Digital Power Design: The New Standard - Asus

MOTHERBOARD INNOVATIONP8P67 Series MotherboardsDual Intelligent Processors 2with DIGI+ VRMThe world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered the use of twoonboard chips - EPU (Energy Processing Unit) and TPU (TurboV Processing Unit).New generation Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM digital power designlaunch control into a new era.DIGI+ VRM + EPU + TPU =ASUS DIGI+ VRM Digital Power Design:The New StandardVRM, or voltage regulator modules, are considered among the most essential motherboarddesign components. They supply the voltage demanded by the CPU, and a good VRMmust intelligently detect actual CPU power draw to provide precise power accordingly.2X Precise Power Controlfor Optimized Performance and EfficiencyMaximize Overclocking PossibilitiesASUS DIGI+ VRM delivers twice the precision power ondemand through diverse settings. Use BIOS tuning or the newand exclusive AI Suite II user interface to increase overclockingrange while performance reaches its full potential.Power Efficiency (%)Extreme efficiency thanksto ASUS DIGI+ VRMExtra Power,Extra Performance!Output Current(A)ASUS DIGI+ VRM Power DesignTypical Analog Power DesignDIGI+ VRM Frequency300K Hz310K Hz320K Hz330K Hz...500K Hz10k Hzper stepPrecise BIOS TuningNever Before!Max Overclocking PossibilitiesMinimize Power Transfer LossASUS DIGI+ VRM intelligently adjusts PWM voltageand frequency modulation to minimize power losswith the best phase switching available to achievegreater power efficiency.ASUS DIGI+ VRM is an innovative, industry-leading technology that fully integrates Intel ®VRD12 specifications on a native level, greatly enhancing power to go far beyond the limitsof analog designs. It features a digital programmable microprocessor onboard, matchingmultiple digital CPU power management (PWM) signals and minimizing power transfer loss.It literally empowers users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimizedperformance, extreme system stability and greater power efficiency.Advantages of ASUS DIGI+ VRM Digital Power DesignUnlike previous VRD versions, Intel ® VRD12 uses digital signals (SVID). To ensure perfect power delivery, ASUS specially designedDIGI+ VRM to sync completely with this new technology.2X Less Radiation for High StabilitySuper Low InterferenceASUS DIGI+ VRM adjusts frequencies dynamically,cutting radiation interference by half and decreasingVcore power noise for CPU to enhance systemstability through enabling VRM spread spectrum.Less Radiation InterferenceDisabledEnabledThe Lower, the Better!Low CPU Vcore power noiseDisabledV=108mVEnabled Spread SpectrumV=98mVThe Less, the Better!• Faster sensing and response: ASUS DIGI+ VRM acts as a digital controller to perfectly match digital power signal (SVID)requests from the CPU, eliminating digital-to-analog conversion lag.• Better cooling: exclusive dual driver and MOSdesign doubles the heat dissipation area withexpanded cooling surfaces for improvedthermal performance. Spacing components outover a wider area speeds up cooling toenhance reliability and stability.• 2X CPU power supply: the same exclusivedual driver and MOS design also provides twicethe CPU power supply with two completepower stages. This results in far greater phaseload tolerances, so the CPU never has to waitfor power to arrive, increasing performance andoverclocking potential.ASUS Exclusive Digital PowerCPUDigital powersignal (SVID)Other Analog DesignCPUDigital powersignal (SVID)EPUFaster sensing& responseAnalogcontrollerSlower signal conversionPEMDriverDriverCOOL!Double heat dissipation for better cooling2X CPU power supplyDriverH MOSL MOSHOT!HMOSLMOSHMOSLMOSClosely-placed hot componentslimit coolingSingle stage designs cause increased power lossChokeChokeChokeDetectsVRM areatemperatureEPUEPU2Adjustsloading forevery single phase3Optimizestemperature& performanceActive Cooling forExtreme DurabilitySuper Cool VRMASUS DIGI+ VRM delivers intelligentpower management to balanceloadings for each power phase bydetecting VRM temperatures to ensurelonger component lifespan and bettercooling.2 | CeBIT 2011 The World’s Best Selling and Most Award Winning Motherboards ASUS - No.1 in Quality and Services www.asus.com 3- The Wall Street Journal Asia
