Multiphase PWM Regulator for IMVP-6.5 Mobile CPUs and GPUs
Sep 1, 2022
The ISL62883C is a multiphase PWM buck regulator for
Features
microprocessor or graphics processor core power supply. The
multiphase buck converter uses interleaved phases to reduce
the total output voltage ripple with each phase carrying a
portion of the total load current, providing better system
performance, superior thermal management, lower
component cost, reduced power dissipation, and smaller
implementation area. The ISL62883C uses two integrated
gate drivers and an external gate driver to provide a complete
solution. The PWM modulator is based on the Intersil Robust
Ripple Regulator (R3™) technology. Compared with traditional
modulators, the R3 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.

• Superior noise immunity and transient response
• Current monitor and thermal monitor
• Differential remote voltage sensing
specifications. It responds to PSI# and DPRSLPVR signals by
adding or dropping PWM3 and Phase 2 respectively, adjusting
the overcurrent protection threshold accordingly, and entering
and exiting Diode Emulation mode. It reports the regulator
output current through the IMON pin. It senses the current by
using either a 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. In 2-phase configuration, the
ISL62883C offers the FB2 function to optimize 1-Phase
performance.
