ISL9440AMGTHEVAL1Z - Power Module User Guide
Introduction
Voltage margining on all the output rails is achieved by
changing the equivalent feedback resistor divider setting using
the I2C bus controlled quad-Digitally Controlled Potentiometer
(DCP) ISL22346.
The ISL9440AMGTHEVAL1Z is Intersil’s high performance,
cost-effective power module for Xilinx’s high speed GTH serial
transceivers on Virtex-6 HXT Characterization Boards. Utilizing
the popular ISL9440A and ISL8009A for the power stage, the
module also features quad-DCP ISL22346 for set point
adjustment. Sequencing is achieved using Intersil’s dual
voltage monitor ISL88012.
The power module achieves excellent regulation by remotely
sensing the output voltage close to its load. Figure 1 shows the
block diagram implementation of the power module.
This user guide is intended to serve as a manual for using the
ISL9440AMGTHEVAL1Z power module and also list its various
performance characteristics.

The ISL9440AMGTHEVAL1Z power module uses the three
channel buck controller and single linear controller ISL9440A
for generating voltage rails MGTHAVCC, MGTHAVCCRX and
MGTHAVCCPLL. MGTHAVTT is generated using the tiny
integrated FET regulator ISL8009A. Switching at 600kHz, the
ISL9440A reduces output inductor and capacitor
requirements. The ISL8009A integrates upper and lower
power MOSFETs and switches at 1.6MHz, reducing external
component requirements even further. Table 1 lists the
specifications of each rail.

Voltage Margining Using DCP
The ISL22346 is a quad-DCP that allows changing the center tap
position by writing an 8-bit word into its Wiper Position (WP)
register through the I2C bus. Changing the center tap position of
DCP changes the equivalent feedback resistor divider and results
in a change in output voltage.
The DCP can be identified via the I2C byte ‘A0’. Please refer to
the part datasheet for description of the I2C bus. Table 2 lists the
MGTHAVCCPLL
MGTHAVCC MGTHAVTT
MGTHAVCCRX
specific address for each output rail. It also lists the typical value
of the wiper register for each rail to achieve margining. Margining
is fairly linear between the values shown.
Sequencing Using ISL88012
The power module uses the 5V input rail to bias the ISL9440A.
The 3.3V input rail is used as input voltage for power conversion.
The ISL88012 is a dual voltage monitor that signals a logic high
when both the 5V and the 3.3V rails have started up. Subsequent
RC circuits are used to generate delays on ‘Enable’ of each
individual output rail to give the following start-up sequence:
1. MGTHAVCC powers up first.
2. MGTHAVCCRX powers up within 1ms of MGTHAVCC.
3. MGTHAVTT and MGTHAVCCPLL delayed relative to MGTHAVCC
and MGTHAVCCRX by a minimum of 10µs.
Figure 3 shows a typical start-up waveform.

Protection Features
All the output rails feature overcurrent protection. Please refer to
ISL9440A and ISL8009A datasheets for specific overcurrent
protection mechanisms. The ISL9440A also has output over
voltage protection. Both the controllers feature built-in thermal
protection.
In the event remote sense feedback from control connector J2 is
lost, the module will not get damaged. In fact, all the output rails
of the power module continue good voltage regulation under
such an event. This is achieved via a redundant internal feedback
path.
