Product details
Overview
ISL6313BCRZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a two-phase buck PWM controller with integrated MOSFET drivers, designed for precision core voltage regulation in Intel VR11 and AMD microprocessor power delivery systems. It delivers ±0.5% system accuracy over temperature, supports up to 1.5MHz per-phase switching, and implements fully differential DCR current sensing for load line programming and channel current balancing in server and desktop CPU VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6313BCRZ datasheet, ISL6313BCRZ pinout, ISL6313BCRZ application, or ISL6313BCRZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating parameters (0°C to +70°C, 36-lead TQFN), real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for VR11/AMD-compatible multiphase buck control.
Technical Context
The ISL6313BCRZ employs a proprietary Active Pulse Positioning (APP) modulation scheme that enables sub-cycle response to high di/dt load transients by allowing PWM edge placement at any point within the oscillator period. Its Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA) circuitry forces simultaneous phase activation during large current steps using a COMP-to-APA voltage offset set by an external resistor.
It integrates dual MOSFET drivers with programmable gate bias (5V–12V), on-die current sense resistors (set via RSET), and dynamic VID compensation (DVC pin). The controller supports selectable Intel VR11 or AMD 5-/6-bit DAC tables via SS pin configuration and uses differential remote sensing (VSEN/RGND) with ±0.5% accuracy across 0.375V–1.600V output range.

Pinout & Package
ISL6313BCRZ is housed in a 36-lead 6×6mm TQFN package (Pb-free, RoHS compliant) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per FN6809 Rev 0.00 datasheet, Page 9–10.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Bias supply input | +5V ±5% supply for internal logic; requires 0.1µF ceramic decoupling. |
| PVCC | Driver power supply | +5V to +12V gate drive bias; sets upper/lower MOSFET drive strength and slew rates. |
| EN | Enable input | Threshold-sensitive (~0.85V) enable; disables all channels when pulled low. |
| VID0–VID7 | DAC reference inputs | 8-bit TTL-compatible inputs selecting core voltage; mode selected via SS pin connection. |
| VSEN / RGND | Remote voltage sensing | Differential pair compensating for PCB IR drop between VRM and CPU die. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6313BIRZ | Wider temp range (−40°C to +85°C); identical pinout, functionality, and electrical specs except for oscillator accuracy (215–280kHz vs. 225–275kHz). | Required for extended-temperature industrial or telecom applications; not suitable for cost-sensitive commercial-only designs. | Select ISL6313BIRZ only if ambient operating temperature exceeds +70°C or storage below 0°C is required. |
| RT8803AZSP | Single-chip 2-phase controller with integrated drivers; supports Intel IMVP-7/8 but lacks AMD DAC tables and APA/APP features. | Valid for Intel-only platforms; cannot replace ISL6313BCRZ in AMD-compatible or mixed-architecture designs. | Choose RT8803AZSP only for new Intel VRM designs where AMD compatibility is unnecessary and lower BOM cost is prioritized. |
Compared with ISL6313BIRZ, the ISL6313BCRZ trades extended temperature capability for lower cost and tighter oscillator tolerance-making it optimal for commercial desktop/server VRMs. Versus RT8803AZSP, it uniquely supports AMD microprocessors and delivers superior transient response via APP/APA-critical for high-performance heterogeneous platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the ISL6313BCRZ?
The ISL6313BCRZ supports a selectable switching frequency up to 1.5MHz per phase, as confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on Page 6 of FN6809 Rev 0.00. This is achieved by configuring the FS pin with an appropriate resistor; the oscillator accuracy is specified as 225–275kHz at RT = 100kΩ, with full adjustment range spanning 80kHz to 1.0MHz (Note 3). The 1.5MHz upper limit reflects design validation under typical PVCC and load conditions.
Does the ISL6313BCRZ support both Intel and AMD microprocessors?
Yes, the ISL6313BCRZ explicitly supports both Intel VR11 and AMD microprocessors. It includes programmable VID codes for Intel VR11 and AMD 5-bit and 6-bit DAC tables, with mode selection controlled by the SS pin connection (ground for Intel, VCC for AMD). This dual-architecture compatibility is stated in the device title, Features list, and Functional Pin Description section of the FN6809 datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does the ISL6313BCRZ use?
The ISL6313BCRZ uses a 36-lead 6×6mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pb-free, RoHS compliant), designated as "36 Ld 6x6 TQFN L36.6x6" in the Ordering Information table on Page 1 of FN6809 Rev 0.00. Thermal resistance is θJA = 32°C/W and θJC = 2.0°C/W, confirming suitability for thermally demanding VRM applications.
How does the ISL6313BCRZ implement current sensing without external resistors?
The ISL6313BCRZ uses integrated programmable current sense resistors configured via the RSET pin. Connecting an external resistor (e.g., 40.2kΩ) from RSET to VCC sets the effective DCR sense gain to 80µA/mV (typical), enabling fully differential, continuous current sensing on ISEN1±/ISEN2± pins. This eliminates discrete sense resistors while maintaining ±2.5µA offset accuracy, as verified in the Electrical Specifications table on Page 7.
What protection features are built into the ISL6313BCRZ?
The ISL6313BCRZ includes overvoltage protection (OVP) with tiered thresholds (e.g., VDAC + 175mV for Intel), undervoltage protection (UVP) with hysteresis (100mV), overcurrent protection (OCP) for average and individual channels, and open-sense-line prevention for VSEN/RGND disconnects. These are documented in the Protection Features section (Page 1) and Electrical Specifications (Pages 7–8) of FN6809 Rev 0.00.
