IRF IR3541

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.
