Renesas Electronics ISL691x Digital Multiphase Controllers

Renesas Electronics ISL691x Digital Multiphase PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) Controllers provide up to seven phases assignable in any combination across two outputs and combine with smart power stages to provide a scalable solution from 10A to 450A. The result is enhanced power optimization, including more energy-efficient networking and communications infrastructure equipment. With a flexible X+Y assignment along with PMBus and SVI2 interfaces, the ISL691x Multiphase Controllers are ideal for controlling the microprocessor core, memory, and system rails of AMD SVI2-based platforms.

The ISL691x devices use a proprietary digital linear predictive current modulation scheme to achieve the high transient response and ease of tuning while addressing the challenges of powering AMD microprocessors. The configuration is accomplished through the 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 ISL691x multiphase PWM controllers support 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.
