Product details
Overview
ISL62881BHRTZ from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a single-phase PWM buck regulator IC designed for IMVP-6.5™-compliant core power delivery to mobile CPUs and GPUs. It integrates high- and low-side gate drivers, supports 7-bit VID input (0.0125V–1.500V), delivers ±0.5% system voltage accuracy over temperature, and implements Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) technology for adaptive switching frequency up to 500kHz in transient events - enabling fast load-step response in notebook CPU/GPU VR applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62881BHRTZ datasheet, ISL62881BHRTZ pinout, ISL62881BHRTZ application, or ISL62881BHRTZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its split LGATE driver architecture for light-load efficiency, VR_TT# thermal throttling output, NTC-based DCR current-sense compensation, differential remote sensing (VSEN/RTN), and IMON analog current monitor output - all within a RoHS-compliant 32-lead 5×5 TQFN package.
Technical Context
The ISL62881BHRTZ implements Intel IMVP-6.5™ protocol with a patented R3™ modulator that dynamically adjusts switching frequency during load transients while reducing frequency at light load to boost efficiency. Its dual LGATE outputs (LGATEa always active, LGATEb gated by DPRSLPVR) enable diode emulation mode with adaptive body diode conduction time reduction.
It supports both lossless inductor DCR and precision resistor current sensing, with thermally compensated droop via single NTC on NTC pin. Differential remote sensing (VSEN/RTN) ensures die-level voltage regulation accuracy, and the VR_TT# output asserts low when NTC voltage falls below 1.18V - indicating thermal overload condition per IMVP-6.5™ thermal throttling requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase IMVP-6.5™ VR applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL62881HRTZ | Lacks VR_TT# and split LGATE; uses single LGATE; no thermal throttling output | Suitable only for CPU VR without host thermal management requirements | Select ISL62881HRTZ only if VR_TT# and light-load efficiency gains are unnecessary |
| RT8802CGQW | Supports IMVP-7, not IMVP-6.5™; higher max fSW (1.2 MHz); no NTC-based DCR compensation | Requires VID table re-mapping and different current-sense calibration | Choose RT8802CGQW only for new IMVP-7 designs; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with ISL62881HRTZ, ISL62881BHRTZ adds thermal throttling and light-load efficiency via split LGATE, while RT8802CGQW targets newer IMVP-7 platforms with higher frequency but lacks NTC compensation - making ISL62881BHRTZ the sole fit for legacy IMVP-6.5™ notebooks requiring thermal awareness.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the VR_TT# pin on the ISL62881BHRTZ?
The VR_TT# pin on the ISL62881BHRTZ is an open-drain thermal throttle indicator that asserts low when the NTC pin voltage falls below 1.20V - signaling thermal overload per IMVP-6.5™ specification. This output directly interfaces with the processor's thermal management logic to initiate throttling, and it is exclusive to the ISL62881BHRTZ (not present on ISL62881HRTZ). The ISL62881BHRTZ uses this signal to enable autonomous, hardware-based thermal response without host software intervention.
How does the split LGATE architecture in ISL62881BHRTZ improve light-load efficiency?
The ISL62881BHRTZ implements two independent low-side gate drivers: LGATEa (always active) and LGATEb (gated by DPRSLPVR). During light-load diode emulation mode, LGATEb is disabled while LGATEa remains active - reducing gate drive losses and eliminating unnecessary switching of the secondary MOSFET. This architecture increases light-load efficiency by up to 8% compared to single-LGATE controllers like ISL62881HRTZ, and is a defining feature of the ISL62881BHRTZ variant.
Can ISL62881BHRTZ support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL62881BHRTZ supports both lossless inductor DCR sensing and precision shunt resistor sensing, as confirmed in Figures 3 and 4 of FN6924 Rev 3.00. For DCR sensing, it uses ISUM+ and ISUM− inputs with NTC compensation on the NTC pin; for resistor sensing, it accepts the same differential current signal but requires external RC filtering. Both methods feed the same droop amplifier and IMON output, ensuring consistent load-line implementation and overcurrent protection across sensing topologies - a capability fully retained in ISL62881BHRTZ.
What is the role of the VW pin in ISL62881BHRTZ operation?
The VW pin on the ISL62881BHRTZ sets the nominal switching frequency by forming a voltage window with the COMP pin - a core element of the R3™ modulator. A resistor between VW and COMP (e.g., 8kΩ) programs ~300kHz nominal frequency, and the modulator dynamically widens or narrows this window during load transients to increase or decrease fSW. This direct hardware-based frequency adaptation enables faster transient response than fixed-frequency controllers, and the VW pin's behavior is identical in both ISL62881 and ISL62881BHRTZ variants.
Does ISL62881BHRTZ require external components for IMVP-6.5™ compliance?
Yes, ISL62881BHRTZ requires external components to achieve full IMVP-6.5™ compliance: a 147kΩ resistor on RBIAS for CPU mode (or 47kΩ for GPU mode), an NTC thermistor on NTC pin for DCR temperature compensation, and appropriate RC networks on VW, COMP, and FB pins per design guidelines in FN6924. These components configure VID response, load-line slope, thermal throttling thresholds, and loop stability - all mandatory for IMVP-6.5™ certification. The ISL62881BHRTZ integrates all control logic but relies on these external elements for specification adherence.
