Product details
Overview
PM6776 from STMicroelectronics is a VR13-compliant 6+1 dual-channel digital multiphase controller for Intel® microprocessor voltage regulation, featuring 25 MHz SVID v1.7 interface, ±0.5% VOUT accuracy with calibration, auto-tuned digital STVCOT™ control loop, and embedded NVM for configuration storage. It delivers high-current, dynamically phase-managed power to VR13 CPU and DDR memory rails.
For engineers reviewing the PM6776 datasheet, PM6776 pinout, PM6776 application, or PM6776 equivalent, key selection criteria include VR13 SVID compliance, 6+1 phase programmability, PMBus™ configurability, AutoDPM efficiency optimization, and VFQFPN48 package compatibility with multi-source footprint requirements.
Technical Context
The PM6776 implements a dual-loop digital control architecture: one channel manages up to six phases for CPU core power, the other handles a single phase for DDR memory rail. It supports VFDE (Voltage-Frequency Dynamic Enhancement) and programmable DPM to maintain optimal efficiency across load transients without sacrificing response time.
Protection functions operate independently per channel: OV/UV detection on VOUT, feedback disconnection monitoring, and calibrated current sensing with autocalibration for both voltage and current sense paths. All parameters-including phase count, voltage positioning, and protection thresholds-are fully configurable via PMBus™.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VR13 dual-channel multiphase controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6381 (Renesas) | 6+1 phase, VR13-compliant, but uses analog-digital hybrid control-not fully digital STVCOT™; no black box recorder. | Lacks embedded NVM and autocalibration-requires external EEPROM and board-level calibration. | Preferred when legacy analog design familiarity outweighs need for full digital configurability. |
| TPS53689 (Texas Instruments) | 6+1 phase, VR13-compliant, supports 25 MHz SVID, but uses D-CAP3™ instead of STVCOT™; no VFDE feature. | No voltage-frequency dynamic enhancement-limits efficiency optimization during burst-mode CPU activity. | Chosen for TI ecosystem integration and existing CSD/DRV driver compatibility. |
Compared with ISL6381 and TPS53689, the PM6776 uniquely combines fully digital STVCOT™ control, VFDE, black box logging, and unified NVM storage-enabling higher transient fidelity, autonomous calibration, and firmware-driven power policy management in next-gen server platforms.

FAQ
What communication interfaces does the PM6776 support?
The PM6776 supports both SVID v1.7 (25 MHz) for Intel processor communication and PMBus™ v1.2 for system management controller interaction. These interfaces operate on shared pins (SVID_CLK/PMB_CLK and SVID_DATA/PMB_DATA) with automatic protocol detection, enabling simultaneous CPU voltage control and telemetry reporting without additional hardware.
Does the PM6776 require external EEPROM for configuration storage?
No. The PM6776 integrates embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) capable of storing multiple user-defined configurations-including phase count, voltage setpoints, protection thresholds, and DPM settings. This eliminates the need for external EEPROM, reduces BOM cost, and ensures configuration persistence across power cycles without boot-time loading delays.
How does AutoDPM improve efficiency in server applications?
AutoDPM dynamically enables or disables active phases based on real-time load current. At light loads (e.g., <20% CPU utilization), it powers down excess phases to reduce gate drive and switching losses, improving efficiency by up to 8% compared to fixed-phase operation-while maintaining full transient response capability through rapid phase reactivation.
Can the PM6776 support DDR5 memory power requirements?
Yes. The PM6776's DDR channel supports VR13-compliant output voltage ranges (0.6–1.5 V), ±0.5% accuracy with calibration, and programmable slew rate control-meeting DDR5 VDDQ specifications for 4800–6400 MT/s operation. Its independent remote sensing and calibrated IMON ensure stable rail behavior under high-speed memory command/address bus switching noise.
