August 6, 2007 Precision Single-Phase Buck PWM Controller for Intel Mobile Voltage Positioning
IMVP-IVв„ў and IMVP-IV+в„ў
The ISL6218 Single-Phase Buck PWM control IC, with
integrated half bridge gate driver, provides a precision
voltage regulation system for advanced Pentium-M
microprocessors in notebook computers. 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 500kHz per phase.
The ISL6218 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-IVпѓ¤ mobile VID specification. The ISL6218
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” provides excellent
static and dynamic CORE voltage regulation.
Another feature of the ISL6218 IC controller is the internal …
