OpenVReg stands for Open Voltage Regulator. OpenVReg is NVIDIA power supply specifications. It is an industrial first attempt to standardize both the package and pinout for low voltage DC-DC switching regulators.

The goal of OpenVReg is to enables packaging and pinout compatibility across multiple sources of similar devices with a single common PCB footprint and layout. OpenVReg defines the basic operation, the minimum set of features, the electrical interface and the mechanical requirements necessary to implement compliant devices.
OpenVReg compliant devices have:
The current OpenVreg development focuses exclusively on DC-DC regulators and controllers. Future version may add definition for other types of devices. The current three OpenVReg regulator types are Type 0, Type 2 and Type2+1.
Type 0
OpenVReg Type 0 is a step down DC-DC converter with integrated power stage.
Type 0 defines three subtypes targeting different applications:
Note: Regulators must be stable with either polymer or MLCC input and output capacitor.
Type 2
OpenVReg Type 2 is a dual phase DC-DC controller. Type 2 defines two subtypes targeting different applications:
Type 2+1
OpenVReg Type 2+1 is a multi-phasePWM buck switching regulator controller with two integrated gate drivers and an external gate driver to provide the third phase PWM signal output. OpenVReg Type 2+1 is programmable for 1-, 2-, or 3-phase operation. Two subtypes are defined targeting different applications:
