from shutdown mode to begin the soft-start startup
sequence:
For Intel VR11 and AMD 6-bit modes of operation these are
the only conditions that must be met for the controller to
immediately begin the soft-start sequence. If running in AMD
5-bit mode of operation there is one more condition that
must be met:
Once all of these conditions are met the controller will begin
the soft-start sequence and will ramp the output voltage up
to the user designated level.
Intel Soft-Start
The soft-start function allows the converter to bring up the
output voltage in a controlled fashion, resulting in a linear
ramp-up. The soft-start sequence for the Intel modes of
operation is slightly different then the AMD soft-start
sequence.
For the Intel VR11 mode of operation, the soft-start
sequence if composed of four periods, as shown in
Figure 13. Once the ISL6313 is released from shutdown and
soft-start begins (as described in “Enable and Disable” on
page 20), the controller will have a fixed delay period TD1 of
typically 1.10ms. After this delay period, the VR will begin
first soft-start ramp until the output voltage reaches 1.1V
VBOOT voltage. Then, the controller will regulate the VR
voltage at 1.1V for another fixed delay period TD3, of
typically 93µs. At the end of TD3 period, ISL6313 will read
the VID signals. It is recommended that the VID codes be
set no later then 50µs into period TD3. If the VID code is
valid, ISL6313 will initiate the second soft-start ramp until the

and falling thresholds assure that once enabled, the

AMD Soft-Start
For the AMD 5-bit and 6-bit modes of operation, the
soft-start sequence is composed of two periods, as shown in
Figure 14. At the beginning of soft-start, the VID code is
immediately obtained from the VID pins, followed by a fixed
delay period TDA of typically 1.10ms. After this delay period
the ISL6313 will begin ramping the output voltage to the
desired DAC level at a fixed rate of 6.25mV per step. The
time for each step is determined by the frequency of the soft-
start oscillator which is defined by the resistor R
pin. The amount of time required to ramp the output voltage
