The ISL6323B dual PWM controller delivers high efficiency and tight regulation from two synchronous buck DC/DC converters. The ISL6323B supports hybrid power control of AMD processors which operate from either a 6-bit parallel VID interface (PVI) or a serial VID interface (SVI). The dual output ISL6323B features a multi-phase controller to support uniplane VDD core voltage and a single phase controller to

power the Northbridge (VDDNB) in SVI mode. Only the multi-phase controller is active in PVI mode to support uniplane VDD only processors.
