Product details
Overview
ISL95855BHRTZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a 3+2+1-phase IMVP8™ desktop CPU voltage regulator controller supporting core (VR A), graphics (VR B), and non-SVID system agent (VR C) rails. It delivers 0.5% system accuracy over temperature, supports DCR/resistor current sensing, and integrates R3™ modulator technology for fast transient response and diode emulation at light load.
For engineers reviewing the ISL95855BHRTZ datasheet, ISL95855BHRTZ pinout, ISL95855BHRTZ application, or ISL95855BHRTZ equivalent, key selection criteria include IMVP8 compliance, three independent VR outputs with phase configurability (3/2/1, 2/1, 1), PSYS input power monitoring, and VccSA fixed-rail support without SVID interface.
Technical Context
The ISL95855BHRTZ implements a Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) modulator architecture enabling variable switching frequency during load transients and adaptive body diode conduction time reduction. It uses a shared serial control bus for all three VR outputs to reduce board area versus dual-chip solutions.
VR A supports 3-, 2-, or 1-phase operation with programmable IMAX, slew rate, and droop; VR B supports 2- or 1-phase; VR C is fixed 1-phase for non-SVID VccSA. All outputs feature differential remote sensing, OC protection, and a unified VR_READY signal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IMVP8 Compliance | Fully compliant timing, protocol, and protection requirements for Intel 4th–6th Gen desktop CPUs. |
| Output Configuration | Three independent VR controllers: VR A (3/2/1-phase), VR B (2/1-phase), VR C (1-phase fixed VccSA). |
| System Accuracy | ±0.5% over full temperature range - enables tight VOUT tolerance for CPU core/GT rail stability. |
| Current Sensing | Supports lossless DCR sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation or precision resistor-based sensing. |
| R3™ Modulator | Enables faster transient settling, variable frequency under load step, and diode emulation mode for light-load efficiency. |
| PSYS Monitoring | Integrated system input power monitor input for real-time platform-level power budgeting and thermal management. |
| Voltage Sensing | Differential remote sense on all three outputs - rejects PCB IR drop for accurate load-point regulation. |
Pinout & Package
ISL95855BHRTZ is housed in a 48-pin QFN package (7mm × 7mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per the official ISL95855B datasheet (FN8844 Rev 0.00), including dedicated SVID bus lines (SVID_CLK, SVID_DATA), VR-specific PWM outputs (PWM_Ax, PWM_Bx, PWM_C), current sense inputs (CSA+, CSA−, CSB+, CSB−, CSC+), remote sense pairs (VSNS_A, VSNS_B, VSNS_C), and PSYS input.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SVID_CLK / SVID_DATA | Shared serial bus interface | Single bidirectional bus for all three VRs - reduces routing complexity vs. discrete controllers. |
| PWM_A0–A2 / B0–B1 / C0 | Phase PWM outputs | Drives external DrMOS or discrete FETs; count matches configured phase count per VR. |
| CSA+/−, CSB+/−, CSC+ | Current sense inputs | Dedicated differential inputs per VR - supports DCR or resistor sensing with independent gain calibration. |
| VSNS_A/B/C, VFB_A/B/C | Remote voltage sense | Differential inputs referenced to local ground - compensates for PCB trace resistance to maintain ±0.5% accuracy. |
| PSYS | System input power monitor | Analog input accepting scaled voltage proportional to total platform input power - used for dynamic power capping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable SVID addresses | Independent address assignment per VR output enables coexistence of multiple ISL95855BHRTZ devices or mixed VR configurations on one bus. |
| Non-SVID VR C for VccSA | Dedicated fixed 1-phase controller for Intel's system agent rail - eliminates need for separate SVID-capable IC or firmware overhead. |
| Adaptive body diode reduction | Minimizes reverse conduction losses in high-side FETs during light-load discontinuous conduction mode - improves efficiency by ~2–3% at <10% load. |
| Resistor-programmable parameters | IMAX, switching frequency, droop, and VBOOT startup voltage set via external resistors - no EEPROM or firmware required for configuration. |
| Unified VR_READY signal | Single open-drain power-good indicator confirms stable regulation across all three VR outputs - simplifies motherboard sequencing logic. |
Applications
| Desktop CPU Core Power Delivery | Desktop GPU Voltage Regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail CPU voltage regulator controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL95855HRTZ | Same pinout and function but lacks PSYS input and VR C non-SVID support; VR C is SVID-enabled. | Requires SVID-capable VccSA rail; not suitable for IMVP8 desktops needing fixed non-SVID VccSA. | Select ISL95855BHRTZ when VccSA must operate without SVID handshake or PSYS monitoring is required. |
| RT8803AZQW | 3+2+1-phase IMVP8 controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; no PSYS input; different pinout and register map. | Targets cost-sensitive designs where driver integration reduces external component count but sacrifices flexibility in power stage selection. | Choose ISL95855BHRTZ for designs using discrete DrMOS or ISL95808 drivers and requiring PSYS feedback. |
Compared with ISL95855HRTZ and RT8803AZQW, the ISL95855BHRTZ uniquely combines non-SVID VccSA support, PSYS monitoring, and R3™ modulation - making it the only option for IMVP8 desktop motherboards requiring all three features in a single controller.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL95855BHRTZ in an IMVP8 desktop platform?
The ISL95855BHRTZ serves as a 3+2+1-phase voltage regulator controller managing CPU core (VR A), integrated GPU (VR B), and system agent (VR C) rails. It implements IMVP8 protocol compliance, provides ±0.5% system accuracy, and integrates R3™ modulation for fast transient response. Its non-SVID VR C output directly supports fixed VccSA without SVID negotiation - a key requirement for LGA1150/LGA1151 desktop platforms.
Does the ISL95855BHRTZ support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL95855BHRTZ supports both methods: lossless inductor DCR sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation for temperature drift correction, and precision resistor-based sensing for higher accuracy where board space allows. Each VR output (A, B, C) has dedicated differential current sense inputs (CSA±, CSB±, CSC+) configurable independently via external components and register settings.
How does the PSYS input on the ISL95855BHRTZ enhance platform power management?
The PSYS input on the ISL95855BHRTZ accepts an analog voltage proportional to total system input power, enabling real-time platform-level power budgeting. When combined with IMVP8's dynamic voltage/frequency scaling, this allows motherboard firmware to implement hardware-enforced TDP capping - critical for thermal management in compact desktop chassis. The ISL95855BHRTZ processes PSYS data internally to adjust VR behavior without CPU intervention.
Can the ISL95855BHRTZ be used in laptop or mobile IMVP8 designs?
No, the ISL95855BHRTZ is specified exclusively for IMVP8-compliant desktop CPUs. Its VR C output is configured for non-SVID VccSA - a desktop-specific requirement. Mobile IMVP8 implementations use different VccSA protocols and typically require SVID-enabled controllers like ISL95855HRTZ or ISL95857. The datasheet explicitly states "IMVP8 compliant desktops only" as the sole application.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the ISL95855BHRTZ use?
The ISL95855BHRTZ is packaged in a 48-pin QFN (7mm × 7mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. This package supports high-power density layouts typical of desktop VRMs and enables efficient heat dissipation through the PCB thermal plane. The device operates from –40°C to +85°C ambient, with internal thermal shutdown protection triggered above 125°C junction temperature - consistent with IMVP8 thermal specification requirements.
