Product details
Overview
ISL95835HRZ from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a dual-output IMVP-7/VR12™ compliant voltage regulator IC for CPU/GPU core power delivery, featuring 3+1 phase configuration (VR1 configurable as 3-/2-/1-phase, VR2 fixed 1-phase), R3™ PWM modulation, 0.5% system accuracy over temperature, and integrated gate drivers for up to three phases.
For engineers reviewing the ISL95835HRZ datasheet, ISL95835HRZ pinout, ISL95835HRZ application, or ISL95835HRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include IMVP-7/VR12™ serial bus compliance, DCR/resistor current sensing support, differential remote sensing, programmable VBOOT, IMAX/TMAX, and adaptive body diode conduction control.
Technical Context
The ISL95835HRZ implements Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) technology, enabling variable switching frequency during load transients and improved light-load efficiency via automatic frequency scaling. It uses a shared serial control bus (SVID) for communication with Intel CPUs, reducing component count versus dual-chip solutions.
Both outputs support lossless DCR current sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation or precision resistor sensing, differential remote voltage sensing, and independent OC protection, Power-Good, and programmable VBOOT startup voltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output CPU voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL95837HRZ | Fixed 1+1 phase (VR1=1-phase, VR2=1-phase); no 3-phase capability; identical SVID, sensing, and protection features | Targeted for lower-power dual-core CPUs or GPUs where 3-phase VR1 is unnecessary | Select ISL95837HRZ only when full 3-phase headroom is not required - reduces gate driver complexity and layout area |
| RT8803AZQW | Single-chip dual-output VR with 3+1 phase, but uses analog VID instead of SVID; different current sensing architecture (no NTC-based DCR compensation) | Designed for AMD platforms or non-Intel VR12™ systems; lacks IMVP-7 compliance and SVID telemetry | Choose RT8803AZQW for cost-sensitive AMD-based designs where SVID bus functionality and Intel-specific telemetry are not needed |
Compared with ISL95835HRZ, ISL95837HRZ offers identical feature depth but reduced phase flexibility, while RT8803AZQW provides dual-output regulation without SVID dependency - making ISL95835HRZ the only choice for IMVP-7/VR12™-compliant Intel CPU platforms requiring 3-phase scalability and full telemetry.

FAQ
What is the primary compliance standard supported by the ISL95835HRZ?
The ISL95835HRZ is fully compliant with Intel IMVP-7 and VR12™ specifications. It implements the SVID serial interface protocol for dynamic voltage identification, telemetry reporting, and thermal management coordination with Intel CPUs. This compliance ensures interoperability with 2nd–4th generation Intel Core processors and validated platform reference designs.
Does the ISL95835HRZ support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL95835HRZ supports both lossless DCR current sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation and precision resistor current sensing on both VR1 and VR2 outputs. This dual-mode capability allows designers to optimize for efficiency (DCR) or accuracy (resistor), and the NTC compensation maintains <±2% current measurement error across –10°C to +105°C ambient.
How does the R3™ technology in the ISL95835HRZ improve transient response?
The ISL95835HRZ uses Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) technology, which dynamically adjusts switching frequency during load steps and employs predictive ripple-based modulation. This achieves <5 µs transient settling time for 50% load steps - significantly faster than conventional constant-frequency PWM - while maintaining stability without external compensation components.
Can the ISL95835HRZ be configured for a 1+1 phase setup like the ISL95837HRZ?
Yes, the ISL95835HRZ can be configured for 1+1 phase operation by disabling two gate drivers in VR1 via SVID command or pin-strapping. However, unlike the ISL95837HRZ, it retains full 3-phase capability and associated R3™ optimization logic - offering field-upgradable flexibility for platforms that may later require higher current delivery without hardware change.
What thermal management features are integrated into the ISL95835HRZ?
The ISL95835HRZ integrates programmable TMAX (thermal maximum threshold) per output, adaptive body diode conduction time reduction, and DCR temperature compensation via single NTC thermistor. These features collectively maintain current-sense accuracy and minimize switching losses across operating temperatures, enabling reliable operation up to 105°C junction temperature without derating.
