Product details
Overview
E-L6919ETR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-phase synchronous buck controller IC designed for high-current microprocessor power delivery. It delivers 5-bit programmable output voltage (0.800–1.550 V, 25 mV steps), ±0.6% output accuracy, and 10% active current sharing accuracy across two 180° phase-shifted channels. Integrated 2 A high-side/1.8 A low-side gate drivers enable fast switching with adaptive anti-cross-conduction control, supporting server and workstation CPU VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the E-L6919ETR datasheet, E-L6919ETR pinout, E-L6919ETR application, or E-L6919ETR equivalent, key selection considerations include dynamic VID transition capability, differential remote sensing (FBR/FBG), dual-channel OCP using RDS(on) or sense resistors, and externally adjustable 150 kHz oscillator (doubled to 300 kHz at load).
Technical Context
The E-L6919ETR implements average current-mode control with dual-phase interleaving and 180° phase shift to reduce input/output ripple and improve transient response. Its error amplifier features 15 V/µs slew rate and 80 dB DC gain, enabling high-bandwidth regulation for microprocessor load steps.
It supports dynamic on-the-fly VID code changes-stepping output voltage in 25 mV increments per clock cycle-with PGOOD masked during transition while OVP/UVP remain active. Protection includes crowbar-based overvoltage shutdown (turning on low-side MOSFET), constant-current mode overcurrent response, and programmable soft-start (2048-step digital ramp).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Dual-phase synchronous buck with 180° phase shift - reduces input capacitor RMS current and improves thermal distribution. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.800 V to 1.550 V in 25 mV binary steps via VID0–VID4 - matches Intel Hammer-era CPU voltage requirements without external offset resistors. |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.6% over line, load, and temperature - ensures stable core voltage under varying CPU operating conditions. |
| Current Sharing Accuracy | ±10% between phases - maintains balanced thermal loading and extends MOSFET lifetime in high-power VRMs. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 150 kHz per phase (300 kHz effective at output) - adjustable via OSC pin current (6 kHz/µA gain); fixed internal reference at 1.237 V. |
| Gate Drive Capability | 2 A high-side source / 1.5 Ω sink; 1.8 A low-side source / 1.1 Ω sink - drives multiple paralleled N-MOSFETs with minimal external components. |
| Protection Features | OVP (2.05 V threshold), UVP (60% of setpoint), PGOOD window (88–112%), and constant-current OCP - latches on UVP, crowbars on OVP. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-28 (Small Outline, 28-pin, 300 mil width), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LGATE1 / LGATE2 | Low-side gate driver outputs | Drive N-channel MOSFET sources; require series resistor to damp ringing and limit peak current. |
| UGATE1 / UGATE2 | High-side gate driver outputs | Drive N-channel MOSFET gates referenced to PHASEx; bootstrapped supply required via BOOTx. |
| PHASE1 / PHASE2 | High-side driver return paths | Connect directly to HS MOSFET source pins - forms local return for high-side drivers and enables accurate RDS(on) sensing. |
| BOOT1 / BOOT2 | High-side floating supply inputs | Charge-pump supply for HS drivers; connect 100 nF capacitor to PHASEx and diode to VCC (cathode to BOOT). |
| VCCDR | Low-side driver supply | Separate 5–12 V supply for LS drivers - decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic cap to PGND for noise immunity. |
| ISEN1 / ISEN2 | Differential current sense inputs | Accept sensing across LS MOSFET RDS(on) or external resistor; routed adjacent to PGNDSx to reject common-mode noise. |
| FBR / FBG | Remote sense buffer inputs | FBR = positive load side, FBG = negative load side - enables Kelvin sensing to compensate PCB IR drop. |
| VID0–VID4 | 5-bit TTL-compatible voltage ID inputs | Logic '0' = grounded, '1' = floating (5 µA internal pull-up); configure output voltage and PGOOD/OVP thresholds per Table 1. |
| OSC/INH/FAULT | Frequency programming / inhibit / fault status | Set frequency via ROSC to GND/VCC; <0.6 V = inhibit; >4.75 V = OVP/UVP fault latch requiring VCC cycle. |
| PGOOD | Open-collector power-good indicator | Pulled low during soft-start or if VOUT outside 88–112% window - requires external pull-up to ≤5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-phase interleaved control | 180° phase shift reduces input capacitor RMS current by ~30% and cuts output inductor size vs. single-phase design. |
| Digital 2048-step soft-start | Programmable ramp prevents inrush current and ensures monotonic VOUT rise - eliminates need for external timing components. |
| Dynamic VID management | On-the-fly voltage transitions in 25 mV steps per PWM cycle - supports CPU DVFS without system reset or VRM reconfiguration. |
| Differential remote sensing | FBR/FBG inputs with 40 dB CMRR and 15 V/µs slew rate - rejects PCB noise and compensates for up to 50 mV IR drop at full load. |
| Adaptive anti-cross-conduction | 30 ns dead-time control with watchdog timer - prevents shoot-through while enabling negative inductor current recirculation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-phase synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6322IRZ | 6-bit VID (0.6–1.75 V), 0.5% accuracy, integrated MOSFET drivers rated for 3 A peak, supports 3-phase operation. | Targets newer Intel Core i-series CPUs with tighter voltage tolerances and higher current density; lacks dedicated remote sense buffer. | Preferred when upgrading to post-Hammer platforms requiring finer voltage resolution and higher drive strength. |
| TPS51220ARUKR | Single-phase only, 5-bit VID, 0.8–1.8 V range, integrated LDO for VTT, no differential remote sensing, 1.5 A gate drive. | Designed for DDR memory termination (VTT) and auxiliary rails - not suitable for primary CPU core VRM due to single-phase limitation. | Select only for secondary rail support; insufficient for high-current CPU core delivery where E-L6919ETR's dual-phase capability is essential. |
Compared with ISL6322IRZ and TPS51220ARUKR, the E-L6919ETR uniquely combines dual-phase interleaving, dedicated FBR/FBG remote sensing, and dynamic VID stepping without external compensation - making it optimal for legacy Hammer-architecture server VRMs where precision, noise immunity, and firmware-transparent voltage transitions are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported output current for E-L6919ETR?
The E-L6919ETR itself does not define a maximum output current - it is a controller IC that drives external N-channel MOSFETs. System-level current is determined by MOSFET selection, layout, thermal design, and inductor rating. Typical implementations deliver 60–120 A per phase using paralleled MOSFETs and optimized PCB copper layers.
Can E-L6919ETR operate with only one phase enabled?
No - the E-L6919ETR is designed exclusively for dual-phase operation with mandatory 180° phase shift. Both channels must be populated and configured; disabling one phase is not supported in the architecture and will result in undefined behavior or failure to regulate.
How does the remote sensing (FBR/FBG) interface function electrically?
FBR and FBG form a differential input pair to an internal unity-gain buffer. FBR connects to the positive load terminal, FBG to the negative (return) terminal. The buffer drives the VSEN pin, which feeds the error amplifier and PGOOD comparator - enabling direct regulation at the load rather than at the VRM output.
Is E-L6919ETR still in active production or obsolete?
The E-L6919ETR is marked "Obsolete Product(s)" in its official STMicroelectronics datasheet (Rev. September 2003). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers engineering support for continued use in existing designs and maintenance programs.
