The ISL6537 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 VsubDDQ/sub during S0/S1 and S3 states. During S0/S1 state, a fully integrated sink-source regulator generates an accurate (VsubDDQ/sub/2) high current VsubTT/sub voltage without the need for a negative supply. A buffered version of the VsubDDQ/sub/2 reference is provided as VsubREF/sub. Two LDO controllers are also integrated for the GMCH core voltage regulation and for the GMCH and CPU VsubTT/sub termination voltage regulation.brbr The switching PWM controller drives two N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectifie
d 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.brbr 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 VsubTT/sub termination voltage is within spec and operational.brbr Each output is monitored for undervoltage events. The switching regulator also has overvoltage and overcurrent protection. Thermal shutdown is integrated.
