Product details
Overview
ISL62881CIRTZ-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 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, enables diode emulation mode, and operates with 200–500 kHz adjustable switching frequency in notebook VR applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62881CIRTZ-T datasheet, ISL62881CIRTZ-T pinout, ISL62881CIRTZ-T application, or ISL62881CIRTZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to +100°C industrial temperature range, 28-pin 4×4 mm TQFN package, IMVP-6.5™ protocol compliance, differential remote voltage sensing capability, and adaptive body diode conduction time reduction for light-load efficiency.
Technical Context
The ISL62881CIRTZ-T implements Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) modulator architecture, combining fixed-frequency PWM stability with hysteretic-like transient response. It uses a master-slave ripple capacitor system (VCRM/VCRS) referenced to COMP and VW pins to generate variable-frequency PWM pulses during load transients-increasing frequency under load step-up and stretching period under light load.
It supports dual current-sensing methods (inductor DCR or discrete resistor), provides differential remote sensing via VSEN/RTN pins, reports output current via IMON analog output, and enters diode emulation mode upon DPRSLPVR assertion to minimize reverse conduction loss-enabled by adaptive timing control of LGATE turn-off based on phase-node voltage zero-crossing detection.

| 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 |

| PHASE / BOOT / VSSP / VCCP | Power stage interface terminals | PHASE = switch node; BOOT = high-side bootstrap supply; VSSP = low-side return; VCCP = gate driver bias |
| PGOOD / CLK_EN# | Open-drain status outputs | PGOOD asserts when output is within regulation; CLK_EN# signals PLL clock enable after stable VCORE |
| RBIAS | Application configuration resistor | 147 kΩ selects CPU mode; 47 kΩ selects GPU mode-sets internal current reference and compensation |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL62881CHRTZ-T | Same silicon; rated for –10°C to +100°C ambient (vs. –40°C to +100°C for IRTZ) | Not suitable for extended industrial or automotive-adjacent environments requiring –40°C startup | Select ISL62881CIRTZ-T when full industrial temperature range is mandatory; HRTZ suffices for commercial notebooks. |
| RTQ2131BGQW-T | Single-phase IMVP-6.5™ controller from Richtek; supports 0.3–1.5 V output, 300–600 kHz fSW, but lacks R3™ modulator and adaptive body diode control | Requires external compensation and offers slower transient response; no integrated IMON or differential sensing | Choose RTQ2131BGQW-T only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for R3™-enhanced efficiency and precision die-voltage regulation. |
Compared with ISL62881CHRTZ-T, the ISL62881CIRTZ-T extends cold-temperature operation to –40°C while retaining identical functionality and pinout; versus RTQ2131BGQW-T, it delivers superior transient performance, integrated current monitoring, and true IMVP-6.5™ feature completeness-including diode emulation and VID-programmable load line.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ISL62881CIRTZ-T?
The ISL62881CIRTZ-T is rated for –40°C to +100°C ambient temperature operation, with maximum junction temperature of +125°C. This industrial-grade rating distinguishes it from the ISL62881CHRTZ-T (–10°C to +100°C) and ensures reliable startup and regulation in extended environmental conditions typical of ruggedized mobile platforms.
Does the ISL62881CIRTZ-T support differential remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the ISL62881CIRTZ-T supports differential remote voltage sensing via dedicated VSEN and RTN pins. VSEN connects directly to the processor die voltage node, and RTN connects to the die ground reference point-enabling accurate closed-loop regulation at the point of load and compensating for PCB trace IR drop.
How does the ISL62881CIRTZ-T implement diode emulation mode?
The ISL62881CIRTZ-T enters diode emulation mode upon assertion of the DPRSLPVR signal. It monitors the PHASE node voltage and turns off LGATE precisely when current reaches zero-preventing reverse conduction through the low-side MOSFET body diode. This adaptive timing reduces conduction loss and improves light-load efficiency without external circuitry.
What current sensing methods does the ISL62881CIRTZ-T support?
The ISL62881CIRTZ-T supports two validated current sensing methods: (1) lossless inductor DCR sensing using ISUM+/ISUM− inputs and an RC network, and (2) discrete resistor sensing with precision shunt placement. Both methods feed the droop amplifier to implement IMVP-6.5™-compliant load-line regulation and enable accurate IMON current reporting.
Is the ISL62881CIRTZ-T pin-compatible with the ISL62881D series?
No, the ISL62881CIRTZ-T is not pin-compatible with the ISL62881D series. The ISL62881C uses a 28-pin 4×4 mm TQFN package, while the ISL62881D uses a 32-pin 5×5 mm TQFN package (L32.5x5E) and adds VR_TT# and NTC pins. Pin counts, layout, and footprint differ-requiring separate PCB designs for each variant.
