dissipation in the controller itself, PDR, can be roughly

estimated as:

Current Balancing Component Selection

The ISL6566A senses the channel load current by sampling

the voltage across the lower MOSFET rDS(ON), as shown in

Figure 17. The ISEN pins are denoted ISEN1, ISEN2, and

ISEN3. The resistors connected between these pins and the

respective phase nodes determine the gains in the channel-

current balance loop.

Select values for these resistors based on the room

temperature rDS(ON) of the lower MOSFETs; the full-load

operating current, IFL; and the number of phases, N using

Equation 24.

In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to adjust the

value of one or more ISEN resistors. When the components of

one or more channels are inhibited from effectively dissipating

their heat so that the affected channels run hotter than

desired, choose new, smaller values of RISEN for the affected

phases (see the section entitled Channel-Current Balance).

Choose RISEN,2 in proportion to the desired decrease in

temperature rise in order to cause proportionally less current

to flow in the hotter phase.

In Equation 25, make sure that

T2 is the desired temperature

rise above the ambient temperature, and

T1 is the measured

temperature rise above the ambient temperature. While a

single adjustment according to Equation 25 is usually

sufficient, it may occasionally be necessary to adjust RISEN

two or more times to achieve optimal thermal balance

between all channels.

Load Line Regulation Component Selection (DCR

Current Sensing)

For accurate load line regulation, the ISL6566A senses the

total output current by detecting the voltage across the

output inductor DCR of each channel (As described in the

Load Line Regulation

section). As Figure 18 illustrates, an

R-C network is required to accurately sense the inductor

DCR voltage and convert this information into a “droop”

voltage, which is proportional to the total output current.

Choosing the components for this current sense network is a

two step process. First, RCOMP and CCOMP must be

chosen so that the time constant of this RCOMP-CCOMP

network matches the time constant of the inductor L/DCR.

Then the resistor RS must be chosen to set the current

sense network gain, obtaining the desired full load droop

voltage. Follow the steps below to choose the component

values for this R-C network.

1. Choose an arbitrary value for CCOMP. The recommended

value is 0.01

F.

2. Plug the inductor L and DCR component values, and the

values for CCOMP chosen in steps 1, into Equation 26 to

calculate the value for RCOMP.

3. Use the new value for RCOMP obtained from Equation

26, as well as the desired full load current, IFL, full load

droop voltage, VDROOP, and inductor DCR in Equation

27 to calculate the value for RS.
