Dual 2+1 PWM Controller for IMVP-7/VR12 CPUs
ISL95833B
The ISL95833B Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller IC
provides a complete solution for IMVP-7/VR12™ compliant
microprocessor and graphic processor core power supplies. It
provides the control and protection for two Voltage Regulators
(VRs). The first VR, typically for V
CORE
, incorporates 1
integrated driver and can operate in 2- or 1-phase
configurations. The second VR, typically for graphics, is a
single phase regulator incorporating an integrated driver. The
two VRs share a serial control bus to communicate with the
CPU and achieve lower cost and smaller board area compared
with the two-chip approach.
Both VRs utilize Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator
R3 Technology™. The R3 modulator has numerous advantages
compared to traditional modulators, including faster transient
response, variable switching frequency during load transients,
and improved light load efficiency due to its ability to
automatically change switching frequency.
The ISL95833B has several other key features. Both outputs
support either DCR current sensing with a single NTC
thermistor for DCR temperature compensation, or more
precise resistor current sensing if desired. Both outputs come
with remote voltage sense, programmable VBOOT voltage,
IMAX, and switching frequency, adjustable overcurrent
protection and separate Power-Good signals.
