ISL69134: Digital Dual Output, 4-Phase Configurable, IMVP8 PWM Controller

The ISL69134 is a digital dual output, flexible multiphase (X+Y ≤ 4) PWM controller designed to be compliant with Intel IMVP8 specifications. The digital multiphase controller can be configured to support any desired phase assignments up to a maximum of 4 phases across the two outputs (X and Y). For example, 3+1, 2+2, or even a single output operation as a 4+0 configuration are supported. With a flexible X+Y ≤ 4 phase assignment along with PMBus and SVID interfaces, it is ideal for controlling the microprocessor core, memory and system rails of Intel IMVP8 platforms.

The ISL69134 utilizes Intersil’s proprietary digital linear synthetic current modulation scheme to achieve the industry’s best combination of transient response and ease of tuning while addressing the challenges of powering the latest generation of Intel microprocessors. Device configuration and telemetry monitoring are accomplished via Intersil’s intuitive PowerNavigator™ GUI. Diode emulation and automatic phase add/drop features allow the user to extract maximum efficiency from the converter regardless of load conditions.

The ISL69134 supports a comprehensive fault management system to enable the design of highly reliable systems. From an overcurrent protection scheme including peak and average detection, to the configurable power-good and catastrophic fault protection flags, any need is accommodated.

With minimal external components, ability to store eight configurations, robust fault management, and highly accurate regulation capability, implementing a high-performance multiphase, regulator has never been easier.
