1.1.2 ASUS DIGI+ VRM
DIGI+POWER CONTROL: Digital Power Design for the APU*
ASUS motherboards using the AMD ® A55 chipset employ precise digital voltage regulation
for the APU, called DIGI+ VRM (Voltage Regulation Modules) digital power design. The APU
voltage is adjusted either through carefully developed automated modes, or by using user-
defined profiles. The result is that DIGI+ VRM technology ensures better energy efficiency
and precise power delivery. Boosted by world-renowned ASUS quality, DIGI+ VRM creates
an ideal computing platform for a diverse range of applications, from gaming to multimedia
or office work and heavy multitasking. Engineered and tested to assure unmitigated
performance, ASUS A55 boards with DIGI+ VRM remain efficient and accurate for reliable
performance in every scenario.
* DIGI+ VRM features are also available in FM2 socket compatible CPUs
