ISL95857C
1+2+1 Voltage Regulator With Expanded Iccmax Register Range Supporting
Intel IMVP8 CFL/CNL CPUs
The
ISL95857C
provides a complete power solution for
Intel microprocessors supporting core, graphics, and
system agent rails and is compliant with Intel IMVP8.
The controller provides control and protection for three
Voltage Regulator (VR) outputs. The VR A and VR C
outputs support 1-phase operation only, while VR B is
configurable for 2- or 1-phase operation. The address
options programmable for these three outputs allow for
maximum flexibility in support of the IMVP8 CPU. All
three VRs share a common serial control bus to
communicate with the CPU and achieve lower cost and
smaller board area compared with a two-chip approach.
Based on Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™)
technology, the R3 modulator has many advantages
compared to traditional modulators. These include faster
transient settling time, variable switching frequency in
response to load transients, and improved light-load
efficiency due to diode emulation (DE) mode with
load-dependent low switching frequency.
The controller provides PWM outputs, which support
Intel DrMOS power stages (or similar) and discrete
power stages using the Intersil ISL95808 high voltage
synchronous rectified buck MOSFET driver. The
controller complies with IMVP8 PS4 power
requirements and supports compatible power stages and
drivers. The ISL95857C supports the system input power
monitor (PSYS) option. The controller supports either
DCR current sensing with a single NTC thermistor for
DCR temperature compensation, or more precision
through resistor current sensing if desired. All three
outputs feature remote voltage sense, programmable
I
MAX
, adjustable switching frequency, OC protection,
and a single VR_READY power-good indicator.
