Multiphase PWM Regulator for AMD Fusion™ Desktop CPUs Using SVI 2.0
The ISL95712 is fully compliant with AMD Fusion™ SVI 2.0 and
Features
provides a complete solution for microprocessor and graphics
• Supports AMD SVI 2.0 serial data bus interface and PMBus
- Serial VID clock frequency range 100kHz to 25MHz
• Dual output controller with 12V integrated core gate drivers
• Precision voltage regulation
processor core power. The ISL95712 controller supports two
Voltage Regulators (VRs) for Core and Northbridge outputs. The
Core VR can be configured for 4-, 3-, 2-, or 1-phase operation while
the Northbridge VR supports 3-, 2- or 1-phase configurations for
maximum flexibility. The two VRs share a serial control bus to
communicate with the AMD CPU and achieve lower cost and
smaller board area compared with two-chip solutions.
- 0.5% system accuracy over-temperature
- 0.5V to 1.55V in 6.25mV steps
- Enhanced load line accuracy
The PWM modulator is based on Intersil’s Robust Ripple
Regulator R3™ Technology. Compared to traditional modulators,
the R3™ modulator can automatically change switching
frequency for faster transient settling time during load transients
and improved light load efficiency.
• Supports multiple current sensing methods
- Lossless inductor DCR current sensing
- Precision resistor current sensing
• Programmable 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-phase for the core output and
1- , 2- or 3-phase for the Northbridge output
The ISL95712 has several other key features. Both outputs
support DCR current sensing with a single NTC thermistor for
DCR temperature compensation or accurate resistor current
sensing. They also utilize remote voltage sense, adjustable
switching frequency, OC protection and power-good indicators.
• Adaptive body diode conduction time reduction
• Superior noise immunity and transient response
• Output current and voltage telemetry
• Differential remote voltage sensing
Applications
• AMD Fusion CPU/GPU core power
• High efficiency across entire load range
• Programmable slew rate
• Desktop computers
• Programmable VID offset and droop on both outputs
• Programmable switching frequency for both outputs
• Excellent dynamic current balance between phases
• Protection: OCP/WOC, OVP, PGOOD and thermal monitor
• Small footprint 52 Ld 6x6 QFN package
- Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
