INTERSIL ISL95839HRTZ

Dual 3+1 PWM Controller with Current Monitor for
IMVP-7/VR12™ CPUs
ISL95839
Features
The ISL95839 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller IC
provides a complete solution for IMVP-7/VR12™ compliant
microprocessor and graphic processor core power supplies. It
provides the control and protection for two Voltage Regulators
(VRs). The first VR, typical for Vcore, incorporates 2 integrated
drivers and can operate in 3-, 2- or 1-phase configurations. The
second VR, typical for Graphics, incorporates 1 integrated
driver. The two VRs share a serial control bus to communicate
with the CPU and achieve lower cost and smaller board area
compared with the two-chip approach.
• Serial data bus
• Dual outputs:
- Configurable 3-, 2- or 1-phase for the 1st output using two
integrated gate drivers
- 2nd output using an integrated gate driver
• R3™ Modulator
- Excellent transient response
- High light load efficiency
• 0.5% system accuracy over-temperature
Both VRs utilize Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator R3
Technology™. The R3 modulator has numerous advantages
compared to traditional modulators, including faster transient
response, variable switching frequency during load transients,
and improved light load efficiency due to its ability to
automatically change switching frequency.
• Supports multiple current sensing methods
- Lossless inductor DCR current sensing
- Precision resistor current sensing
• Differential remote voltage sensing
• Programmable VBOOT voltage at start-up
The ISL95839 has several other key features. Both outputs
support either DCR current sensing with a single NTC
thermistor for DCR temperature compensation, or more
precise resistor current sensing if desired. Both outputs come
with remote voltage sense, programmable VBOOT voltage,
IMAX, and switching frequency, adjustable overcurrent
protection and separate Power-Good signals.
• Resistor programmable IMAX, switching frequency for both
outputs
• Output current monitor (IMON and IMONG)
• Adaptive body diode conduction time reduction
Applications
• IMVP-7/VR12 compliant computers

Theory of Operation
Multiphase R3™ Modulator
The ISL95839 is a multiphase regulator implementing Intel™
IMVP-7/VR12™ protocol. It has two voltage regulators, VR1 and
VR2, on one chip. VR1 can be programmed for 1-, 2- or 3-phase
operation, and VR2 is 1-phase operation. The following description
is based on VR1, but also applies to VR2 because they are based
on the same architecture.
than conventional hysteretic mode and fixed PWM mode
controllers. Unlike conventional hysteretic mode converters, the
ISL95839 uses an error amplifier that allows the controller to
maintain a 0.5% output voltage accuracy.
MASTER
CLOCK
gmVo
The ISL95839 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 4 conceptually
shows the multiphase R3™ modulator circuit, and Figure 5 shows
the operation principles.
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 VR1 is in 3-phase
mode, the master clock signal will be distributed to the three
phases, and the Clock1~3 signals will be 120° out-of-phase. If
VR1 is in 2-phase 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 VR1 is in 1-phase mode, the master
clock signal will be distributed to Phase 1 only and will 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 VCrs hits VW, the slave circuit turns off the PWM pulse,
and the current source discharges Crs.

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 COMP voltage falls, reducing the current PWM pulse
width. This kind of behavior gives the controller excellent
response speed.
The fact that all the phases share the same VW window voltage
also ensures excellent dynamic current balance among phases.

FIGURE 7. DIODE EMULATION
ISL95839 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 doesn’t allow
reverse current, emulating a diode. As Figure 7 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 controller 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 7 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 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 6. R3™ MODULATOR OPERATION PRINCIPLES IN LOAD
INSERTION RESPONSE
Figure 6 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

Figure 8 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 controller clamps the
master ripple capacitor voltage Vcrm and the slave ripple capacitor
voltage Vcrs in DE mode to make it mimic the inductor current. It
takes the Vcrm longer to hit COMP, 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
increase light load efficiency.

After the start sequence, the controller regulates the output
voltage to the value set by the VID information per Table 1. The
controller will control the no-load output voltage to an accuracy of
±0.5% over the range of 0.25V to 1.52V. A differential amplifier
allows voltage sensing for precise voltage regulation at the
microprocessor die.

Start-up Timing
With the controller's VDD voltage above the POR threshold, the
start-up sequence begins when VR_ON exceeds the logic high
threshold. Figure 9 shows the typical start-up timing of VR1 and
VR2. The controller uses digital soft-start to ramp-up DAC to the
voltage programmed by the SetVID command. PGOOD is asserted
high and ALERT# is asserted low at the end of the ramp up. Similar
results occur if VR_ON is tied to VDD, with the soft-start sequence
starting 2.6ms after VDD crosses the POR threshold.

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 controller can sense the
inductor current through the intrinsic DC Resistance (DCR) of the
inductors (as shown in Figure 3 on page 6) or through resistors in
series with the inductors (as shown in Figure 4 on page 10). 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 10 shows the load line implementation. The controller
drives a current source Idroop out of the FB pin, described by
Equation 1.
V Cn
I droop = ----------Ri
Rewriting Equation 4 and substitution of Equation 2 gives:
VCCSENSE – VSS SENSE = V DAC – R droop × I droop
Equation 5 is the exact equation required for load line
implementation.
The VCCSENSE and VSSSENSE signals come from the processor die.
The feedback will be open circuit in the absence of the processor. As
Figure 10 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.
Phase Current Balancing
(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.
Current Monitor
The controller provides the current monitor function. IMON and
IMONG pin reports the inductor current for bothe VRs respectively.
The IMON pin outputs a high-speed analog current source that is
1/4 of the droop current flowing out of the FB pin as Equation 3:

FIGURE 11. CURRENT BALANCING CIRCUIT
The controller monitors individual phase average current by
monitoring the ISEN1, ISEN2, and ISEN3 voltages. Figure 11
shows the recommended current balancing circuit. Each phase
node voltage is averaged by a low-pass filter consisting of Risen
and Cisen, and presented to the corresponding ISEN pin. Risen
should be routed to inductor phase-node pad in order to eliminate
the effect of phase node parasitic PCB DCR. Equations 6 thru 8
give the ISEN pin voltages:
(EQ. 3)
V ISEN1 = ( R dcr1 + R pcb1 ) × I L1
(EQ. 6)
A resistor Rimon is connected to the IMON pin to convert the IMON
pin current to voltage. A capacitor should be paralleled with Rimon to
filter the voltage information.
V ISEN2 = ( R dcr2 + R pcb2 ) × I L2
(EQ. 7)
V ISEN3 = ( R dcr3 + R pcb3 ) × I L3
(EQ. 8)
I IMON = 0.25 × I droop
The IMON pin voltage range is 0V to 1.2V. The controller monitors
the IMON pin voltage and considers that ISL95839 has reached
ICCMAX when IMON pin voltage is 1.2V.
IMONG pin has the same operation principle as IMON pin.
Differential Voltage Sensing
Figure 10 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 adds it to the DAC output. The error
amplifier regulates the inverting and the non-inverting input
voltages to be equal, as shown in Equation 4:
VCC SENSE + V
droop
= V DAC + VSS SENSE
16
(EQ. 4)
where Rdcr1, Rdcr2 and Rdcr3 are inductor DCR; Rpcb1, Rpcb2
and Rpcb3 are parasitic PCB DCR between the inductor output
side pad and the output voltage rail; and IL1, IL2 and IL3 are
inductor average currents.
The controller will adjust the phase pulse-width relative to the
other phases to make VISEN1 = VISEN2 = VISEN3, thus to achieve
IL1 = IL2 = IL3, when there are Rdcr1 = Rdcr2 = Rdcr3 and
Rpcb1 = Rpcb2 = Rpcb3.
Using the same components for L1, L2 and L3 will provide a good
match of Rdcr1, Rdcr2 and Rdcr3. Board layout will determine
Rpcb1, Rpcb2 and Rpcb3. It is recommended to have symmetrical
layout for the power delivery path between each inductor and the
output voltage rail, such that Rpcb1 = Rpcb2 = Rpcb3.

FIGURE 12. DIFFERENTIAL-SENSING CURRENT BALANCING CIRCUIT
Sometimes, it is difficult to implement symmetrical layout. For
the circuit shown in Figure 11, asymmetric layout causes
different Rpcb1, Rpcb2 and Rpcb3 thus current imbalance.
Figure 12 shows a recommended differential-sensing current
balancing circuit. 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 three sources: its own
phase inductor phase-node pad, and the other two phases
inductor output side pads. Equations 9 thru 11 give the ISEN pin
voltages:
V ISEN1 = V 1p + V 2n + V 3n
(EQ. 9)
V ISEN2 = V 1n + V 2p + V 3n
(EQ. 10)
V ISEN3 = V 1n + V 2n + V 3p
(EQ. 11)

R dcr1 × I L1 = R dcr2 × I L2 = R dcr3 × I L3
(EQ. 17)
Current balancing (IL1 = IL2 = IL3) will be achieved when there is
Rdcr1 = Rdcr2 = Rdcr3. Rpcb1, Rpcb2 and Rpcb3 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 13
shows current balancing performance of the evaluation board
with load transient of 12A/51A 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 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
REP RATE = 10kHz
REP RATE = 25kHz
The resistor from COMPG and GND sets four different switching
frequencies: 300kHz, 350kHz, 400kHz and 450kHz. Please refer
to Table 8 on page 27 for details.
To improve the efficiency at low VID, fixed on-time and period
stretching will be implemented and CCM switching frequency will
be proportional to the VID. The switching frequency will be
stretched to 150kHz when VID = 0.25V. The VID starting to period
stretching will be 0.5V*fSW_SET/300. For example, period
stretching will start at VID = 0.5V with 300kHz switching
frequency setting, and period stretching will start at VID = 0.75V
with 450kHz switching frequency setting.

VR1 can be configured for 3, 2 or 1-phase operation. Table 2
shows VR1 configurations and operational modes, programmed
by the PWM3 pin and the ISEN2 pin status, and the PS
command. For 2-phase configuration, tie the PWM3 pin to 5V. In
this configuration, phases 1 and 2 are active. For 1-phase
configuration, tie the PWM3 pin and the ISEN2 pin to 5V. In this
configuration, only phase-1 is active.

In 3-phase configuration, VR1 operates in 3-phase CCM in PS0. It
enters 2-phase CCM mode in PS1 by dropping phase 3 and
reducing the overcurrent and the way-overcurrent protection
levels to 2/3 of the initial values. It enters 1-phase DE mode in
PS2 and PS3 by dropping phase 2, phase 3 and reducing the
overcurrent and the way-overcurrent protection levels to 1/3 of
the initial values.
In 2-phase configuration, VR1 operates in 2-phase CCM in PS0. It
enters 1-phase CCM mode in PS1, and enters 1-phase DE mode
in PS2 and PS3 by dropping phase 2, and reducing the

Dynamic Operation
VR1 and VR2 behave the same during dynamic operation. The
controller responds to VID changes by slewing to the new voltage
at a slew rate indicated in the SetVID command. There are three
SetVID slew rates, namely SetVID_fast, SetVID_slow and
SetVID_decay.
SetVID_fast command prompts the controller to enter CCM and
to actively drive the output voltage to the new VID value at a
minimum 10mV/µs slew rate.
SetVID_slow command prompts the controller to enter CCM and
to actively drive the output voltage to the new VID value at a
minimum 2.5mV/µs slew rate.

The controller drives 60µA current source out of the NTC pin and
the NTCG pin alternatively at approximately 36kHz frequency
with 50% duty cycle. The current source flows through the
respective NTC resistor networks on the pins and creates
voltages that are monitored by the controller through an A/D
converter (ADC) to generate the TZONE value. Table 4 shows the
programming table for TZONE. The user needs to scale the NTC
and the NTCG network resistance such that it generates the NTC
(and NTCG) pin voltage that corresponds to the left-most column.
Do not use any capacitor to filter the voltage.

SetVID_decay command prompts the controller to enter DE mode.
The output voltage will decay down to the new VID value at a slew
rate determined by the load. If the voltage decay rate is too fast, the
controller will limit the voltage slew rate at 10mV/µs.
ALERT# will be asserted low at the end of SetVID_fast and
SetVID_slow VID transitions.
Figure 14 shows SetVID Decay Pre-Emptive behavior. The
controller receives a SetVID_decay command at t1. The VR
enters DE mode and the output voltage Vo decays down slowly.
At t2, before Vo reaches the intended VID target of the
SetVID_decay command, the controller receives a SetVID_fast (or
SetVID_slow) command to go to a voltage higher than the actual
Vo. The controller will turn around immediately and slew Vo to the
new target voltage at the slew rate specified by the SetVID
command. At t3, Vo reaches the new target voltage and the
controller asserts the ALERT# signal.

Figure 15 shows how the NTC and the NTCG network should be
designed to get correct VR_HOT#/ALERT# behavior when the
system temperature rises and falls, manifested as the NTC and the
NTCG pin voltage falls and rises. The series of events are:
1. The temperature rises so the NTC pin (or the NTCG pin)
voltage drops. TZONE value changes accordingly.
2. The temperature crosses the threshold where TZONE register
Bit 6 changes from 0 to 1.
3. The controller changes Status_1 register bit 1 from 0 to 1.

Adaptive Body Diode Conduction Time
Reduction
14. The controller asserts ALERT#.
In DCM, the controller turns off the low-side MOSFET when the
inductor current approaches zero. During on-time 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 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
high-side 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.
15. The CPU reads Status_1 register value to know that the alert
assertion is due to TZONE register Bit 5 flipping.

comparing the average value of the droop current Idroop with an

FIGURE 16. FB2 FUNCTION
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 can be optimal for both 3-, 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 3-,
2-phase mode and 1-phase mode. If one decides not to use the
FB2 function, simply populate C3.1 only.

VR1 and VR2 both provide overcurrent, current-balance and
overvoltage fault protections. The controller also provides
over-temperature protection. The following discussion is based on
VR1 and also applies to VR2.
For overcurrent conditions above 1.5x 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 fast-overcurrent protection, for
short-circuit protection.
The controller monitors the ISEN pin voltages to determine
current-balance protection. If the difference of one ISEN pin
voltage and the average ISENs pin voltage is greater than 9mV for
at least 3.2ms, the controller will declare a fault and latch off.
The controller takes the same actions for all of the above fault
protections: de-assertion of both PGOODs and turn-off of all the
high-side and low-side power MOSFETs. Any residual inductor
current will decay through the MOSFET body diodes.
The controller will declare an overvoltage fault and de-assert PGOOD
if the output voltage exceeds the VID set value by +200mV. The
controller 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
the VID set value when all power MOSFETs are turned off. If the
output voltage rises above the VID set value +200mV 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.

The overvoltage fault threshold is 1.7V when output voltage
ramps up from 0V. And the overvoltage fault threshold is restored
to VID set value + 200mV after the output voltage settles.
All the above 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.

FIGURE 17. DCR CURRENT-SENSING NETWORK
Figure 17 shows the inductor DCR current-sensing network for a
3-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 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.
The summed inductor current information is presented to the
capacitor Cn. Equations 18 thru 22 describe the
frequency-domain relationship between inductor total current
Io(s) and Cn voltage VCn(s):

(EQ. 22)
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 decrease 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 a 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 wsns and a zero wL. One needs to match wL and wsns so
Acs(s) is unity gain at all frequencies. By forcing wL equal to wsns
and solving for the solution, Equation 23 gives the Cn value.
L
C n = --------------------------------------------------------------R sum
R ntcnet × --------------N
-----------------------------------------× DCR
R sum
R ntcnet + --------------N
(EQ. 23)
For example, given N = 3, Rsum = 3.65kΩ, Rp = 11kΩ,
Rntcs = 2.61kΩ, Rntc = 10kΩ, DCR = 0.9mΩ and L = 0.36µH,
Equation 23 gives Cn = 0.397µF.
Assuming the compensator design is correct, Figure 18 shows the
expected load transient response waveforms 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 accurately
represent real-time Io(s) and will worsen the transient response.
Figure 19 shows the load transient response when Cn is too
small. Vcore will sag excessively upon load insertion and may
create a system failure. Figure 20 shows the transient response
when Cn is too large. Vcore is sluggish in drooping to its final
value. There will be excessive overshoot if load insertion occurs
during this time, which may potentially hurt the CPU reliability.

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 21. OUTPUT VOLTAGE RING BACK PROBLEM
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 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

affect idroop average value detection and therefore may affect

accurately capture the inductor current information. The Rsum

where Iomax is the full load current, Idroopmax is the

DCR = 0.9mΩ, Iomax = 94A and Idroopmax = 50µA, Equation 30

Transfer function ARsen(s) always has unity gain at DC.
Current-sensing resistor Rsen value will not have significant

network.
The recommended values are Rsum = 1kΩ and Cn = 5600pF.
Overcurrent Protection
Refer to Equation 1 on page 16 and Figures 17, 21 and 23;
resistor Ri sets the droop current Idroop. Tables 2 and 3 show the
internal OCP threshold. It is recommended to design Idroop
without using the RCOMP resistor.
For example, the OCP threshold is 60µA for 3-phase solution. We
will design Idroop to be 50µA at full load, so the OCP trip level is
1.2x of the full load current.
For inductor DCR sensing, Equation 27 gives the DC relationship
of Vcn(s) and Io(s).

where Iomax is the full load current, Idroopmax is the

It is recommended to start with the Rdroop value calculated by
Equation 37, 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.

Intersil provides a Microsoft Excel-based spreadsheet to help
design the compensator and the current sensing network, so the
VR achieves constant output impedance as a stable system.
Please go to http://www.intersil.com/en/support.html to request
spreadsheet.
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 ISL95839 regulator.

Programming Resistors
TABLE 8. RCOMPG PROGRAMMING TABLE
There are two programming resistors: RCOMP and RCOMPG.
Table 7 shows how to select RCOMP based on VBOOT and VR1
ICCMAX register settings. VR1 can power to 0V VBOOT or an
internally-set VBOOT based on RCOMP value. When the controller
works with an actual CPU, select RCOMP such that VR1 powers
up to VBOOT = 0V as required by the SVID command. In the
absence of a CPU, such as testing of the VR alone, select RCOMP
such that VR1 powers up to the internally-set VBOOT, which by
default is 1.1V. Determine the maximum current VR1 can
support and set the VR1 ICCMAX register value accordingly by
selecting the appropriate RCOMP value. The CPU will read the
VR1 ICCMAX register value and ensure that the CPU CORE current
doesn’t exceed the value specified by VR1 ICCMAX.
Table 8 shows how to select RCOMPG based on VR1 and VR2 CCM
switching frequency and VR2 ICCMAX register settings. There are
four switching frequencies to choose from: 300kHz, 350kHz,
400kHz, and 450kHz. There are also three VR2 ICCMAX values to
choose.

Refer to Figures 3 and 4. The controller achieves current
balancing through matching the ISEN pin voltages. Risen and
Cisen form filters to remove the switching ripple of the phase
node voltages. It is recommended to use rather long RisenCisen
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.

During a large VID transition, the DAC steps through the VIDs at a
controlled slew rate. For example, the DAC may change a tick
(5mV) per 0.5µs, controlling output voltage Vcore slew rate at
10mV/µs.
Figure 28 shows the waveforms of VID transition. During VID
transition, the output capacitor is being charged and discharged,
causing Cout x dVcore/dt current on the inductor. 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. To get the correct Vcore slew
rate during VID transition, one can add the Rvid-Cvid branch,
whose current Ivid cancels Idroop_vid.
It’s recommended to choose the R, C values from the reference
design as a starting point. then tweak the actual values on the
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.

Place the NTC thermistor next to VR1 phase-1 inductor (L1) so it senses the inductor temperature correctly.
Each phase of the power stage sends a pair of VSUMP and VSUMN 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 VR1
phase-1 side pad of inductor L1. Route R88 to the output side pad of inductor L1. Route R65 and R72 to VR1 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.
