TPS51215A: Does TPS51215A support IMVP9?

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,

  • 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,

  • 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
