Product details
Overview
ISL6328ACRZ-T from Renesas Electronics is a dual-output, multiphase PWM controller designed for AMD SVI split-plane processors-delivering ±0.6% system voltage accuracy over temperature, 0.15–1.5 MHz selectable switching frequency, and integrated gate drivers for up to four-phase core (VDD) and single-phase northbridge (VDDNB) regulation in server/desktop CPU power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6328ACRZ-T datasheet, ISL6328ACRZ-T pinout, ISL6328ACRZ-T application, or ISL6328ACRZ-T equivalent, this device supports precision differential remote sensing, temperature-compensated DCR current sensing, adaptive phase alignment (APA), dual-edge modulation, and PSI_L-driven phase shedding-key selection criteria for high-efficiency, transient-responsive AMD platform VRMs.
Technical Context
The ISL6328ACRZ-T implements a hybrid architecture: a 1–4-phase multiphase controller with integrated high- and low-side MOSFET drivers for the processor core, plus a dedicated single-phase controller with integrated drivers for the northbridge. It uses fully differential, continuous DCR sensing across all channels for load-line programming and channel-current balancing.
Its serial VID (SVI) interface operates up to 3.4 MHz and supports dynamic VID, pre-PWROK metal VID, and Power Savings Mode (PSI_L) with diode emulation and gate voltage optimization (GVOT). The controller features advanced protection including two-tier overcurrent (IDD_SPIKE + delayed OCP), multitier overvoltage, and adaptive shoot-through prevention with <10 ns nonoverlap timing.

Pinout & Package
ISL6328ACRZ-T is housed in a 48-lead, 6 mm × 6 mm QFN package (RoHS-compliant, L48.6x6B drawing) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJC = 1°C/W). Pin functions are validated per FN7986 Rev 1.00 datasheet pages 6–8.

| PSI_L (via DRPCTRL) | Power savings mode control | Resistor-programmable droop configuration and active phase count (1 or 2 phases) during light-load PSI mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Phase Alignment (APA) | Resistor-programmable threshold enables automatic phase skew correction to minimize output ripple and improve transient response |
| Dual-Edge Modulation | Enables faster initial response to high di/dt load transients by modulating both rising and falling edges of PWM signals |
| Temperature-Compensated Droop | Uses TCOMP1/TCOMP2 pins to adjust load-line slope vs. temperature-reducing bulk capacitor count without sacrificing regulation stability |
| Integrated Gate Drivers | Monolithic high- and low-side drivers (RDS(on) < 2.5 Ω source/sink) eliminate need for external driver ICs in 1–2-phase core and NB sections |
| Simultaneous Digital Soft-Start | Coordinated ramp-up of both VDD and VDDNB outputs prevents sequencing conflicts and ensures safe CPU initialization |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output multiphase VRM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6328CRZ-T | Non-A version; lacks APA, dual-edge modulation, and GVOT optimization-lower transient performance and no gate voltage optimization in PSI mode | Suitable only for legacy AMD platforms without dynamic phase alignment or advanced light-load efficiency requirements | Select ISL6328ACRZ-T when APA, GVOT, or dual-edge modulation are required for modern AMD SVI implementations. |
| RT8803AGQW | Realtek dual-controller with 3-phase core + 1-phase NB, but no integrated drivers-requires external gate drivers and lacks SVI protocol compliance | Applicable to generic x86 designs using parallel VID or PMBus, not AMD-specific SVI systems | Choose ISL6328ACRZ-T for native AMD SVI support, integrated drivers, and guaranteed compatibility with AMD processor power states. |
Compared with ISL6328CRZ-T and RT8803AGQW, the ISL6328ACRZ-T uniquely combines AMD SVI compliance, monolithic 4-phase core drivers, APA, and GVOT-making it the only drop-in solution for high-fidelity, production-ready AMD CPU VRMs requiring minimal BOM count and guaranteed specification alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the ISL6328ACRZ-T?
The ISL6328ACRZ-T supports a selectable switching frequency range from 0.15 MHz to 1.5 MHz, set by an external resistor on the FS pin. At RT = 100 kΩ to VCC, typical frequency is 255 kHz; higher values scale linearly per Equation 1 in FN7986. This range balances efficiency, transient response, and component size for AMD CPU VRMs.
Does the ISL6328ACRZ-T support AMD SVI2 or only SVI1?
The ISL6328ACRZ-T supports AMD Serial VID (SVI) protocol as defined in its original specification-compatible with SVI1 and early SVI2 implementations used in AMD K10 through Piledriver-era processors. It does not support later SVI2 extensions like dynamic frequency scaling commands beyond voltage control, per FN7986 Rev 1.00 functional description.
How does the ISL6328ACRZ-T implement phase shedding in PSI_L mode?
In PSI_L mode, the ISL6328ACRZ-T reduces active core phases from four to one or two based on DRPCTRL pin resistor value. When DRPCTRL is grounded, only one phase remains active; when tied to VCC, two phases operate-both with diode emulation and GVOT optimization to maintain efficiency at light loads without compromising regulation.
Can the ISL6328ACRZ-T be used for Intel processor power delivery?
No-the ISL6328ACRZ-T is specifically architected for AMD SVI-based processors and lacks Intel VRD/IMVP-compatible interfaces such as SVID, PMBus, or VRON signaling. Its SVI protocol stack, PSI_L behavior, and VDD/VDDNB rail separation are optimized exclusively for AMD split-plane architectures.
What thermal performance can be expected from the ISL6328ACRZ-T in a 4-phase design?
In a 4-phase core configuration with PVCC = 12 V and ambient ≤70°C, the ISL6328ACRZ-T achieves θJA = 27°C/W and θJC = 1°C/W. With proper PCB copper pour under the exposed thermal pad and ≥2 oz copper layers, junction temperature remains below 110°C at full load-well within the 150°C absolute maximum rating specified in FN7986.
