Product details
Overview
ISL62773AIRZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a dual-output multiphase PWM controller for AMD Fusion™ mobile CPU/GPU core power delivery, compliant with SVI 2.0 interface. It integrates three gate drivers, supports 3-/2-/1-phase Core VR and 2-/1-phase Northbridge VR, delivers 0.5% system voltage accuracy over temperature, operates from 0.5V to 1.55V in 6.25mV steps, and uses R3™ modulator technology for adaptive switching frequency and fast transient response - deployed in high-efficiency notebook power subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62773AIRZ datasheet, ISL62773AIRZ pinout, ISL62773AIRZ application, or ISL62773AIRZ equivalent, key selection criteria include SVI 2.0 serial bus compatibility (100kHz–25MHz), dual-VR shared control architecture, DCR/resistor current sensing support, differential remote sensing, and thermal monitoring via dual NTC inputs for Core and Northbridge rails.
Technical Context
The ISL62773AIRZ implements two independent voltage regulator (VR) control loops - Core VR (up to 3-phase) and Northbridge VR (up to 2-phase) - sharing a single AMD SVI 2.0 serial bus for VID programming and telemetry. Its Robust Ripple Regulator R3™ modulator dynamically adjusts switching frequency during load transients to reduce settling time while maintaining high light-load efficiency.
Each VR supports lossless DCR current sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation or precision resistor-based sensing, differential remote voltage sense (FB/VSEN/RTN), programmable load line droop, and independent OCP/WOC, OVP, UVP, and thermal fault protection. The floating PWM_Y and BOOTX/UGATEX/PHASEX/LGATEX driver enables flexible configuration for either Core Phase 3 or Northbridge Phase 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| SVI 2.0 Interface | Serial VID clock range 100kHz–25MHz; bidirectional SVD, clock SVC, telemetry SVT - enables dynamic VID-on-the-fly updates and real-time IMON/VCORE/NB_V telemetry to AMD CPU. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5V–1.55V in 6.25mV steps; supports full AMD mobile CPU core and Northbridge VID tables with ±0.5% system accuracy over –40°C to +100°C ambient. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 280–450kHz per VR; R3™ modulator auto-adjusts frequency during transients to optimize response and efficiency across load range. |
| Current Sensing | DCR-based (inductor resistance) or precision resistor sensing on both VRs; single NTC input per VR enables temperature-compensated DCR tracking. |
| Protection Features | OCP/WOC (way-overcurrent), OVP/UVP (±375mV threshold), thermal shutdown (NTC voltage ≤530mV), and phase current imbalance detection (9mV threshold). |
| Package | 48-pin 6×6mm QFN with exposed thermal pad; RoHS-compliant, Pb-free; θJA = 29°C/W, θJC = 3.5°C/W - optimized for high-power density notebook VR designs. |
Pinout & Package
ISL62773AIRZ uses a 48-lead 6×6mm QFN package with exposed GND pad for thermal dissipation. Pin functions are validated per FN8410 Rev 1.00 datasheet (Pages 8–9).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ISEN1 / ISEN2 / ISEN3 | Core VR channel enable/sense inputs | Pull to +5V disables corresponding Core phase; ISEN1 must be grounded via 10kΩ if ISEN2 is high - configures 1-/2-/3-phase Core operation. |
| ISEN1_NB / ISEN2_NB | Northbridge VR channel enable/sense inputs | Same logic as Core: ISEN2_NB high disables NB Phase 2; ISEN1_NB high shuts down entire Northbridge VR. |
| UGATE1 / LGATE1 / PHASE1 / BOOT1 | Phase 1 gate drive interface | Drives high-side/low-side MOSFETs for Core Phase 1; BOOT1–PHASE1 capacitor provides high-side gate bias; PHASE1 connects to HS source/LS drain node. |
| UGATEX / LGATEX / PHASEX / BOOTX | Floating driver for Core Phase 3 or NB Phase 1 | Configured by FCCM_NB resistor value; supports either third Core phase or first Northbridge phase - eliminates need for external driver IC. |
| SVC / SVD / SVT / PWROK | SVI 2.0 serial interface & system handshake | SVC clocks SVD data; SVT returns telemetry; PWROK high enables SVI protocol and validates system power-good sequencing per AMD guidelines. |
| VSEN / VSEN_NB / RTN | Differential remote voltage sensing | VSEN/VSEN_NB connect to +sense pins of CPU die; RTN connects to common –sense return - rejects PCB IR drop for precise regulation at point-of-load. |
| NTC / NTC_NB | Thermal monitor inputs | Accept NTC thermistors to track Core/Northbridge VR temperature; feed VR_HOT_L open-drain output for CPU thermal throttling coordination. |
| PGOOD / PGOOD_NB | Open-drain power-good indicators | Asserted after soft-start, OVP/UVP clear, and regulation achieved; require external pull-up to VDDP or 3.3V - signal VR readiness to system logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| R3™ Adaptive Modulation | Automatically increases switching frequency during load steps to reduce voltage deviation and settling time - improves transient response without sacrificing light-load efficiency. |
| Dual Independent VR Control | Single IC manages both CPU core and GPU/Northbridge power rails with separate feedback, current sensing, and protection - reduces BOM count vs. dual-controller solutions. |
| Flexible Phase Configuration | Core VR supports 1/2/3-phase; Northbridge VR supports 1/2-phase; floating PWM_Y and driver X allow hardware-selectable assignment - adapts to CPU TDP and board space constraints. |
| VID-on-the-Fly Slew Rate Control | Programmable 8–24mV/µs slew rate prevents excessive dI/dt during dynamic VID changes - maintains stable current balance and avoids false OCP triggers. |
| Integrated Thermal Monitoring | Dual NTC inputs (NTC/NTC_NB) feed dedicated thermal comparators driving VR_HOT_L - enables coordinated CPU thermal throttling and VR thermal shutdown at 530–630mV thresholds. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase VR controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL62771AIRZ | Single-output (Core-only) version; no Northbridge VR channel, no ISEN1_NB/ISEN2_NB, no VSEN_NB/COMP_NB pins; identical R3™ modulator and SVI 2.0 interface. | Supports only CPU core power; cannot replace ISL62773AIRZ in dual-rail APU designs requiring independent GPU/NB regulation. | Select when platform uses discrete GPU or separates NB power - reduces cost and layout area where dual VR not required. |
| RTQ2136BGE | Single-core 3+1 phase controller with I2C (not SVI 2.0); no native AMD serial interface; requires external level-shifting and firmware translation layer for VID updates. | Targeted at generic x86 or ARM SoC platforms; lacks SVI 2.0 telemetry (IMON_NB, SVT) and AMD-specific power state coordination. | Use only in non-AMD designs or custom firmware environments; not drop-in compatible due to interface and feature mismatch. |
Compared with ISL62773AIRZ, ISL62771AIRZ removes Northbridge functionality to lower cost and pin count but sacrifices dual-rail integration, while RTQ2136BGE offers higher phase count flexibility but lacks native SVI 2.0 compliance - making ISL62773AIRZ uniquely suited for AMD Fusion mobile APU reference designs.

The ISL62773AIRZ is rated for –40°C to +100°C ambient temperature (IRZ grade), with junction temperature up to +125°C. This extended range supports deployment in thermally demanding notebook chassis and ensures reliable operation under sustained CPU/GPU load conditions. The device's thermal monitor inputs (NTC/NTC_NB) provide real-time die temperature feedback to coordinate throttling.
Does the ISL62773AIRZ support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL62773AIRZ supports both lossless inductor DCR current sensing and precision resistor current sensing on both Core and Northbridge VR outputs. Each VR has dedicated ISUMP/ISUMN and ISUMP_NB/ISUMN_NB inputs, and the datasheet provides detailed network design equations for both methods - enabling optimization for cost, accuracy, or thermal drift compensation.
How does the ISL62773AIRZ implement AMD SVI 2.0 compliance?
The ISL62773AIRZ implements full AMD SVI 2.0 compliance via dedicated pins: SVC (clock), SVD (bidirectional data), and SVT (telemetry). It supports 100kHz–25MHz clock rates, VID-on-the-fly updates with programmable slew rate (8–24mV/µs), and real-time telemetry including IMON, VCORE, and NB_V - all synchronized to AMD's defined protocol timing and power-state transitions.
Can the ISL62773AIRZ be configured for 1-phase Core and 1-phase Northbridge operation?
Yes, the ISL62773AIRZ supports 1+1 configuration: tie ISEN2 and ISEN2_NB to +5V to disable Core Phase 2 and NB Phase 2, leaving ISEN1 and ISEN1_NB active. The floating driver (UGATEX/PHASEX/LGATEX) remains unused in this mode. Figure 6 of FN8410 shows the simplified application circuit for this low-power CPU configuration.
