ISL95820EVAL1Z Evaluation Board User Guide
Hardware Description
The ISL95820EVAL1Z evaluation board demonstrates the
performance of the ISL95820 4-phase voltage regulator for
Intel VR12.5 and VR12.6 CPUs. The ISL95820 features
Intersil's Robust Ripple Regulator R3 Technology™. An
on-board dynamic-load generator is included for evaluating the
transient-load response. It applies a 300µs pulse of
approximately 0.05/0.1load across V
CORE
and PGND.
