The ISL6312 incorporates an internal differential
remote-sense amplifier in the feedback path. The amplifier
removes the voltage error encountered when measuring the
output voltage relative to the controller ground reference
point resulting in a more accurate means of sensing output
voltage. Connect the microprocessor sense pins to the
non-inverting input, VSEN, and inverting input, RGND, of the
remote-sense amplifier. The remote-sense output, V
connected to the inverting input of the error amplifier through
an external resistor.
Load-Line (Droop) Regulation
Some microprocessor manufacturers require a
precisely-controlled output resistance. This dependence of
output voltage on load current is often termed “droop” or
“load line” regulation. By adding a well controlled output
impedance, the output voltage can effectively be level shifted
in a direction which works to achieve the load-line regulation
required by these manufacturers.
In other cases, the designer may determine that a more
cost-effective solution can be achieved by adding droop.
Droop 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.

Therefore the equivalent loadline impedance, i.e. droop

Output-Voltage Offset Programming
The ISL6312 allows the designer to accurately adjust the
offset voltage by connecting a resistor, R
pin to VCC or GND. When R

causes a proportional current (I
