Digital Multi-Phase Buck Controller FEATURES IR3541 CHL8325A/B DESCRIPTION 5-phase dual output PWM Controller Phases are flexibly assigned between Loops 1 & 2 Intel® VR12, AMD® 400kHz & 3.4MHz SVI and Memory modes The IR3541 and CHL8325A/B are dual-loop digital multi-phase buck controllers that drive up to 5 phases. The IR3541 and CHL8325A/B are fully Intel® VR12 and AMD® SVI compliant on both loops and provides a Vtt tracking function for DDR memory. Dual OCP support for I-spike enhanced AMD CPUs SMB_Alert Pin for Servers NVM storage saves pins and enables a small package size. PMBus Address pin or Variable Gate Drive (IR3541/CHL8325A) The IR3541 and CHL8325A/B include the IR Efficiency Shaping Technology to deliver exceptional efficiency at minimum cost across the entire load range. IR Variable Gate Drive optimizes the MOSFET gate drive voltage as a function of real-time load current. IR Dynamic Phase Control adds/drops active phases based upon load current. The IR3541 and CHL8325A/B can be configured to enter 1-phase operation and active diode emulation mode automatically or by command. 2 Temperature Sense for VR12 Desktop (CHL8325B) nd Overclocking & Gaming Mode with Vmax setting Switching frequency from 200kHz to 1.2MHz per phase IR Efficiency Shaping Features including Variable Gate Drive (IR3541/CHL8325A only) and Dynamic Phase Control Programmable 1-phase or 2-phase for Light Loads and Active Diode Emulation for Very Light Loads IR Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA) on both loops minimizes output bulk capacitors and system cost Auto-Phase Detection with auto-compensation Per-Loop Fault Protection: OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP, CFP I2C/SMBus/PMBus system interface for telemetry of Temperature, Voltage, Current & Power for both loops Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) for custom configuration Compatible with IR ATL and 3.3V Tri-state Drivers +3.3V supply voltage; -20ºC to 85ºC ambient operation IR’s unique Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA), based on proprietary non-linear digital PWM algorithms, minimizes output bulk capacitors. The I2C/PMBus interface can communicate with up to 16 IR3541 and CHL8325A/B based VR loops. Device configuration and fault parameters are easily defined using the IR Intuitive Power Designer (DPDC) GUI and stored in on-chip NVM. The IR3541 and CHL8325A/B also include numerous features like register diagnostics for fast design cycles and platform differentiation, truly simplifying VRD design and enabling fastest time-to-market with its “set-and-forget” methodology.
