Temperature Compensation
ISL6326B supports inductor DCR sensing, or resistive
sensing techniques. The inductor DCR has a positive
temperature coefficient, which is about +0.38%/°C. Since the
voltage across inductor is sensed for the output current
information, the sensed current has the same positive
temperature coefficient as the inductor DCR.
In order to obtain the correct current information, there
should be a way to correct the temperature impact on the
current sense component. ISL6326B provides two methods:
integrated temperature compensation and external
temperature compensation.
Integrated Temperature Compensation
When the TCOMP voltage is equal or greater than VCC/15,
ISL6326B will utilize the voltage at TM and TCOMP pins to
compensate the temperature impact on the sensed current.
The block diagram of this function is shown in Figure 14.
When the TM NTC is placed close to the current sense
component (inductor), the temperature of the NTC will track
the temperature of the current sense component. Therefore
the TM voltage can be utilized to obtain the temperature of
the current sense component.
Based on VCC voltage, ISL6326B converts the TM pin
voltage to a 6-bit TM digital signal for temperature
compensation. With the non-linear A/D converter of
ISL6326B, the TM digital signal is linearly proportional to the
NTC temperature. For accurate temperature compensation,
the ratio of the TM voltage to the NTC temperature of the
practical design should be similar to that in Figure 12.
Depending on the location of the NTC and the airflow, the
NTC may be cooler or hotter than the current sense

component. The TCOMP pin voltage can be utilized to
correct the temperature difference between NTC and the
current sense component. When a different NTC type or
different voltage divider is used for the TM function, the
TCOMP voltage can also be used to compensate for the
difference between the recommended TM voltage curve in
Figure 13 and that of the actual design. According to the
VCC voltage, ISL6326B converts the TCOMP pin voltage to
a 4-bit TCOMP digital signal as TCOMP factor N.
The TCOMP factor N is an integer between 0 and 15. The
integrated temperature compensation function is disabled for
N = 0. For N = 4, the NTC temperature is equal to the
temperature of the current sense component. For N < 4, the
NTC is hotter than the current sense component. The NTC is
cooler than the current sense component for N > 4. When
N > 4, the larger TCOMP factor N, the larger the difference
between the NTC temperature and the temperature of the
current sense component.
ISL6326B multiplexes the TCOMP factor N with the TM
digital signal to obtain the adjustment gain to compensate
the temperature impact on the sensed channel current. The
compensated channel current signal is used for droop and
overcurrent protection functions.
