INTERSIL ISL62882HRTZ

ISL62882, ISL62882B
Features
The ISL62882 is a multiphase PWM buck regulator for
miroprocessor or graphics processor core power supply.
The multiphase buck converter uses interleaved phases
to reduce the total output voltage ripple with each phase
carrying a portion of the total load current, providing
better system performance, superior thermal
management, lower component cost, reduced power
dissipation, and smaller implementation area. The
ISL62882 uses two integrated gate drivers to provide a
complete solution. The PWM modulator is based on
Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R3) technology™.
Compared with traditional modulators, the R3™
modulator commands variable switching frequency
during load transients, achieving faster transient
response. With the same modulator, the switching
frequency is reduced at light load, increasing the
regulator efficiency.
• Programmable 1- or 2-Phase CPU Mode Operation or
1-Phase GPU Mode Operation
• Precision Multiphase Core Voltage Regulation
- 0.5% System Accuracy Over-Temperature
- Enhanced Load Line Accuracy
The ISL62882 can be configured as CPU or graphics
Vcore controller and is fully compliant with IMVP-6.5™
specifications. It responds to PSI# and DPRSLPVR signals
by adding or dropping Phase 2, adjusting overcurrent
protection threshold accordingly, and entering/exiting
diode emulation mode. It reports the regulator output
current through the IMON pin. It senses the current by
using either discrete resistor or inductor DCR whose
variation over temperature can be thermally
compensated by a single NTC thermistor. It uses
differential remote voltage sensing to accurately regulate
the processor die voltage. The unique split LGATE
function further increases light load efficiency. The
adaptive body diode conduction time reduction function
minimizes the body diode conduction loss in diode
emulation mode. User-selectable overshoot reduction
function offers an option to aggressively reduce the
output capacitors as well as the option to disable it for
users concerned about increased system thermal stress.
The ISL62882 offers the FB2 function to optimize
1-phase performance.

The ISL62882 is a multiphase regulator implementing
Intel® IMVP-6.5™ protocol. It can be programmed for
1- or 2-phase operation for microprocessor core
applications. It uses Intersil patented R3™ (Robust
Ripple Regulator™) modulator. The R3™ modulator
combines the best features of fixed frequency PWM and
hysteretic PWM while eliminating many of their
shortcomings. Figure 5 conceptually shows the
ISL62882 multiphase R3™ modulator circuit, and Figure
6 shows the operation principles.
A current source flows from the VW pin to the COMP pin,
creating a voltage window set by the resistor between
the two pins. This voltage window is called VW window in
the following discussion.

FIGURE 6. R3™ MODULATOR OPERATION
PRINCIPLES IN STEADY STATE
Inside the IC, the modulator uses the master clock circuit
to generate the clocks for the slave circuits. The
modulator discharges the ripple capacitor Crm with a
current source equal to gmVo, where gm is a gain factor.
Crm voltage Vcrm is a sawtooth waveform traversing
between the VW and COMP voltages. It resets to VW
when it hits COMP, and generates a one-shot master
clock signal. A phase sequencer distributes the master
clock signal to the slave circuits. If the ISL62882 is in 2phase mode, the master clock signal will be distributed to
Phases 1 and 2, and the Clock1 and Clock2 signals will be
180° out-of-phase. If the ISL62882 is in 1-phase mode,
the master clock signal will be distributed to Phases 1
only and be the Clock1 signal.
Each slave circuit has its own ripple capacitor Crs, whose
voltage mimics the inductor ripple current. A gm
amplifier converts the inductor voltage into a current
source to charge and discharge Crs. The slave circuit
turns on its PWM pulse upon receiving the clock signal,
and the current source charges Crs. When Crs voltage
12
FN6890.2
April 29, 2010
ISL62882, ISL62882B
VCrs hits VW, the slave circuit turns off the PWM pulse,
and the current source discharges Crs.
Since the ISL62882 works with Vcrs, which are large
amplitude and noise-free synthesized signals, the
ISL62882 achieves lower phase jitter than conventional
hysteretic mode and fixed PWM mode controllers. Unlike
conventional hysteretic mode converters, the ISL62882
has an error amplifier that allows the controller to
maintain a 0.5% output voltage accuracy.
Figure 7 shows the operation principles during load
insertion response. The COMP voltage rises during load
insertion, generating the master clock signal more
quickly, so the PWM pulses turn on earlier, increasing
the effective switching frequency, which allows for
higher control loop bandwidth than conventional fixed
frequency PWM controllers. The VW voltage rises as the
COMP voltage rises, making the PWM pulses wider.
During load release response, the COMP voltage falls. It
takes the master clock circuit longer to generate the
next master clock signal so the PWM pulse is held off
until needed. The VW voltage falls as the VW voltage
falls, reducing the current PWM pulse width. This kind of
behavior gives the ISL62882 excellent response speed.
The fact that both phases share the same VW window
voltage also ensures excellent dynamic current balance
between phases.
current is heavy enough, the inductor current will never
reach 0A, and the regulator is in CCM although the
controller is in DE mode.
Figure 9 shows the operation principle in diode
emulation mode at light load. The load gets
incrementally lighter in the three cases from top to
bottom. The PWM on-time is determined by the VW
window size, therefore is the same, making the inductor
current triangle the same in the three cases. The
ISL62882 clamps the ripple capacitor voltage Vcrs in DE
mode to make it mimic the inductor current. It takes
the COMP voltage longer to hit Vcrs, naturally stretching
the switching period. The inductor current triangles
move further apart from each other such that the
inductor current average value is equal to the load
current. The reduced switching frequency helps to
increase light load efficiency.

Start-up Timing
FIGURE 8. DIODE EMULATION
ISL62882 can operate in diode emulation (DE) mode to
improve light load efficiency. In DE mode, the low-side
MOSFET conducts when the current is flowing from
source to drain and does not allow reverse current,
emulating a diode. As Figure 8 shows, when LGATE is on,
the low-side MOSFET carries current, creating negative
voltage on the phase node due to the voltage drop across
the ON-resistance. The ISL62882 monitors the current
through monitoring the phase node voltage. It turns off
LGATE when the phase node voltage reaches zero to
prevent the inductor current from reversing the direction
and creating unnecessary power loss.
If the load current is light enough, as Figure 8 shows, the
inductor current will reach and stay at zero before the
next phase node pulse, and the regulator is in
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). If the load

With the controller's VDD voltage above the POR
threshold, the start-up sequence begins when VR_ON
exceeds the 3.3V logic high threshold. Figure 10 shows
the typical start-up timing when the ISL62882 is
configured for CPU VR application. The ISL62882 uses
digital soft-start to ramp-up DAC to the boot voltage of
1.1V at about 2.5mV/µs. Once the output voltage is
within 10% of the boot voltage for 13 PWM cycles
(43µs for frequency = 300kHz), CLK_EN# is pulled low
and DAC slews at 5mV/µs to the voltage set by the VID
pins. PGOOD is asserted high in approximately 7ms.
Similar results occur if VR_ON is tied to VDD, with the
soft-start sequence starting 120µs after VDD crosses the
POR threshold.
Figure 11 shows the typical start-up timing when the
ISL62882 is configured for GPU VR application. The
ISL62882 uses digital soft start to ramp up DAC to the

Voltage Regulation and Load Line
Implementation
After the start sequence, the ISL62882 regulates the
output voltage to the value set by the VID inputs per
Table 1. The ISL62882 will control the no-load output
voltage to an accuracy of ±0.5% over the range of
0.75V to 1.5V. A differential amplifier allows voltage
sensing for precise voltage regulation at the
microprocessor die.

FIGURE 12. DIFFERENTIAL SENSING AND LOAD LINE
IMPLEMENTATION
As the load current increases from zero, the output
voltage will droop from the VID table value by an amount
proportional to the load current to achieve the load line.
The ISL62882 can sense the inductor current through the
intrinsic DC Resistance (DCR) of the inductors as shown
in Figure 1 or through resistors in series with the
inductors as shown in Figure 2. In both methods,
capacitor Cn voltage represents the inductor total
currents. A droop amplifier converts Cn voltage into an
internal current source with the gain set by resistor Ri.
The current source is used for load line implementation,
current monitor and overcurrent protection.
Figure 12 shows the load line implementation. The
ISL62882 drives a current source Idroop out of the FB
pin, described by Equation 1.
2xV Cn
I droop = -----------------Ri
(EQ. 1)
When using inductor DCR current sensing, a single NTC
element is used to compensate the positive temperature
coefficient of the copper winding thus sustaining the load
line accuracy with reduced cost.
Idroop flows through resistor Rdroop and creates a
voltage drop as shown in Equation 2.
V droop = R droop × I droop
(EQ. 2)
Vdroop is the droop voltage required to implement load
line. Changing Rdroop or scaling Idroop can both change
the load line slope. Since Idroop also sets the overcurrent
protection level, it is recommended to first scale Idroop
based on OCP requirement, then select an appropriate
Rdroop value to obtain the desired load line slope.
Differential Sensing
Figure 12 also shows the differential voltage sensing
scheme. VCCSENSE and VSSSENSE are the remote
voltage sensing signals from the processor die. A unity
gain differential amplifier senses the VSSSENSE voltage
and add it to the DAC output. The error amplifier
regulates the inverting and the non-inverting input
voltages to be equal as shown in Equation 3:
VCC SENSE + V
droop
= V DAC + VSS SENSE
16
(EQ. 4)
The VCCSENSE and VSSSENSE signals come from the
processor die. The feedback will be open circuit in the
absence of the processor. As Figure 12 shows, it is
recommended to add a “catch” resistor to feed the VR
local output voltage back to the compensator, and add
another “catch” resistor to connect the VR local output
ground to the RTN pin. These resistors, typically
10Ω~100Ω, will provide voltage feedback if the system is
powered up without a processor installed.

FIGURE 13. CURRENT BALANCING CIRCUIT
The ISL62882 monitors individual phase average current
by monitoring the ISEN1 and ISEN2 voltages. Figure 13
shows the current balancing circuit recommended for
ISL62882. Each phase node voltage is averaged by a
low-pass filter consisting of Rs and Cs, and presented to
the corresponding ISEN pin. Rs should be routed to
inductor phase-node pad in order to eliminate the effect
of phase node parasitic PCB DCR. Equations 5 and 6 give
the ISEN pin voltages:
V ISEN1 = ( R dcr1 + R pcb1 ) × I L1
V ISEN2 = ( R dcr2 + R pcb2 ) × I L2
(EQ. 5)
(EQ. 6)
where Rdcr1 and Rdcr2 are inductor DCR; Rpcb1 and
Rpcb2 are parasitic PCB DCR between the inductor output
side pad and the output voltage rail; and IL1 and IL2 are
inductor average currents.
The ISL62882 will adjust the phase pulse-width relative
to the other phase to make VISEN1 = VISEN2, thus to
achieve IL1 = IL2, when there are Rdcr1 = Rdcr2 and
Rpcb1 = Rpcb2.
Using same components for L1 and L2 will provide a
good match of Rdcr1 and Rdcr2. Board layout will
determine Rpcb1 and Rpcb2. It is recommended to have
symmetrical layout for the power delivery path between
each inductor and the output voltage rail, such that
Rpcb1 = Rpcb2.

BALANCING CIRCUIT
Sometimes, it is difficult to implement symmetrical
layout. For the circuit Figure 13 shows, asymmetric
layout causes different Rpcb1 and Rpcb2 thus current
imbalance. Figure 14 shows a differential-sensing current
balancing circuit recommended for ISL62882. The
current sensing traces should be routed to the inductor
pads so they only pick up the inductor DCR voltage. Each
ISEN pin sees the average voltage of two sources: its
own phase inductor phase-node pad, and the other
phase inductor output side pad. Equations 7 and 8 give
the ISEN pin voltages:
V ISEN1 = V 1p + V 2n
(EQ. 7)
V ISEN2 = V 2p + V 1n
(EQ. 8)
REP RATE = 50kHz
The ISL62882 will make VISEN1 = VISEN2. So there are:
V 1p + V 2n = V 2p + V 1n
(EQ. 9)
REP RATE = 100kHz
Rewriting Equation 9 gives:
V 1p – V 1n = V 2p – V 2n
(EQ. 10)
Therefore:
R dcr1 × I L1 = R dcr2 × I L2
(EQ. 11)
Current balancing (IL1 = IL2) will be achieved when there
is Rdcr1 = Rdcr2. Rpcb1 and Rpcb2 will not have any
effect.
Since the slave ripple capacitor voltages mimic the
inductor currents, R3™ modulator can naturally achieve
excellent current balancing during steady state and
dynamic operations. Figure 15 shows current balancing
performance of the ISL62882 evaluation board with load
transient of 15A/50A at different rep rates. The inductor
currents follow the load current dynamic change with the
output capacitors supplying the difference. The inductor
currents can track the load current well at a low rep rate,
but cannot keep up when the rep rate gets into the
hundred-kHz range, where it’s out of the control loop
bandwidth. The controller achieves excellent current
balancing in all cases.

CCM Switching Frequency
The Rfset resistor between the COMP and the VW pins
sets the VW windows size, therefore sets the switching
frequency. When the ISL62882 is in continuous
conduction mode (CCM), the switching frequency is not
absolutely constant due to the nature of the R3™
modulator. As explained in the “Multiphase R3™
Modulator” on page 12, the effective switching frequency
will increase during load insertion and will decrease
during load release to achieve fast response. On the
other hand, the switching frequency is relatively constant
at steady state. Variation is expected when the power
stage condition, such as input voltage, output voltage,
load, etc. changes. The variation is usually less than 15%
and doesn’t have any significant effect on output voltage
ripple magnitude. Equation 12 gives an estimate of the
frequency-setting resistor Rfset value. 8kΩ Rfset gives
approximately 300kHz switching frequency. Lower
resistance gives higher switching frequency.

The ISL62882 can be configured for 2- or 1-phase
operation.
For 1-phase configuration, tie the ISEN2 pin to 5V. In this
configuration, only phase-1 is active.
Table 2 shows the ISL62882 configurations, programmed
by the ISEN2 pin status and the Rbias value.
If the ISEN2 pin is connected to the power stage, the
ISL62882 is in 2-phase CPU VR configuration.
Rbias = 147kΩ disables the overshoot reduction function
and Rbias = 47kΩ enables it.
18
If ISEN2 is tied to 5V, the ISL62882 is configured for
1-phase operation. Rbias = 147kΩ sets 1-phase CPU VR
configuration and Rbias=47kΩ sets 1-phase GPU
configuration.
Table 3 shows the ISL62882 operational modes,
programmed by the logic status of the PSI# and
DPRSLPVR pins.
In 2-phase configuration, the ISL62882 enters 1-phase
CCM for (PSI# = 0 and DPRSLPVR = 0). It drops phase 2
and reduces the overcurrent and the way-overcurrent
protection levels to 1/2 of the initial values. The
ISL62882 enters 1-phase DE mode when DPRSLPVR = 1
by dropping phase 2.
In 1-phase configuration, the ISL62882 does not change
the operational mode when the PSI# signal changes
status. It enters 1-phase DE mode when
DLPRSLPVR = 1.
Dynamic Operation
When the ISL62882 is configured for CPU VR application,
it responds to VID changes by slewing to the new voltage
at 5mV/µs slew rate. As the output approaches the VID
command voltage, the dv/dt moderates to prevent
overshoot. Geyserville-III transitions commands one LSB
VID step (12.5mV) every 2.5µs, controlling the effective
dv/dt at 5mv/µs. The ISL62882 is capable of 5mV/µs
slew rate.
When the ISL62882 is configured for GPU VR application,
it responds to VID changes by slewing to the new voltage
at a slew rate set by the logic status on the DPRSLPVR
pin. The slew rate is 5mV/µs when DPRSLPVR=0 and is
doubled when DPRSLPVR = 1.
When the ISL62882 is in DE mode, it will actively drive
the output voltage up when the VID changes to a higher
value. It’ll resume DE mode operation after reaching the
new voltage level. If the load is light enough to warrant
DCM, it will enter DCM after the inductor current has
crossed zero for four consecutive cycles. The ISL62882
will remain in DE mode when the VID changes to a lower
value. The output voltage will decay to the new value and
the load will determine the slew rate. Over-voltage
protection is blanked during VID down transition in DE
mode until the output voltage is within 60mV of the VID
value.
During load insertion response, the Fast Clock function
increases the PWM pulse response speed. The ISL62882
monitors the VSEN pin voltage and compares it to
100ns-filtered version. When the unfiltered version is
20mV below the filtered version, the controller knows
there is a fast voltage dip due to load insertion, hence
issues an additional master clock signal to deliver a PWM
pulse immediately.
The R3™ modulator intrinsically has voltage feedforward. The output voltage is insensitive to a fast slew
rate input voltage change.

Protections
The ISL62882 provides overcurrent, current-balance,
undervoltage, overvoltage, and over-temperature
protections.
The ISL62882 determines overcurrent protection (OCP)
by comparing the average value of the droop current
Idroop with an internal current source threshold. It
declares OCP when Idroop is above the threshold for
120µs. A resistor Rcomp from the COMP pin to GND
programs the OCP current source threshold, as well as
the overshoot reduction function in 1-phase
configuration, as Table 4 shows. It is recommended to
use the nominal Rcomp value. The ISL62882 detects the
Rcomp value at the beginning of start-up, and sets the
internal OCP threshold accordingly. It remembers the
Rcomp value until the VR_ON signal drops below the
POR threshold.

The ISL62882 takes the same actions for all of the above
fault protections: de-assertion of PGOOD and turn-off of
the high-side and low-side power MOSFETs. Any residual
inductor current will decay through the MOSFET body
diodes. These fault conditions can be reset by bringing
VR_ON low or by bringing VDD below the POR threshold.
When VR_ON and VDD return to their high operating
levels, a soft-start will occur.
The second level of overvoltage protection is different.
If the output voltage exceeds 1.55V, the ISL62882 will
immediately declare an OV fault, de-assert PGOOD, and
turn on the low-side power MOSFETs. The low-side
power MOSFETs remain on until the output voltage is
pulled down below 0.85V when all power MOSFETs are
turned off. If the output voltage rises above 1.55V
again, the protection process is repeated. This behavior
provides the maximum amount of protection against
shorted high-side power MOSFETs while preventing
output ringing below ground. Resetting VR_ON cannot
clear the 1.55V OVP. Only resetting VDD will clear it. The
1.55V OVP is active all the time when the controller is
enabled, even if one of the other faults have been
declared. This ensures that the processor is protected
against high-side power MOSFET leakage while the
MOSFETs are commanded off.

The ISL62882 has a thermal throttling feature. If the
voltage on the NTC pin goes below the 1.18V OT
threshold, the VR_TT# pin is pulled low indicating the
need for thermal throttling to the system. No other

The default OCP threshold is the value when Rcomp is not
populated. It is recommended to scale the droop current
Idroop such that the default OCP threshold gives
approximately the desired OCP level, then use Rcomp to
fine tune the OCP level if necessary.
For overcurrent conditions above 2.5x the OCP level, the
PWM outputs will immediately shut off and PGOOD will
go low to maximize protection. This protection is also
referred to as way-overcurrent protection or fastovercurrent protection, for short-circuit protections.
The ISL62882 monitors the ISEN pin voltages to
determine current-balance protection. If the ISEN pin
voltage difference is greater than 9mV for 1ms, the
controller will declare a fault and latch off.

The IMON pin voltage range is 0V to 1.1V. A clamp circuit
prevents the IMON pin voltage from going above 1.1V.
compares it with a threshold to determine the
zero-crossing point of the inductor current. If the
inductor current has not reached zero when the low-side
MOSFET turns off, it’ll flow through the low-side MOSFET
body diode, causing the phase node to have a larger
voltage drop until it decays to zero. If the inductor
current has crossed zero and reversed the direction when
the low-side MOSFET turns off, it’ll flow through the highside MOSFET body diode, causing the phase node to
have a spike until it decays to zero. The controller
continues monitoring the phase voltage after turning off
the low-side MOSFET and adjusts the phase comparator
threshold voltage accordingly in iterative steps such that
the low-side MOSFET body diode conducts for
approximately 40ns to minimize the body diode-related
loss.
FB2 Function
Overshoot Reduction Function
The FB2 function is only available when the ISL62882 is
in 2-phase configuration.
The ISL62882 has an optional overshoot reduction
function. Tables 2 and 4 show to enable and disable it.
The ISL62882 provides the current monitor function. The
IMON pin outputs a high-speed analog current source
that is 3 times of the droop current flowing out of the FB
pin. Thus Equation 13:
I IMON = 3 × I droop
(EQ. 13)
As Figures 1 and 2 show, a resistor Rimon is connected to
the IMON pin to convert the IMON pin current to voltage.
A capacitor can be paralleled with Rimon to filter the
voltage information. The IMVP-6.5™ specification
requires that the IMON voltage information be referenced
to VSSSENSE.

FIGURE 16. FB2 FUNCTION IN 2-PHASE MODE
Figure 16 shows the FB2 function. A switch (called FB2
switch) turns on to short the FB and the FB2 pins when
the controller is in 2-phase mode. Capacitors C3.1 and
C3.2 are in parallel, serving as part of the compensator.
When the controller enters 1-phase mode, the FB2
switch turns off, removing C3.2 and leaving only C3.1 in
the compensator. The compensator gain will increase
with the removal of C3.2. By properly sizing C3.1 and
C3.2, the compensator cab be optimal for both 2-phase
mode and 1-phase mode.
When the FB2 switch is off, C3.2 is disconnected from the
FB pin. However, the controller still actively drives the
FB2 pin voltage to follow the FB pin voltage such that
C3.2 voltage always follows C3.1 voltage. When the
controller turns on the FB2 switch, C3.2 will be
reconnected to the compensator smoothly.
The FB2 function ensures excellent transient response in
both 2-phase mode and 1-phase mode. If one decides
not to use the FB2 function, simply populate C3.1 only.
Adaptive Body Diode Conduction Time
Reduction
In DCM, the controller turns off the low-side MOSFET
when the inductor current approaches zero. During ontime of the low-side MOSFET, phase voltage is negative
and the amount is the MOSFET rDS(ON) voltage drop,
which is proportional to the inductor current. A phase
comparator inside the controller monitors the phase
voltage during on-time of the low-side MOSFET and
20
When a load release occurs, the energy stored in the
inductors will dump to the output capacitor, causing
output voltage overshoot. The inductor current
freewheels through the low-side MOSFET during this
period of time. The overshoot reduction function turns off
the low-side MOSFET during the output voltage
overshoot, forcing the inductor current to freewheel
through the low-side MOSFET body diode. Since the body
diode voltage drop is much higher than MOSFET Rdson
voltage drop, more energy is dissipated on the low-side
MOSFET therefore the output voltage overshoot is lower.
If the overshoot reduction function is enabled, the
ISL62882 monitors the COMP pin voltage to determine
the output voltage overshoot condition. The COMP
voltage will fall and hit the clamp voltage when the
output voltage overshoots. The ISL62882 will turn off
LGATE1 and LGATE2 when COMP is being clamped. All
the low-side MOSFETs in the power stage will be turned
off. When the output voltage has reached its peak and
starts to come down, the COMP voltage starts to rise and
is no longer clamped. The ISL62882 will resume normal
PWM operation.
When PSI# is low, indicating a low power state of the
CPU, the controller will disable the overshoot reduction
function as large magnitude transient event is not
expected and overshoot is not a concern.
While the overshoot reduction function reduces the
output voltage overshoot, energy is dissipated on the
low-side MOSFET, causing additional power loss. The
more frequent transient event, the more power loss
dissipated on the low-side MOSFET. The MOSFET may
face severe thermal stress when transient events
happen at a high repetitive rate. User discretion is
advised when this function is enabled.

Key Component Selection
RBIAS
The ISL62882 uses a resistor (1% or better tolerance is
recommended) from the RBIAS pin to GND to establish
highly accurate reference current sources inside the IC.
Refer to Table 2 to select the resistance according to
desired configuration. Do not connect any other
components to this pin. Do not connect any capacitor to
the RBIAS pin as it will create instability.
Care should be taken in layout that the resistor is placed
very close to the RBIAS pin and that a good quality signal
ground is connected to the opposite side of the RBIAS
resistor.
Ris and Cis
As Figures 1 thru 4 show, the ISL62882 needs the Ris
- Cis network across the ISUM+ and the ISUM- pins to
stabilize the droop amplifier. The preferred values are
Ris = 82.5Ω and Cis = 0.01µF. Slight deviations from the
recommended values are acceptable. Large deviations
may result in instability.

Figure 17 shows the inductor DCR current-sensing
network for a 2-phase solution. An inductor current flows
through the DCR and creates a voltage drop. Each
inductor has two resistors in Rsum and Ro connected to
the pads to accurately sense the inductor current by
sensing the DCR voltage drop. The Rsum and Ro resistors
are connected in a summing network as shown, and feed
the total current information to the NTC network
(consisting of Rntcs, Rntc and Rp) and capacitor Cn. Rntc
is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor,
used to temperature-compensate the inductor DCR
change.
The inductor output side pads are electrically shorted in
the schematic, but have some parasitic impedance in

The summed inductor current information is presented to
the capacitor Cn. Equations 14 thru 18 describe the
frequency-domain relationship between inductor total
current Io(s) and Cn voltage VCn(s).

actual board layout, which is why one cannot simply
short them together for the current-sensing summing
network. It is recommended to use 1Ω~10Ω Ro to create
quality signals. Since Ro value is much smaller than the
rest of the current sensing circuit, the following analysis
will ignore it for simplicity.
Transfer function Acs(s) always has unity gain at DC. The
inductor DCR value increases as the winding temperature
increases, giving higher reading of the inductor DC
current. The NTC Rntc values decreases as its
temperature decreases. Proper selections of Rsum, Rntcs,
Rp and Rntc parameters ensure that VCn represent the
inductor total DC current over the temperature range of
interest.
There are many sets of parameters that can properly
temperature-compensate the DCR change. Since the
NTC network and the Rsum resistors form a voltage
divider, Vcn is always a fraction of the inductor DCR
voltage. It is recommended to have a higher ratio of Vcn
to the inductor DCR voltage, so the droop circuit has
higher signal level to work with.
A typical set of parameters that provide good
temperature compensation are: Rsum = 3.65kΩ, Rp =
11kΩ, Rntcs = 2.61kΩ and Rntc = 10kΩ (ERT-J1VR103J).
The NTC network parameters may need to be fine tuned
on actual boards. One can apply full load DC current
and record the output voltage reading immediately;
then record the output voltage reading again when the
board has reached the thermal steady state. A good
NTC network can limit the output voltage drift to within
2mV. It is recommended to follow the Intersil evaluation

board layout and current-sensing network parameters
to minimize engineering time.
VCn(s) also needs to represent real-time Io(s) for the
controller to achieve good transient response. Transfer
function Acs(s) has a pole ωsns and a zero ωL. One needs
to match ωL and ωsns so Acs(s) is unity gain at all
frequencies. By forcing ωL equal to ωsns and solving for the
solution, Equation 19 gives Cn value.

reliability.

Assuming the compensator design is correct, Figure 18

if Cn is correctly selected. When the load current Icore
has a square change, the output voltage Vcore also has
a square response.
If Cn value is too large or too small, VCn(s) will not

transient response. Figure 19 shows the load transient

FIGURE 22. OPTIONAL CIRCUITS FOR RING BACK
REDUCTION
Figure 21 shows the output voltage ring back problem
during load transient response. The load current io has a
fast step change, but the inductor current iL cannot
accurately follow. Instead, iL responds in first order
system fashion due to the nature of current loop. The
ESR and ESL effect of the output capacitors makes the
output voltage Vo dip quickly upon load current change.
However, the controller regulates Vo according to the
droop current idroop, which is a real-time representation
of iL; therefore it pulls Vo back to the level dictated by iL,
causing the ring back problem. This phenomenon is not
observed when the output capacitor have very low ESR
and ESL, such as all ceramic capacitors.
Figure 22 shows two optional circuits for reduction of the
ring back.
Cn is the capacitor used to match the inductor time
constant. It usually takes the parallel of two (or more)
capacitors to get the desired value. Figure 22 shows that
two capacitors Cn.1 and Cn.2 are in parallel. Resistor Rn is
an optional component to reduce the Vo ring back. At
steady state, Cn.1 + Cn.2 provides the desired Cn
FN6890.2

ISL62882, ISL62882B
capacitance. At the beginning of io change, the effective
capacitance is less because Rn increases the impedance
of the Cn.1 branch. As Figure 19 explains, Vo tends to dip
when Cn is too small, and this effect will reduce the Vo
ring back. This effect is more pronounced when Cn.1 is
much larger than Cn.2. It is also more pronounced when
Rn is bigger. However, the presence of Rn increases the
ripple of the Vn signal if Cn.2 is too small. It is
recommended to keep Cn.2 greater than 2200pF. Rn
value usually is a few ohms. Cn.1, Cn.2 and Rn values
should be determined through tuning the load transient
response waveforms on an actual board.
Rip and Cip form an R-C branch in parallel with Ri,
providing a lower impedance path than Ri at the
beginning of io change. Rip and Cip do not have any
effect at steady state. Through proper selection of Rip
and Cip values, idroop can resemble io rather than iL, and
Vo will not ring back. The recommended value for Rip is
100Ω. Cip should be determined through tuning the load
transient response waveforms on an actual board. The
recommended range for Cip is 100pF~2000pF. However,
it should be noted that the Rip -Cip branch may distort
the idroop waveform. Instead of being triangular as the
real inductor current, idroop may have sharp spikes,
which may adversely affect idroop average value
detection and therefore may affect OCP accuracy. User
discretion is advised.

Current-sensing resistor Rsen value will not have

The recommended values are Rsum = 1kΩ and
Cn = 5600pF.
Overcurrent Protection
Refer to Equation 1 on page 16 and Figures 12, 17 and
23; resistor Ri sets the droop current Idroop. Table 4
shows the internal OCP threshold. It is recommended to
design Idroop without using the Rcomp resistor.
For example, the OCP threshold is 40µA for 2-phase
solution. We will design Idroop to be 34.3µA at full load,
so the OCP trip level is 1.16x of the full load current.
For inductor DCR sensing, Equation 23 gives the DC
relationship of Vcn(s) and Io(s).

Rsen = 1mΩ, Iomax = 51A and Idroopmax = 34.3µA,
Equation 30 gives Ri = 1.487kΩ.
A resistor from COMP to GND can adjust the internal OCP
threshold, providing another dimension of fine-tune
flexibility. Table 4 shows the detail. It is recommended to
scale Idroop such that the default OCP threshold gives
approximately the desired OCP level, then use Rcomp to
fine tune the OCP level if necessary.

For example, given LL = 1.9mΩ, Rdroop = 2.825kΩ,
VRimon = 963mV at Iomax = 51A, Equation 37 gives
Rimon = 9.358kΩ.
A capacitor Cimon can be paralleled with Rimon to filter
the IMON pin voltage. The RimonCimon time constant is
the user’s choice. It is recommended to have a time
constant long enough such that switching frequency
ripples are removed.
Compensator
Figure 18 shows the desired load transient response
waveforms. Figure 24 shows the equivalent circuit of a
voltage regulator (VR) with the droop function. A VR is
equivalent to a voltage source (= VID) and output
impedance Zout(s). If Zout(s) is equal to the load line
slope LL, i.e. constant output impedance, in the entire
frequency range, Vo will have square response when Io
has a square change.

One can use the full load condition to calculate Rdroop.
For example, given Iomax = 51A, Idroopmax = 34.3µA
and LL = 1.9mΩ, Equation 33 gives Rdroop = 2.825kΩ.
It is recommended to start with the Rdroop value
calculated by Equation 33, and fine tune it on the actual
board to get accurate load line slope. One should record
the output voltage readings at no load and at full load for
load line slope calculation. Reading the output voltage at
lighter load instead of full load will increase the
measurement error.

A VR with active droop function is a dual-loop system
consisting of a voltage loop and a droop loop which is a
current loop. However, neither loop alone is sufficient to
describe the entire system. The spreadsheet shows two
loop gain transfer functions, T1(s) and T2(s), that
describe the entire system. Figure 25 conceptually
shows T1(s) measurement set-up and Figure 26
conceptually shows T2(s) measurement set-up. The VR
senses the inductor current, multiplies it by a gain of
the load line slope, then adds it on top of the sensed
output voltage and feeds it to the compensator. T(1) is
measured after the summing node, and T2(s) is
measured in the voltage loop before the summing node.
The spreadsheet gives both T1(s) and T2(s) plots.
However, only T2(s) can be actually measured on an
ISL62882 regulator.
T1(s) is the total loop gain of the voltage loop and the
droop loop. It always has a higher crossover frequency
than T2(s) and has more meaning of system stability.

CIRCUIT FOR1-TICK VID TRANSITION
During a large VID transition, the DAC steps through the
VIDs at a controlled slew rate. For example, the DAC
may change a tick (12.5mV) per 2.5µs per, controlling
output voltage Vcore slew rate at 5mV/µs.
Figure 28 shows the waveforms of 1-tick VID transition.
During 1-tick VID transition, the DAC output changes at
approximately 15mV/µs slew rate, but the DAC cannot
step through multiple VIDs to control the slew rate.
Instead, the control loop response speed determines
Vcore slew rate. Ideally, Vcore will follow the FB pin
voltage slew rate. However, the controller senses the
inductor current increase during the up transition, as the
Idroop_vid waveform shows, and will droop the output
voltage Vcore accordingly, making Vcore slew rate slow.
Similar behavior occurs during the down transition.

It’s recommended to select the calculated Rvid value and
start with the calculated Cvid value and tweak it on the
actual board to get the best performance.
During normal transient response, the FB pin voltage is
held constant, therefore is virtual ground in small signal
sense. The Rvid - Cvid network is between the virtual
ground and the real ground, and hence has no effect on
transient response.

should be used.

At +105°C, 470kΩ NTC resistance becomes
(0.03322 × 470kΩ) = 15.6kΩ. With 60µA on the NTC pin,
the voltage is only (15.6kΩ × 60µA) = 0.937V. This value
is much lower than the threshold voltage of 1.20V.
Therefore, a regular resistor needs to be in series with
the NTC. The required resistance can be calculated by
Equation 46:
1.20V
---------------- – 15.6kΩ = 4.4kΩ

FIGURE 29. CIRCUITRY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
THERMAL THROTTLING FEATURE OF THE
ISL62882
Figure 29 shows the thermal throttling feature with
hysteresis. An NTC network is connected between the
NTC pin and GND. At low temperature, SW1 is on and
SW2 connects to the 1.20V side. The total current
flowing out of the NTC pin is 60µA. The voltage on NTC
pin is higher than threshold voltage of 1.20V and the
comparator output is low. VR_TT# is pulled up by the
external resistor.
When temperature increases, the NTC thermistor
resistance decreases so the NTC pin voltage drops. When
the NTC pin voltage drops below 1.20V, the comparator
changes polarity and turns SW1 off and throws SW2 to
1.24V. This pulls VR_TT# low and sends the signal to
start thermal throttle. There is a 6µA current reduction
on NTC pin and 40mV voltage increase on threshold
voltage of the comparator in this state. The VR_TT#
signal will be used to change the CPU operation and
decrease the power consumption. When the temperature
drops down, the NTC thermistor voltage will go up. If
NTC voltage increases to above 1.24V, the comparator
will flip back. The external resistance difference in these
two conditions is shown in Equation 44:
1.24V 1.20V
---------------- – ---------------- = 2.96k
54μA 60μA
(EQ. 44)
One needs to properly select the NTC thermistor value
such that the required temperature hysteresis
correlates to 2.96kΩ resistance change. A regular
resistor may need to be in series with the NTC
thermistor to meet the threshold voltage values.
For example, given Panasonic NTC thermistor with
B = 4700, the resistance will drop to 0.03322 of its
nominal at +105°C, and drop to 0.03956 of its nominal
at +100°C. If the required temperature hysteresis is
+105°C to +100°C, the required resistance of NTC will
be as shown in Equation 45:
2.96kΩ
------------------------------------------------------ = 467kΩ
( 0.03956 – 0.03322 )
28
(EQ. 45)
(EQ. 46)
4.42k is a standard resistor value. Therefore, the NTC
branch should have a 470k NTC and 4.42k resistor in
series. The part number for the NTC thermistor is
ERTJ0EV474J. It is a 0402 package. NTC thermistor will
be placed in the hot spot of the board.
Current Balancing
Refer to Figures 1 and 2. The ISL62882 achieves current
balancing through matching the ISEN pin voltages. Rs
and Cs form filters to remove the switching ripple of the
phase node voltages. It is recommended to use rather
long RsCs time constant such that the ISEN voltages
have minimal ripple and represent the DC current flowing
through the inductors. Recommended values are
Rs = 10kΩ and Cs = 0.22µF.
Layout Guidelines
Table 6 shows the layout considerations. The designators
refer to the reference design shown in Figure 31.

Place the current sensing circuit in general

Place C82 very close to the controller.
Place NTC thermistors R42 next to phase1 inductor (L1) so it senses the inductor
temperature correctly.
Each phase of the power stage sends a pair
of VSUM+ and VSUM- signals to the
controller. Run these two signals traces in
parallel fashion with decent width
(>20mil).
IMPORTANT: Sense the inductor current by
routing the sensing circuit to the inductor
pads.
Route R63 and R71 to the phase-1 side
pad of inductor L1. Route R88 to the
output side pad of inductor L1.
Route R65 and R72 to the phase-2 side
pad of inductor L2. Route R90 to the
output side pad of inductor L2.
If possible, route the traces on a different
layer from the inductor pad layer and use
vias to connect the traces to the center of
the pads. If no via is allowed on the pad,
consider routing the traces into the pads
from the inside of the inductor. The
following drawings show the two preferred
ways of routing current sensing traces.

DATE
REVISION
CHANGE
12/3/09
FN6890.2
Removed ISL62882A device from data sheet.
11/4/09
FN6890.2
Converted to new Intersil template. On page 19, Modes of Operation section last paragraph
Changed from "Rbias = 147kohm enables the overshoot reduction function and Rbias =
47kohm disables it" to "Rbias = 147kohm disables the overshoot reduction function and Rbias
= 47kohm enables it". Applied Intersil Standards as follows: Ordering information with notes
and links, Added bold verbiage to Electrical spec conditions for over-temp and bolded min and
max value columns. Pin Descriptions placed in Table.
8/24/09
FN6890.1
8/18/09 - See attached .doc file for changes.
7/10/09: Updated Figures 1, 2, 10, 11 and 27. Per Jia, “All the drawings have updated the way
ISEN capacitors are connected. They used to be connected to from ISEN to GND, now they are
connected from ISEN to Vo. It’s an application patch that helps to avoid false IBAL fault during
phase dropping due to an IC design error.”
Changed “GND” to “VSUM-“ for pins 10 and 11 in table 5. Pin 10 now reads “A capacitor (C9)
decouples it to VSUM-. Place it in general proximity of the controller.” Pin 11 now reads “A
capacitor (C10) decouples it to VSUM-. Place it in general proximity of the controller.”
___________________________________
5/19/09: Changed under Recommended Operating Conditions- Battery Voltage VIN from "+5V
to 21V" to "+5V to 25V"
