ISL6398
Advanced Linear EAPP Digital 6-Phase Green PWM Controller for Digital Power Management with NVM and AUTO Phase Shedding
FN8575 Rev 1.00 Aug 13, 2015
The ISL6398 is a smart and smallest 6-Phase Green PWM controller, designed for networking, datacenter, and POL applications. It includes programmable functions and telemetries for easy use and system flexibility using SMBus, PMBus, or I2C interface, which is designed to program NVM banks up to 8 different compensations and system parameters. This minimizes external components and significantly reduces design complexity and PCB area, and simplifies the manufacturing process.
The ISL6398 utilizes Intersil’s proprietary Advanced Linear EAPP (Enhanced Active Pulse Positioning) Digital control scheme to achieve the extremely fast linear transient response with fewer output capacitors and overcomes many hurdles of traditional digital approach, which uses non-linear, discrete control method for both voltage loop and current.
