Product details
Overview
ISL62881DHRTZ-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 ±0.5% system accuracy over temperature, features VR_TT# thermal throttling control, and operates with 300 kHz nominal switching frequency in a 32-lead 5x5 TQFN package.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62881DHRTZ-T datasheet, ISL62881DHRTZ-T pinout, ISL62881DHRTZ-T application, or ISL62881DHRTZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include IMVP-6.5™ compliance, split LGATE driver architecture for light-load efficiency, differential remote voltage sensing, adaptive body diode conduction time reduction, and VR_TT#/NTC-based thermal overload signaling.
Technical Context
The ISL62881DHRTZ-T implements Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) modulator, combining fixed-frequency PWM stability with hysteretic-like transient response. It dynamically adjusts switching frequency during load transients-increasing frequency under load step-up and stretching period at light load-to optimize regulation speed and efficiency.
It supports dual-mode operation: continuous conduction mode (CCM) under heavy load and diode emulation (DE) with period stretching in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The split LGATEa/LGATEb driver enables selective low-side MOSFET activation during deeper sleep (DPRSLPVR asserted), reducing gate drive losses without compromising regulation integrity.

Pinout & Package
ISL62881DHRTZ-T is housed in a 32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch TQFN package (PKG DWG L32.5x5E) with an exposed GND thermal pad on the bottom surface. Pin numbering follows top-view orientation with Pin 1 at top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VR_ON | Voltage regulator enable input | Active-high logic signal; must exceed 0.7 V to activate controller and initiate soft-start sequence. |
| VID0–VID6 | 7-bit VID code inputs | Binary-coded voltage setpoint (VID0 = LSB); defines target VOUT per IMVP-6.5™ table (e.g., 0100000 = 1.100 V). |
| DPRSLPVR | Deeper sleep mode indicator | High-level signal triggers split LGATE operation: LGATEb disabled, LGATEa remains active for minimal bias current. |
| VR_TT# | Thermal overload flag output | Open-drain output pulled low when NTC voltage drops below 1.20 V, signaling VR thermal shutdown condition. |
| NTC | Thermistor bias input | Supplies 60 µA current to external NTC thermistor; voltage drop used to detect die/package temperature rise. |
| LGATEa / LGATEb | Split low-side gate drivers | LGATEa always active; LGATEb gated by DPRSLPVR - enables adaptive light-load efficiency and deeper sleep mode support. |
| VSEN / RTN | Differential remote sense inputs | Connect directly to processor die VCC and ground pins to eliminate PCB IR drop and ensure precise core voltage regulation. |
| ISUM+ / ISUM− | Current-sense amplifier inputs | Accept voltage from DCR network or sense resistor; enable accurate inductor current monitoring for load line and OCP. |
| IMON | Analog current monitor output | Provides 120 µA ±10% output current per 20 µA ISUM− input current - used for system-level current telemetry and telemetry logging. |
| UGATE / PHASE / BOOT / VSSP / VCCP | Power stage interface | Drive high-side MOSFET (UGATE), reference switching node (PHASE), bootstrap capacitor charge path (BOOT), low-side return (VSSP), and gate bias supply (VCCP). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| R3™ Modulator Architecture | Delivers faster transient settling than fixed-frequency PWM and lower phase jitter than hysteretic controllers while maintaining ±0.5% DC accuracy. |
| Split LGATE Driver | Enables independent control of two low-side MOSFETs: LGATEa stays active for bias continuity; LGATEb disables in DPRSLPVR mode to cut gate drive losses by >30% at ultra-light load. |
| Adaptive Body Diode Conduction Time Reduction | Monitors PHASE node voltage in real time and turns off LGATE precisely at zero-crossing to eliminate reverse conduction loss in diode emulation mode. |
| User-Selectable Overshoot Reduction | Configurable via external resistor on VW pin to suppress output voltage overshoot during load-step-down events - critical for protecting sensitive CPU/GPU cores. |
| Thermal Throttling Interface (VR_TT#) | Direct integration with processor thermal management: VR_TT# assertion forces CPU/GPU to reduce clock frequency before junction temperature reaches critical limit. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL62881DHRTZ-T in a mobile computing platform?
The ISL62881DHRTZ-T serves as a single-phase PWM voltage regulator IC that delivers tightly regulated core voltage to Intel or AMD mobile CPUs and GPUs in compliance with the IMVP-6.5™ specification. It integrates gate drivers, supports differential remote sensing, implements R3™ modulation for fast transient response, and provides VR_TT# thermal throttling signaling - all within a compact 5x5 mm TQFN package. Its design ensures ±0.5% system accuracy and adaptive efficiency across load and temperature ranges.
How does the ISL62881DHRTZ-T achieve improved light-load efficiency compared to the ISL62881CHRTZ-T?
The ISL62881DHRTZ-T achieves improved light-load efficiency through its split LGATE architecture (LGATEa and LGATEb), which allows selective deactivation of one low-side MOSFET driver during deeper sleep mode (DPRSLPVR asserted). This reduces gate drive losses by eliminating unnecessary switching activity while maintaining bias continuity via LGATEa. In contrast, the ISL62881CHRTZ-T uses a single LGATE driver and cannot disable gate drive in sleep states - resulting in higher quiescent current and lower efficiency below 0.5 A output.
What is the role of the VR_TT# and NTC pins on the ISL62881DHRTZ-T?
The VR_TT# pin is an open-drain thermal overload indicator that pulls low when the NTC pin voltage falls below 1.20 V (±20 mV), signaling that the VR has exceeded its safe operating temperature threshold. The NTC pin supplies a precise 60 µA current to an external NTC thermistor mounted near the CPU/GPU die or VR inductor; the resulting voltage drop is monitored internally to trigger VR_TT# assertion. This enables coordinated thermal throttling with the host processor before critical junction temperatures are reached.
Can the ISL62881DHRTZ-T be used in both CPU and GPU core VR applications?
Yes, the ISL62881DHRTZ-T supports both CPU and GPU core VR applications via configuration of the RBIAS resistor: a 147 kΩ resistor configures the device for CPU VR (steeper load line), while a 47 kΩ resistor configures it for GPU VR (shallower load line). Both configurations retain full IMVP-6.5™ compliance, differential sensing (VSEN/RTN), VR_TT# thermal signaling, and split LGATE functionality - enabling reuse across platform power domains without hardware redesign.
What are the key differences between the ISL62881DHRTZ-T and ISL62881CHRTZ-T pinouts and functionality?
The ISL62881DHRTZ-T uses a 32-pin 5x5 TQFN package with dedicated VR_TT#, NTC, LGATEa, and LGATEb pins - enabling thermal throttling coordination and adaptive low-side drive. The ISL62881CHRTZ-T uses a 28-pin 4x4 TQFN package with only one LGATE pin and no VR_TT#/NTC functionality. Functionally, ISL62881DHRTZ-T supports DPRSLPVR-triggered deeper sleep mode and VR_TT# signaling; ISL62881CHRTZ-T does not. Neither part is pin-compatible due to differing pin count, layout, and signal mapping.
