Static Mode of Operation - Static Droop Using DCR
Sensing
The ISL6261A has an internal differential amplifier to
accurately regulate the voltage at the processor die.
For DCR sensing, the process to compensate the DCR
resistance variation takes several iterative steps. Figure 2
shows the DCR sensing method. Figure 9 shows the
simplified model of the droop circuitry. The inductor DC
current generates a DC voltage drop on the inductor DCR.
Equation 15 gives this relationship.
An R-C network senses the voltage across the inductor to
get the inductor current information. R
network consisting of R
will be discussed in the next section.
The first step in droop load line compensation is to choose
R
at light loads between the VSUM and VO nodes. As a rule of
thumb, the voltage drop across the R
be 0.5 to 0.8 times V
a fairly reasonable amount of light load signal from which to
derive the droop voltage.
The NTC network resistor value is dependent on the
temperature and is given by Equation 16:

The inductor DCR is a function of the temperature and is
approximately given by Equation 18:
