GPU Core-Voltage Regulator
ISL95870, ISL95870A, ISL95870B
The ISL95870, ISL95870A, ISL95870B ICs are Single-Phase
Synchronous-Buck PWM regulators featuring Intersil’s
proprietary R
4
Technology™. The wide 3.3V to 25V input
voltage range is ideal for systems that run on battery or
AC-adapter power sources. The ISL95870A and ISL95870B
are low-cost solutions for applications requiring dynamically
selected slew-rate controlled output voltages. The soft-start
and dynamic setpoint slew-rates are capacitor programmed.
Voltage identification logic-inputs select four (ISL95870A,
ISL95870B) resistor-programmed setpoint reference voltages
that directly set the output voltage of the converter between
0.5V and 1.5V, and up to 5V with a feedback voltage divider.

Compared with R
modulator, the R4 modulator has
equivalent light-load efficiency, faster transient performance,
accurately regulated frequency control and all internal
compensation. These updates, together with integrated
MOSFET drivers and schottky bootstrap diode, allow for a
high-performance regulator that is highly compact and needs
few external components. The differential remote sensing for
output voltage and selectable switching frequency are another
two new functions. For maximum efficiency, the converter
automatically enters diode-emulation mode (DEM) during
light-load conditions such as system standby.

ISL95870 Functional Pin Descriptions
PIN NUMBER SYMBOL DESCRIPTION
1 GND IC ground for bias supply and signal reference.
2 RTN Negative remote sense input of V
divider should be used at RTN pin, i.e. keep R
3 EN Enable input for the IC. Pulling EN above the rising threshold voltage initializes the soft-start sequence.
4 SREF Soft-start and voltage slew-rate programming capacitor input. Connects internally to the inverting input of the V
setpoint amplifier.
5 FSEL Input for programming the regulator switching frequency. Pull this pin to VCC for 1MHz switching. Pull this pin to GND
with a 100kΩ resistor for 600kHz switching. Leave this pin floating for 500kHz switching. Pull this pin directly to GND
for 300kHz switching.
6 FB Voltage feedback sense input. Connects internally to the inverting input of the control-loop error amplifier. The converter
is in regulation when the voltage at the FB pin equals the voltage on the SREF pin.
7 OCSET Input for the overcurrent detection circuit. The overcurrent setpoint programming resistor R
pin to the sense node.
8 VO Output voltage sense input for the R
detection circuit.
9 PGOOD Power-good open-drain indicator output. This pin changes to high impedance when the converter is able to supply
regulated voltage.
10 PHASE Return current path for the UGATE high-side MOSFET driver, V
polarity detector input.
11 UGATE High-side MOSFET gate driver output. Connect to the gate terminal of the high-side MOSFET of the converter.
12 BOOT Positive input supply for the UGATE high-side MOSFET gate driver. The BOOT pin is internally connected to the cathode
of the Schottky boot-strap diode. Connect an MLCC between the BOOT pin and the PHASE pin.
13 VCC Input for the IC bias voltage. Connect +5V to the VCC pin and decouple with at least a MLCC to the GND pin.
14 PVCC Input for the LGATE and UGATE MOSFET driver circuits. The PVCC pin is internally connected to the anode of the Schottky
boot-strap diode. Connect +5V to the PVCC pin and decouple with a MLCC to the PGND pin.
15 LGATE Low-side MOSFET gate driver output. Connect to the gate terminal of the low-side MOSFET of the converter.
16 PGND Return current path for the LGATE MOSFET driver. Connect to the source of the low-side MOSFET.
