DESCRIPTION
The IR3564A/70A is a dual-loop digital multi-phase buck
controller designed for CPU voltage regulation and is fully
compliant with AMD® SVI1 & SVI2 and Intel® VR12 & VR12.5
specifications.
The IR3564A/70A includes IR’s Efficiency Shaping Technology
to deliver exceptional efficiency at minimum cost across the
entire load range. IR’s Dynamic Phase Control adds/drops
active phases based upon load current and can be configured
to enter 1-phase operation and diode emulation mode
automatically or by command.
IR’s unique Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA), based on
proprietary non-linear digital PWM algorithms, minimizes
output bulk capacitors and Multiple Time Programmable
(MTP) storage saves pins and enables a small package size.
Device configuration and fault parameters are easily defined
using the IR Digital Power Design Center (DPDC) GUI and
stored in on-chip MTP.
The IR3564A/70A provides extensive OVP, UVP, OCP and OTP
fault protection and includes thermistor based temperature
sensing with VRHOT signal.
The IR3564A/70A includes numerous features like register
diagnostics for fast design cycles and platform differentiation,
simplifying VRD design and enabling fastest time-to-market
(TTM) with “set-and-forget” methodology.
