ISL6353

DATASHEET ISL6353 Multiphase PWM Regulator for VR12 DDR Memory Systems FN6897 Rev 0.00 September 15, 2011 The ISL6353 is a three-phase PWM buck regulator controller for VR12 DDR memory applications. The multi-phase implementation results in better system performance, superior thermal management, lower component cost and smaller PCB area. The ISL6353 has two integrated power MOSFET drivers for implementing a cost effective and space saving power management solution. The PWM modulator of the ISL6353 is based on Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator™ (R3) technology. Compared with the traditional multi-phase buck regulator, the R3 modulator commands variable PWM switching frequency during load transients, achieving faster transient response. R3 also naturally goes into pulse frequency modulation operation in light load conditions to achieve higher light load efficiency. The ISL6353 is designed to be completely compliant with VR12 specifications. The ISL6353 has a serial VID (SVID) bus...
