Product details
Overview
ISL6313BIRZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a two-phase buck PWM controller with integrated MOSFET drivers, designed for precision core voltage regulation of Intel VR11 and AMD microprocessors. It delivers ±0.5% system accuracy over temperature, supports up to 1.5MHz per-phase switching frequency, and implements fully differential DCR current sensing for load line programming and channel current balancing in server and desktop CPU power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6313BIRZ datasheet, ISL6313BIRZ pinout, ISL6313BIRZ application, or ISL6313BIRZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, integrated gate drivers with 0.8–1.6Ω drive resistance, programmable VID DAC tables (Intel VR11/AMD 5-bit/6-bit), Active Pulse Positioning (APP) modulation for high di/dt transient response, and adaptive phase alignment (APA) for synchronized multi-phase turn-on during load steps.
Technical Context
The ISL6313BIRZ employs a proprietary APP-modulated PWM architecture that allows dynamic pulse positioning within each switching cycle-enabling sub-microsecond response to voltage droop without double-pulse risk. Its internal error amplifier features 96dB DC gain and 40MHz gain-bandwidth product, supporting stable compensation across wide output capacitance ranges.
It integrates dual-channel synchronous buck control with real-time, cycle-by-cycle DCR-based current sensing on both phases, using programmable internal sense resistors set via RSET. The APA circuit monitors COMP pin voltage offset against a filtered reference to trigger simultaneous phase activation during large load transients, reducing required bulk capacitance by up to 30% in validated designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-phase CPU voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6312IRZ | Single-phase version with identical VID tables, APP, and APA; lacks second phase driver and ISEN2 pins. | Suitable only for ≤60A CPU loads; cannot support dual-phase interleaving or current balancing. | Select when board space or cost constraints preclude two-phase design and load current remains below 65A. |
| RT8803AGQW | Two-phase controller with integrated drivers but no APA; uses conventional fixed-frequency PWM and external current sense resistors. | Lower transient performance; requires additional components for DCR sensing and VID table selection. | Choose where legacy compatibility or lower gate drive voltage (up to 7V) is prioritized over fastest load-step response. |
Compared with ISL6313BIRZ, ISL6312IRZ offers reduced integration for simpler designs but sacrifices phase interleaving benefits, while RT8803AGQW provides functional equivalence at lower cost but lacks APA and integrated DCR sensing-requiring more external components and yielding slower transient recovery.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for ISL6313BIRZ?
The ISL6313BIRZ supports an adjustable switching frequency up to 1.5MHz per phase, set via an external resistor on the FS pin. At 100kΩ, the typical frequency is 250kHz with ±30kHz tolerance over temperature. This high-frequency capability enables compact magnetics and reduced output capacitance in space-constrained VRM layouts.
Does ISL6313BIRZ require external current sense resistors?
No, the ISL6313BIRZ does not require external current sense resistors. It implements fully differential, continuous DCR current sensing using integrated programmable current sense resistors configured via a single external RSET resistor connected between RSET and VCC. This eliminates board space, cost, and thermal drift errors associated with discrete shunts.
How does ISL6313BIRZ support both Intel VR11 and AMD processors?
The ISL6313BIRZ supports both architectures through hardware-selectable VID DAC tables: Intel VR11 mode is activated when the SS pin is tied to GND, while AMD 5-bit or 6-bit modes are selected by tying SS to VCC. Internal pull-up/pull-down currents on VID pins auto-adapt to respective logic thresholds, enabling seamless dual-platform motherboard designs without firmware changes.
What is the function of the APA pin on ISL6313BIRZ?
The APA pin on ISL6313BIRZ enables Adaptive Phase Alignment-a proprietary feature that forces simultaneous turn-on of both phases during large load transients. A 100µA current flows into APA; connecting a resistor (e.g., 5kΩ) from APA to COMP sets a ~500mV trip threshold. When exceeded, all active phases fire together, cutting peak voltage droop by up to 40% compared to interleaved-only operation.
What package type and thermal characteristics does ISL6313BIRZ use?
The ISL6313BIRZ uses a 36-lead 6×6mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pb-free, RoHS compliant). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 32°C/W and θJC = 2.0°C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to the PCB. Maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with recovery at +100°C-ensuring robust operation in high-power CPU VRMs.
