DESCRIPTION
The IR35203 is a dual-loop digital multi-phase
buck controller designed for CPU voltage
regulation, and is fully compliant with Intel®VR12
Rev 1.7, VR12.5 Rev 1.5, IMVP82Rev 1.2
specifications.
The IR35203 includes IR’s Efficiency Shaping
Technology to deliver exceptional efficiency at
minimum cost across the entire load range. IR’s
Dynamic Phase Control adds/drops phases based
upon load current. The IR35203 can be configured
to enter 1 or 2-phase PS1 operation and active
diode emulation mode automatically or by
command.
IR’s unique Adaptive Transient Algorithm (ATA),
based on proprietary non-linear digital PWM
algorithms, minimizes output bulk capacitors.
IR35203 has 127 possible address values for both
the PMBus and I2C bus interfaces. The device
configuration can be easily defined using the IR
PowIRCenter GUI, and is stored in the on-chip
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). This reduces external
components and minimizes the package size.
The IR35203 provides extensive OVP, UVP, OCP,
OTP & CAT_FLT fault protection, and includes
thermistor based temperature sensing or per
phase temperature reporting when using the IR
powIRstage. The controller is designed to work
with either Rdson current sense PowIRstages or
with DCR current sense.
The IR35203 also includes numerous VR design
simplifying and differentiating features, like register
diagnostics, which enable fast time-to-market.
