Product details
Overview
ISL62881CIRTZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a single-phase PWM core voltage regulator IC designed for IMVP-6.5™-compliant mobile CPU and GPU power delivery. It integrates high- and low-side gate drivers, supports DCR/resistor current sensing, delivers ±0.8% system accuracy over –40°C to +100°C, features R3™ modulator architecture for fast transient response, and operates with 200–500 kHz adjustable switching frequency in notebook VR applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62881CIRTZ datasheet, ISL62881CIRTZ pinout, ISL62881CIRTZ application, or ISL62881CIRTZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to +125°C junction temperature rating, 28-pin 4×4 mm TQFN package, differential remote voltage sensing capability, adaptive body diode conduction time reduction, and IMON current monitor output for real-time load reporting.
Technical Context
The ISL62881CIRTZ implements Intersil's patented Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) topology, combining fixed-frequency PWM stability with hysteretic-like transient responsiveness. Its master-slave ripple capacitor architecture enables variable switching frequency during load transients while maintaining tight DC regulation via an error amplifier with 90 dB DC gain and 18 MHz GBW.
It supports dual current-sensing methods-lossless inductor DCR sensing and precision resistor-based sensing-and includes DPRSLPVR-triggered diode emulation mode with adaptive body diode conduction time control to minimize reverse conduction loss during light-load operation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL62881CHRTZ | Same silicon, but rated for –10°C to +100°C ambient and +125°C junction; uses identical 28-pin 4×4 mm TQFN package | Not qualified for extended industrial temperature range; unsuitable for automotive or harsh-environment deployments | Select ISL62881CIRTZ when operating below –10°C or above +100°C ambient is required. |
| ISL62881DHRTZ | Includes VR_TT# thermal throttling output and split LGATEa/LGATEb drivers; uses larger 32-pin 5×5 mm TQFN package | Supports hardware thermal throttling via NTC input and improves light-load efficiency further via dual LGATE control | Choose ISL62881DHRTZ only if VR_TT# signaling or enhanced sub-1-A efficiency is mandatory; not pin-compatible. |
Compared with ISL62881CHRTZ, ISL62881CIRTZ extends operational ambient range by 30°C downward while retaining identical electrical performance and pinout; versus ISL62881DHRTZ, it omits VR_TT# and split LGATE but maintains smaller footprint and lower system cost for standard CPU/GPU VR use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for ISL62881CIRTZ?
The ISL62881CIRTZ is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +125°C, validated over the full –40°C to +100°C ambient operating range. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of FN7596 Rev 0.00, distinguishing it from the ISL62881CHRTZ variant which shares the same +125°C limit but only supports –10°C minimum ambient.
Does ISL62881CIRTZ support differential remote voltage sensing?
Yes, ISL62881CIRTZ supports differential remote voltage sensing via dedicated VSEN and RTN pins. As documented in the "Pin Function Description" and "Voltage Regulation and Load Line Implementation" sections of FN7596 Rev 0.00, this feature enables precise closed-loop regulation at the microprocessor die by compensating for PCB trace IR drop, contributing directly to its ±0.8% system accuracy specification.
How does the R3™ modulator in ISL62881CIRTZ improve transient response compared to traditional PWM controllers?
The R3™ modulator in ISL62881CIRTZ improves transient response by dynamically adjusting switching frequency during load steps: COMP voltage rise accelerates clock generation, increasing effective frequency and control loop bandwidth. This architecture achieves faster settling time than fixed-frequency PWM while retaining DC accuracy via the integrated error amplifier - a capability verified in Figure 7 and "Theory of Operation" section of FN7596 Rev 0.00.
Can ISL62881CIRTZ be used for GPU core voltage regulation, and what configuration is required?
Yes, ISL62881CIRTZ can be configured for GPU core VR by setting RBIAS to 47 kΩ (vs. 147 kΩ for CPU mode), enabling 5 mV/µs DAC slew rate and optimized startup timing per Figure 11 of FN7596 Rev 0.00. The same IC supports both CPU and GPU applications via external resistor selection, with identical electrical performance and pin compatibility across modes.
What current sensing methods does ISL62881CIRTZ support, and how are they implemented?
ISL62881CIRTZ supports two current sensing methods: lossless inductor DCR sensing (using ISUM+/ISUM− inputs with RC network) and precision discrete resistor sensing (same pins, different network). Both feed the droop amplifier for load-line implementation, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 of FN7596 Rev 0.00. Selection is determined by external passive component values - no internal configuration bits are required.
