Introduction
ISL6327EVAL5 VRD Reference Design
Today’s microprocessors are continuing towards higher
power consumption and functionality. Vcore regulators have
the burden of increasing load demands coupled with tighter
voltage regulation requirements. Power designers are
challenged with the design of high performance regulators
that can meet tight load regulation windows with increasing
maximum load and transient requirements and falling output
voltages. Add to that the push for higher efficiency solutions
and decreasing PCB real estate; meeting today’s
microprocessor power requirements is no simple task.
The evaluation kit consists of the ISL6327EVAL5 evaluation
board, the ISL6327 datasheet, and this application note. The
evaluation board is designed to meet the output voltage and
current specifications shown in Table 1, with the VID DIP
switches, SW2, set to 00101010 (1.35V).
Intersil ISL6327 With Coupled Inductors
Load Line Slope
To help meet these design challenges Intersil offers a
complete reference design and evaluation package that
takes advantage of the features of the ISL6327 controller
and an output filter topology using coupled inductors and
fewer output capacitors.
Continuous Load Current
130A
Load Current Step
100A
The ISL6327 controls a microprocessor core voltage,
balances channel currents, and provides protective features
for up to 6 synchronous buck channels in parallel. The
controller uses a 8-bit DAC giving the user a digital interface
to select the output voltage, which is precisely regulated to
±0.5% accuracy using differential remote voltage sensing.
The DAC can be set up to read VR10 or VR11 VID codes.
Other features of the controller include overcurrent,
overvoltage, and undervoltage protection, internal over
temperature protection, programmable output voltage offset,
dynamic VID circuitry, and an IOUT pin that provides a
voltage proportional to the load current.
To meet the extremely fast load transients of
microprocessors the ISL6327 utilizes Intersil’s proprietary
Active Pulse Positioning (APATM) and Adaptive Phase
Alignment (APATM) modulation scheme and continuous
current sensing to achieve extremely fast load transient
response with fewer output capacitors.
‘Coupled’ with the fast control scheme a new approach to
the output filter can be implement using coupled inductors.
Coupling of two phases on one core allows the use of a
small output inductance for fast transient response without
taking the hit in efficiency due to higher individual phase
peak-to-peak current for an equivalent standard inductance.
The ISL6327 and ISL6609 datasheets along with the latest

The board is configured for down conversion from 12V to the
DAC setting. The evaluation board provides many test
points, two types of power supply connectors, an on-board
LGA775/771 socket for transient response evaluation and
terminal connectors for DC load testing. An on-board LED is
present to indicate the status of the PGOOD signal.
The printed circuit board is implemented in 6-layer, 1-ounce
copper. The layout and stackup are designed to emulate a
real world CPU/VCORE implementation. The board
schematic and BOM is provided at the end of the application
note.
Quick Start Evaluation
The ISL6327EVAL5 is designed for quick start-up and
evaluation. All that is required is a single ATX power supply.
To begin evaluating the ISL6327EVAL5 follow the steps
below.
1. Before doing anything to the evaluation board, make sure
the “Enable” switch (EN1) is in the OFF position.
2. Using an ATX power supply, connect the 24-pin main
power supply header to the “5V Power” connector
(5V_PWR1) on the board. Next connect the 4-pin 12V
header to the “12V Power” connector (12V_PWR1) on
the board.
3. Set the “Static VID” DIP switch (SW2) to 00101010
(VID7:0 as printed on the silkscreen).Set SW1 to 0001.
4. Move the “Enable” switch (S1) to the ON position to begin
regulation.
After step 4, the ISL6327EVAL5 should be regulating the
output voltage. The test points “TPVCORE1” and “TPGND1”
can be used to monitor the output voltage initially to verify
regulation.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.

ISL6327EVAL5 Board Features
Input Power Connections
The ISL6327EVAL5 includes two different methods for
powering up the board. The first method allows for the use of
an ATX power supply. The 24-pin header, 5V_PWR1, allows
for the connection of the main ATX power connector, while
the 4-pin header, 12V_PWR1, connects the 12V AUX power.
It is very important that both connections are secure and the
EN1 switch is in the OFF position before switching on the
ATX supply.
The second method of powering the ISL6327EVAL5 board is
with bench power supplies. Four female banana jacks are
provided for connecting bench-top supplies. A +5V, 1A and
+12V, 20A supply will be needed for full evaluation. Connect
the +5V terminal to the 5V1 jack and the +5V GND terminal
to 5V_GND1. Connect the +12V terminal to 12V1 and the
+12V GND terminal to 12V_GND1. Voltage sequencing is
not required when powering the evaluation board.
The VTT must also be powered with +5V and +12V at the
4-pin power input connector. Refer to your VTT users guide
and software for details on exact test setup and software
use.
VID Setting
The VID input on the ISL6327EVAL5 can be set by using the
on board SW2 DIP switch. The switches are labeled VID7 to
VID0. Or the VID can be controlled through the VTT
software. To select which method controls the VID pins of
the ISL6327 the jumpers J_VID7 to J_VID0 need to be
placed accordingly.
For VTT control of the VID, place the jumper hats on pins 1
and 2 of the 3-pin connector for J_VID7 - J_VID0. The 4th
switch on SW1 should also be switched to VTT (labeled on
the PCB silk-screen).
To allow the DIP switches to control the VID move switch 4
of SW1 DIP switch to DEMO and move the jumper hats to
pins 2 and 3 of J_VID7 to JVID_0.
Once power is applied to the board, the PGOOD LED
indicator will illuminate red. With EN1 in the OFF position,
the ENABLE input of the ISL6327 is held low and the startup sequence is inhibited.
The VID DIP switches should be preset to 00101010 (1.35V
with 20mV offset). If another output voltage level is desired,
refer to the ISL6327 datasheet for the complete DAC table
and change the VID switches accordingly.
Output DC Power Connections
Both VR10 and VR11 VID codes can be used with the
ISL6327EVAL5. To use VR11 move switch 1 of SW1 DIP
switch towards VR11. To use VR10 move switch 1 of SW1
towards VR10.
The ISL6327EVAL5 output can be exercised using a DC
electronic load through the output terminal lugs labeled
VCORE1 and GND1. Tie the positive load connection to
VCORE1 and the negative load connection to GND1. A
shielded scope probe test point, TP1, allows for inspection of
the output voltage, VCORE. This probe is connected to
VSENSE through 0Ω resistors on the back of the PCB
labeled VTT_R1 and VTT_R2.
LGA775/771 VTT Evaluation
To fully exercise the regulation of the ISL6327EVAL5 a
LGA775/771 VTT is needed. A LGA775/771 VTT socket is
populated on the PCB. To ensure the ISL6327 regulates to
the die sense location on the VTT, 0Ω resistors are
populated on the back side of the PCB labeled R40 and
R42. These must be populated for correct voltage
measurements when using the VTT.
After inserting the interposer and VTT in the LGA775/771
socket a differential voltage probe should be connected to
the VCC-REG-N/VSS-REG-N connector for voltage
monitoring and the AMP and GND connector for load
measurements.
Enabling the Controller
In order to enable the controller, the board must be powered
and a VID code must be set. If these steps have been
properly followed, the regulator is enabled by toggling the
“ENABLE” switch (EN1) to the ON position. When EN1 is
switched, the voltage on the EN pin of the ISL6327 will rise
above the ENLL threshold and the controller will begin the
soft start sequence. The output voltage ramps up to the
programmed VID setting, at which time the PGOOD
indicator will switch from red to green.
Signal Test Points
There are many test points available on the ISL6327EVAL5
for monitoring of key signals. Monitoring test points include,
VR_HOT and VR_RDY for monitoring the temperature
FAULT outputs, OFS, IOUT, DAC, REF, COMP, EN, and
DAC for monitoring control waveforms. There are also test
points for monitoring VIN (VIN1 and VIN2) and VOUT
(TPVCORE1 and TPGND1).
For accurate measurements with the differential probes you
must make sure that the ground terminal of your
oscilloscope is connected to the ground plane of the
ISL6327EVAL5. An easy way to do this is use a wire to
connect the GND terminal of the scope to one of the GND
test points on the ISL6327EVAL5 (TP10 for example).

Component Selection With Coupled
Inductors
There are many parameters of the operation of the ISL6327
that can be modified and tested using the ISL6327EVAL5
evaluation board. Many control signals can also be
monitored through on-board test points. For detailed theory
of operation and component selection guidelines for the
ISL6327 please refer to the ISL6327 datasheet available on
the web at www.intersil.com.
Key parameters that will be selected differently or otherwise
impacted in the case where coupled inductors are used in
the output filter are feedback compensation, DCR sense
time constant, current sense resistor, droop control, and
overcurrent set point. How to select these components will
be covered in this section.
PWM Modulation Scheme and Continuous Current
Sense
The ISL6327 adopts Intersil's proprietary Active Pulse
Positioning (APP) modulation scheme to improve transient
performance. APP control is a unique dual-edge PWM
modulation scheme with both PWM leading and trailing
edges being independently moved to provide the best
response to transient loads. The PWM frequency, however,
is constant and set by the external resistor between the FS
pin and GND.
To further improve the transient response, the ISL6327 also
implements Intersil's proprietary Adaptive Phase Alignment
(APA) technique. APA, with sufficiently large load step
currents, can turn on all phases simultaneously.
With both APP and APA control, ISL6327 can achieve
excellent transient performance and reduce the demand on
the output capacitors.
Under steady state conditions the operation of the ISL6327
PWM modulator appears to be that of a conventional trailing
edge modulator. Conventional analysis and design methods
can therefore be used for steady state and small signal
operation.
The ISL6327 senses current continuously (no sample-andhold) on each channel for fast response to changes in
inductor current.
Continuous current sensing, APA and APP allow for very
high bandwidth response to a load transient events.
Coupled Inductor Details
To further take advantage of the control and sensing features
of the ISL6327 the use of coupled inductors in the output
filter can be implemented. Coupling 2 phases on a single
inductor core allows a reduction in phase inductance for fast
transient response without the hit in efficiency due to larger
phase ripple currents with an equivalent standard inductor.
3
With a standard single winding inductor the current
waveform is dependant on the voltage at the two terminals of
the inductor. The peak-to-peak ripple current in a
synchronous buck application is determined by Equation 1.
( V IN – V OUT ) V OUT
I PPsi = --------------------------------------------------------L fS V
IN
(EQ. 1)
where VIN is the input voltage, VOUT is the output voltage, L
is the standard inductance value, and fS is the switching
frequency.
The total output ripple current is determined by the sum of all
of the phase currents and its magnitude is reduced by the
interleaving of N number of phases.
( V IN – N V OUT ) V OUT
I TotalPPsi = ---------------------------------------------------------------L fS V
IN
(EQ. 2)
For a given Vin, Vout and fs, both the channel and total
ripple current are determined by L, the standard inductance
of each phase.
For the case where there are two inductors coupled on one
core, each providing the inductance for one phase in a
synchronous buck converter, the ripple current for a single
phase is now dependant on the voltages across both
inductors as well as the magnetic properties of the coupled
inductor.
Consider the two phase coupled inductor drawn in Figure 1.

positive current slew rate so will the coupled PHASE. Figure 1

AN1268.0
October 26, 2010
Application Note 1268
The equation for peak-to-peak ripple current and total output
ripple current are dependent on the magnetic properties of
the coupled inductor.
With these equations it can be determined that the output
current waveform and therefore the transient response is
determined by:
The two winding coupled inductor is essentially a transformer.
Like any transformer it will have a specified winding ratio,
winding inductance (or self inductance, L), and mutual
inductance (LM). Parasitics will include leakage inductance
(LLK) and winding resistance (DCR). All these parameters
must be considered in optimizing the coupled inductor
performance for a given application.
L Tr = ( L – ( n ci – 1 )L M ) = L – L M
An equivalent circuit for the two phase coupled inductor is
shown in Figure 2. For the coupled inductor used in this
reference design the windings are symmetrical and the turns
ratio is 1:1.
N=1
This term is the leakage inductance, LLK, of the two winding
coupled inductor. The phase ripple current waveform, or
steady state phase ripple current, is determined by the
equivalent inductance in Equation 6:

ISL6327 senses phase current continuously for fast

resistive sensing techniques. For more detail on the ISL6327
theory of operation please refer to the ISL6327 datasheet.
FIGURE 2. TWO PHASE COUPLED INDUCTOR
INDUCTOR DCR SENSING
Each winding has a self inductance which is the total
inductance that magnetizes the core. In an imperfect
transformer some of the flux generated by the current
through the winding will not couple through the core to the
other winding. The mutual inductance is the portion of the
winding inductance that is coupled with the other windings.
Choosing the DCR current sense circuitry is straight forward
when using standard inductors but a little more complicated
when using coupled inductors. Consider the inductor DCR
as shown in Figure 3. The channel current IL flowing through
the inductor will also pass through the DCR. A simple R-C
network across the inductor extracts the DCR voltage.
VIN
The leakage inductance is a measure of how much of the
total flux does not couple to the other winding. A system of
equations can be used to determine the phase peak-to-peak
ripple current equation and total output peak-to-peak ripple
current equation.

Application Note 1268
If the R-C network components are selected such that the RC time constant (= R*C) matches the inductor time constant
(= L/DCR), the voltage across the capacitor VC is equal to
the voltage drop across the DCR, i.e., proportional to the
channel current.
transformer since the leakage inductance is typically small
compared to the self inductance.The coupled inductor in a
multiphase application will have a higher percentage of
leakage vs. self inductance so additional steps are needed
to calculate the actual leakage inductance.
With the internal low-offset current amplifier, the capacitor
voltage VC is replicated across the sense resistor RISEN.
Therefore the current out of ISEN+ pin, ISEN, is proportional
to the inductor current.
A calibrated bench RLC meter can be used for accurately
measuring leakage.
Equation 7 shows that the ratio of the channel current to the
sensed current ISEN is driven by the value of the sense
resistor and the DCR of the inductor.
DCR
I SEN = I L ⋅ ------------------R ISEN
(EQ. 7)
But how is the RC time constant selected in the coupled
inductor case? The leakage inductance of the coupled
inductor should be used as the inductance in the time
constant calculation. The leakage inductance for the two
phase coupled inductor is L - Lm.
Because of the internal filter at ISEN- pin, one capacitor CT
is needed to match the time delay between the ISEN- and
ISEN+ signals. Select the proper CT to keep the time
constant of RISEN and CT (RISEN x CT) close to 27ns.
Determining The Leakage Inductance of a Coupled
Inductor
The leakage inductance of the CI must be determined to
design and model with CI's, including using Equations 3-8.
There are several methods for accurately determining the
leakage inductance per phase of the coupled inductor; two
methods are outlined here. Figure 4 depicts an equivalent
magnetic circuit for the coupled inductor.

5. Repeat the above steps to obtain the winding inductance
and leakage of the secondary.
Method 2
1. Short pins 4 and 3. The measured inductance will be the
sum of the primary and secondary leakages. In the
symmetrical, 1:1 winding ratio of the multiphase buck
coupled inductor this will be 2*LLK. The average leakage for
each winding can be determined by dividing by 2.
IN06006 Specification Using Method 1
The coupled inductor used on the evaluation board is the
IN06006. To use this inductor as an example to illustrate
method 1 above refer to the IN06006 datasheet for the
following steps:
1. The winding inductance listed in the IN06006 datasheet
shows 315nH. So, L = 315nH.
2. Shorting the secondary and measuring the primary gives
150nH. Ls = 150nH.
3. The IN06006 winding ratio is 1:1.
4. The leakage inductance of this inductor can be calculated
using Equation 9.
LM

2. Short circuit the secondary winding, pins 2 and 3 in
Figure 4. The measured inductance from pins 1 to 4 is the
leakage inductance of the primary plus the reflected leakage
from the secondary. Call this Ls.
4. The leakage can be calculated using Equation 9:
(EQ. 8)

1. Leave the secondary winding, pins 2 and 3 in Figure 4,
open circuit. The measured inductance from pins 1 to 4 is the

An equation for selecting the resistor of the RC time constant
for a two winding coupled inductor and a given C value is
shown in Equation 8. Refer the ISL6327 datasheet for

L LK = 315 – ( 315 – ( 315 ⋅ 150 ) ) = 87nH
So, the leakage inductance for the IN06006 is 87nH. The
mutual inductance can be determined by Equation 5.
Lm = L - LLK = 228nH.
A conventional method for measuring leakage inductance in
a transformer is to short the secondary and measure the
inductance of the primary. This is a good approximation for a

What Inductor Parameters Do I Use?
The 87nH leakage inductance can be used in Equation 8 to
calculate the required RC time constant match for DCR
current sensing.
As shown in Equation 5, the leakage inductance determines
the total current waveform and therefore the small signal
transient response. Use LLK as the phase inductance when
calculating the regulator feedback compensation and small
signal transient response.
For steady state phase current calculations, use Equation 4.
This equation will give the peak-to-peak inductor current
waveforms for input ripple calculations, MOSFET selection,
and efficiency estimates.
The above analysis shows that a given transient inductance
can be used while reducing the phase ripple current vs. an
equivalent standard inductor.

Overcurrent Protection
ISL6327 has two levels of overcurrent protection. Each
phase is protected from a sustained overcurrent condition by
limiting its peak current, while the combined phase currents
are protected on an instantaneous basis.
In instantaneous protection mode, the ISL6327 utilizes the
sensed average current IAVG to detect an overcurrent
condition. The average current magnitude can be
approximated using Equation 7, the sensed current signal
for an individual phase. The average current is continuously
compared with a constant 85µA. Once the average current
exceeds the reference current, a comparator triggers the
converter to shut-down.
For details on how the ISL6327 behaves in reaction to an
overcurrent event refer to the ISL6327 datasheet.
REF
CREF
Where VREF is the reference voltage, VOFS is the
programmed offset voltage, IOUT is the total output current of
the converter, RISEN is the sense resistor connected to the
ISEN+ pin, RFB is the feedback resistor, N is the number of
active channels, and RX is the DCR, or sense resistor,
depending on the sensing method.
For the individual channel overcurrent protection, the
ISL6327 continuously compares the sensed current signal of
each channel with the 120µA reference current. If one
channel current exceeds the reference current, ISL6327 will
pull PWM signal of this channel to low for the rest of the
switching cycle. This PWM signal can be turned on next
cycle if the sensed channel current is less than the 120µA
reference current. The peak current limit of individual
channel will not trigger the converter to shut-down.
The overcurrent protection level for the above two OCP
modes can be adjusted by changing the value of current
sensing resistors. In addition, ISL6327 can also adjust the
average OCP threshold level by adjusting the value of the
resistor from IOUT to GND, R17 on the evaluation board. An
overcurrent response will be initiated when the voltage on
IOUT reaches 2V. Use Equation 7 to approximate the
average current value.
Equation 13 can be used to calculate the value of the resistor
RIOUT based on the desired OCP level IAVG, OCP2.

Which Phases Should Be Coupled?
Figure 1 has been duplicated in Figure 6 with some changes
to the spacing of the PWMs modified to show the effect on
the ripple current waveforms.
The bold red and blue waveforms in Figure 6 show an
example of how the phase current waveforms will change if
the PWM spacing is changed. Best ripple reduction
performance is achieved when the two coupled phases are
180 degrees phase-shifted.
The ISL6327 in 6-phase mode fires phases sequentially,
PWM1, PWM2, PWM3, PWM4, PWM5, PWM6. So, for
optimal phase ripple current reduction PWM1-PWM4,
PWM2-PWM5, and PWM3-PWM6 should be coupled.
For optimal layout placement two sequential PWMs should
not be placed next to one another. So, from left to right on a
PCB, an example placement can be PWM1,PWM4,PWM2,
PWM5, PWM3, PWM6.

Modifying the Board For Other
Applications
As shipped, the ISL6327EVAL5 is configured for 6 phase
operation, a VR11 VID of 1.35V, and designed for operation
up to 130A with a loadline of 1.25mΩ. The coupled inductors
on board are IN06006.
The inductor footprints on the board are large enough to
accommodate the footprints of other coupled inductors for
evaluation purposes.
The following procedure can be used to modify the board for
4 phase evaluation.
Four Phase VR11 05A Configuration, LL = 1mΩ
1. Change Feedback Compensation: R4 = 2.32k, R7 = 100,
C6 = 390pF, C5 = 330pF, R5 = 9.09k, C7 = 33pF
2. Change the IOUT resistor to decrease the overcurrent set
point: R17 = 36.5k which will give IOC = 120A
3. Change the DCR sense resistors: R22, R24, R26, R28,
R30, R32 = 1.3k

4. Move jumper hats on PWM5 and PWM6 pouts: Move hats
on JP_4P_SEL1 and JP_5P_SEL2 from pins 2 and 3 to
short pins 1 and 2. This will disable PWM5 and PWM6

capacitors in the output filter. For 4 phases 05A configuration
add 10 to 20 additional 10µF ceramic capacitors to the
output filter. There are plenty of additional 1206 footprints
around the socket to do this.
