TPS51215A: Does TPS51215A support IMVP9?

Daisuke Higa

Part Number: TPS51215A

Hi support team.

Is it okay to recognize that the TPS51215A supports IMVP9?
I found an example application for IMVP9 in the datasheet.

If this product supports it, is the answer to the following post incorrect?

Hi Higa,

TPS51215A is for Vccin_aux rail and not a Vcore power solution.

Here in datasheet it mentioned "Intel IMVP9 platform", that can be understood as "Intel platform with IMVP9".

For the Vcore power solution, it's a multiphase controller and multiphase controller belongs to another product line in TI. As I know, TI doesn't have a IMVP9 Vcore power solution currently.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew-san

Thank your for your reply.

I understand.

I have an additional question.

Does TPS51215A support the adjustable DC load line(load line control) as the Intel's optinal featuere for VCCIN_AUX?

Best regards,

Higa

Hi Higa,

Thanks for your question. TPS51215A itself doesn't support DC load line but we have a discrete solution to implement the DC load line with an external operational amplifier combined with TPS51215A. We have made a demo board and completed some validation with it. I think the result is good.

If you are interested in it, you can send email to me (andrew-xiong@ti.com) or Yuchang (yuchang-zhang@ti.com). We can share more information with you.

Thanks,

Andrew
