Digital Multi-Phase Buck Controller
CHL8102/03/04/13
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Dual output 2/3/4+1-phase PWM Controller
The CHL8102/03/04 are dual-loop, digital multi-phase
buck controllers designed for CPU voltage regulation.
The CHL8113 is a single-loop, digital multiphase buck
controller ideal for Server DDR memory voltage regulation.
They are fully compliant with the Intel® VR12 and AMD®
SVI (CHL8103/04) specifications.
(CHL8102/03/04) and single output 3-phase PWM
Controller (CHL8113)
Easiest layout and fewest pins in the industry
Footprint compatible with CHL8325A/B (CHL8103/4)
Fully supports Intel® VR12 (CHL8103/04/13) and
AMD® SVI with dual OCP & programmable
addressing (CHL8103/04)
The CHL8102/03/04/13 includes IR Efficiency Shaping
Technology to deliver exceptional efficiency at minimum
cost across the entire load range. IR Dynamic Phase Control
adds/drops active phases based upon load current and can
be configured to enter 1-phase operation and diode
emulation mode automatically or by command.
I2C interface for configuration & telemetry
Pin programmable I2C address (CHL8103/04/13)
Overclocking support with I2C voltage override and
Vmax setting
IR’s unique Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA), based on
proprietary non-linear digital PWM algorithms, minimizes
output bulk capacitors and Multiple Time Programmable
(MTP) storage saves pins and enables a small package size.
Device configuration and fault parameters are easily
defined using the IR Digital Power Design Center (DPDC)
GUI and stored in on-chip MTP.
Flexible I2C bus security features
I2C security enable pin (CHL8103/04/13)
Independent loop switching frequencies from
200kHz to 1.2MHz per phase
IR Efficiency Shaping with Dynamic Phase Control
(DPC)
1-phase & Active Diode Emulation modes for light
load efficiency
The CHL8102/03/04/13 provides extensive OVP, UVP, OCP
and OTP fault protection and the CHL8103/04/13 includes
thermistor based temperature sensing with VRHOT signal.
IR Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA) on both loops
minimizes output bulk capacitors and system cost
The CHL8102/03/04/13 includes numerous features like
register diagnostics for fast design cycles and platform
differentiation, truly simplifying VRD design and enabling
fastest time-to-market (TTM) with “set-and-forget”
methodology.
