Functional Pin Description
VID1/SEL
This pin selects SVI or PVI mode operation based on the state
of the pin prior to enabling the ISL6323. If the pin is LO prior to
enable, the ISL6323 is in SVI mode and the dual purpose pins
[VID0/VFIXEN, VID2/SVC, VID3/SVD] use their SVI mode
related functions. If the pin held HI prior to enable, the
ISL6323 is in PVI mode and dual purpose pins use their VIDx
related functions to decode the correct DAC code.
VID0/VFIXEN
If VID1 is LO prior to enable [SVI Mode], the pin is functions
as the VFIXEN selection input from the AMD processor for
determining SVI mode versus VFIX mode of operation.
If VID1 is HI prior to enable [PVI Mode], the pin is used as
DAC input VID0. This pin has an internal 30µA pull-down
current applied to it at all times.
VID2/SVD
If VID1 is LO prior to enable [SVI Mode], this pin is the serial
VID data bi-directional signal to and from the master device on
AMD processor. If VID1 is HI prior to enable [PVI Mode], this
pin is used to decode the programmed DAC code for the
processor. In PVI mode, this pin has an internal 30µA pull-down
current applied to it. There is no pull-down current in SVI mode.
VID3/SVC
If VID1 is LO prior to enable [SVI Mode], this pin is the serial
VID clock input from the AMD processor. If VID1 is HI prior to
enable [PVI Mode], the ISL6323 is in PVI mode and this pin is
used to decode the programmed DAC code for the processor.
In PVI mode, this pin has an internal 30µA pull-down current
applied to it. There is no pull-down current in SVI mode.
VID4
This pin is active only when the ISL6323 is in PVI mode.
When VID1 is HI prior to enable, the ISL6323 decodes the
programmed DAC voltage required by the AMD processor.
This pin has an internal 30µA pull-down current applied to it at
all times.
VID5
This pin is active only when the ISL6323 is in PVI mode.
When VID1 is HI prior to enable, the ISL6323 decodes the
programmed DAC voltage required by the AMD processor.
This pin has an internal 30µA pull-down current applied to it at
all times.
VCC
VCC is the bias supply for the ICs small-signal circuitry.
Connect this pin to a +5V supply and decouple using a
quality 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
PVCC1_2
The power supply pin for the multiphase internal MOSFET
drivers. Connect this pin to any voltage from +5V to +12V

ISL6323
depending on the desired MOSFET gate-drive level.
Decouple this pin with a quality 1.0µF ceramic capacitor.
PVCC_NB
The power supply pin for the internal MOSFET driver for the
Northbridge controller. Connect this pin to any voltage from
+5V to +12V depending on the desired MOSFET gate-drive
level. Decouple this pin with a quality 1.0µF ceramic capacitor.
GND
GND is the bias and reference ground for the IC. The GND
connection for the ISL6323 is through the thermal pad on the
bottom of the package.
EN
This pin is a threshold-sensitive (approximately 0.85V) system
enable input for the controller. Held low, this pin disables both
CORE and NB controller operation. Pulled high, the pin
enables both controllers for operation.
When the EN pin is pulled high, the ISL6323 will be placed in
either SVI or PVI mode. The mode is determined by the
latched value of VID1 on the rising edge of the EN signal.
A third function of this pin is to provide driver bias monitor for
external drivers. A resistor divider with the center tap
connected to this pin from the drive bias supply prevents
enabling the controller before insufficient bias is provided to
external driver. The resistors should be selected such that
when the POR-trip point of the external driver is reached, the
voltage at this pin meets the above mentioned threshold level.
FS
A resistor, placed from FS to Ground or from FS to VCC,
sets the switching frequency of both controllers. Refer to
Equation 1 for proper resistor calculation.
With the resistor tied from FS to Ground, Droop is enabled.
With the resistor tied from FS to VCC, Droop is disabled.
VSEN and RGND
VSEN and RGND are inputs to the core voltage regulator
(VR) controller precision differential remote-sense amplifier
and should be connected to the sense pins of the remote
processor core(s), VDDFB[H,L].
FB and COMP
These pins are the internal error amplifier inverting input and
output respectively of the core VR controller. FB, VSEN and
COMP are tied together through external R-C networks to
compensate the regulator.
APA
Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA) pin for setting trip level and
adjusting time constant. A 100µA current flows into the APA
pin and by tying a resistor from this pin to COMP the trip
level for the Adaptive Phase Alignment circuitry can be set.
