ISL6529, ISL6529A

Dual Regulator–Synchronous Rectified

Buck PWM and Linear Power Controllers

The ISL6529, ISL6529A provide the power control and

protection for two output voltages in high-performance

graphics cards and other embedded processor applications.

The dual-output controllers drive two N-Channel MOSFETs

in a synchronous rectified buck converter topology and one

N-Channel MOSFET in a linear configuration. The ISL6529,

ISL6529A provide both a regulated high current, low voltage

supply and an independent, lower current supply integrated

in a 14-lead SOIC package. The controllers are ideal for

graphic card applications where regulation of both the

graphics processing unit (GPU) and memory supplies is

required.

The synchronous rectified buck converters incorporate

simple, single feedback loop, voltage-mode control with fast

transient response. Both the switching regulator and linear

regulator provide a maximum static regulation tolerance of

±

2% over line, load, and temperature ranges. Each output is

user-adjustable by means of external resistors.

An integrated soft-start feature brings both supplies into

regulation in a controlled manner. Each output is monitored

via the FB pins for undervoltage events. If either output

drops below 51.5% of the nominal output level, both

converters are shut down.
