ASUS AM1M-A Motherboard
Voltage Regulator
Contents
The CPU voltage regulator circuit of the ASUS AM1M-A has two phases for the CPU. The voltage regulator is controlled by an ASUS DIGI+ ASP1106 chip, using a digital design. Each phase uses two PSMN1R6-30BL (“6030DLB”) MOSFETs.

The ASUS AM1M-A uses solid electrolytic capacitors with a 5,000-hour life-span, twice the amount presented by regular solid capacitors. All coils on this motherboard are ferrite-core models.
