ISL69147: Digital Dual Output 7-Phase AMD PWM Controller

The ISL69147 is a digital dual output, multiphase PWM controller designed to be compliant with AMD SVI2 specifications. The digital multiphase controller can be configured to support any desired phase assignments up to a maximum of 7 phases across the two outputs (X and Y). For example, 6+1, 5+2, 4+2, 3+3, 3+2, or even a single output operation as a 7+0 configuration are supported. ISL69147, with a flexible X+Y ≤ 7 phase assignment, supports SVI2 interface along with PMBus v1.3 interface, making it ideal for controlling the microprocessor core, memory and system rails per AMD SVI2 based platforms.

The ISL69147 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 AMD microprocessors. Configuration is 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 ISL69147 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 8 configurations, robust fault management and highly accurate regulation capability, implementing a high performance multiphase regulator has never been easier.
