In other cases, the designer may determine that a more
cost-effective solution can be achieved by adding droop.
Droop can help to reduce the output-voltage spike that
results from fast load-current demand changes.
The magnitude of the spike is dictated by the ESR and ESL
of the output capacitors selected. By positioning the no-load
voltage level near the upper specification limit, a larger
negative spike can be sustained without crossing the lower
limit. By adding a well controlled output impedance, the
output voltage under load can effectively be level shifted
down so that a larger positive spike can be sustained without
crossing the upper specification limit.
As shown in Figure 8, a current proportional to the average
current in all active channels, IAVG, flows from FB through a
load-line regulation resistor, RFB. The resulting voltage drop
across RFB is proportional to the output current, effectively
creating an output voltage droop with a steady-state value
defined as
VDROOP = IAVG RFB
(EQ. 8)
The regulated output voltage is reduced by the droop voltage
VDROOP. The output voltage, as a function of load current, is
derived by combining Equation 8 with the appropriate
sample current expression defined by the current sense
method employed.

VREF is the reference voltage and VOFS is the programmed
offset voltage. IOUT is the total output current of the
converter, RISEN is the sense resistor in the ISEN line, N is
the number of active channels, and RFB is the feedback
resistor. RX has a value of DCR, resistor or RDS(ON), or
RSENSE, depending on the sensing method.
Therefore, the equivalent load-line impedance, i.e. Droop
impedance, is equal to:

Output-Voltage Offset Programming
The ISL6307A allows the designer to accurately adjust the
offset voltage. When a resistor, ROFS, is connected between
OFS to VCC, the voltage across it is regulated to 1.6V. This
causes a proportional current (IOFS) to flow into OFS. If
ROFS is connected to ground, the voltage across it is
regulated to 0.4V, and IOFS flows out of OFS. A resistor
between DAC and REF, RREF, is selected so that the
product (IOFS x ROFS) is equal to the desired offset voltage.
These functions are shown in Figure 9.
Once the desired output offset voltage has been determined,
use the following formulas to set ROFS:
For Positive Offset (connect ROFS to VCC):
ROFS
=
1----.--6----×-----R-----R----E----F-

For Negative Offset (connect ROFS to GND):
