ASUS MAXIMUS VII FORMULA/WATCH DOGS Motherboard
Voltage Regulator
Contents
The CPU voltage regulator circuit of the ASUS MAXIMUS VII FORMULA has eight phases for the CPU. The voltage regulator uses a Digi+ ASP1257 controller chip (digital design), and each phase uses one TI NexFET CSD87350Q5D (“87350D”) chip, that contains the two MOSFETs required for each phase.
