Product details
Overview
ISL62881CHRTZ-T from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a single-phase PWM voltage regulator IC designed for IMVP-6.5™-compliant mobile CPU and GPU core power supplies. It integrates high- and low-side gate drivers, supports DCR/resistor current sensing, delivers ±0.5% system accuracy over temperature, enables differential remote voltage sensing, and operates with R3™ modulator technology for fast transient response and adaptive light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62881CHRTZ-T datasheet, ISL62881CHRTZ-T pinout, ISL62881CHRTZ-T application, or ISL62881CHRTZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include IMVP-6.5™ compliance, 28-pin 4×4 mm TQFN package, VID-programmable output (0.7–1.5 V), diode emulation mode, and integrated current monitoring via IMON pin.
Technical Context
The ISL62881CHRTZ-T implements Intersil's patented Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) architecture, combining fixed-frequency PWM stability with hysteretic-like transient responsiveness. Its master-slave ripple capacitor circuit dynamically adjusts switching frequency during load transients-increasing frequency under load step-up and stretching period at light load-while maintaining tight regulation via an error amplifier with 90 dB DC gain and 18 MHz GBW.
It supports dual current-sensing methods (inductor DCR or discrete resistor), provides differential remote sensing (VSEN/RTN), implements adaptive body diode conduction time reduction in diode emulation mode, and features programmable overshoot reduction. The device responds to DPRSLPVR for deep-sleep entry/exit and reports real-time output current via the IMON analog output.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase IMVP-6.5™ core 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) vs. HRTZ (–10°C to +100°C). | Suitable for wider ambient environments including automotive cabin or ruggedized portable devices. | Select ISL62881CIRTZ when operating below –10°C is required; otherwise ISL62881CHRTZ-T is optimal for standard notebook thermal envelopes. |
| RTQ2132BGQW | Single-phase IMVP-6.5™ controller from Richtek; supports same VID range and DCR sensing but lacks DPRSLPVR and IMON output. | Requires external current monitor for telemetry; no deep-sleep diode emulation control signal. | Choose RTQ2132BGQW only if DPRSLPVR signaling and integrated current reporting are not needed; ISL62881CHRTZ-T provides full IMVP-6.5™ feature set. |
Compared with ISL62881CIRTZ, the ISL62881CHRTZ-T offers identical electrical performance and pin compatibility but targets commercial notebook platforms with narrower ambient range; versus RTQ2132BGQW, it delivers complete IMVP-6.5™ compliance-including DPRSLPVR support and analog IMON telemetry-without external components.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL62881CHRTZ-T in a notebook power system?
The ISL62881CHRTZ-T serves as a single-phase PWM core voltage regulator for Intel IMVP-6.5™-compliant mobile CPUs and GPUs. It integrates gate drivers, implements R3™ modulation for fast transient response, supports differential remote sensing, and delivers ±0.5% system accuracy. The ISL62881CHRTZ-T manages VID-based voltage programming, load-line droop, diode emulation, and current monitoring-all within a compact 4×4 mm TQFN package.
How does the ISL62881CHRTZ-T achieve high light-load efficiency?
The ISL62881CHRTZ-T achieves high light-load efficiency through adaptive diode emulation mode, which turns off the low-side MOSFET precisely at zero inductor current to prevent reverse conduction loss. It also employs period stretching-reducing switching frequency under light load-enabled by its R3™ modulator architecture. These features, combined with the ability to disable overshoot reduction when thermal stress is a concern, optimize efficiency across the full load range without external circuitry.
Can the ISL62881CHRTZ-T be used for both CPU and GPU core voltage regulation?
Yes, the ISL62881CHRTZ-T supports both CPU and GPU core VR applications via the RBIAS pin: a 147 kΩ resistor configures CPU mode, while a 47 kΩ resistor configures GPU mode. It complies fully with IMVP-6.5™ for CPU and supports GPU-specific VID tables and differential sensing. The ISL62881CHRTZ-T is validated in reference designs ISL62881CCPUEVAL2Z (CPU) and ISL62881CGPUEVAL2Z (GPU), confirming dual-role capability.
What current sensing methods does the ISL62881CHRTZ-T support, and how are they implemented?
The ISL62881CHRTZ-T supports two current sensing methods: lossless inductor DCR sensing and precision discrete resistor sensing. Both use the ISUM+ and ISUM− differential inputs. DCR sensing applies a small RC network across the inductor to generate a voltage proportional to current; resistor sensing places a low-value, high-precision shunt in series with the inductor. The ISL62881CHRTZ-T's internal droop amplifier converts either signal into a load-line offset, enabling accurate IMVP-6.5™ compliance without external op-amps.
Does the ISL62881CHRTZ-T provide output current telemetry, and how is it accessed?
Yes, the ISL62881CHRTZ-T provides real-time output current telemetry via the IMON pin-an analog current output proportional to sensed load current. With 120 µA typical output per 20 µA of ISUM− current, IMON enables direct connection to an ADC or comparator for system-level current monitoring, overcurrent protection, or thermal management. This eliminates the need for external current-sense amplifiers and simplifies BOM in notebook VR designs using the ISL62881CHRTZ-T.
