Product details
Overview
ISL6313IRZ from Renesas Electronics (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, 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 ISL6313IRZ datasheet, ISL6313IRZ pinout, ISL6313IRZ application, or ISL6313IRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, integrated 36-pin TQFN package with dual gate drivers, VID DAC table selectability (Intel VR11/AMD 5-bit/6-bit), Active Pulse Positioning (APP) modulation for high di/dt transient response, and dynamic VID compensation capability.
Technical Context
The ISL6313IRZ implements a proprietary APP-modulated PWM architecture where each phase's pulse position is dynamically adjusted within the switching cycle to minimize output voltage droop during rapid load steps. Its error amplifier drives a modulator ramp comparator with real-time current correction derived from continuous DCR sensing on both phases.
Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA) activates when COMP voltage excursion exceeds a user-set threshold via APA pin resistor, forcing simultaneous turn-on of both UGATEs to deliver peak current faster than interleaved operation alone. The controller supports single- or two-phase operation via ISEN2– tie-high configuration and uses internal programmable current sense resistors-no external RSENSE required.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the ISL6313IRZ?
The ISL6313IRZ supports an adjustable switching frequency up to 1.5MHz per phase, set by an external resistor on the FS pin. At typical 100kΩ setting, the oscillator operates at 250kHz (min 215kHz, max 280kHz), but frequency can be scaled linearly across 0.08–1.0MHz range per datasheet Equation 47. This high-frequency capability allows use of smaller inductors and reduced output capacitance in compact VRM designs.
Does the ISL6313IRZ require external current sense resistors?
No, the ISL6313IRZ does not require external current sense resistors. It integrates programmable current sense resistors calibrated via the RSET pin - a single external resistor (e.g., 40.2kΩ) sets the effective RISEN value for both phases. This eliminates board space, cost, and thermal drift errors associated with discrete shunts while maintaining ±2.5µA offset accuracy per channel.
How does the ISL6313IRZ support both Intel and AMD processors?
The ISL6313IRZ supports both Intel VR11 and AMD microprocessors through selectable VID DAC tables. The SS pin determines mode: tied to GND selects Intel VR11 (8-bit), tied to VCC selects AMD (5-bit or 6-bit). VID0–VID7 accept TTL-level inputs, and internal pull-up/pull-down currents auto-adapt to each standard. This eliminates firmware or hardware changes when designing for dual-platform motherboards.
What is the purpose of the APA pin on the ISL6313IRZ?
The APA pin on the ISL6313IRZ 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) to COMP sets a 500mV trip threshold. When COMP voltage exceeds the filtered APA voltage, all channels activate together, cutting peak droop time by up to 50% compared to interleaved-only operation.
Can the ISL6313IRZ operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the ISL6313IRZ can operate in single-phase mode. Tie the ISEN2– pin to VCC to disable Channel 2; all other Channel 2 pins (PHASE2, UGATE2, LGATE2, BOOT2, ISEN2+) must remain unconnected. The controller then regulates using only Channel 1 with full functionality - including APP, DCR sensing, and VID decoding - making it suitable for mid-range CPUs with lower current demands.
What thermal protection features does the ISL6313IRZ include?
The ISL6313IRZ includes overtemperature shutdown with a 160°C setpoint and 100°C hysteresis for thermal recovery. This protection is independent of external circuitry and triggers a complete shutdown of gate drivers and PWM logic. The TQFN-36 package has θJA = 32°C/W and θJC = 2.0°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +85°C ambient when mounted on a 2-oz copper PCB with thermal vias to inner layers. No external thermal sensor is required.
