allows the termination voltage to float during the S3 sleep

Active to Sleep (S0 to S3 Transition)
When SLP_S3 goes LOW with SLP_S5 still HIGH, the
ISL6548A will disable all the regulators except for the V
regulator, which is continually supplied by the 5VDUAL rail.
VIDPGD will also transition LOW. When V

Sleep to Active (S3 to S0 Transition)
When SLP_S3 transitions from LOW to HIGH with SLP_S5
held HIGH and after the 12V rail exceeds POR, the
ISL6548A will initiate the soft-start sequence. This sequence
is very similar to the mechanical start soft-start sequencing.

are enabled and soft-started in the same sequence as the
mechanical cold start sequence, with the exception that the

Active to Shutdown (S0 to S5 Transition)
When the system transitions from active, S0, state to
shutdown, S4/S5, state, the ISL6548A IC disables all
regulators and forces the VIDPGD pin LOW. This transition

Fault Protection
The ISL6548A monitors the V
overvoltage events. The V
protection. The internal V
for under and overvoltage events. All other regulators, with the
exception of the ICH7 LDO, are monitored for undervoltage
events.
An overvoltage event on either the V
regulator will cause an immediate shutdown of all regulators.
This can only be cleared by toggling the SLP_S5 signal such
that the system enters the S5 sleep state and then
transitions back to the active, S0, state.
If a regulator experiences any other fault condition (an
undervoltage or an overcurrent on V
and only that regulator, will be disabled and an internal fault
counter will be incremented by 1. If the disabled regulator is
used as the input for another regulator, then that cascoded
regulator will also experience a fault condition due to a loss of
input. The cascoded regulator will be disabled and the fault
counter incremented by 1.
At every fault occurrence, the internal fault counter is
incremented by 1 and an internal Fault Reset Counter is
cleared to zero. The Fault Reset Counter will increment once
for every clock cycle (1 clock cycle is typically 1/250kHz, or
4µs). If the Fault Reset Counter reaches a count of 16384
before another fault occurs, then the Fault Counter is
cleared to 0. If a fault occurs prior to the Fault Reset Counter
reaching a count of 16384, then the Fault Reset Counter is
set back to zero.
The ISL6548A will immediately shut down when the Fault
Counter reaches a count of 4 when the system is restarting
from an S5 state into the active, or S0, state. The ISL6548A
will immediately shut down when the Fault Counter reaches
a count of 5 at any other time.
The 16384 counts that are required to reset the Fault Reset
Counter represent 8 soft-start cycles, as one soft-start cycle is
2048 clock cycles. This allows the ISL6548A to attempt at least
one full soft-start sequence to restart the faulted regulators.
When attempting to restart a faulted regulator, the ISL6548A
will follow the preset start up sequencing. If a regulator is
already in regulation, then it will not be affected by the start
up sequencing.

The overcurrent function protects the switching converter from
a shorted output by using the upper MOSFET on-resistance,

converter’s efficiency and reduces cost by eliminating a
current sensing resistor.
The overcurrent function cycles the soft-start function in a
hiccup mode to provide fault protection. A resistor (R
