Product details
Overview
ISL6504ACBN from Intersil is a multiple linear power controller with ACPI control interface, integrating three linear regulators and dual switching controllers for 1.5VSB, 1.2VVID, 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB, and 5VDUAL voltage planes in ATX-compliant motherboard designs. It operates in S0–S5 ACPI states using S3/S5 digital inputs, delivers ±2.0% output regulation over temperature, and supports 0°C to 70°C ambient operation in 16-pin wide-body SOIC package.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6504ACBN datasheet, ISL6504ACBN pinout, ISL6504ACBN application, or ISL6504ACBN equivalent, key selection criteria include its S4/S5 sleep-state behavior (5VDUAL remains active), integrated undervoltage monitoring with centralized FAULT reporting, thermal shutdown at 155°C, and compatibility with external NPN/N-MOS/PMOS pass devices for regulated outputs.
Technical Context
The ISL6504ACBN implements four independent regulated outputs: internal 1.5VSB (VOUT1) sourced from 3V3DL, internal 1.2VVID (VOUT2) active only in S0/S1/S2 and sourced from 3V3, external 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB (VOUT3) controlled via 3V3DLSB base drive and DLA gate drive, and 5VDUAL (VOUT4) switched via 5VDLSB gate control and DLA pull-up. All outputs feature dedicated undervoltage detection with 10μs timeout and hysteresis ranging from 60mV to 200mV.
Its ACPI state machine enforces legal transitions only between active (S0/S1/S2) and sleep (S3, S4/S5) states-no direct S3↔S4/S5 transition is allowed. The 200μs S3 delay timer ensures synchronized entry into S3 or S4/S5 based on S5 status, while 5VSB POR initiates soft-start using a 10μA current source charging an external CSS capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | 0°C to 70°C ambient - defines commercial-grade use in desktop motherboard VRM subsystems |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four ACPI-controlled voltage rails | Simultaneously manages 5VDUAL (USB/keyboard), 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB (PCI/LAN), 1.2VVID (processor ID), and 1.5VSB (ICH4 resume well) under full ACPI state control |
| S4/S5 5VDUAL retention | Enables system wake-from-disk by maintaining 5V to USB peripherals and network controllers during S4/S5 sleep - unique to ISL6504A variants |
| Integrated undervoltage monitoring | Centralized FAULT pin reports UV on all four outputs plus 3V3 and 5VSB inputs, eliminating need for discrete supervisors |
| Programmable soft-start | External CSS capacitor sets ramp time for all outputs; prevents inrush-induced 5VSB collapse during cold start or resume |
| Thermal protection with hysteresis | Reports FAULT at 140°C and shuts down at 155°C; resumes only after full 5VSB power cycle - prevents latch-up during transient overheating |
Applications
| Desktop Motherboard Power Management | ACPI-Compliant Suspend-to-Disk Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiple linear power controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6504CBN | Identical pinout and function except 5VDUAL shuts down in S4/S5 sleep states | Not suitable for resume-from-disk; appropriate only for S3-only suspend systems | Select ISL6504CBN only if S4/S5 5V retention is not required and cost minimization is prioritized |
| RT8205A | Single-chip solution with integrated MOSFET drivers; supports 1.5V/1.2V/3.3V/5V rails but lacks S4/S5 5VDUAL retention logic | Requires external AC/DC controller for 5VSB bias; no native 5VSB POR or VID_CT timing control | Consider RT8205A for new designs where integrated drivers reduce external component count, but verify S4 wake capability via system-level testing |
Compared with ISL6504CBN and RT8205A, the ISL6504ACBN uniquely guarantees 5VDUAL availability throughout S4/S5 sleep-critical for legacy BIOS-based resume-from-disk-while retaining identical SOIC footprint and control interface, enabling drop-in replacement where S4 functionality is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between ISL6504ACBN and ISL6504CBN?
The ISL6504ACBN maintains 5VDUAL output during S4/S5 sleep states, whereas ISL6504CBN shuts down 5VDUAL in S4/S5. This distinction enables resume-from-disk functionality in systems using ISL6504ACBN. Both share identical pinout, package, and all other electrical specifications-including ±2.0% output regulation, 10μA soft-start current, and 155°C thermal shutdown-making ISL6504ACBN a direct functional upgrade for S4-supporting designs.
How does the ISL6504ACBN handle undervoltage conditions on its outputs?
The ISL6504ACBN monitors all four regulated outputs (1.5VSB, 1.2VVID, 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB, 5VDUAL) plus 3V3 and 5VSB inputs for undervoltage. When any monitored voltage falls below its rising threshold (e.g., 1.25V for 1.5VSB, 2.75V for 3V3), the open-drain FAULT pin is pulled high to 5VSB. No automatic latch-off occurs for externally switched outputs; only internally regulated outputs (1.5VSB, 1.2VVID) shut down upon UV detection. The FAULT signal requires external 1kΩ pull-down.
Can the ISL6504ACBN be used in new designs despite its obsolete status?
Yes-ISL6504ACBN remains viable for legacy-compatible motherboard repairs, spare-part fulfillment, and backward-compatible industrial systems where S4/S5 5VDUAL retention is required. While Intersil lists it as obsolete with no recommended replacement, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified inventory and provides full technical documentation. New designs should evaluate modern alternatives like Renesas ISL6504A derivatives or Richtek RT8205A, but ISL6504ACBN is fully supported for existing platform continuity.
What is the role of the SS pin on the ISL6504ACBN and how is it used for shutdown?
The SS (Soft-Start) pin on the ISL6504ACBN serves dual functions: it controls output ramp-up via an internal 10μA current source charging an external capacitor, and acts as a global shutdown input. Pulling SS below 0.8V with an open-drain device sinks ≥2mA, forcing immediate shutdown of all pass elements and driving FAULT low. Release of SS initiates a full soft-start sequence. This feature enables system-level power sequencing and emergency fault recovery without cycling 5VSB.
Does the ISL6504ACBN require external pass transistors for all its regulated outputs?
No-the ISL6504ACBN integrates pass elements only for 1.5VSB (VOUT1) and 1.2VVID (VOUT2); these outputs do not require external transistors. However, 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB (VOUT3) and 5VDUAL (VOUT4) rely on external devices: 3V3DLSB drives an NPN for sleep-state 3.3V regulation, DLA drives NMOS for active-state 3.3V/5V connection, and 5VDLSB drives PMOS/PNP for 5VSB-fed 5VDUAL in sleep. This architecture optimizes efficiency across ACPI states.
