Multiphase PWM Regulator for IMVP-6.5™ Mobile CPUs and GPUs

The ISL62882 is a multiphase PWM buck regulator for miroprocessor 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 ISL62882 uses two integrated gate drivers to provide a complete solution. The PWM modulator is based on Intersils 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.
