VRM8.5 Dual PWM and Dual Linear Power
System Controller
The ISL6523A provides the powe r control and prote ct ion for
four output voltages in high-performance microprocessor
and computer applications. The IC integrates two PWM
controllers and two linear controllers, as well as the
monitoring and protection functions into a 28-pin SOIC
package. One PWM con trol ler regu late s th e m ic ropro ce ssor
core voltage with a synchronous-rectified buck converter.
The second PWM con t rol le r supplies the computer system’s
AGTL+ 1.2V bus power with a standard buck converter. The
linear controllers regulate power for the 1.5V AGP bus and
the 1.8V power for the chipset core voltage and/or cache
memory circuits.
The ISL6523A includes an Intel VRM8.5 compatible, TTL
5-input digital-to-a nalog converter (DAC) that adjusts the
microprocessor core-targeted PWM output voltage from
1.050V to 1.825V in 25mV steps. The precision reference
and voltage-mode control provid e ±1% stati c regu lation . The
second PWM controller’s output provides a voltage level of
1.2V with ±3% accuracy. The linear regulators use external
N-channel MOSFETs or bipolar NPN pass transistors to
provide fixed o utput volt ages of 1. 5V ±3% (V

) and 1.8V
The ISL6523A monitors all the output voltages. A delayedrising VTT (standard buck output) Power Good signal is
issued before the core PWM starts to ramp up. Another
system Power Good signal is issued when the core is within
±10% of the DAC setting and all other outputs are above
their under- voltage levels. Additional built-in overvoltage
protection for the core output uses the lower MOSFET to
prevent output vol tages above 115% of the DAC setting. Th e
PWM controllers’ overcurrent function monitors the output
current by using the voltage drop across the upper
MOSFET’s r
, eliminating the need for a current
DS(ON)
sensing resistor.

Functional Pin Descriptions
VCC (Pin 28)
Provide a 12V bi as s upp ly fo r t he IC t o this pin. This pin also
provides the gate bias charge for all the MOSFETs
controlled by the IC. The voltage at this pin is monitored for
Power-On Reset (POR) purposes.
GND (Pin 17)
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured
with respect to this pin.
PGND (Pin 24)
This is the power ground connection. Tie the synchronous
PWM converter’s lower MOSFET source to this pin.
VAUX (Pin 16)
Connect this pin t o the ATX 3.3V output. The voltage present
at this pin is monitored for sequencing purposes. This pin
provides the necessary base bias for the NPN pass
transistors, as well as the current sunk through the 5kΩ VID
pull-up resistors.
SS13 (Pin 13)
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 28µA current source, sets the soft-start
interval of the sync hronous sw itching con verter (V
the AGP regulator (V
). A VTTPG high signal is also
OUT3
OUT1
) and
delayed by the time interval required by the charging of this
capacitor from 0V to 1.25V (see Soft-Start details).
SS24 (Pin 12)
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 28µA current source, sets the soft-start
interval of the st andard buck co nverter. Pulling this pin below
0.8V induces a chip reset (POR) and shutdown.
VTTPG (Pin 9)
VTTPG is an open collector output used to indicate the
status of the st andard buck regul ator output volt age. This pin
is pulled low when the output is below the under-voltage
threshold or when the SS13 pin is below 1.25V.
