ADP3188JRUZ-REEL

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The ADP3188JRUZ-REEL is a specialized power management integrated circuit (PMIC) designed for Intel processor applications. It functions as a 6-bit programmable synchronous buck controller supporting 2, 3, or 4-phase configurations. The device features a maximum switching frequency of 4000 kHz and provides four independent outputs. Packaged in a 28-TSSOP case with a width of 0.173 inches (4.40 mm), it supports surface mount installation. The output voltage is programmable, allowing for precise regulation required by modern computing platforms.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Supports 2-, 3-, or 4-phase synchronous buck control architectures
• Features 6-bit programmability for precise voltage adjustment
• Designed specifically for Intel processor voltage regulation requirements

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Intel processor voltage regulation modules (VRM9/VRM10)
• Multi-phase synchronous buck converter designs
• High-performance computing platform power supplies

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix REEL indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the 28-TSSOP package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with Intel VRM specifications if used in legacy designs. Check for RoHS compliance status on current manufacturing lots. Validate that the programmable output range meets your target load line requirements.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when designing multi-phase controllers for Intel processors requiring high-frequency operation up to 4 MHz. The 6-bit resolution offers sufficient granularity for most core voltage applications. Consider the 4-output capability if multiple rails are needed from a single controller. Evaluate thermal performance within the TSSOP package for your specific power density needs.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to Analog Devices' family of special purpose regulators tailored for CPU power delivery. It complements other VRM controllers by offering flexible phase count options. The JRUZ variant denotes the specific package and temperature grade suitable for industrial and commercial computing environments.

Special Purpose Regulators Replacement Considerations

ADP3186JRUZ-REEL is a related controller but may differ in phase support or frequency characteristics. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution. Consult official cross-reference guides for validated alternatives.
