The “Droop” current source, IDROOP, is proportional to load
current. This current source is used to reduce the reference
voltage on EA+ by the voltage drop across the “Droop”
resistor. A more in-depth explanation of “Droop”, and the
sizing of this resistor, can be found in the “Droop
Compensation” section of this document.
The choice of value for soft-start capacitor is determined by
the maximum slew rate required for the application. An
example calculation is shown below. Using the combined I1
and I2 current sources on the SOFT pin as 130µA, and the
worst case slew rate of (10mV/µs), the SOFT capacitor is
calculated as follows:
Gate-Drive Signals
The ISL6217A provides internal gate-drive for a two channel,
Synchronous Buck, Core Regulator. During two channel
mode of operation, the PWM drive signals are switched 180°
out of phase to reduce ripple current delivered from the DC
rail and to the load.
The ISL6217A was designed with a 4A, low-side gate
current sink ability, and a 2A low-side gate current source
ability, to efficiently drive the latest, high-performance
MOSFETs. This feature will provide the system designer with
flexibility in MOSFET selection, as well as optimum
efficiency during Active mode of operation.

ISL6217A
PWRCH Pin
A HIGH logic level on this pin enables two channel operation
and a LOW logic signal enables single channel operation. By
tying this pin to the STP_CPU# system signal, (DSEN# pin
on ISL6217A) single channel operation will be invoked
during the light loading of both Deep and Deeper Sleep. If
single channel operation is desired only during Deeper
Sleep, the inversion of system signal DPRSLPVR can be
connected to this pin.
The aggressive gate-drive capability and diode emulation of
ISL6217A, coupled with the single channel operation feature
results in superior efficiency performance over both light and
heavy loads.
Frequency Setting
Both channel switching frequencies are set up by a resistor
from the FSET pin to ground. The choice of FSET resistance
for a desired switching frequency can be approximated using
Figure 4. The switching frequency is designed to operate
between 250kHz and 1MHz per phase.
CORE Voltage Programming
The voltage identification pins (VID0, VID1, VID2, VID3,
VID4 and VID5) set the DAC output voltage. These pins do
not have internal pull-up or pull-down capability. These pins
will recognize 1.0V, 3.3V, or 5.0V CMOS logic. Table 1
shows the command voltage, VDAC for the 6 bit VID codes.
The IC responds to VID code changes as shown in Figure 5.
PGOOD is masked between these transitions.
