Product details
Overview
L6756DTR from STMicroelectronics is a 2/3/4-phase buck controller designed for Intel VR10, VR11, and VR11.1 CPU power delivery, featuring LTB Technology® for enhanced load transient response, ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over line/load/temperature, and full-differential DCR current sensing. It supports scalable multi-phase operation up to 4 phases and integrates remote sense buffer and feedback disconnection protection for high-current desktop/server CPU VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the L6756DTR datasheet, L6756DTR pinout, L6756DTR application, or L6756DTR equivalent, key selection criteria include VR11.x DAC programmability (7/8-bit VID), PSI#-enabled low-power state management, adjustable 100 kHz–1 MHz oscillator, LSLess startup for pre-biased outputs, and VFQFPN40 6×6 mm thermal performance with RthJC = 1 °C/W.
Technical Context
The L6756DTR implements a dual-edge asynchronous PWM architecture with selectable 2-, 3-, or 4-phase operation via G2/G4 pin strapping. Its LTB Technology® dynamically boosts loop gain during load transients using the LTB and LTB_GAIN pins, minimizing output filter requirements while maintaining stability under dynamic CPU loads.
It embeds an integrated 2.5 V reference (VREF), supports VR10/VR11.x DAC modes via PSI_A/PSI# configuration, and delivers precise voltage positioning through IMON, VDRP, and differential current sense inputs (CS1–CS4, CS1N–CS4N) with droop-based current sharing and ±4 μA droop accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Phase support | Configurable 2/3/4-phase operation via G2/G4 pin strapping - enables scalable current handling from ~60 A to >150 A with external drivers. |
| Output voltage accuracy | ±0.5% over line, load, and temperature - ensures stable core voltage for Intel CPUs across operating conditions. |
| VID resolution | 7/8-bit programmable DAC (VR10/VR11.1) - supports 6.25 mV steps down to 0.1 V for fine-grained CPU voltage control. |
| Oscillator range | 100 kHz to 1 MHz via ROSC resistor - sets per-phase switching frequency; total effective frequency at load = N × FSW. |
| Current sensing | Full-differential DCR sensing across all phases - eliminates offset errors and enables accurate per-phase current monitoring. |
| Protection features | OVP/UVP, feedback disconnection, overcurrent (ILIM threshold at 1.7 V), and VR_RDY open-drain fault indicator - safeguards CPU and power stage. |
| Package | VFQFPN40 6×6 mm with exposed thermal pad - provides RthJC = 1 °C/W for high-power density CPU VRM designs. |
Pinout & Package
VFQFPN40 6×6 mm package with 40-pin layout and exposed thermal pad connected to PGND for optimal thermal dissipation (RthJC = 1 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable input | Internally pulled up to 3.3 V; pull low to disable controller - supports system-level power sequencing. |
| 2–9 (VID0–VID7) | VR voltage identification | 3.3 V-tolerant digital inputs defining output voltage per Intel VR10/VR11.x tables - enables dynamic DVID transitions. |
| 10 (PSI#/VR10) | Power state indicator / DAC mode select | Configured by PSI_A: asserts low for VR11 low-power states or selects VR10 DAC when shorted to SGND. |
| 12 (ROSC) | Oscillator programming | Resistor-to-GND sets per-phase FSW (10 kHz/µA); floating = 200 kHz - determines ripple, efficiency, and component size. |
| 13 (ILIM) | Overcurrent threshold | Sources DROOP current; OC triggers at 1.7 V - sets current limit independent of inductor DCR tolerance. |
| 16–17 (FBG/VSEN) | Remote sense inputs | FBG connects to load ground, VSEN to load VCORE - enables Kelvin sensing to reject PCB IR drop. |
| 30–33 (G1–G4) | PWM outputs | CMOS drivers for external high-side MOSFETs - phase count set by grounding G2/G4; HiZ capable for phase shedding. |
| 40 (IMON) | Current monitor output | Sources current proportional to total load - clamped to 1.1 V max for safe interfacing with VR11.1 CPUs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LTB Technology® | Dynamically enhances loop bandwidth during load transients - reduces required bulk capacitance by up to 40% in VRM designs. |
| LSLess startup | Enables soft-start into pre-biased outputs - prevents reverse inductor current and negative voltage spikes at CPU VCORE. |
| Flexible driver interface | Gx outputs support HiZ mode and phase shedding - allows seamless transition between 2/3/4-phase operation without firmware change. |
| Integrated remote sense buffer | Eliminates need for external op-amps in Kelvin sense path - improves noise immunity and reduces BOM count. |
| Feedback disconnection protection | Shuts down on FBG/VSEN open-circuit - prevents unregulated high voltage at CPU due to PCB trace disconnect. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-phase CPU buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6367IRZ | 6-phase capable, integrated MOSFET drivers, no LTB Technology®, requires external DAC for VR11.1 | Targets higher-current server platforms (>200 A); lacks LSLess startup and VR_RDY fault signaling | Select for systems needing >4 phases or integrated drivers; avoid if LTB transient enhancement or pre-biased startup is required. |
| RT8803AZSP | 4-phase, VR12.5/VR13 compliant, 0.5% accuracy, but no PSI# support or remote sense buffer integration | Designed for newer Intel 10nm+/AMD Zen 3+ platforms; lacks VR10 backward compatibility and feedback disconnection protection | Choose for next-gen CPU support where VR11.1 legacy features and robustness against sense-line faults are non-critical. |
Compared with ISL6367IRZ and RT8803AZSP, the L6756DTR uniquely combines VR10/VR11.1 dual-mode DAC, LTB-enhanced transient response, and integrated remote sense buffer - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained VRM designs requiring backward compatibility and field-proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported output current for L6756DTR?
The L6756DTR itself does not deliver current; it controls external high-side MOSFETs. With four phases driving 60 A per phase (using 3 mΩ DCR inductors and 30 A-rated drivers), total output can exceed 200 A. Actual current is limited by external components, PCB layout, and thermal design - the VFQFPN40 package supports junction temperatures up to 125 °C under sustained 120 A load with proper heatsinking.
Does L6756DTR support VR12 or newer CPU specifications?
No. The L6756DTR is explicitly designed for Intel VR10, VR11, and VR11.1 specifications only. It lacks VR12/VR13 features such as SVID interface, adaptive voltage positioning (AVP), or SMBus communication. For VR12+, ST recommends the STNRG388A or third-party alternatives like Renesas ISL91302B.
How is phase count configured on L6756DTR?
Phase count is set by strapping G2 and/or G4 pins to GND: G4 grounded = 3-phase; G2 and G4 grounded = 2-phase; both floating = 4-phase. This hardware-selectable configuration avoids firmware dependencies and enables flexible board reuse across different CPU power tiers without changing the controller IC.
Can L6756DTR operate without remote sense connections?
Yes, but with reduced accuracy. If FBG and VSEN are tied directly to local ground and output, the controller operates in local-sense mode - losing Kelvin compensation for PCB IR drop. Voltage accuracy degrades to ±1.5% typical due to trace resistance, and feedback disconnection protection becomes inactive. Remote sense is strongly recommended for CPU VRMs where <1% regulation is required.
