Product details
Overview
ISL6262IRZ from Intersil is a two-phase buck core voltage regulator IC implementing Intel IMVP-6 protocol for mobile CPUs, featuring integrated 2A gate drivers, R3™ modulator architecture, 0.5% system output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +100°C, and dynamic phase add/drop control for active/PSI#/deeper sleep modes. It delivers up to 50A output with DCR or resistive current sensing and supports VID-adjustable 0.300V–1.500V core voltage.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6262IRZ datasheet, ISL6262IRZ pinout, ISL6262IRZ application, or ISL6262IRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include IMVP-6 compliance, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C), 48-pin 7×7 QFN package, dual-phase CCM/DCM mode transitions, and differential remote die sensing for CPU voltage regulation.
Technical Context
The ISL6262IRZ implements R3™ Robust Ripple Regulator modulation-synthesizing inductor ripple analogs for hysteretic PWM pulse-width determination while retaining an error amplifier for precise 0.5% voltage regulation. Its switching frequency is programmable from 200–500kHz via VW pin resistor.
It supports three operational modes: two-phase continuous conduction mode (CCM) at heavy load, one-phase CCM when PSI# is asserted, and single-phase diode-emulation discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) during deeper sleep (DPRSLPVR high). Current sensing uses either lossless DCR with NTC thermal compensation or precision resistive shunts, with static/dynamic current sharing across phases.

Pinout & Package
ISL6262IRZ is housed in a RoHS-compliant, Pb-free 48-lead 7mm × 7mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (PKG DWG # L48.7x7). The package supports high-power dissipation with θJA = 29°C/W and θJC = 4.5°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID0–VID6 | 7-bit digital voltage identification input | LSB-to-MSB interface to CPU for real-time core voltage selection; supports on-the-fly VID changes. |
| PSI# | Phase-select indicator input | Asserted low to command smooth transition from 2-phase to 1-phase CCM operation under medium load. |
| DPRSLPVR | Deeper Sleep Enable input | High logic enables diode-emulation DCM mode for maximum light-load efficiency in C4/C6 states. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar two-phase IMVP-6 core regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6268IRZ | Same pinout, higher 60A rating, enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 26°C/W), supports 300–1000kHz fSW. | Targeted for higher-power Core 2 Duo/Quad platforms; requires larger output capacitance and revised loop compensation. | Select ISL6268IRZ when output current exceeds 50A or board layout allows tighter thermal management. |
| RT8802AGQW | 3-phase capable, 0.5% accuracy, –40°C to +105°C, but lacks integrated DCR thermal compensation and IMVP-6-specific C4/C6 timing. | Designed for generic multi-phase VR applications-not certified for Intel IMVP-6 compliance; requires external VID translation logic. | Choose RT8802AGQW only for non-Intel platforms or custom VR designs where IMVP-6 timing sequences are not required. |
Compared with ISL6262IRZ, ISL6268IRZ offers higher current headroom and wider frequency range for future-proofing, while RT8802AGQW provides phase scalability at the cost of IMVP-6 protocol fidelity-making ISL6262IRZ the optimal choice for validated, drop-in Intel mobile CPU power delivery.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ISL6262IRZ?
The ISL6262IRZ is rated for industrial ambient operation from –40°C to +100°C, with junction temperature support up to +125°C. This extended range is validated per datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions, making it suitable for fanless laptops and ruggedized mobile devices where thermal margins are tight. The ISL6262IRZ maintains ±0.8% system output voltage accuracy across this full range.
Does the ISL6262IRZ support both DCR and resistive current sensing?
Yes, the ISL6262IRZ supports both lossless inductor DCR current sensing-with built-in NTC thermal compensation-and precision resistive current sensing using external shunt resistors. The device uses ISEN1 and ISEN2 pins for per-phase current monitoring and VSUM for total current summation, enabling accurate load-line implementation and overcurrent protection in either configuration. Both methods are detailed in Figures 26 and 27 of the ISL6262IRZ datasheet.
How does the ISL6262IRZ handle phase transitions between 2-phase and 1-phase operation?
The ISL6262IRZ performs smooth, glitch-free phase transitions using embedded R3™ modulator algorithms. When PSI# is asserted, it disables one phase while maintaining regulation via the remaining channel-no output voltage disturbance occurs. Transitions are synchronized with VID changes to ensure shared capacitor charging current. The controller ignores spurious PSI# glitches shorter than two switching periods, preventing unintended mode shifts during noisy system operation.
What is the purpose of the VR_TT# pin on the ISL6262IRZ?
The VR_TT# pin on the ISL6262IRZ is an open-drain thermal fault indicator that pulls low when the internal junction temperature exceeds the overtemperature threshold (typically 125°C). It features a 10Ω pull-down resistance for fast response and interfaces directly with system-level thermal management logic. This pin is distinct from general-purpose thermal monitors-it is tightly coupled to the regulator's die temperature and triggers within microseconds of thermal violation, ensuring safe CPU shutdown before damage occurs.
Can the ISL6262IRZ be used with non-Intel processors?
The ISL6262IRZ is specifically designed and validated for Intel IMVP-6 mobile CPUs-including Pentium M and Core Duo families-and implements protocol-specific features such as DPRSLPVR, DPRSTP#, CLK_EN#, and precise C4/C6 timing sequences. While its two-phase buck architecture may function with other processors, unsupported VID tables, missing handshake signals, and unvalidated mode transitions make it unsuitable for non-Intel applications without extensive re-engineering and qualification. For non-Intel platforms, consider general-purpose multi-phase controllers instead of ISL6262IRZ.
