Intel 315889-002 5Processor Voltage Output Protection, 5.1Over-VoltageProtection OVP - EXPECTED

Processor Voltage Output Protection

5Processor Voltage Output Protection

These are features built into the VRM/EVRD to prevent fire, smoke or damage to itself, the processor, or other system components.

5.1Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) - EXPECTED

The OVP circuit monitors the processor core voltage (Vcc) for an over-voltage condition. If the output is more than 200 mV above the VID level, the VRM/EVRD shuts off the output.

5.2Over-Current Protection (OCP) - EXPECTED

The core VRM/EVRD should be capable of withstanding a continuous, abnormally low resistance on the output without damage or over-stress to the unit. Output current under this condition will be limited to no more than 120% of the maximum peak rated output of the voltage regulator at thermal equilibrium under the specified ambient temperature and airflow.
