Product details
Overview
ADP3180JRU-REEL from Analog Devices is a 6-bit programmable, 2-/3-/4-phase synchronous buck controller for Intel VRM/VRD 10-compliant CPU core supplies. It delivers 0.8375 V to 1.6 V output with ±14.5 mV worst-case differential sensing error over temperature, logic-level PWM outputs for external high-power drivers, and active per-phase current balancing. It targets desktop PC power supplies for next-generation Intel processors.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3180JRU-REEL datasheet, ADP3180JRU-REEL pinout, ADP3180JRU-REEL application, or ADP3180JRU-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include phase configurability (2/3/4), VID-programmable output voltage range, current-sense accuracy for load-line positioning, soft-start and latch-off delay programmability, and compatibility with ADP3413/ADP3418 gate drivers.
Technical Context
The ADP3180JRU-REEL implements a multimode fixed-frequency PWM architecture with internal 6-bit VID DAC compliant with Intel VRD/VRM 10 specifications. Its oscillator frequency (up to 245 kHz per phase) is set via an external RT resistor and divided by the number of active phases (2, 3, or 4).
It uses differential remote sensing (FB/FBRTN) referenced to the processor's sense ground, integrates a dedicated current sense amplifier (CSA) with programmable gain for accurate total output current measurement, and supports dynamic on-the-fly VID code changes with 250 µs PWRGD/CROWBAR blanking to prevent false fault assertions during voltage transitions.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8375 V to 1.6 V, digitally programmed via 6-bit VID inputs per Intel VRD/VRM 10 |
| Differential Sensing Error | ±14.5 mV worst-case over 0°C to 85°C, enabling tight regulation at low voltages |
| Phase Configuration | Selectable 2-, 3-, or 4-phase operation via PWM3/PWM4 grounding, supporting scalable current delivery |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 245 kHz per phase (master clock up to 980 kHz), set by external RT resistor |
| Current Limit Threshold | Programmable via ILIMIT pin resistor; 10.4 mV/µA scaling enables precise overcurrent trip point setting |
| Power Good Delay | Programmable via DELAY pin RC network; accommodates on-the-fly VID changes without false PWRGD assertion |
| Soft-Start Time | Controlled by same DELAY pin RC network; limits inrush current during power-up |
Pinout & Package
ADP3180JRU-REEL is housed in a 28-lead TSSOP (RU-28) package with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices ADP3180 datasheet Rev. A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID0–VID5 | Voltage Identification Inputs | 6-bit digital interface to CPU; sets nominal output voltage (0.8375–1.6 V) and enables "No CPU" shutdown when open |
| FB / FBRTN | Differential Feedback Inputs | Remote sense pair referenced to processor ground; enables accurate regulation at load point with minimal offset error |
| PWM1–PWM4 | Logic-Level PWM Outputs | Drive external high-current gate drivers (e.g., ADP3418); phase count configured by grounding PWM3/PWM4 |
| SW1–SW4 | Per-Phase Current Balance Inputs | Monitor switch-node voltage for active current balancing; unused SW pins must be left open |
| CSREF / CSSUM / CSCOMP | Current Sense Interface | CSREF = common reference point; CSSUM = summing node for inductor currents; CSCOMP = compensation point for load-line slope and response |
| ILIMIT / DELAY / RT / RAMPADJ | Configuration Terminals | ILIMIT sets current limit threshold; DELAY sets soft-start and latch-off delay; RT sets master clock; RAMPADJ adjusts internal PWM ramp slope |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6322IRZ | 6-bit VID, 2-/3-/4-phase, but uses different current sensing architecture (single-ended vs. differential) and lacks integrated RAMPADJ control | Designed for Intel VRM 11.0/11.1; requires external ramp generator and has higher typical VOS(CSA) | Choose ISL6322IRZ only if migrating to VRM 11.0-compliant platforms with existing layout accommodating its pinout and sensing method |
| TPS51220ARGER | Supports 2-/3-phase only; integrates MOSFET drivers (no external driver needed); lower max output voltage (1.5 V) and no RAMPADJ pin | Targeted at cost-sensitive mobile/embedded designs; not VRM 10-compliant; lacks VID OTF blanking and crowbar features | Choose TPS51220ARGER for space-constrained, driver-integrated solutions where VRM 10 compliance and advanced protection are not required |
Compared with ISL6322IRZ and TPS51220ARGER, ADP3180JRU-REEL offers superior differential sensing accuracy (±14.5 mV), full VRM 10 compliance including VID OTF blanking, and flexible RAMPADJ-based PWM slope control-making it optimal for high-performance desktop VRM modules demanding precision and robustness.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ADP3180JRU-REEL?
The ADP3180JRU-REEL is specified for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C ambient. Its junction temperature is rated up to 125°C, and it includes UVLO circuitry that disables operation below 6.5 V on VCC to ensure safe startup and shutdown behavior across this range. This makes ADP3180JRU-REEL suitable for standard desktop motherboard environments without forced airflow constraints.
How does the ADP3180JRU-REEL configure 2-phase versus 4-phase operation?
The ADP3180JRU-REEL detects phase count automatically during startup by monitoring PWM3 and PWM4 pin voltages. Leaving both pins floating configures 4-phase mode; grounding PWM4 selects 3-phase; grounding both PWM3 and PWM4 selects 2-phase. The detection occurs within the first two oscillator cycles, after which the pins become active logic-level outputs. This eliminates need for configuration registers or external logic, simplifying board design for ADP3180JRU-REEL.
Can the ADP3180JRU-REEL support dynamic VID changes while the system is running?
Yes, the ADP3180JRU-REEL fully supports on-the-fly VID code changes during normal operation. When VID inputs transition, ADP3180JRU-REEL blanks PWRGD and CROWBAR outputs for ≥250 µs to prevent false fault assertions, and ignores VID input skew for ≥400 ns. This allows seamless voltage scaling for Intel processor performance states without requiring system reset or power cycle-critical for ADP3180JRU-REEL deployment in modern desktop VRMs.
What external components are required to set the switching frequency of the ADP3180JRU-REEL?
The ADP3180JRU-REEL switching frequency is set solely by an external resistor (RT) connected between the RT pin and GND. The master clock frequency (up to 980 kHz) is determined by RT value per the graph in the datasheet (TPC 1), then divided by the number of active phases (2, 3, or 4) to yield per-phase frequency. No capacitor or additional passive components are required-only a precision metal-film resistor is needed for stable ADP3180JRU-REEL frequency programming.
Does the ADP3180JRU-REEL integrate MOSFET gate drivers?
No, the ADP3180JRU-REEL does not integrate MOSFET gate drivers. It provides logic-level PWM outputs (PWM1–PWM4) designed to interface directly with external high-current gate driver ICs such as the ADP3413 or ADP3418. This architecture allows designers to select drivers optimized for specific Rds(on), gate charge, and thermal requirements-enhancing flexibility and efficiency in ADP3180JRU-REEL-based VRM designs.
