Multiple Linear Power Controller with
ACPI Control Interface
FN9062.2
Features
The ISL6504 and ISL6504A complement other power
building blocks (voltage regulators) in ACPI-compliant
designs for microprocessor and computer applications. The
IC integrates three linear controllers/regulators, switching,
monitoring and control functions into a 16-pin wide-body
SOIC or 20-pin QFN 6x6 package. The ISL6504, ISL6504A
operating mode (active outputs or sleep outputs) is
selectable through two digital control pins, S3 and S5.
One linear controller generates the 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB
voltage plane from the ATX supply’s 5VSB output, powering
the south bridge and the PCI slots through an external NPN
pass transistor during sleep states (S3, S4/S5). In active
state (during S0 and S1/S2), the 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB linear
regulator uses an external N-channel pass MOSFET to
connect the outputs directly to the 3.3V input supplied by an
ATX power supply, for minimal losses.
A controller powers up the 5VDUAL plane by switching in the
ATX 5V output through an NMOS transistor in active states,
or by switching in the ATX 5VSB through a PMOS (or PNP)
transistor in S3 sleep state. In S4/S5 sleep states, the
ISL6504 5VDUAL output is shut down. In the ISL6504A, the
5VDUAL output stays on during S4/S5 sleep states. This is
the only difference between the two parts; see Table 1.

• ACPI-Compliant Power Regulation for Motherboards
- ISL6504: 5VDUAL is shut down in S4/S5 sleep states
- ISL6504A: 5VDUAL stays on in S4/S5 sleep states
An internal linear regulator supplies the 1.2V for the voltage
identification circuitry (VID) only during active states (S0 and
S1/S2), and uses the 3V3 pin as input source for its internal
pass element. Another internal regulator outputs a 1.5VSB
chip-set standby supply, which uses the 3V3DL pin as input
source for its internal pass element. The 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB
and 1.5VSB outputs are active for as long as the ATX 5VSB
voltage is applied to the chip.

ISL6504, ISL6504A
Functional Pin Description (SOIC pinout)
3V3 (Pin 5)
Connect this pin to the ATX 3.3V output. This pin provides
the output current for the 1V2VID pin, and is monitored for
power quality.
DLA (Pin 10)
This pin is an open-collector output. Connect a 1kΩ resistor
from this pin to the ATX 12V output. This resistor is used to
pull the gates of suitable N-MOSFETs to 12V, which in
active state, switch in the ATX 3.3V and 5V outputs into the
3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB and 5VDUAL outputs, respectively.
5VSB (Pin 16)
5VDL (Pin 12)
Provide a very well de-coupled 5V bias supply for the IC to
this pin by connecting it to the ATX 5VSB output. This pin
provides all the chip’s bias as well as the base current for Q2
(see typical application diagram). The voltage at this pin is
monitored for power-on reset (POR) purposes.
Connect this pin to the 5VDUAL output (VOUT4). In either
operating state (when on), the voltage at this pin is provided
through a fully-on MOS transistor. This pin is also monitored
for undervoltage events.
5VDLSB (Pin 11)
GND (Pin 8)
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured
with respect to this pin.
S3 and S5 (Pins 6 and 7)
These pins switch the IC’s operating state from active (S0,
S1/S2) to S3 and S4/S5 sleep states. These are digital
inputs featuring internal 50kΩ (typical) resistor pull-ups to
5VSB. Internal circuitry de-glitches these pins for
disturbances lasting as long as 2µs (typically). Additional
circuitry blocks any illegal state transitions (such as S3 to
S4/S5 or vice versa). Respectively, connect S3 and S5 to
the computer system’s SLP_S3 and SLP_S5 signals.
Connect this pin to the gate of a suitable P-MOSFET or
bipolar PNP. ISL6504: In S3 sleep state, this transistor is
switched on, connecting the ATX 5VSB output to the
5VDUAL regulator output. ISL6504A: In S3 and S4/S5 sleep
state, this transistor is switched on, connecting the ATX
5VSB output to the 5VDUAL regulator output.
1V5SB (Pin 1)
This pin is the output of the internal 1.5V regulator (VOUT1).
This internal regulator operates for as long as 5VSB is
applied to the IC and draws its output current from the
3V3DL pin. This pin is monitored for undervoltage events.
1V2VID (Pin 4)
FAULT (Pin 9)
In case of an undervoltage on any of the controlled outputs,
on any of the monitored ATX voltages, or in case of an
overtemperature event, this pin is used to report the fault
condition by being pulled to 5VSB. Connect a 1kΩ resistor
from this pin to GND.
This pin is the output of the internal 1.2V voltage
identification (VID) regulator (VOUT2). This internal regulator
operates only in active states (S0, S1/S2) and is shut off
during any sleep state. This regulator draws its output
current from the 3V3 pin. This pin is monitored for
undervoltage events.
SS (Pin 13)
VID_PG (Pin 14)
Connect this pin to a small ceramic capacitor (no less than
5nF; 0.1µF recommended). The internal soft-start (SS)
current source along with the external capacitor creates a
voltage ramp used to control the ramp-up of the output
voltages. Pulling this pin low with an open-drain device shuts
down all the outputs as well as force the FAULT pin low. The
CSS capacitor is also used to provide a controlled voltage
slew rate during active-to-sleep transitions on the
3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB output.
This pin is the open collector output of the 1V2VID power
good comparator. Connect a 10kΩ pull-up resistor from this
pin to the 1V2VID output. As long as the 1V2VID output is
below its UV threshold, this pin is pulled low.
3V3DL (Pin 3)
Description
Connect this pin to the 3.3V dual/stand-by output (VOUT3).
In sleep states, the voltage at this pin is regulated to 3.3V; in
active states, ATX 3.3V output is delivered to this node
through a fully-on N-MOS transistor. During all operating
states, this pin is monitored for undervoltage events. This pin
provides all the output current delivered by the 1V5SB pin.
3V3DLSB (Pin 2)
Connect this pin to the base of a suitable NPN transistor. In
sleep state, this transistor is used to regulate the voltage at
the 3V3DL pin to 3.3V.
7
VID_CT (Pin 15)
Connect a small capacitor from this pin to ground. The
capacitor is used to delay the VID_PG reporting the 1V2VID
has reached power good limits.
Operation
The ISL6504/A controls 4 output voltages (Refer to Figures
1, 2, and 3). It is designed for microprocessor computer
applications with 3.3V, 5V, 5VSB, and 12V bias input from an
ATX power supply. The IC is composed of three linear
controllers/regulators supplying the computer system’s
1.5VSB (VOUT1), 3.3VSB and PCI slots’ 3.3VAUX power
(VOUT3), the 1.2V VID circuitry power (VOUT2), a dual
switch controller supplying the 5VDUAL voltage (VOUT4), as
FN9062.2
April 13, 2004
ISL6504, ISL6504A
well as all the control and monitoring functions necessary for
complete ACPI implementation.
Initialization
5VSB
S3
The ISL6504/A automatically initializes upon receipt of input
power. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually
monitors the 5VSB input supply voltage, initiating
3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB and 1.5VSB soft-start operation shortly
after exceeding POR threshold.
Dual Outputs Operational Truth Table
Table 1 describes the truth combinations pertaining to the
3.3VDUAL/SB and 5VDUAL outputs. The last two lines
highlight the only difference between the ISL6504 and
ISL6504A. The internal circuitry does not allow the transition
from an S3 (suspend to RAM) state to an S4/S5 (suspend to
disk/soft off) state or vice versa. The only ‘legal’ transitions
are from an active state (S0, S1) to a sleep state (S3, S5)
and vice versa.

Functional Timing Diagrams
Figures 4 (ISL6504), 5 (ISL6504A), and 6 are timing diagrams,
detailing the power up/down sequences of all the outputs in
response to the status of the sleep-state pins (S3, S5), as well
as the status of the input ATX supply. Not shown in these
diagrams is the deglitching feature used to protect against false
sleep state tripping. Both S3 and S5 pins are protected against
noise by a 2µs filter (typically 1–4µs). This feature is useful in
noisy computer environments if the control signals have to
travel over significant distances. Additionally, the S3 pin
features a 200µs delay in transitioning to sleep states. Once the
S3 pin goes low, an internal timer is activated. At the end of
the 200µs interval, if the S5 pin is low, the ISL6504/A
switches into S5 sleep state; if the S5 pin is high, the
ISL6504/A goes into S3 sleep state.

Soft-Start into Sleep States (S3, S4/S5)
The 5VSB POR function initiates the soft-start sequence. An
internal 10µA current source charges an external capacitor.
The error amplifiers reference inputs are clamped to a level
proportional to the SS (soft-start) pin voltage. As the SS pin
voltage slews from about 1.25V to 2.5V, the input clamp
allows a rapid and controlled output voltage rise.
Figures 7 (ISL6504) and 8 (ISL6504A) show the soft-start
sequence for the typical application start-up into a sleep
state. At time T0 5VSB (bias) is applied to the circuit. At time
T1, the 5VSB surpasses POR level. An internal fast charge
circuit quickly raises the SS capacitor voltage to
approximately 1V, then the 10µA current source continues
the charging.

proportionally. The ramp-up continues until time T3 when the
two voltages reach the set value. As the soft-start capacitor
voltage reaches approximately 2.75V, the undervoltage
monitoring circuit of this output is activated and the soft-start
capacitor is quickly discharged to approximately 1.25V.
Following the 3ms (typical) time-out between T3 and T4, the
soft-start capacitor commences a second ramp-up designed
to smoothly bring up the remainder of the voltages required
by the system. At time T5, voltages are within regulation
limits, and as the SS voltage reaches 2.75V, all the
remaining UV monitors are activated and the SS capacitor is
quickly discharged to 1.25V, where it remains until the next
transition. As the 1.2VVID output is only active while in an
active state, it does not come up, but rather waits until the
main ATX outputs come up within regulation limits.
Soft-Start into Active States (S0, S1)
If both S3 and S5 are logic high at the time the 5VSB is
applied, the ISL6504/A will assume active state wake-up and
keep off the required outputs until some time (typically
25ms) after the monitored main ATX output (3.3V) exceeds
the set threshold. This time-out feature is necessary in order
to ensure the main ATX outputs are stabilized. The time-out
also assures smooth transitions from sleep into active when
sleep states are being supported. 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB and
1.5VSB outputs will come up right after bias voltage
surpasses POR level.

FIGURE 9. SOFT-START INTERVAL IN ACTIVE STATE
During sleep-to-active state transitions from conditions
where the 5VDUAL output is initially 0V (such as S5 to S0
transition, or simple power-up sequence directly into active
state), the circuit goes through a quasi soft-start, the
5VDUAL output being pulled high through the body diode of
the N-Channel MOSFET connected between it and the 5V
ATX. Figure 9 exemplifies this start-up case. 5VSB is already
present when the main ATX outputs are turned on, at time
T0. As a result of +5VIN ramping up, the 5VDUAL output
capacitors charge up through the body diode of Q4 (see
Typical Application). At time T1, all main ATX outputs
exceed the ISL6504/A’s undervoltage thresholds, and the
internal 25ms (typical) timer is initiated. At T2, the time-out
initiates a soft-start, and the 1.2V voltage ID output is
ramped-up, reaching regulation limits at time T3.
Simultaneous with the beginning of this ramp-up, at time T2,
the DLA pin is released, allowing the pull-up resistor to turn
on Q2 and Q4, and bring the 5VDUAL output in regulation.
Shortly after time T3, as the SS voltage reaches 2.75V, the
soft-start capacitor is quickly discharged down to
approximately 2.45V, where it remains until a valid sleep
state request is received from the system.
A FAULT condition occurring on an output when controlled
through an external pass transistor will only set off the
FAULT flag, and it will not shut off or latch off any part of the
circuit. A FAULT condition occurring on an output controlled
through an internal pass transistor, will set off the FAULT
flag, and it will shut off the respective faulting regulator only.
If shutdown or latch off of the entire circuit is desired in case
of a fault, regardless of the cause, this can be achieved by
externally pulling or latching the SS pin low. Pulling the SS
pin low will also force the FAULT pin to go low and reset any
internally latched-off output.
Special consideration is given to the initial start-up
sequence. If, following a 5VSB POR event, any of the
1.5VSB or 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB outputs is ramped up and is
subject to an undervoltage event before the end of the
second soft-start ramp, then the FAULT output goes high
and the entire IC latches off. Latch-off condition can be reset
by cycling the bias power (5VSB). Undervoltage events on
the 1.5VSB and the 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB outputs at any other
times are handled according to the description found in the
second paragraph under the current heading.
Another condition that could set off the FAULT flag is chip
overtemperature. If the ISL6504/A reaches an internal
temperature of 140oC (typical), the FAULT flag is set, but the
chip continues to operate until the temperature reaches
155oC (typical), when unconditional shutdown of all outputs
takes place. Operation resumes only after powering down
the IC (to create a 5VSB POR event) and a start-up
(assuming the cause of the fault has been removed; if not,
as it heats up again, it will repeat the FAULT cycle).
In ISL6504/A applications, loss of the active ATX output
(3.3VIN; as detected by the on-board voltage monitor) during
active state operation causes the chip to switch to S5 sleep
state, in addition to reporting the input UV condition on the
FAULT pin. Exiting from this forced S5 state can only be
achieved by returning the faulting input voltage above its UV
threshold, by resetting the chip through removal of 5VSB
bias voltage, or by bringing the SS pin at a potential lower
than 0.8V.
Application Guidelines
Fault Protection
Soft-Start Interval
All the outputs are monitored against undervoltage events. A
severe overcurrent caused by a failed load on any of the
outputs, would, in turn, cause that specific output to
suddenly drop. If any of the output voltages drops below
80% (typical) of their set value, such event is reported by
having the FAULT pin pulled to 5V. Additionally, exceeding
The 5VSB output of a typical ATX supply is capable of
725mA, with newer models rated for 1.0A, and even 2.0A.
During power-up in a sleep state, the 5VSB ATX output
needs to provide sufficient current to charge up all the
applicable output capacitors and, simultaneously, provide
some amount of current to the output loads. Drawing

excessive amounts of current from the 5VSB output of the
ATX can lead to voltage collapse and induce a pattern of
consecutive restarts with unknown effects on the system’s
behavior or health.

The built-in soft-start circuitry allows tight control of the slewup speed of the output voltages controlled by the ISL6504,

capacitance and the voltage of an output (total charge
delivered to all outputs)
Layout Considerations
Due to the various system timing events and their
interaction, it is recommended that the soft-start interval not
be set to exceed 30ms. For most applications, a 0.1µF
capacitor is recommended.
The typical application employing an ISL6504/A is a fairly
straight forward implementation. Like with any other linear
regulator, attention has to be paid to the few potentially
sensitive small signal components, such as those connected
to sensitive nodes or those supplying critical bypass current.
Shutdown
In case of a FAULT condition that might endanger the
computer system, or at any other time, all the ISL6504/A
outputs can be shut down by pulling the SS pin below the
specified shutdown level (typically 0.8V) with an open drain
or open collector device capable of sinking a minimum of
2mA. Pulling the SS pin low effectively shuts down all the
pass elements. Upon release of the SS pin, the ISL6504
undergoes a new soft-start cycle and resumes normal
operation in accordance to the ATX supply and control pins
status.
VID_PG Delay
During power-up and initial soft-start, the VID_PG and
VID_CT pins are held low. As the 1V2VID output exceeds its
rising power-good threshold, the capacitor connected at the
VID_CT pin starts to charge up through the internal 10µA
current source. As the voltage on this capacitor exceeds
1.25V, the open-collector VID_PG pin is released and VID
POWER GOOD status is thus reported.
The value of the VID_CT capacitor to be used to obtain a
given VID_PG delay can be determined from the graph in
Figure 10. For extended delays exceeding the range of the
graph, use the following formula:
t DELAY
C = ------------------125000
, where
tDELAY - desired delay time (s)
C - VID_CT capacitor to obtain desired delay time (F)

The power components (pass transistors) and the controller
IC should be placed first. The controller should be placed in
a central position on the motherboard, closer to the memory
controller chip and processor, but not excessively far from
the 3.3VDUAL island or the I/O circuitry. Ensure the 1V5SB,
1V2VID, 3V3, and 3V3DL connections are properly sized to
carry 100mA without exhibiting significant resistive losses at
the load end. Similarly, the input bias supply (5VSB) can
carry a significant level of current - for best results, ensure it
is connected to its respective source through an adequately
sized trace. The pass transistors should be placed on pads
capable of heatsinking matching the device’s power
dissipation. Where applicable, multiple via connections to a
large internal plane can significantly lower localized device
temperature rise.
Placement of the decoupling and bulk capacitors should
follow a placement reflecting their purpose. As such, the
high-frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as
close as possible to the load they are decoupling; the ones
decoupling the controller close to the controller pins, the
ones decoupling the load close to the load connector or the
load itself (if embedded). Even though bulk capacitance
(aluminum electrolytics or tantalum capacitors) placement is
not as critical as the high-frequency capacitor placement,
having these capacitors close to the load they serve is
preferable.
The critical small signal components include the soft-start
capacitor, CSS, as well as all the high-frequency decoupling
capacitors. Locate these components close to the respective
FN9062.2

ISL6504, ISL6504A
pins of the control IC, and connect them to ground through a
via placed close to the ground pad. Minimize any leakage
current paths from the SS node, as the internal current
source is only 10µA (typical).
+12VIN
Also, during the transition between active and sleep states
on the 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB and 5VDUAL outputs, there is a
short interval of time during which none of the power pass
elements are conducting - during this time the output
capacitors have to supply all the output current. The output
voltage drop during this brief period of time can be easily
approximated with the following formula:

component ground connections through vias placed as close
to the component terminal as possible. Dedicate another
solid layer as a power plane and break this plane into
smaller islands of common voltage levels. Ideally, the power

nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top and bottom

Component Selection Guidelines
Output Capacitors Selection
The output capacitors should be selected to allow the output
voltage to meet the dynamic regulation requirements of
active state operation (S0, S1). The load transient for the
various microprocessor system’s components may require

high quality capacitors to supply the high slew rate (di/dt)
current demands. Thus, it is recommended that the output
capacitors be selected for transient load regulation, paying
attention to their parasitic components (ESR, ESL).
tt - active-to-sleep or sleep-to-active transition time (10µs typ.)
The output voltage drop is heavily dependent on the ESR
(equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor bank,
the choice of capacitors should be such as to maintain the
output voltage above the lowest allowable regulation level.
Input Capacitors Selection
The input capacitors for an ISL6504/A application must have
a sufficiently low ESR so as not to allow the input voltage to
dip excessively when energy is transferred to the output
capacitors. If the ATX supply does not meet the
specifications, certain imbalances between the ATX’s
outputs and the ISL6504/A’s regulation levels could have as
a result a brisk transfer of energy from the input capacitors to
the supplied outputs. At the transition between active and
sleep states, such phenomena could be responsible for the
5VSB voltage drooping excessively and affecting the output
regulation. The solution to such a potential problem is using
larger input capacitors with a lower total combined ESR.
Transistor Selection/Considerations
The ISL6504/A usually requires one P-Channel (or bipolar
PNP), two N-Channel MOSFETs, and one bipolar NPN
transistors.
One important criteria for selection of transistors for all the
linear regulators/switching elements is package selection for
efficient removal of heat. The power dissipated in a linear
regulator or an ON/OFF switching element is
P LINEAR = I O × ( V IN – V OUT )
Select a package and heatsink that maintains the junction
temperature below the rating with the maximum expected
ambient temperature.

Q1
Q3
The NPN transistor used as sleep state pass element on the
3.3VDUAL output has to have a minimum current gain of 100
at 1.5V VCE and 650mA ICE throughout the in-circuit
operating temperature range. For larger current ratings on
the 3.3VDUAL output (providing the ATX 5VSB output rating
is equally extended), selection criteria for Q1 include an
appropriate current gain (hfe) and saturation characteristics.
If a P-Channel MOSFET is used to switch the 5VSB output of
the ATX supply into the 5VDUAL output during sleep states,
then the selection criteria of this device is proper voltage
budgeting. The maximum rDS(ON) , however, has to be
achieved with only 4.5V of gate-to-source voltage, so a logic
level MOSFET needs to be selected. If a PNP device is
chosen to perform this function, it has to have a lowsaturation voltage while providing the maximum sleep
current and have a current gain sufficiently high to be
saturated using the minimum drive current (typically 20mA).
Q2, Q4
These N-Channel MOSFETs are used to switch the 3.3V
and 5V inputs provided by the ATX supply into the
3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB and 5VDUAL outputs while in active (S0,
S1) state. The main criteria for the selection of these
transistors is output voltage budgeting. The maximum
rDS(ON) allowed at highest junction temperature can be
expressed with the following equation:
ISL6504 Application Circuit
Figure 12 shows a typical application circuit for the
ISL6504/A. The circuit provides the 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB
voltage, the ICH4 resume well 1.5VSB voltage, the 1.2VVID
voltage identification output, and the 5VDUAL
keyboard/mouse voltage from +3.3V, +5VSB, +5V, and
+12VDC ATX supply outputs. Q3 can also be a PNP
transistor, such as an MMBT2907AL. For additional, more
