IR3536A Overview
The IR3536A and IR3538A are dual-loop digital multi-phase buck controllers. The IR3536A drive up to 6 phases and the IR3538A drives up to 8 phases. The IR3536A and IR3538A are fully Intel® VR12 and AMD® SVI/PVI pliant on both loops and provide a Vtt tracking function for DDR memory.
IR3536A Key Features
