Product details
Overview
ISL62881HRTZ from Intersil is a single-phase PWM buck regulator IC designed for IMVP-6.5™-compliant core power delivery to mobile CPUs and GPUs. It integrates high- and low-side gate drivers, employs Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) modulator technology, delivers 0.5% system voltage accuracy over temperature, supports 7-bit VID input (0V–1.500V in 12.5mV steps), and uses differential remote sensing for precise die-level regulation in notebook computers.
For engineers reviewing the ISL62881HRTZ datasheet, ISL62881HRTZ pinout, ISL62881HRTZ application, or ISL62881HRTZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its R3™ transient response, IMVP-6.5™ compliance, DCR/resistor current sensing flexibility, diode emulation mode for light-load efficiency, and 28-pin 4×4 TQFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The ISL62881HRTZ implements Intel's IMVP-6.5™ protocol using Intersil's patented R3™ modulator, which dynamically adjusts switching frequency during load transients to achieve faster response than fixed-frequency PWM controllers. Its master-slave ripple capacitor architecture generates noise-immune control signals while retaining error amplifier-based precision.
It supports dual configuration modes-CPU VR (RBIAS = 147kΩ) and GPU VR (RBIAS = 47kΩ)-with DPRSLPVR-controlled diode emulation, adaptive body diode conduction time reduction, and user-selectable overshoot reduction. Current sensing is implemented via lossless inductor DCR or discrete resistor, thermally compensated using a single NTC thermistor.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase IMVP-6.5™ VR controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL62881BHRTZ | 32-pin 5×5 TQFN; adds VR_TT# thermal throttling output and split LGATEa/LGATEb drivers | Required for systems needing hardware thermal throttling signaling and deeper sleep-mode efficiency optimization | Select ISL62881BHRTZ only if VR_TT# or dual-LGATE functionality is explicitly required; not pin-compatible |
| RT8802CGQW | Single-phase IMVP-6.5™ controller in 32-pin QFN; supports 0.3–1.5V output, 300–600kHz fSW, but lacks R3™ modulator and NTC compensation | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where R3™ transient performance and thermal drift compensation are non-critical | RT8802CGQW offers higher max fSW but trades off transient response and temperature-stable load line vs. ISL62881HRTZ |
Compared with ISL62881BHRTZ, ISL62881HRTZ provides identical IMVP-6.5™ compliance and R3™ performance in a smaller 28-pin footprint but omits thermal throttling and split-gate features; versus RT8802CGQW, it delivers superior transient immunity and temperature-compensated current sensing at the expense of slightly lower max switching frequency.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL62881HRTZ in a notebook power system?
The ISL62881HRTZ serves as a single-phase IMVP-6.5™-compliant voltage regulator controller for mobile CPU or GPU core power. It drives external high- and low-side MOSFETs, regulates output voltage via 7-bit VID input, implements load-line droop, and provides differential remote sensing to maintain ±0.5% accuracy at the processor die. Its R3™ modulator ensures rapid transient response essential for modern mobile processors.
Does the ISL62881HRTZ support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL62881HRTZ supports both inductor DCR and discrete resistor current sensing methods. When using DCR sensing, a single NTC thermistor compensates for copper winding resistance drift over temperature, preserving load-line accuracy. Resistor sensing uses a series sense resistor and associated RC network (RSUM, CIS). Both configurations are validated in Figures 1–2 of the FN6924 datasheet.
How does the ISL62881HRTZ enter and operate in diode emulation mode?
The ISL62881HRTZ enters diode emulation mode when a logic-high signal is applied to the DPRSLPVR pin. In this mode, the LGATE driver turns off the low-side MOSFET when the PHASE node voltage reaches zero, preventing reverse inductor current flow. This emulates a diode's unidirectional conduction, reducing switching and conduction losses at light loads and improving efficiency in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM).
What is the role of the RBIAS pin on the ISL62881HRTZ, and how is it configured?
The RBIAS pin sets the internal current reference to configure the ISL62881HRTZ for either CPU or GPU VR applications. A 147kΩ resistor to GND configures it for CPU core use (DPRSLPVR controls diode emulation only), while a 47kΩ resistor configures it for GPU core use (DPRSLPVR also controls Vcore slew rate: 5 mV/µs low, 10 mV/µs high). RBIAS voltage is internally regulated to ~1.47V.
Is the ISL62881HRTZ pin-compatible with the ISL62881BHRTZ?
No, the ISL62881HRTZ is not pin-compatible with the ISL62881BHRTZ. The ISL62881HRTZ uses a 28-pin 4×4 mm TQFN package, while the ISL62881BHRTZ uses a 32-pin 5×5 mm TQFN package with additional pins including VR_TT#, NTC, LGATEa, and LGATEb. Layout redesign and schematic changes are required for substitution.
