Product details
Overview
ISL62881CHRTZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a single-phase PWM voltage regulator IC designed specifically for IMVP-6.5™-compliant mobile CPU and GPU core power delivery. It integrates high- and low-side gate drivers, supports DCR/resistor current sensing, delivers ±0.5% system accuracy over temperature, operates from -10°C to +100°C ambient, and uses R3™ modulator technology for fast transient response in notebook VR applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62881CHRTZ datasheet, ISL62881CHRTZ pinout, ISL62881CHRTZ application, or ISL62881CHRTZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed IMVP-6.5 compliance, differential remote sensing capability, and real-world thermal throttling and diode emulation behavior per FN7596 Rev 0.00.
Technical Context
The ISL62881CHRTZ implements Intel IMVP-6.5™ protocol with a patented Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) modulator that combines fixed-frequency PWM stability with hysteretic-like transient speed. It dynamically adjusts switching frequency during load transients-increasing under load insertion and stretching during light-load DCM-to improve efficiency and regulation bandwidth.
It supports dual current-sensing methods (inductor DCR or discrete resistor), enables differential remote voltage sensing via VSEN/RTN pins, provides adaptive body diode conduction time reduction in diode emulation mode, and reports output current via the IMON analog current output-all while maintaining 0.5% system accuracy across -10°C to +100°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Regulation Standard | Fully compliant with Intel IMVP-6.5™ specification for mobile CPU/GPU core voltage control. |
| System Accuracy | ±0.5% over temperature (0.75V–1.50V VID range), enabling precise die-level voltage control for modern processors. |
| Operating Temp Range | -10°C to +100°C ambient; junction rated to +125°C-validated for notebook thermal envelopes. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 200–500 kHz (typ. 300 kHz at VW=8 kΩ); dynamically scaled during transients for optimized loop response. |
| Current Sensing | Supports lossless inductor DCR sensing or precision resistor-based sensing-configurable via RBIAS resistor value. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.300 V to 1.500 V (7-bit VID interface), with boot voltage fixed at 1.100 V ±5.5 mV. |
| Gate Drive Capability | UGATE: 2.0 A source/sink; LGATE: 4.0 A sink / 2.0 A source-sufficient to drive typical 3–6 mΩ MOSFETs in single-phase VR designs. |
Pinout & Package
ISL62881CHRTZ is housed in a 28-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch TQFN package (Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, pkg drawing L28.4x4) with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID0–VID6 | 7-bit digital voltage identification input | Set target output voltage per IMVP-6.5 VID table; VID0 = LSB, VID6 = MSB. |
| VR_ON | Enable input | Active-high logic signal (VIH ≥ 0.7 V) initiates soft-start and regulator operation. |
| DPRSLPVR | Deeper sleep mode indicator | High logic triggers diode emulation mode and adaptive body diode timing reduction. |
| VSEN / RTN | Differential remote sense inputs | Connect directly to processor die for accurate closed-loop regulation-rejects PCB IR drop. |
| ISUM+ / ISUM− | Current-sense amplifier inputs | Accept voltage from DCR network or sense resistor; enable droop-based load-line implementation. |
| UGATE / LGATE | High- and low-side MOSFET gate drivers | Drive external N-channel MOSFETs; UGATE supports 2.0 A source/sink; LGATE supports 4.0 A sink. |
| PHASE / BOOT / VSSP | Power stage node connections | PHASE ties to HS-FET source/LS-FET drain/inductor node; BOOT powers HS driver; VSSP is LS driver return. |
| IMON | Analog current monitor output | Sinks current proportional to output current (e.g., 120 µA at 20 µA ISUM−), used for telemetry or protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| R3™ Modulator Architecture | Delivers faster transient settling than fixed-frequency PWM and lower phase jitter than hysteretic controllers-enabling stable 300 kHz operation with dynamic frequency scaling. |
| Adaptive Body Diode Conduction Time Reduction | Monitors PHASE node voltage to turn off LGATE precisely at zero-current crossing-minimizing reverse conduction loss in diode emulation mode. |
| User-Selectable Overshoot Reduction | Configurable via external component to suppress output voltage overshoot during load steps-critical for protecting sensitive CPU/GPU cores. |
| Differential Remote Voltage Sensing | VSEN/RTN pair enables direct die-voltage feedback, eliminating PCB trace resistance error and ensuring ±0.5% regulation accuracy at the load. |
| Thermal Compensation Ready | Supports NTC thermistor connection (via optional ISL62881D variant) for DCR temperature drift correction-though ISL62881CHRTZ relies on fixed compensation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase IMVP-6.5 voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL62881CIRTZ | Same functionality and pinout; extended industrial temp range (-40°C to +100°C ambient) vs. ISL62881CHRTZ (-10°C to +100°C). | Required for designs operating below -10°C ambient (e.g., automotive infotainment, ruggedized notebooks). | Select ISL62881CIRTZ only if full -40°C startup and operation is mandated; otherwise ISL62881CHRTZ suffices for standard consumer notebooks. |
| ISL62881DHRTZ | 32-pin 5×5 TQFN; adds VR_TT# thermal throttling output and NTC input for DCR temperature compensation-no split LGATE in CHRTZ variant. | Needed when platform-level thermal throttling coordination or precision DCR drift correction is required beyond ISL62881CHRTZ's fixed compensation. | Choose ISL62881DHRTZ only if VR_TT# signaling or NTC-based thermal compensation is explicitly required; ISL62881CHRTZ lacks these features and is not pin-compatible. |
Compared with ISL62881CIRTZ, ISL62881CHRTZ trades extended cold-temperature operation for cost and supply-chain alignment in mainstream notebook designs; compared with ISL62881DHRTZ, it omits thermal throttling and NTC interfaces-making it simpler and more compact for non-thermal-critical VR implementations.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the ISL62881CHRTZ?
The ISL62881CHRTZ has a maximum junction temperature of +125°C, validated for operation across -10°C to +100°C ambient temperature. Its thermal resistance θJA is 42°C/W (28-lead TQFN), and θJC is 5°C/W-enabling reliable performance in thermally dense notebook VR layouts when the exposed pad is properly soldered to a thermal plane.
Does the ISL62881CHRTZ support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL62881CHRTZ supports both methods. DCR sensing uses the ISUM+/ISUM− inputs with an RC network across the inductor; resistor sensing places a precision shunt in series with the inductor and connects it to the same pins. Configuration is set by the RBIAS resistor value: 147 kΩ for CPU mode (DCR default), 47 kΩ for GPU mode (resistor default), per FN7596 Section "RBIAS".
How does the ISL62881CHRTZ implement diode emulation mode?
The ISL62881CHRTZ enters diode emulation mode upon assertion of DPRSLPVR high. It monitors the PHASE node voltage during LGATE conduction and turns off LGATE precisely when voltage reaches zero-preventing reverse inductor current and body diode conduction loss. This extends light-load efficiency without requiring external Schottky diodes.
What is the purpose of the CLK_EN# pin on the ISL62881CHRTZ?
The CLK_EN# pin is an open-drain output that goes low 13 switching cycles after VCORE reaches within 10% of VBOOT (1.100 V). It signals the system PLL clock controller that regulated core voltage is stable and ready-enabling synchronized clock domain activation in Intel mobile platforms per IMVP-6.5 timing requirements.
Can the ISL62881CHRTZ be used in GPU VR applications, and how is it configured?
Yes, the ISL62881CHRTZ supports GPU VR applications. Configuration is achieved by setting RBIAS = 47 kΩ (vs. 147 kΩ for CPU), which selects GPU-specific soft-start ramp rate (5 mV/µs), VID mapping, and current-sense gain. The device retains all core functions-including differential sensing, IMON, and DPRSLPVR-triggered diode emulation-making it fully adaptable to GPU power profiles.
