5-Bit VID Single-Phase Voltage Regulator with Current Monitor for IMVP-6+ Santa Rosa GPU Core

The ISL6263B IC is a Single-Phase Synchronous-Buck PWM voltage regulator featuring Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator (R3) Technology™. The ISL6263B is an implementation of the Intel® Mobile Voltage Positioning (IMVP) protocol for GPU Render Engine core power. Integrated current monitor, droop amplifier, MOSFET drivers and bootstrap diode result in smaller implementation area and lower component cost.
