Compliant with IMVP-7/VR12™, the ISL95836 provides a
complete solution for microprocessor and graphic processor
core power supply. It provides two Voltage Regulators (VRs)
with three integrated gate drivers. The first VR can be
configured as 3-, 2- or 1-phase VR while the second VR could
be configured as 2- or 1-phase VR, providing maximum
flexibility. The two VRs share the serial control bus to
communicate with the CPU and achieve lower cost and smaller
board area compared with the two-chip approach.
Based on Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator (R3) technology™,
the PWM modulator compared to traditional modulators, has
faster transient settling time, variable switching frequency
during load transients and has improved light load efficiency
with it’s ability to automatically change switching frequency.
The ISL95836 has several other key features. Both outputs
support DCR current sensing with single NTC thermistor for
DCR temperature compensation or accurate resistor current
sensing. Both outputs come with remote voltage sense,
programmable V
adjustable OC protection and separate Power-Good.
