ICL501-3

The ICL501-3 using IKOR's coupled inductor technology solves the most pressing problem facing IA-32 VRDs and VRMs. This patented technology solves the trade-off between efficiencyand elimination of bulk capacitors by dramatically lowering the VRM output inductance while using industry-standard components and relatively low switching frequencies. This technology of the ICL501-3 provides superior transient response performance to higher frequency solutions due to the unique method of coupling between phases, and enables high-current designs with little or no electrolytic output bypass capacitance. The ICL501-3 coupled inductor can be used in both VRD and module VRM applications. Its small size and low height make it possible to design high-density VRMs and to fit the inductors very close to the CPU socket in VRD applications. This ICL501-3 can also be used in highcurrent System VRM (SVRM) applications where small size, high efficiency, and low total BOM cost is critical.
