Precision Multi-Phase Buck PWM Controller for Intel, Mobile Voltage Positioning IMVP-IV™ and IMVP-IV+™
●The ISL6217A Multi-Phase Buck PWM controller IC, with integrated half bridge gate drivers, provides a precision voltage regulation system for advanced Pentium IV microprocessors in notebook computers. Two-phase operation eases the thermal management issues and load demand of Intel’s latest high performance processors. This control IC also features both input voltage feed-forward and average current mode control for excellent dynamic response, “Loss-less” current sensing using MOSFET rDS(ON) and user-selectable switching frequencies from 250kHz to 1MHz per phase.
