Dual Mobile-Friendly PWM Controller with
DDR Memory Option
The ISL6225 dual PWM controller delivers high efficiency and
tight regulation from two voltage regulating synchronous buck
DC/DC converters. The ISL6225 PWM power supply controller
was designed especially for DDR DRAM, SDRAM, and graphic
chipset applications in high performance desknote PCs,
notebook PCs, sub-notebook PCs, and PDAs.
Automatic mode selection of constant-frequency synchronous
rectification at heavy load, and hysteretic diode-emulation at
light load, assure high efficiency over a wide range of
conditions. The hysteretic mode of operation can be disabled
separately on each PWM converter if constant-frequency
continuous-conduction operation is desired for all load levels.
Efficiency is further enhanced by using the lower MOSFET
r
DS(ON)
as the current sense element.
Voltage-feed-forward ramp modulation, average current mode
control, and internal feedback compensation provide fast
response to input voltage and output load transients. Input
current ripple is minimized by channel to channel PWM
phase shift of 0°, 90°, or 180° determined by input voltage
and status of the DDR pin.
The ISL6225 can control two independent output voltages
adjustable from 0.9V to 5.5V or, by activating the DDR pin,
transform into a complete DDR memory power supply
solution. In DDR mode, CH2 output voltage VTT tracks CH1
output voltage VDDQ. CH2 output can both source and sink
current, an essential power supply feature for DDR memory
systems. The reference voltage VREF required by DDR
memory is generated as well.
In dual power supply applications the ISL6225 monitors the
output voltage of both CH1 and CH2. An independent
PGOOD (power good) signal is asserted for each channel
after the soft-start sequence has completed, and the output
voltage is within ±10% of the set point. In DDR mode CH1
generates the only PGOOD signal.
Built-in overvoltage protection prevents the output from
going above 115% of the set point by holding the lower
MOSFET on and the upper MOSFET off. When the output
voltage decays below the overvoltage threshold, normal
operation automatically resumes. Once the soft-start
sequence has completed, under-voltage protection may
latch the ISL6225 off if either output drops below 75% of its
set point value.
Adjustable overcurrent protection (OCP) monitors the
voltage drop across the r
DS(ON)
of the lower MOSFET. If
more precise current-sensing is required, an external current
sense resistor may be used.

NOTES:
1. Intersil Pb-free products employ special Pb-free material sets; molding
compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination
finish, which are RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and
Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free products are MSL
classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed
the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
2. Add “-T” for Tape and Reel.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.
