comparator output changes polarity and turns sw1 off and connects sw2 to 1.20v. this pulls vr_tt# low and sends the signal to start thermal throttle . there is a 6a current reduction on ntc pin and 20mv voltage increase on threshold voltage o f the comparator in this state. the vr_tt# signal will be used to change the cpu operation and decrease the power consump tion. when the temperature goes down, the ntc thermistor voltage will ev entually go up. the ntc pin voltage increases to 1.20v, the comparator output will then be able to flip back. s uch a temperatur e hysteresis feature of vr_tt# is illustrated in figure 33. t 1 represents the higher temperature point at wh ich the vr_tt# goes from low to high due to the system temperature rise. t 2 represents the lower temperature point at whi ch the vr_tt# goes high from low because the system temperat ure decreases to the normal level. usually, the ntc thermistor's r esistance can be approximated by the following formula: t is the temperatu re of the ntc the rmistor and b is a parameter constant depending on the thermistor material. t o is the reference temperature in which the approximation is derived. most common temperature for t o is 25c. for example, there are commercial ntc thermistor products with b = 2750k, b = 2600k, b = 4500k or b = 4250k. from the operation principle of t he vr_tt# circ uit explained, the ntc resistor satisfies t he following equ ation group. from equation 6 and equ ation 7, the follo wing can be derived, using equation 5 into equatio n 8, the required nominal ntc resistor value can be obtained by: for some cases, the constant b is not accurate enough to approximate the ntc resistor v alue, the manufacturer provides the resistor ratio information at different tem perature. the nominal ntc resistor value may be expressed in another way as follows: where is the normalized ntc resistance to its nominal value. most datasheet of the ntc thermistor gives the normalized resistor value b ased on its value at 25c. once the ntc thermistor resisto r is determined, the series resistor can be derived by: once r ntcto and r s is designed, the actual ntc resistance at t 2 and the actual t 2 temperature can be found in: one example of using equatio ns 9, 10 and 11 to design a thermal throttling circuit with the temperature hysteresis 100 c to 105c is illustrated as follows. since t 1 = 105c and t 2 = 100c, if we use a panasonic ntc with b = 4700, the equation 9 gives the required nt c nominal resistance as in fact, the datasheet gives the resistor ratio value at 100c to 105c, which is 0.03956 and 0.03322 respectively. the b value 4700k in panasonic datasheet only covers to 85c. therefore, using equation 10 is more accurate for 100c design, the required ntc nominal res istance at 25c is 402k ? . the closest ntc resistor value from manufacturer is 470k ? . so the series resistance is given by equation 11 as follows, furthermore, the nt c resistance at t 2 is given by equation 12. from the ntc datasheet, it can be concluded that the actual temperature t 2 is about 97c. if us ing the equation 13, t 2 is calculated to be 97.7c. check the ntc datasheet to decide t 1 t 2 logic_0 logic_1 vr_tt# t (c) figure 33. temperature hysteresis of vr_tt# (eq. 5) r ntc t ?? r ntcto e ? = b 1 t 273 + ------------------- - 1 to 273 + ----------------------- C ?? ?? ? ??? ?? r s + 1.18v 60 ? a --------------- - 19.67k ? == ?? r s + 1.2v 54 ? a -------------- - 22.22k ? == ?? r ntc t 1 ??

isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 22 of 27 may 15, 2006 whether equation 9 or equation 10 can accurately represent the ntc resistor value at t he designed temperature range. therefore, the ntc branch is designed to have a 470k ntc and 4.02k resistor in series. the part number of the ntc thermistor is ertj 0ev474j. it is a 0402 package. the ntc thermistor should be placed in the spot which gives the best indication of the tempe rature of voltage r egulator circuit. the actual hysteresis temperatur e is about 105c and 97c. static mode of operation - static droop using dcr sensing as previously mentioned, the isl6262 has an internal differential amplifier which provides for very accurate voltage regulation at the die of the processor. the load line regulatio n is also accurate for both two-phase and single-phase operation. the process of selecting the components for the appropriate load line dr oop is explained here. for dcr sensing, the proce ss of compensation for dcr resistance variation to achieve t he desired load line droop has several steps and is somewhat iterative. the two-phase solution using dcr sensing is shown in figure 31. there are two resistors c onnecting to the terminals of inductor of each phase. these are labeled rs and ro. these resistors are used to obtain the dc voltage d rop across each inductor. each inductor will hav e a certain level of dc current flowing through it, and this current when multiplied by the dcr of the inductor creates a smal l dc voltage drop across the inductor terminal. when this vol tage is summed with the other channels dc voltages, the to tal dc load current can be derived. ro is typically 1 to 10 ? . this resistor is used to tie the outputs of all channels toget her and thus create a summed average of the local core voltage outpu t. rs is determined through an understanding of both the dc and transient load currents. this value will be covered in the next section. however, it is important to keep in mind that t he output of each of these rs resistors are tied together to c reate the vsum voltage node. with both the outputs of ro and rs tied together, the simplified model for the droop cir cuit can be derived. this is presented in figure 34. figure 34 shows the simplified model of the droop circuitry. essentially one resistor can repl ace the ro resistors of each phase and one rs resistor can replace the rs resistors of each phase. the total dcr dro p due to load current can be replaced by a dc source, the v alue of which is given by: for the convenience of analysis , the ntc network comprised of rntc, rseries and rpar, given in figure 31, is labelled as a single resistor rn in figure 34. the first step in droop load line compensation is to adjust rn, ro eqv and rs eqv such that sufficient d roop voltage exists even at light loads between th e vsum and vo' nodes. as a rule of thumb we sta rt with the voltage dr op across the rn network, vn, to be 0.5-0.8 times v dcr_equ . this ratio provides for a fairly reasonable amount of light load signal fr om which to arrive at droop. the resultant ntc network res istor value is dependent on the temperature and given by for simplicity, the gain of vn to the v dcr_equ is defined by g1, also dependent on the temperat ure of the ntc thermistor.

isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 23 of 27 may 15, 2006 therefore, the output of the dro op amplifier divided by the tot al load current can be ex pressed as follows. where r droop is the realized load line slope and 0.00393 is the temperature coefficient of the copper. to achieve the droop value independent from the temp erature of the inductor, it is equivalently expressed by the following. the non-inverting dr oop amplifier circuit has the gain k droopamp expressed as: g 1target is the desired gain of vn over i out ? ? dcr/2. therefore, the t emperature characteris tics of gain of vn is described by: for the g 1target = 0.76, the rntc = 10k ? with b = 4300, rseries = 2610k ? , and rpar = 11k ? , rs eqv = 1825 ? generates a desired g1, close t o the feature specified in equation 20. the actual g1 at 25c is 0.763. for different g1 and ntc thermistor preference, t he design file to generate the proper value of rntc, rseries, rpar, and rs eqv is provided by intersil. then, the individual resistors from each phase to the vsum node, labeled rs1 and rs2 in figure 31, are then given by the following equation. so, rs = 3650 ? . once we know the atte nuation of the rs and rn network, we can then determi ne the droop amplifier gain required to achieve the load line. setting rdrp1 = 1k_1%, then rdrp2 is can be found using equation droop impedance (rdroop) = 0. 0021 (v/a) as per the intel imvp-6 specificat ion, dcr = 0.0008 ? typical for a 0.36h inductor, rdrp1 = 1k ? and the attenuation gain (g1) = 0.77, rdrp2 is then given by note, we choose to ignore the ro resistors because they do not add significant error. these designed values in rn net work are very sensitive to layout and coupling factor of t he ntc to the inductor. as only one ntc is required in this app lication, this ntc should be placed as close to the channel 1 inductor as possible and pcb traces sensing the inductor voltage should be go directly to th e inductor pads. once the board has been laid out, some adjustments may be required to adjust the full load droop voltage. this is fairly easy and can be accomplished by al lowing the system to achieve thermal equilibrium at full load, and then adjusting rdrp2 to obtain the appropriate load line slope. to see whether the ntc has c ompensated the temperature change of the dcr, the user can apply full load current and wait for the thermal steady state and see how much the output voltage will deviate from the i nitial voltage reading. a good compensation can limit the drift to 2mv. if the output voltage is decreasing with temperature increase, that ratio between the ntc thermistor value and the re st of the resi stor divider network has to be increased. the user should follow the evaluation board value and layout of ntc as much as possible to minimize engineering time. the 2.1mv/a load line should b e adjusted by rdrp2 based on maximum current, not based on small curre nt steps like 10a, as the droop gain might va ry between each 10a steps. basically, if the max current i s 40a, the required droop voltag e is 84mv. the user should have 40a load current on and look for 84mv droop. if the drop voltage is less than 84mv, for example, 80mv. the new val ue will be calculated by: for the best accuracy, the effective resistance on the dfb and vsum pins should be identical so t hat the bias current of the droop amplifier does not cau se an offset v oltage. in the example above, the resistance on the dfb pin is rdrp1 in parallel with rdrop2, that is, 1k in parallel wit h 5.82k or 853 ? . the resistance on the vsum pi n is rn in parallel with rs eqv or 5.87k in parallel with 1.825k or 1392 ? . the mismatch in the effective resistances is 1392 - 853 = 539 ? . do not let the mismatch get larger than 600 ? . to reduce the mismatch, multiply both rdrp1 and rdrp2 by the appropriate factor. the appropriate factor in the e xample is 1392/853 = 1.632. in summary, the predicted load line with the designed droop network parameters based on the intersil design tool is shown in figure 35.

isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 24 of 27 may 15, 2006 dynamic mode of operation - dynamic droop using dcr sensing droop is very important for lo ad transient performance. if the system is not compensated corre ctly, the output voltage could sag excessively upon load applicat ion and potentia lly create a system failure. the output voltage could also take a long period of time to settle to its final value. this could be problematic if a load dump were to occur during this time. this situation would cause the output voltage to rise above the no load setpoint of the converter and could potentially damage the cpu. the l/dcr time constant of the inductor must be matched to the rn*cn time constant as s hown in the following equation: solving for cn we now hav e the following equation: note, ro was neglected. as long as the inductor time constant matches the cn, rn and rs time constants as given above, the transient performance will be op timum. as in the static droop case, this proce ss may require a slight adjustment to correct for layout inconsistencies. for the example of l = 0.36h with 0.8m ? dcr, cn is calculated below. the value of this ca pacitor is selected to be 330nf. as the inductors tend to have 20% to 30% tolerances, this cap generally will be tuned on the board by examining the transient voltage. if the output voltage tr ansient has an initial dip, lo wer than the voltage required by the load line, and slowly increase s back to the steady state, the cap is too small and vice versa. it is better to have the cap val ue a little bigger to cover the tolerance of the inductor to pre vent the output voltage from going lower than the spec. thi s cap needs to be a high grade cap like x7r with low tolerance. there is another consideration in order to achieve better ti me constant match mentioned above. the npo/cog (class-i) capacitors have only 5% tolerance and a very good therma l characteristics. but those caps are only available in small capacitance values. in order t o use such capacitors, the resistors and thermistors surrounding the droop voltage sensing and droop amplifier has to be resized up to 10x to reduce t he capacitance by 10x. but attention has to be paid in ba lancing the imped ance of droop amplifier in this case. dynamic mode of operation - compensation parameters considering the voltage regulator as a black box with a voltage source controlled by vid and a series impedance, in order to achieve the 2.1mv/ a load line, the im pedance needs to be 2.1m ? . the compensation design has to target the output impedance of the converter to be 2.1m ? . there is a mathematical calculation file av ailable to the user. the power stage parameters such as l and cs are needed as the input to calculate the com pensation component v alues. attention has to be paid to the input resistor to the fb pin. too high of a resistor will cause an error to the output voltage regulation because of bias current flowing in the fb pin. i t is better to keep this resistor below 3k when using this file. static mode of operatio n - current balance using dcr or discrete resi stor current sensing current balance is achieved in the isl6262 through the matching of the voltages pres ent on the isen pins. the isl6262 adjusts the duty cycles of each phase to maintain equal potentials on the isen p ins. rl and cl around each inductor, or around each discrete current resistor, are used to create a rather large time constant such that the isen voltages have minimal ripple voltage a nd represent the dc current flowing through each channel 's inductor. for optimum performance, rl is chosen to be 10k ? and cl is selected to be 0.22f. when discrete resistor sensing is used, a capacitor most likely needs to be placed in parallel with rl to properly compensate the curre nt balance circuit. isl6262 uses rc filter to sense the average voltage on phase node and forces the average voltage on t he phase node to be equal for current balance. even though the isl6262 forces the isen voltages to be almost equal, the inductor currents will no t be exactly equal. take dcr current sensing as example, two errors have to be added to find the total current imbalance. 1) mismatch of dcr: if the dcr has a 5% tolerance then the resistors could mismatch by 10% worst case. if each phase is carrying 20a then the phase currents mismatch by 20a*10% = 2a. 2) mismatch of phase voltages/offset voltage of isen pins. the phase voltages are within 2m v of each othe r by current balance circuit. the error current that results is given by 2mv/dcr. if dcr = 1m ? then the error is 2a. 2.05 2.1 2.15 2.2 2.25 0 20406080100 inductor temperature (c) load line (mv/a) figure 35. load line performance with ntc thermal compensation (eq. 23) l dcr ------------- r n rs eqv ?

isl6262 fn9199 rev 2.00 page 25 of 27 may 15, 2006 in the above example, the two errors add to 4a. for the two phase dc/dc, the currents woul d be 22a in one phase and 18a in the other phase. in the above analysis, the current balance can be calculated wi th 2a/20a = 10%. this is the worst case calculation, for example, the actual tolerance of tw o 10% dcrs is 10%*sqrt(2) = 7%. there are provisions to correc t the current imbalance due to layout or to purposely divert cur rent to certain phase for bett er thermal management. customer can put a resistor in parallel with the current sensi ng capacitor on the phase of interest in order to purposely increase the current in that phase. in the case the pc board trace resistance from the inductor to the microprocessor are not the same on two phases, the current will not be balanced. on the phase that have too much trace resistance a resistor ca n be added in parallel with the isen capacitor that will cor rect for the poor layout. an estimate of the value of the resistor is: rtweak = risen * rdcr/(rtrace-rmin) where risen is the resistance from the phase node to the isen pin; usually 10k ? . rdcr is the dcr resist ance of the inductor. rtrace is the trace resist ance from the inductor to the microprocessor on the phase t hat needs to be tweaked. it should be measured with a good microohm meter. rmin is the trace resistance from the inductor to the microprocessor on the phase with the least resistance. for example, if the pc board trace on one phase is 0.5m ? and on another trace is 0.3m ? ; and if the dcr is 1.2m ? ; then the tweaking resistor is rtweak = 10k ? * 1.2/(0.5 - 0.3) = 60k ? . when choosing current sense resi stor, not only the tolerance of the resistance is importa nt, but also the tcr. and its combined tolerance at a wide temperature r ange should be calculated. droop using discrete resistor sensing - static/ dynamic mode of operation figure 36 shows the equivalent c ircuit of a di screte current sense approach. figure 27 sho ws a more detailed schematic of this approach. droop is so lved the same way as the dcr sensing approach with a few sligh t modifications. first, there is no ntc requir ed for thermal compensation, therefore, the rn resistor netwo rk in the previous section is n ot required. secondly, there is no time constant matching required, therefore, the cn com ponent is not matched to the l/dcr time constant. this co mponent does indeed provide noise immunity and therefore is popul ated with a 39pf capacitor. the rs values in the previous section, rs = 1.5k_1% are sufficient for this approach. now, the input to the droop amplifier is essentially the vrsens e voltage. this voltage is give n by the following equation: the gain of the droop amplifier, k droopamp , must be adjusted for the ratio of the rsense to droop impedance, rdroop. we use the following equation: solving for the rdrp2 value, r droop = 0.0021(v/a) as per the intel imvp-6 specification, rsense = 0.001 ? and rdrp1 = 1k ? , we obtain the following: these values are extremely s ensitive to la yout. once the board has been laid out, some tweaking may be required to adjust the full load droop. t his is fairly easy and can be accomplished by allowing th e system to achieve thermal equilibrium at full l oad, and then adjustin g rdrp2 to obtain th e desired droop value. fault protection - overcurrent fault setting as previously described, the overcurrent protection of the isl6262 is related to the droop voltage. previously we have calculated that the droop voltage = il oad * rdroop, where rdroop is the load line slope sp ecified as 0.0021 (v/a) in the intel imvp-6 specific ation. knowing this r elationship, the overcurrent protection threshold can be set up as a voltage droop level. knowing this voltage droop level, one can program in the appropriate dro p across the roc resistor. this voltage drop will be referred to as voc . once the droop voltage is greater than voc, the pwm drives will turn off and pgood will go low. the selection of roc is given in equation. assuming we desire an overcurrent trip level, ioc, of 55a, and knowing from the intel specification that the lo ad line slope, rdroop is 0.0021 (v/a), we can then calculate for roc as shown in equation. note, if the droop load line sl ope is not -0.0 021 (v/a) in the application, the overcurrent se tpoint will differ from predicte d.
