ISL95858
3+2 Multiphase PWM Regulator for Intel IMVP8™ Desktop CPUs
Compliant with Intel IMVP8™, the
ISL95858
provides a
complete power solution for desktop microprocessors
supporting both the core (IA) and graphics (GT) rails. The
controller provides control and protection for one voltage
regulator (VR), which can be configured for 3-, 2- or 1-phase
operation. The second VR is configurable for 2- or 1-phase
operation. The VRs feature a programmable SVID address to
allow maximum flexibility in supporting desktop processor SKUs.
Both controller outputs 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
mode with load-dependent low switching frequency.
The ISL95858 has several other key features. The controller
features three integrated +12V gate drivers with two drivers on
the VR B output. 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. Both outputs feature remote voltage sense,
programmable I
MAX
, adjustable switching frequency, OC
protection and single VR_READY power-good indicator.
