ISL62884C
Single-Phase PWM Regulator for IMVP-6™ Mobile CPUs
The ISL62884C is a single-phase PWM buck regulator
for microprocessor core power supply. It uses an
integrated gate drivers to provide a complete solution.
The PWM modulator of ISL62884C is based on
Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R
3
™) technology.
Compared with traditional modulators, the R
3
™
modulator commands variable switching frequency
during load transients, achieving faster transient
response. With the same modulator, the switching
frequency is reduced at light load, increasing the
regulator efficiency.
The ISL62884C is fully compliant with IMVP-6™
specifications. It responds to DPRSLPVR signals by
entering/exiting diode emulation mode. It reports the
regulator output current through the IMON pin. It
senses the current by using either discrete resistor or
inductor DCR whose variation over-temperature can be
thermally compensated by a single NTC thermistor. It
uses differential remote voltage sensing to accurately
regulate the processor die voltage. The adaptive body
diode conduction time reduction function minimizes the
body diode conduction loss in diode emulation mode.
User-selectable overshoot reduction function offers an
option to aggressively reduce the output capacitors as
well as the option to disable it for users concerned
about increased system thermal stress.
