4+3 Multiphase R3™ PWM Regulator for Intel IMVP8™ Desktop CPUs with
SMBus Support
Compliant with Intel IMVP8™, the ISL95866 provides a
Features
complete power solution for desktop microprocessors
• Supports Intel serial data bus interface
supporting the core (IA), graphics (GT), or unsliced graphics
(GTUS or GTX). The controller provides control and protection
for two Voltage Regulators (VR). The first VR can be configured
for 4-, 3-, 2- or 1-phase operation. The second VR is
configurable for 3-, 2- or 1-phase operation. The VRs feature a
programmable SVID address to allow maximum flexibility in
supporting desktop processor SKUs. Both controller outputs share
a common serial control bus to communicate with the CPU and
achieve lower cost and smaller board area compared with a two-
chip approach.

• SMBus/PMBus/I C interface with SVID conflict free
- DROOP, OVP, and OCP enable/disable
- Voltage offset adjustment
• Green hybrid digital R3™ modulator
- Excellent transient response
- Phase shedding with power state selection
- Diode emulation in single-phase for high light-load
efficiency
Based on Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator R3™ technology,
the R3™ modulator has many advantages compared to
traditional modulators. These include faster transient settling
time, variable switching frequency in response to load
transients and improved light-load efficiency due to diode
emulation mode with load-dependent low switching frequency.
• Dual output controller
- Voltage regulator A: 4-, 3-, 2-, or 1-phase designs with two
+12V integrated gate drivers
- Voltage regulator B: 3-, 2-, or 1-phase designs with one
+12V integrated gate driver
The ISL95866 has several other key features. The controller
features three integrated +12V gate drivers with two on the
VR A output. The controller supports either DCR current
sensing with a single NTC thermistor for DCR temperature
compensation or more precision through resistor current
sensing if desired. Both outputs feature remote voltage sense,
• 0.5% system accuracy over-temperature
• Supports multiple current-sensing methods
- Lossless inductor DCR current sensing
- Precision resistor current sensing

ISL95866 features an SMBus interface, which supports
enabling or disabling droop, output voltage offset adjustment,
and disabling of OVP and OCP protections.
