Product details
Overview
ISL6504ACBN-T from Intersil is a multiple linear power controller with ACPI control interface, integrating three linear regulators and dual switching controllers for 5VDUAL, 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB, 1.2VVID, and 1.5VSB outputs. It operates in S0–S5 ACPI states using S3/S5 digital inputs, supports external NPN/N-MOS/PMOS pass devices, and delivers ±2.0% output regulation over temperature in 16-pin SOIC wide-body package.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6504ACBN-T datasheet, ISL6504ACBN-T pinout, ISL6504ACBN-T application, or ISL6504ACBN-T equivalent, key selection criteria include S4/S5 5VDUAL retention behavior, 3.3VDUAL sleep-state NPN drive capability, VID_PG timing control via VID_CT capacitor, and fault reporting via open-drain FAULT pin tied to 5VSB.
Technical Context
The ISL6504ACBN-T implements ACPI-compliant state management through dedicated S3 and S5 digital inputs with internal 50kΩ pull-ups to 5VSB and 2μs deglitching. Its architecture separates active-state (S0/S1/S2) and sleep-state (S3/S4/S5) regulation paths: 3.3VDUAL uses an external N-channel MOSFET in active mode and NPN transistor in sleep mode, while 5VDUAL employs NMOS in active and PMOS/PNP in S3 - with ISL6504A retaining 5VDUAL in S4/S5.
It integrates four regulated outputs: 1.5VSB (always on when 5VSB present), 1.2VVID (active only in S0/S1/S2, sourced from 3.3V), 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB (dual-path linear regulator), and 5VDUAL (switch controller). Undervoltage monitoring covers all outputs and ATX inputs (3.3V, 5VSB), with centralized FAULT reporting and thermal shutdown at 155°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 1.5VSB (always-on), 1.2VVID (S0/S1/S2 only), 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB (dual-path), 5VDUAL (S0–S3 for ISL6504; S0–S5 for ISL6504A) |
| Regulation Accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature for all outputs - ensures stable voltage identification and chipset standby supply integrity |
| 5VSB Supply Current | 17mA nominal, 4mA shutdown - defines bias consumption during system sleep |
| S3/S5 Input Thresholds | High ≥2.2V, low ≤0.8V - compatible with standard ATX SLP_S3/SLP_S5 logic levels |
| Soft-Start Current | 10μA typical - sets ramp rate of output voltages via external CSS capacitor (e.g., 0.1μF yields ~30ms soft-start) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Unconditional shutdown at 155°C junction - protects against sustained overtemperature in high-power motherboard layouts |
| FAULT Output | Open-drain, pulled to 5VSB on fault - signals undervoltage, overtemperature, or illegal state transitions to system controller |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four ACPI-controlled outputs | Enables single-chip compliance with Intel's ACPI specification for motherboard power sequencing across S0–S5 states |
| S4/S5 5VDUAL retention (ISL6504A) | Differentiates ISL6504A from ISL6504 by maintaining 5VDUAL during suspend-to-disk/soft-off - critical for wake-on-LAN or USB charging |
| Integrated undervoltage monitoring | Centralized FAULT reporting for all four outputs and ATX inputs eliminates need for discrete supervisors |
| Programmable VID_PG delay | VID_CT capacitor allows precise tuning of 1.2VVID power-good assertion timing relative to processor VID requirements |
| Thermal protection with hysteresis | Shuts down all outputs at 155°C; resumes only after 5VSB power cycle - prevents thermal runaway in compact layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiple-output ACPI power controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6504CBN-T | Same functionality and pinout, but ISL6504 (non-A) shuts down 5VDUAL in S4/S5 states | Not suitable where persistent 5VDUAL is required for wake-on-LAN or USB charging during S4/S5 | Select ISL6504ACBN-T when S4/S5 5VDUAL retention is mandatory; otherwise ISL6504CBN-T offers identical performance at lower cost |
| RT8205AZSP | Single-chip 5-phase VRM controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; no native S4/S5 5VDUAL retention or 1.5VSB regulator | Designed for CPU core voltage regulation, not auxiliary rail management; lacks ACPI sleep-state logic | Use only if redesigning for modern VRM architecture; not a functional replacement for ISL6504ACBN-T's auxiliary rail and ACPI state control |
Compared with ISL6504CBN-T, ISL6504ACBN-T adds S4/S5 5VDUAL persistence - essential for wake-on-LAN - while RT8205AZSP serves a different application domain (CPU VRM vs. auxiliary rail control), making it unsuitable as a direct alternative.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between ISL6504ACBN-T and ISL6504CBN-T?
The ISL6504ACBN-T retains 5VDUAL output during S4/S5 sleep states (suspend-to-disk/soft-off), whereas ISL6504CBN-T shuts down 5VDUAL in those states. This distinction enables wake-on-LAN and USB charging functionality in deep sleep modes. Both share identical pinout, package, and all other electrical characteristics - only the S4/S5 5VDUAL behavior differs per Table 1 in the FN9062 datasheet.
How does ISL6504ACBN-T manage 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB regulation across ACPI states?
The ISL6504ACBN-T uses dual-path regulation for 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB: in active states (S0/S1/S2), it connects ATX 3.3V directly via an external N-channel MOSFET driven by DLA; in sleep states (S3/S4/S5), it regulates from 5VSB using an external NPN transistor driven by 3V3DLSB. This architecture minimizes conduction loss in active mode and ensures stable standby voltage without requiring separate regulators.
What is the purpose of the VID_CT pin on ISL6504ACBN-T, and how is it configured?
The VID_CT pin on ISL6504ACBN-T sets the delay before VID_PG asserts valid 1.2VVID power-good status. An internal 10μA current source charges an external capacitor connected from VID_CT to GND. The delay follows C = tDELAY/125000 (with C in farads); for example, a 1nF capacitor yields ~8μs delay. This ensures VID_PG aligns precisely with processor VID timing requirements during power-up.
Can ISL6504ACBN-T be used in new designs despite its obsolete status?
Yes - ISL6504ACBN-T remains viable for legacy-support and long-lifecycle programs where functional equivalence and SOIC footprint compatibility are critical. While marked "OBSOLETE PRODUCT" with "NO RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT" in the datasheet, Aetrix Electronics provides traceable, tested inventory and supply-chain continuity support to sustain production for existing platforms requiring this exact ACPI power controller behavior.
How does the FAULT pin on ISL6504ACBN-T respond to undervoltage conditions?
The FAULT pin on ISL6504ACBN-T is an open-drain output pulled to 5VSB during any undervoltage event on controlled outputs (1.5VSB, 1.2VVID, 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB, 5VDUAL) or monitored ATX inputs (3.3V, 5VSB), as well as overtemperature (>140°C). It does not latch off the IC unless the fault occurs during soft-start; external latching requires pulling SS low. A 1kΩ pull-down resistor to GND is required for proper logic-level signaling.
