Product details
Overview
ISL6563CRZ-TK from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a two-phase multiphase buck PWM controller with integrated MOSFET drivers, designed for precision voltage regulation of advanced microprocessors. It supports Intel VRM9/VRM10 and AMD Hammer VID protocols, delivers ±1% system accuracy over temperature, and operates across 0°C to +70°C ambient range in a 24-lead QFN package. Its rDS(ON)-based current sensing enables automatic channel current balancing and droop programming for dynamic load-line regulation.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6563CRZ-TK datasheet, ISL6563CRZ-TK pinout, ISL6563CRZ-TK application, or ISL6563CRZ-TK equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed VID compatibility modes, real-world multiphase design implications, and authoritative alternative part comparisons - all grounded in the FN9126 Rev 8.00 datasheet and official ordering information.
Technical Context
The ISL6563CRZ-TK implements interleaved two-phase PWM control using an internal oscillator with 189–255 kHz per-channel switching frequency, adjustable via external components. Its dual-channel architecture employs phase-interleaved timing to double effective ripple frequency and reduce output capacitor requirements.
It integrates lossless rDS(ON) current sensing on both PHASE1 and PHASE2 pins, feeding sampled currents through ISEN to enable real-time channel current balancing, overcurrent protection (95 µA threshold), and programmable droop via RISEN. The error amplifier features 96 dB DC gain and 20 MHz gain-bandwidth product for fast transient response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Two-phase interleaved synchronous buck PWM controller with integrated high- and low-side gate drivers |
| VID Compatibility | Programmable for Intel VRM9, VRM10, or AMD Hammer DAC codes via DACSEL/VID5 and VRM10 pins |
| System Accuracy | ±1% over temperature (0°C to +70°C), enabling tight microprocessor core voltage regulation |
| Switching Frequency | 189–255 kHz per phase at +25°C; supports higher effective ripple frequency for reduced output capacitance |
| Current Sensing | rDS(ON)-based, no external sense resistors required; enables automatic channel current balance and OCP |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 95 µA reference; triggers hiccup-mode shutdown if both channels exceed threshold simultaneously or one channel exceeds it for 7 consecutive cycles |
| Droop Programming | Resistor-programmable via ISEN pin; implements load-line regulation to reduce voltage overshoot/undershoot during transients |
Pinout & Package
ISL6563CRZ-TK is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 24-lead QFN package (4 mm × 4 mm, JEDEC MO-220 compliant), with exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal performance. The package supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Pb-free profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID0–VID4 (Pins 2,1,24–22) | Voltage identification inputs | TTL-compatible logic inputs decoded into DAC reference voltage; internally pulled up to ~1.2 V |
| DACSEL/VID5 (Pin 3) | DAC standard selection or VRM10 bit 5 | Selects VRM9/AMD Hammer mode when open/high; serves as VID5 in VRM10 mode when VRM10 pin is grounded |
| VRM10 (Pin 4) | VRM10 compliance enable | Grounding selects VRM10 mode; open or high enables VRM9/Hammer selection via DACSEL |
| ENLL (Pin 21) | Enable input with precision threshold | Enables controller when pulled above ~0.61 V; disables operation when low |
| FB (Pin 6) & COMP (Pin 5) | Error amplifier inverting input and output | FB receives current-sensed droop signal and voltage feedback; COMP drives compensation network for loop stability |
| ISEN (Pin 7) | Current sense scaling input | Sets overcurrent threshold and droop magnitude via external resistor; accepts time-multiplexed rDS(ON) current samples from both phases |
| UGATE1/2 (Pins 19,12) | Upper MOSFET gate drive outputs | Drive high-side N-channel MOSFET gates with 0.5 Ω typical source/sink resistance; duty cycle limited to ≤66% |
| LGATE1/2 (Pins 17,15) | Lower MOSFET gate drive outputs | Drive low-side N-channel MOSFET gates with 0.5 Ω typical source/sink resistance; referenced to PGND |
| BOOT1/2 (Pins 20,11) | Bootstrap supply inputs | Provide floating bias for upper gate drivers via external bootstrap capacitors; internal diodes charge from PVCC |
| PHASE1/2 (Pins 18,13) | High-side switch source nodes | Return path for upper gate drivers; used for rDS(ON) voltage sampling during lower FET conduction |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Bias supply for small-signal circuitry | Requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling; powers internal logic, DAC, and error amplifier |
| PVCC (Pin 16) | Power supply for gate drivers | Requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling; supplies high-current drive capability for UGATE/LGATE outputs |
| GND (Pin 25) & PGND (Pin 14) | Analog ground and power ground | GND references small-signal circuitry; PGND references LGATE drivers and PHASE nodes - must be short, low-inductance paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6564CRZ-TK | Four-phase version with identical VID support, same 24-lead QFN package, but higher channel count and extended frequency range (150–300 kHz) | Required for >120 A loads or where tighter ripple suppression is needed; not drop-in compatible due to different pin mapping and phase control logic | Select ISL6564CRZ-TK only when four-phase operation is mandatory; verify PCB layout and firmware support for additional phase signals. |
| RT8802AGQW | Two-phase controller with VRM10/VRM11 support, integrated MOSFET drivers, but uses external current-sense resistors and lacks rDS(ON) sensing | Suitable for designs prioritizing flexibility over cost-sensitive BOM optimization; requires additional sense resistors and compensation components | Choose RT8802AGQW if VRM11 compliance or programmable OCP thresholds are required; accept added board area and power loss from sense resistors. |
Compared with ISL6563CRZ-TK, the ISL6564CRZ-TK scales phase count but increases complexity and layout constraints, while the RT8802AGQW trades integrated rDS(ON) sensing for broader VID protocol coverage and configurable protection - making ISL6563CRZ-TK optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained VRM9/VRM10/AMD Hammer designs needing minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ISL6563CRZ-TK?
The ISL6563CRZ-TK is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient, as confirmed in the FN9126 datasheet Ordering Information table. This range applies to all variants marked 'CRZ', including ISL6563CRZ-TK. It is not rated for industrial (-40°C to +85°C) operation - that specification applies only to the 'IRZ' suffix variants like ISL6563IRZ-TK.
Does the ISL6563CRZ-TK support dynamic VID changes during operation?
Yes, the ISL6563CRZ-TK supports dynamic VID changes. In VRM9 or AMD Hammer mode, it detects new VID codes after 12 consecutive matching cycles and transitions in 1-step increments every 4 cycles. In VRM10 mode, it validates changes after 3 readings and updates the reference immediately - though large steps may trigger overvoltage events. This behavior is fully documented in the FN9126 datasheet Section "Dynamic VID (VID-on-the-Fly)".
How does the ISL6563CRZ-TK implement current balancing between phases?
The ISL6563CRZ-TK performs automatic channel current balancing by sampling the rDS(ON) voltage across each lower MOSFET during conduction, converting it to a current via the ISEN resistor, and comparing each channel's current to the average. The error signal adjusts individual PWM pulse widths to force convergence. No external balancer IC or manual tuning is required - this is an integrated, self-correcting function detailed in the "Channel-Current Balance" section of FN9126.
What package type and lead count does the ISL6563CRZ-TK use?
The ISL6563CRZ-TK uses a 24-lead QFN package measuring 4 mm × 4 mm, compliant with JEDEC PUB95 MO-220 outline L24.4x4B. It features an exposed thermal pad on the underside for improved heat dissipation and is Pb-free/RoHS compliant. This package is shared across all ISL6563 variants (CRZ, IRZ) and is explicitly listed in the FN9126 datasheet "Ordering Information" table.
Can the ISL6563CRZ-TK start up into a pre-charged output capacitor?
Yes, the ISL6563CRZ-TK supports start-up into a pre-charged output, a feature explicitly called out in the FN9126 datasheet "Features" list and verified in functional testing. This capability ensures safe and reliable power sequencing in systems where output bulk capacitors retain residual voltage prior to controller enablement - critical for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications.
