New multiphase PWM regulators from Intersil targeted for Intel Mobile Embedded CPUs

Intersil has introduced the new ISL62882 and ISL62883 compact multiphase PWM regulators that comply with the Intel Mobile Voltage Positioning (IMVP-6.5TM) specification, and suitable for Intel-based mobile handsets, notebooks, network systems and embedded designs, including the new Capella platform based on the Ibex Peak-M chipset.

The two regulator supports various CPUs using programmable 3-phase, 2-phase or 1-phase operation. Configurable overshoot reduction capabilities provide minimal Vout overshoot, which pre-empts voltage misreadings and the potential for product underperformance or failure. Both devices feature phase dropping, diode emulation, adaptive body diode conduction time reduction to optimize light load efficiency and FB2 (full buffering) to optimize transient response and Z(f) in 1-phase mode. In addition, the ISL62882 provides a split LGATE function that further improves efficiency.

Package: Compact 40-lead QFN package
Price: Starts at each $3.93 in 1k pieces
Availability: Now
