Load-Line (Droop) Regulation
By adding a well controlled output impedance, the output
voltage can effectively be level shifted in a direction which
works to achieve a cost-effective solution can help to reduce
the output-voltage spike that results from fast load-current
demand changes.
The magnitude of the spike is dictated by the ESR and ESL
of the output capacitors selected. By positioning the no-load
voltage level near the upper specification limit, a larger
negative spike can be sustained without crossing the lower
limit. By adding a well controlled output impedance, the
output voltage under load can effectively be level shifted
down so that a larger positive spike can be sustained without
crossing the upper specification limit.
As shown in Figure 8, with the FS resistor tied to ground, the
average current of all active channels, I
through a load-line regulation resistor R
voltage drop across R
effectively creating an output voltage droop with a steady-
state value defined as in Equation 12:
The regulated output voltage is reduced by the droop voltage
V
shown in Equation 13.

Output-Voltage Offset Programming
The ISL6323 allows the designer to accurately adjust the
offset voltage by connecting a resistor, R
pin to VCC or GND. When R
and VCC, the voltage across it is regulated to 1.6V. This
causes a proportional current (I
and out of the OFS pin. If R
voltage across it is regulated to 0.3V, and I
OFS pin and out of the FB pin. The offset current flowing
through the resistor between VDIFF and FB will generate the
desired offset voltage which is equal to the product
(I
and 10.
Once the desired output offset voltage has been determined,
use Equations 14 and 15 to set R
