Product details
Overview
ISL6568IRZR5184 from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a two-phase buck PWM controller with integrated MOSFET drivers, designed for precision core voltage regulation in Intel VRM9/VRM10 and AMD Hammer microprocessor power delivery systems. It supports 1–2-phase operation, delivers ±0.5% system accuracy over temperature, uses dual DCR/rDS(ON) current sensing for droop control and channel balancing, and operates up to 1.5 MHz per phase.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6568IRZR5184 datasheet, ISL6568IRZR5184 pinout, ISL6568IRZR5184 application, or ISL6568IRZR5184 equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, 32-lead 5×5 QFN package, programmable VID decoding, differential remote sensing, and dual-method current monitoring architecture for high-accuracy load-line positioning and per-phase current balance.
Technical Context
The ISL6568IRZR5184 implements interleaved two-phase PWM control with adaptive non-overlap timing (10 ns UGATE/LGATE turn-on delay) and internal sawtooth oscillator synchronized across phases. Its error amplifier features 96 dB DC gain and 20 MHz gain-bandwidth product, enabling stable compensation for fast-transient CPU loads.
It integrates dual current-sensing paths: lossless inductor DCR sensing (via ISUM/IREF/ICOMP) for load-line droop and overcurrent protection, and rDS(ON)-based sensing (via ISEN1/ISEN2) for real-time per-channel current sampling and dynamic pulse-width correction to maintain ≤±3% channel current imbalance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar two-phase buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6568IRZ | Identical silicon; differs only in packaging-bulk tray vs. tape-and-reel (R5184) | No functional difference; same electrical specs, thermal performance, and pinout | Select ISL6568IRZR5184 for automated SMT assembly; ISL6568IRZ for prototyping or low-volume hand placement |
| RT8802AGQW | Single-chip 2-phase controller with integrated drivers, but lacks rDS(ON) current sensing and AMD Hammer VID support | Requires external current sense resistors for channel balance; limited to Intel VRM10/11 protocols | Choose RT8802AGQW only if AMD compatibility and DCR-only sensing are not required; verify PGOOD timing and soft-start behavior against ISL6568IRZR5184 |
Compared with ISL6568IRZR5184, ISL6568IRZ offers identical functionality in tray packaging, while RT8802AGQW trades AMD VID and rDS(ON) sensing for lower BOM cost in Intel-only designs-making ISL6568IRZR5184 the sole option for mixed-architecture or high-precision droop-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ISL6568IRZR5184?
The ISL6568IRZR5184 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per the device's recommended operating conditions and thermal specifications, including θJA = 35°C/W and maximum junction temperature of +150°C. The ISL6568IRZR5184 maintains ±0.5% system accuracy across this full range, making it suitable for fanless or thermally constrained embedded and server applications where the ISL6568IRZR5184 must sustain continuous load without derating.
Does the ISL6568IRZR5184 support AMD Hammer VID codes?
Yes, the ISL6568IRZR5184 fully supports AMD Hammer VID codes through dedicated decoding logic. Configuration is achieved by connecting the VID12.5 pin to +5 V via a 5 kΩ resistor, as specified in Table 1 of the FN9187 datasheet. The ISL6568IRZR5184 then interprets VID0–VID4 as a 5-bit code mapping to output voltages from 0.800 V to 1.550 V in 25 mV steps, matching AMD's published Hammer specification. This capability is electrically verified and distinct from its Intel VRM9/VRM10 modes.
How does the ISL6568IRZR5184 implement current balancing between phases?
The ISL6568IRZR5184 achieves per-phase current balancing using rDS(ON) current sensing on ISEN1 and ISEN2 pins, sampling lower-MOSFET conduction voltage each cycle. The sampled currents are compared to the average channel current (IAVG), and real-time PWM pulse-width correction is applied to minimize imbalance. This patented method ensures ≤±3% current mismatch across load conditions without external current-sense resistors-directly enabled by the ISL6568IRZR5184's integrated sensing amplifiers and digital correction logic.
What package type and dimensions does the ISL6568IRZR5184 use?
The ISL6568IRZR5184 uses a 32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch QFN package (JEDEC MO-220, variant VVDD) with an exposed thermal pad. Its mechanical drawing is L32.5x5, and it is Pb-free and RoHS compliant. The R5184 suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging (1800 units per reel), while the underlying silicon and pinout are identical to the ISL6568IRZ. No land pattern or stencil adjustments are needed when migrating between these variants.
Can the ISL6568IRZR5184 operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the ISL6568IRZR5184 can be configured for single-phase operation by connecting both BOOT2 and PHASE2 pins to +12 V, which disables the second phase driver and PWM channel. In this mode, all control loops-including voltage regulation, current sensing (via ISEN1 only), and protection-remain fully active on Phase 1. The ISL6568IRZR5184 retains its full feature set, including differential remote sensing, VID decoding, and soft-start, making it adaptable for lower-current applications without redesigning the schematic or layout.
