Overview

The Intel® Core i7 power management design is a reference design for Intel IMVP-7 SVID.  A GUI communication program is available along with several test points on the board to evaluate the static and dynamic performance of the CPU's DC/DC controller.  The design features an IMVP-7 3-phase CPU supply,  a 2-phase GPU Vcore supply, a 1.05-VCC IO supply, and a DDR3L/DDR4 memory rail.  To greatly improve power density and thermal performance, 5-mm x 6-mm NEXFET power block MOSFETs are used.

Features

• Design supports a 9 to 20-V input from Vbatt
• Small high-density power solution for ivy bridge
• 3-phase CPU supply supports up to 94 A
• 90% peak (80% full-load) efficiency from 12 Vin to 1.05V out - CPU supply
• Low CPU supply ripple: 25 mV
• Design has been built and tested, and a board is available
