Product details
Overview
ISL6266AHRZ-T from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a two-phase buck core voltage regulator implementing Intel IMVP-6+ protocol with integrated 2A gate drivers, R3 Technology™ modulator, 7-bit VID DAC (0.300V–1.500V), and differential remote CPU die sensing. It delivers up to 50A output with dynamic phase shedding, diode emulation in deep sleep, and CPU power monitoring via analog PMON output - deployed in Intel mobile platform VRMs for Pentium/Core processors.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6266AHRZ-T datasheet, ISL6266AHRZ-T pinout, ISL6266AHRZ-T application, or ISL6266AHRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include IMVP-6+ compliance, R3 modulator transient response, dual-phase CCM/DCM mode switching, DCR/resistive current sensing support, and thermal monitoring via NTC input and VR_TT#.
Technical Context
The ISL6266AHRZ-T uses R3 Technology™ - a hybrid modulator synthesizing noise-free inductor ripple current analogs for hysteretic PWM control while retaining an error amplifier for 0.5% system accuracy. Unlike fixed-frequency PWM, its switching frequency dynamically increases during load transients (280–320 kHz nominal, 100–600 kHz adjustable) to achieve faster regulation.
It implements Intel's IMVP-6+ smart voltage positioning: active-mode two-phase CCM, PSI#-triggered single-phase CCM, and DPRSLPVR-enabled deeper-sleep diode emulation. Current sensing supports lossless DCR (with NTC thermal compensation) or precision resistive methods, with static/dynamic current sharing across phases and droop-based overcurrent protection referenced to OCSET.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 0.300V to 1.500V via 7-bit VID input (12.5mV steps); enables precise microprocessor core voltage scaling per IMVP-6+ spec. |
| System Accuracy | ±0.5% over temperature (−40°C to +100°C) for VID = 0.75V–1.5V; ensures stable CPU operation under thermal stress. |
| Switching Frequency | 280–320 kHz nominal (2-channel), adjustable 100–600 kHz via VW resistor; balances efficiency, EMI, and component size. |
| Gate Drive Capability | UGATE/LGATE: 2A sink/source (UGATE), 4A sink (LGATE); drives high-side/lower-side MOSFETs directly without external drivers. |
| Current Sensing | Supports both inductor DCR (with NTC thermal compensation) and discrete resistor sensing; enables accurate load-line tracking and OCP. |
| Power Monitor Output | PMON analog output proportional to VSEN × (DROOP − VO); interfaces directly with ADC for real-time CPU power reporting. |

| PSI#, DPRSTP#, DPRSLPVR | Intel IMVP-6+ power-state control inputs | Enable dynamic phase shedding (PSI#), deeper-sleep entry/exit timing (DPRSTP#, DPRSLPVR), and mode transitions. |
| VSEN / RTN | Differential remote CPU die sense inputs | Enable closed-loop regulation at processor die using unity-gain differential amplifier - critical for IMVP-6+ compliance. |
| ISEN1 / ISEN2 | Per-phase current sense inputs | Accept DCR voltage drop or resistor voltage for channel current measurement; feed VSUM summation node. |
| UGATE1/2, LGATE1/2 | Integrated gate driver outputs | Direct drive signals for high-side and low-side MOSFETs; 2A UGATE source/sink, 4A LGATE sink capability. |
| PMON | Analog CPU power monitor output | Linear output proportional to instantaneous CPU power; connects to system ADC without signal conditioning. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6266AIRZ-T | Same silicon, extended temp range (−40°C to +100°C vs. −10°C to +100°C for HRZ variants); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Required for industrial or extended-temperature notebook designs; HRZ variants discontinued per ordering table. | Select ISL6266AIRZ-T for new designs - ISL6266AHRZ-T is no longer available or supported. |
| RT8802CGQW | Single-chip two-phase IMVP-6+ controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; supports 0.3–1.5V VID, but lacks R3 modulator and PMON output. | Suitable for cost-sensitive platforms where CPU power telemetry is not required; lower gate drive strength (1.5A UGATE). | Choose RT8802CGQW only if PMON, NTC thermal monitoring, and R3 transient performance are not needed. |
Compared with ISL6266AHRZ-T, ISL6266AIRZ-T offers identical functionality with broader operating temperature support, while RT8802CGQW provides a lower-cost alternative lacking R3 Technology™, PMON, and NTC-based thermal compensation - making ISL6266AHRZ-T optimal for thermally demanding, high-efficiency mobile VRMs requiring real-time power telemetry.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for ISL6266AHRZ-T?
The ISL6266AHRZ-T is rated for ambient temperatures from −10°C to +100°C, with junction temperature limits of −40°C to +125°C. This range supports mainstream notebook thermal environments but excludes extended-temperature industrial use - for which the ISL6266AIRZ-T (−40°C to +100°C) is recommended. All electrical specifications in the FN6398 datasheet are validated across this range.
Does ISL6266AHRZ-T support both DCR and resistive current sensing?
Yes, ISL6266AHRZ-T supports both lossless inductor DCR current sensing (with NTC thermal compensation via the NTC pin) and discrete resistive current sensing. The ISEN1 and ISEN2 pins accept either method, feeding summed current data to the VSUM node for droop generation and overcurrent protection - enabling flexible, high-accuracy load-line implementation per IMVP-6+.
How does the R3 Technology™ modulator in ISL6266AHRZ-T improve transient response?
The R3 Technology™ modulator in ISL6266AHRZ-T synthesizes noise-free analogs of inductor ripple current and applies hysteretic comparison relative to the error amplifier output. During load transients, this causes automatic switching frequency increase (up to 600 kHz), reducing regulation delay versus fixed-frequency PWM - delivering faster voltage recovery while maintaining 0.5% steady-state accuracy across the 0.300V–1.500V VID range.
What is the function of the PMON pin on ISL6266AHRZ-T?
The PMON pin on ISL6266AHRZ-T provides an analog output proportional to the product of VSEN and the droop voltage (DROOP − VO), enabling direct measurement of instantaneous CPU core power. It sources/sinks up to 2mA, operates linearly from 0.308V to 2.8V, and interfaces with system ADCs without external amplification - supporting OS-level power management and thermal throttling decisions.
Is ISL6266AHRZ-T pin-compatible with ISL6266AIRZ-T?
Yes, ISL6266AHRZ-T and ISL6266AIRZ-T share identical 48-lead 7×7 mm QFN packaging, pinout, and electrical functionality. The only difference is the specified ambient temperature range (−10°C to +100°C vs. −40°C to +100°C) and part marking (HRZ vs. AIRZ). Since ISL6266AHRZ-T is marked "no longer available or supported" in the datasheet, ISL6266AIRZ-T is the recommended drop-in replacement for new designs.
