Product details
Overview
ISL6313CRZ-T 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 - enabling high-efficiency, low-ripple CPU core supplies in server and desktop motherboards.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6313CRZ-T datasheet, ISL6313CRZ-T pinout, ISL6313CRZ-T application, or ISL6313CRZ-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-phase operation with internal 5V–12V gate drive bias, programmable VID decoding (Intel VR11 / AMD 5-/6-bit), Active Pulse Positioning (APP) modulation for fast transient response, and integrated protection including multi-tiered overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent detection.
Technical Context
The ISL6313CRZ-T employs a proprietary Active Pulse Positioning (APP) modulator that enables sub-cycle PWM pulse positioning for rapid response to high di/dt load transients, reducing required bulk capacitance. Its Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA) circuitry forces simultaneous channel activation during large current steps using a user-set trip level via external RAPA on the APA pin.
It integrates fully differential, continuous DCR current sensing across two phases with programmable internal sense resistors (set via RRSET), eliminating external sense resistors. The controller supports selectable DAC tables (Intel VR11 or AMD 5-/6-bit) via SS pin logic and provides differential remote voltage sensing (VSEN/RGND) with ±0.5% accuracy over temperature for precise core voltage regulation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ISL6313CRZ-T?
The ISL6313CRZ-T is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature, as specified in the FN6448 datasheet. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with standard motherboard environments and is validated for reliable performance in desktop and entry-level server applications. The device includes thermal shutdown at 160°C junction temperature and recovers at 100°C, providing robust thermal protection during overload conditions. Always ensure adequate PCB copper pour and airflow per the thermal resistance specs (θJA = 32°C/W).
Does the ISL6313CRZ-T support both Intel and AMD microprocessors?
Yes, the ISL6313CRZ-T natively supports both Intel VR11 and AMD microprocessor voltage identification protocols. It includes programmable VID decoding for Intel VR11 (8-bit), AMD 5-bit, and AMD 6-bit DAC tables - selected via the SS pin logic. This dual-architecture capability allows a single ISL6313CRZ-T design to serve multiple CPU platforms without hardware changes, reducing validation effort and BOM complexity in multi-platform motherboard development.
How does the ISL6313CRZ-T implement current sensing without external resistors?
The ISL6313CRZ-T uses fully differential, continuous DCR current sensing with integrated programmable current sense resistors. A single external resistor connected from the RSET pin to VCC sets the effective value of the internal RISEN elements, eliminating the need for discrete sense resistors. This architecture achieves <±2.5µA offset error and 80µA/mV gain accuracy while rejecting common-mode noise and PCB layout parasitics - critical for stable current balance across two phases in high-current CPU supplies.
What is the purpose of the APA pin on the ISL6313CRZ-T?
The APA (Adaptive Phase Alignment) pin on the ISL6313CRZ-T is a 100µA current sink used to set the trip threshold for synchronized two-phase conduction during large load transients. By connecting an external resistor (e.g., 5kΩ for 500mV) between APA and COMP, designers define the voltage excursion required to trigger APA - forcing both PHASE1 and PHASE2 to turn on simultaneously for faster initial response. This feature is unique to the ISL6313CRZ-T and significantly improves recovery time from high di/dt steps without increasing steady-state losses.
Can the ISL6313CRZ-T operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the ISL6313CRZ-T can be configured for single-phase operation by tying the ISEN2- pin to VCC. This action disables Channel 2, leaving only Channel 1 active. In this mode, pins PHASE2, LGATE2, UGATE2, BOOT2, and ISEN2+ must remain unconnected. The controller retains full functionality - including APP modulation, remote sensing, and VID decoding - but delivers all output current through one phase. This flexibility allows designers to reuse the same IC across both single- and dual-phase designs, simplifying inventory and qualification.
