DATASHEET To request the full datasheet, please visit www.intersil.com/products/isl95833b Dual 2+1 PWM Controller for IMVP-7/VR12 CPUs ISL95833B Features 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 VCORE, 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. • Serial data bus 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. • Supports multiple current sensing methods - Lossless inductor DCR current sensing - Precision resistor current sensing 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. • Resistor programmable IMAX and switching frequency (400kHz ~ 600kHz) for both outputs • Dual outputs: - Configurable 2- or 1-phase for the 1st output using one integrated gate driver - 1-phase for the 2nd output using an integrated gate driver • R3™ Modulator - Excellent transient response - High light load efficiency • 0.5% system accuracy over-temperature • Differential remote voltage sensing • Programmable VBOOT voltage at start-up • Adaptive body diode conduction time reduction Applications • IMVP-7/VR12 compliant computers VIN VR2 VIN 0.91 VR1 0.89 ISL6208 DRIVER 0.88 VOUT (V) ISL95833B VIN = 19V 0.90 VIN 0.87 0.86 0.85 0.84 0.83 VIN = 12V 0.82 VIN = 8V 0.81 0.80 0 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 66 IOUT (A) FIGURE 1.
