E-mail: Bill Janssen <janssen@parc.xerox.com>. 6568 is a Single-Chip Microprocessor Core Voltage Regulator Solution for Intel VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) See voltage regulator. 9, VRM10/10.1 and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Athlon, Athlon64 and Opteron Applications Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ISIL ISIL International Society for Individual Liberty ISIL Interim Support Items List ISIL Intelligence Systems Integration Laboratory (Ft. Huachuca, Arizona; US Army facility for integrating intelligence systems) ), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today announced the ISL6568, a two-phase PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) A modulation technique that generates variable-width pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog input signal. Like its fixed-width pulse density modulation (PDM) cousin, the output switching transistor is on more of the time for a control IC that provides a precision voltage regulation system for advanced microprocessors. By reducing the number of external parts, the ISL6568 provides the highest performance at the lowest BOM cost in the smallest PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. area, thus yielding the highest performance-to-price ratio of any Intel and AMD CPU core voltage The CPU core voltage (VCORE) is the power supply voltage supplied to the CPU (which is a digital circuit), GPU, or other device containing a processing core. The amount of power a CPU uses, and thus the amount of heat it dissipates, is the product of this voltage and the regulator available. The integration of power MOSFET drivers into the controller IC marks a departure from the separate PWM controller and driver configuration of previous multiphase product families. A unique feature of the ISL6568 is the use of both DCR DCR Department of Conservation and Recreation DCR Decrease DCR Digital Cable Ready (television) DCR Dark Crisis (Yu-Gi-Oh! cards) DCR Debt Coverage Ratio DCR Dacryocystorhinostomy and rDS(ON) current sensing. Load line voltage positioning (droop) and over-current protection are accomplished through continuous inductor DCR current sensing, while rDS(ON) current sensing is used for accurate channel-current balance. By using both DCR and rDS(ON) current sensing, Intersil offers the power system designer the best of both worlds - accurate current sensing with precise phase-to-phase current balance. The ISL6568 controller IC includes programmable VID codes that greatly simplify the customers' logistics, as the ISL6568 becomes a single-chip solution on Intel Celeron and P4 processors (5xx, 6xx and Extreme Edition), and AMD Athlon XP, Athlon64 2K, 3K, and 4K, and Opteron 100, 200, and 800-series platforms. Intersil's Dynamic VID(R) technology allows seamless on-the-fly voltage changes utilizing the voltage identification (VID) bus. The offset pin allows accurate voltage offset settings that are independent of VID bus setting. Advanced Protection Protection features of this controller IC include a set of sophisticated over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current protection. When an over-voltage situation is sensed the converter turns the lower MOSFETs on to clamp the rising output voltage and protect the microprocessor. The over-current protection level is set through a single external resistor. The ISL6568 also includes protection against an open circuit on the remote sensing inputs. Combined, these features provide advanced protection for the microprocessor and power system. ISL6568 Benefits --Highest performance-to-price ratio --1 or 2-phase operation enables flexible design for a wide range of load current --One chip for advanced Intel and AMD solutions simplifies logistics --Smallest PCB area --Lowest BOM cost --Integrated, 3 A, 5 V - 12 V MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET).
