Multi-Output Controller with Integrated MOSFET Drivers for AMD SVI Capable Mobile CPUs The ISL6265 is a multi-output controller with embedded gate drivers. A single-phase controller powers the Northbridge (VDDNB) portion of the CPU. The two remaining controller channels can be configured for two-phase or individual single-phase outputs. For uniplane CPU applications, the ISL6265 is configured as a two-phase buck converter. This allows the controller to interleave channels to effectively double the output voltage ripple frequency and thereby reduce output voltage ripple amplitude with fewer components, lower component cost, reduced power dissipation, and smaller area. For dual-plane processors, the ISL6265 can be configured as independent single-phase controllers powering VDD0 and VDD1. The heart of the ISL6265 is the patented R3 Technology™, Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator modulator. Compared with the traditional buck regulator, the R3 Technology™ has a faster transient response. This is due to the R3 modulator commanding variable switching frequency during a load transient.
