Product details
Overview
ISL6364CCRZ-T from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a dual-output VR12-compliant PWM controller for desktop CPU voltage regulation, supporting 4+1-phase operation with ±0.5% closed-loop system accuracy over load, line, and temperature, 0.5–1.5V output range, and integrated MOSFET drivers. It delivers precise core and graphics rail regulation in high-performance desktop motherboards.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6364CCRZ-T datasheet, ISL6364CCRZ-T pinout, ISL6364CCRZ-T application, or ISL6364CCRZ-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VR12 serial VID compliance, differential remote sensing capability, EAPP modulation for fast transient response, programmable droop, and thermal-compensated current monitoring for Intel CPU power delivery systems.
Technical Context
The ISL6364CCRZ-T implements two independent control loops: a 4-phase PWM channel for CPU core/memory VR and a dedicated 1-phase PWM channel for GPU/SA/I/O VR, each with independent oscillators up to 1 MHz. It uses InterSil's patented Enhanced Active Pulse Positioning (EAPP) modulation to minimize output capacitance requirements while maintaining sub-100ns load-step response.
It supports Serial VID (SVID) interface with programmable IMAX, TMAX, and BOOT registers, enabling dynamic phase add/drop, PSI# signaling, and precise current reporting via the IOUT register. Thermal compensation is applied to both current sense elements using dual NTC thermistor inputs (TMON, TMON6).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output multiphase PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6367CRZ | 7-phase total (6+1), higher IMAX support (up to 350A), added PMBus compatibility | Targeted at VR12.5/VR13 platforms with higher current CPUs; lacks identical SVID register mapping | Choose ISL6367CRZ only if upgrading to VR12.5+ and requiring PMBus telemetry or >300A core rail capability |
| RT8802AGQW | 4+1-phase, supports VR12/IMVP7, integrated gate drivers, no EAPP modulation | Designed for cost-sensitive mainstream desktops; uses conventional PWM with slower transient response (~200ns) | Choose RT8802AGQW when SVID compliance and thermal compensation are required but EAPP-level transient performance is not critical |
Compared with ISL6364CCRZ-T, ISL6367CRZ offers higher phase count and PMBus support but requires firmware updates for VR12.5 register sets, while RT8802AGQW provides functional VR12 compatibility at lower cost and complexity but sacrifices EAPP-enabled transient speed and dual-NTC thermal compensation precision.

The ISL6364CCRZ-T pinout is validated per datasheet Rev. 5.00 and includes dedicated SVID, current sense, thermal monitor, and phase driver pins.
How does the ISL6364CCRZ-T achieve fast transient response?
The ISL6364CCRZ-T achieves fast transient response (<100ns) through its proprietary Enhanced Active Pulse Positioning (EAPP) modulation scheme, which dynamically repositions PWM pulses across phases to maximize effective switching frequency without increasing individual phase frequency. This minimizes output capacitor requirements and improves regulation stability. The ISL6364CCRZ-T also uses differential remote sensing and linear control with evenly distributed PWM pulses to maintain phase current balance during transients.
