ACPI Regulator/Controller for Dual Channel DDR Memory Systems

   The ISL6537A provides a complete ACPI compliant power solution for up to 4 DIMM dual channel DDR/DDR2 Memory systems. Included are both a synchronous buck controller to supply VDDQ during S0/S1 and S3 states. During S0/S1 state, a fully integrated sink-source regulator generates an accurate (VDDQ/2) high current VTT voltage without the need for a negative supply. A buffered version of the VDDQ/2 reference is provided as VREF. A second PWM controller, which requires external MOSFET drivers, is available for regulation of the GMCH Core voltage. An LDO controller is also integrated for the CPU VTT termination voltage regulation and the DAC.
