Product details
Overview
ISL6353CRTZ-TK from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a three-phase VR12-compliant PWM buck regulator controller for DDR memory power delivery. It integrates two MOSFET gate drivers, supports DCR/resistor current sensing, delivers 5-mV VID voltage steps, and achieves fast transient response via Robust Ripple Regulator™ (R3) technology in applications such as DDR3/DDR4 memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6353CRTZ-TK datasheet, ISL6353CRTZ-TK pinout, ISL6353CRTZ-TK application, or ISL6353CRTZ-TK equivalent, key selection criteria include VR12 SVID bus compliance, programmable 1-/2-/3-phase operation, differential remote voltage sensing, thermal alert with NTC interface, and R3 modulator-based light-load PFM efficiency.
Technical Context
The ISL6353CRTZ-TK implements a multiphase R3 modulator architecture where a master clock generates phase-shifted slave clocks (120° in 3-phase mode), and each phase uses a synthesized ripple voltage (Vcrs) referenced to the VW/COMP window to determine PWM on-time. This eliminates phase jitter while retaining error amplifier-based precision regulation.
It supports dynamic phase shedding across PS0/PS1/PS2 power states via SVID commands or external PSI/VSET pins, enables adaptive body diode conduction time reduction, and provides independent OCP thresholds per power state - e.g., 60 µA nominal overcurrent trip in PS0 (3-phase), dropping to 20 µA in PS1/PS2 1-phase mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Regulation Standard | VR12 Serial VID (SVID) compliant; supports Intel VR12 protocol for DDR memory VDDQ/VDDP control. |
| Phase Configuration | Programmable 1-, 2-, or 3-phase interleaved operation; phase count dynamically adjustable via SVID or PSI pin. |
| Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% system accuracy over 0.75–1.50 V VID range; ±8 mV over 0.5–0.7375 V range - enables tight DDR memory rail tolerance. |
| Switching Frequency | 200–500 kHz programmable via resistor on VW pin (18 kΩ → ~300 kHz); supports CCM and PFM modes. |
| Current Sensing | Dual-mode support: lossless DCR sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation or precision resistor sensing. |
| Thermal Monitoring | Integrated thermal alert (VR_HOT#) and ALERT# outputs; NTC input with 60 µA source current for accurate die temperature tracking. |
| Protection Features | OCP/WOC, OVP (145–200 mV over setpoint), PGOOD, and current imbalance detection (20 mV threshold). |
Pinout & Package
ISL6353CRTZ-TK is housed in a Pb-free 40-lead 5 mm × 5 mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (L40.5x5). Pin assignments are validated per FN6897 Rev 0.00 datasheet, Page 4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| UG1, UG2 | High-side MOSFET gate drivers | Drive Phase 1/2 upper FET gates; 2 A sink/source capability with <30 ns deadtime control. |
| LG1, LG2 | Low-side MOSFET gate drivers | Drive Phase 1/2 lower FET gates; 4 A sink capability ensures robust synchronous rectification. |
| ISEN1–ISEN3 | Per-phase current sense inputs | Accept DCR or resistor-based current signals; ISEN2/ISEN3 disable phases when pulled high. |
| VSEN / RTN | Differential remote voltage sense pair | Enables precise load-point regulation by referencing feedback to DDR memory IC VDDQ pins. |
| SDA / SCLK / ALERT# | SVID serial bus interface | Connect directly to CPU SVID host; open-drain ALERT# reports thermal/fault events without polling. |
| VR_ON / PSI / VSET1/VSET2 | Hardware control inputs | Enable/disable regulator (VR_ON), select power state (PSI), or override VID (VSET1/VSET2) without SVID traffic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Robust Ripple Regulator™ (R3) | Variable-frequency modulation during transients + natural PFM at light load → 95% peak efficiency and <20 µs recovery from 26 A step. |
| VR12 SVID Compliance | Full register mapping for VR12 commands including VR_HOT#, IMON reporting, and phase-drop sequencing per Intel spec. |
| Differential Remote Sensing | VSEN/RTN pair rejects PCB IR drop → maintains ±5 mV regulation accuracy at DDR memory ball pads under dynamic load. |
| Programmable Thermal Alert | NTC-based VR_HOT# asserts below 0.91 V (trip) and releases above 0.965 V (reset) - configurable for system-level thermal throttling. |
| Phase Current Balancing | Active per-phase current monitoring and trimming → ≤20 mV inter-phase current mismatch ensures uniform thermal distribution. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase VR12 controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6353IRTZ | Wider operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C vs. 0°C to +70°C); identical pinout, functionality, and electrical specs. | Required for industrial or extended-temperature server/storage platforms; not suitable for cost-sensitive commercial laptops. | Select ISL6353IRTZ when ambient operating temperature exceeds 70°C or JEDEC Class B reliability is mandated. |
| IR35201MTRPBF | Single-chip 3-phase VR12 controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; supports same SVID protocol but uses different R3 implementation and lacks PSI/VSET hardware override pins. | Used in high-density motherboards where board space is constrained; requires different layout for gate drive routing and current sensing. | Choose IR35201MTRPBF only if footprint reduction is prioritized over hardware configurability and thermal alert flexibility. |
Compared with ISL6353IRTZ, the ISL6353CRTZ-TK trades extended temperature support for lower cost and qualification scope; compared with IR35201MTRPBF, it offers superior hardware control granularity and thermal monitoring fidelity at the expense of slightly larger layout area.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ISL6353CRTZ-TK?
The ISL6353CRTZ-TK is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, with a maximum junction temperature of +125°C. This commercial-grade specification makes it suitable for desktop PCs, laptops, and enterprise storage controllers where ambient conditions remain within this envelope. The ISL6353CRTZ-TK datasheet specifies thermal resistance θJA = 32°C/W and θJC = 3°C/W for thermal design validation.
Does the ISL6353CRTZ-TK support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL6353CRTZ-TK supports dual current sensing methods: lossless inductor DCR sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation for temperature drift correction, and precision shunt resistor sensing. The ISEN1–ISEN3 pins accept either signal type, and configuration is handled internally without external op-amps or calibration circuitry - enabling flexible BOM optimization per design requirement.
How does the R3 modulator in the ISL6353CRTZ-TK improve transient response?
The ISL6353CRTZ-TK's Robust Ripple Regulator™ (R3) modulator improves transient response by dynamically increasing switching frequency during load steps - detected via COMP voltage rise - while maintaining fixed-frequency stability at steady state. This yields <20 µs recovery from 26 A load transients, as verified in Figure 1 of the FN6897 datasheet, without sacrificing light-load efficiency.
Can the ISL6353CRTZ-TK operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the ISL6353CRTZ-TK is fully programmable for 1-, 2-, or 3-phase operation via SVID commands or hardware pins (ISEN2, PWM3). Pulling ISEN2 to 5 V disables Phase 2; pulling PWM3 to 5 V disables Phase 3. This allows seamless transition into single-phase PS2 mode for ultra-low-power states while retaining full regulation accuracy and protection coverage.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL6353CRTZ-TK?
The ISL6353CRTZ-TK integrates overvoltage protection (OVP at 145–200 mV above setpoint), overcurrent protection (OCP/WOC with state-dependent thresholds), overtemperature alert (VR_HOT#), power-good signaling (PGOOD), current imbalance detection (20 mV threshold), and fault latching via OVP pin. All protections operate independently of SVID communication, ensuring fail-safe behavior during bus faults or CPU reset.
