Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a
designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of
discrete power devices, wide band gap power devices, power
management ICs, and modules, today announced its new
application-specific EZBuck™ Regulator. The highly integrated,
compact, and high-power-density AOZ23567QI Constant On-Time Buck
Converter offers an upgraded solution that is designed to support
VCCPRIM_VNNAON rails in the Intel Arrow Lake platform.

Intel’s Arrow Lake S Line platform requires VCCPRIM_VNNAON rails
with high currents. These high-current rails are typically
supported by power implementations that require either a controller
with external discrete power FETs or a converter with a large
package. AOS’ AOZ23567QI Constant On-Time Buck Converter delivers a
highly integrated, high-power-density solution that includes all
necessary power silicon in a thermally enhanced QFN 5 x 5 package.
The device is capable of providing 22A continuous and 45A peak
current capability.
Specifically designed to meet the specifications of the Intel
Arrow Lake S Line platforms, the AOZ23567QI features a nominal
fixed voltage of 0.77V, which is supplied in system states of S0
through S5. Intel also requires power regulation capable of remote
sensing to maintain accurate tolerance and account for ground
bounce. AOS’ AOZ23567QI has passed all the validation requirements
through stringent tests to ensure compliance with Intel
specifications. In addition, Intel has approved the AOZ23567QI as a
key component on their PCL (Platform Component List) for
VCCPRIM_VNNAON power architectures.
Helping to increase reliability, the AOZ23567QI also features a
PGOOD output, an integrated bootstrap diode, and an integrated soft
start. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit,
Short-circuit Protection (SCP), Overvoltage Protection (OVP), and
thermal shutdown. In addition, the EZBuck™ Regulator’s LIM pin
allows system designers to adjust current limit levels, enabling
them to balance the power choke to the output, the output's current
capability, and the component size.
Key Features
- Supports Intel Arrow Lake platform remote sensing with a
nominal 0.77V output voltage
- Wide input voltage range: 4.5V to 28V
- High Current Capability: 22A continuous and 45A Peak current
capability to support Intel Iccmax events
- Low RDS(ON) internal NFETs: 5mOhm HS FET, 1.8mOhm LS FET
- Adjustable current limit setting
- Thermally-enhanced 5 x 5 QFN package
“The AOZ23567QI offers designers a feature-rich, high-current
solution for VCCPRIM_VNNAON rails, providing optimal power support
for the Intel Arrow Lake platforms. PCB real estate is at a premium
in today’s ever-shrinking mobile laptop form factors. Utilizing
AOS’ advanced EZBuck™ technology, the AOZ23567QI delivers a highly
integrated yet very compact buck converter that efficiently and
effectively solves the system designer’s continual
space-constrained challenges,” said Wayne Lee, Sr. Marketing
Manager, EZBuck™ Product Line at AOS.
Pricing and Availability
The AOZ23567QI is immediately available in production quantities
with a lead time of 12 weeks. The unit price for 1,000-piece
quantities is $2.70.
