Product details
Overview
ISL95857HRTZ-T from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a 1+2+1-phase voltage regulator controller for Intel IMVP8™ CPUs, delivering precise core (VR A), graphics (VR B), and system agent (VR C) rail regulation with 0.5% system accuracy over temperature, PSYS input power monitoring, and R3™ modulator technology enabling fast transient response and diode emulation mode for light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the ISL95857HRTZ-T datasheet, ISL95857HRTZ-T pinout, ISL95857HRTZ-T application, or ISL95857HRTZ-T equivalent, this controller supports SVID serial interface, resistor-programmable IMAX/switching frequency/address, DCR or resistor current sensing, and differential remote sensing across three independent VR outputs in a 40-pin QFN package.
Technical Context
The ISL95857HRTZ-T implements Intel IMVP8™ compliance via a shared SVID bus controlling three VR outputs: VR A (1-phase only), VR B (configurable 1- or 2-phase), and VR C (1-phase only), each with programmable load-line coefficients (2.4 mΩ, 2 mΩ, 10.3 mΩ respectively) and individual OC protection.
Its Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™) architecture enables variable switching frequency during load transients, diode emulation at light loads, and supports both lossless DCR sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation and high-precision resistor-based current sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Regulation Accuracy | 0.5% system accuracy over temperature ensures tight CPU rail tolerance under thermal stress. |
| VR Outputs | Three independent outputs: VR A (1-phase), VR B (1-/2-phase configurable), VR C (1-phase) for IMVP8™ core/graphics/SA rails. |
| Load-Line Coefficients | VR A = 2.4 mΩ, VR B = 2 mΩ, VR C = 10.3 mΩ - sets dynamic voltage droop per load current for Intel-compliant adaptive regulation. |
| Current Sensing | Supports either DCR sensing (with NTC compensation) or precision resistor sensing - enables flexible, accurate phase current measurement. |
| PSYS Monitoring | Integrated system input power monitor compliant with IMVP8™ PS4 requirements for platform-level power budgeting. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail IMVP8™ voltage regulator controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL95855HRTZ-T | 2+1-phase controller (no VR A); lacks PSYS monitoring and VR A output. | Targeted at platforms omitting dedicated core rail, e.g., some Atom-based designs. | Select when only graphics + system agent rails are required and PSYS is unused. |
| RT8803AGQW | 3-phase single-controller architecture; no separate VR A/B/C designation; fixed 1.5% accuracy. | Designed for cost-sensitive IMVP8™ implementations with simplified layout and fewer external components. | Choose for lower BOM count where 0.5% accuracy and independent load-line tuning are not mandatory. |
Compared with ISL95857HRTZ-T, the ISL95855HRTZ-T omits VR A and PSYS for reduced complexity, while the RT8803AGQW trades precision and configurability for integration and cost - making ISL95857HRTZ-T optimal for full-featured IMVP8™ CPU power delivery requiring independent rail control and highest accuracy.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ISL95857HRTZ-T in an Intel platform?
The ISL95857HRTZ-T serves as a 1+2+1-phase voltage regulator controller for Intel IMVP8™ microprocessors, managing three independent power rails: VR A (core), VR B (graphics), and VR C (system agent). It delivers precise voltage regulation, load-line adaptation, and PSYS monitoring while interfacing directly with the CPU via SVID. The ISL95857HRTZ-T enables full compliance with IMVP8™ specifications including PS4 low-power state requirements.
Does the ISL95857HRTZ-T support both DCR and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the ISL95857HRTZ-T supports two current sensing methods: lossless inductor DCR sensing with single NTC thermistor compensation for temperature drift correction, and high-precision resistor-based sensing for applications demanding tighter current measurement accuracy. Each VR output (VR A, VR B, VR C) has dedicated IMON inputs, allowing independent selection per rail. This flexibility is documented in the ISL95857HRTZ-T datasheet sections on current sensing configuration.
How is the load-line coefficient configured for each VR output in the ISL95857HRTZ-T?
The ISL95857HRTZ-T uses fixed, factory-trimmed load-line coefficients: VR A = 2.4 mΩ, VR B = 2 mΩ, and VR C = 10.3 mΩ - matching Intel IMVP8™ requirements for core, graphics, and system agent rails respectively. These values are implemented internally and cannot be altered by external components. The ISL95857HRTZ-T applies them automatically during SVID communication and do not require resistor programming or register writes.
Can the ISL95857HRTZ-T operate in PS4 low-power state with minimal quiescent current?
Yes, the ISL95857HRTZ-T complies with Intel IMVP8™ PS4 power-state requirements, featuring ultra-low supply current during deep-sleep modes to minimize platform standby power. Its internal circuitry remains partially active to monitor SVID commands and maintain basic regulation readiness. This PS4 capability is validated in the ISL95857HRTZ-T datasheet's electrical characteristics table under "Supply Current - PS4 State".
What package type and pin count does the ISL95857HRTZ-T use?
The ISL95857HRTZ-T is housed in a 40-pin QFN package measuring 6 mm × 6 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. This RoHS-compliant package supports reflow soldering and provides low-inductance connections for high-frequency PWM outputs and sensitive analog sensing paths. The full pinout, including VR_PWM signals, SVID interface, PSYS input, and remote sense terminals, is defined in the ISL95857HRTZ-T datasheet Figure 2.
