NCP5386, NCP5386A,NCP5386B 1/2 Phase Controller for CPU and Chipset
Applications
The NCP5386 is a one? or two?phase buck controller which
combines differential voltage and current sensing, and adaptive
voltage positioning to power both AMD and Intel processors and
chipsets. Dual?edge pulse?width modulation (PWM) combined with
inductor current sensing reduces system cost by providing the fastest
initial response to transient load events. Dual?edge multi?phase
modulation reduces total bulk and ceramic output capacitance
required to satisfy transient load?line regulation.
A high performance operational error amplifier is provided, which
allows easy compensation of the system. The proprietary method of
Dynamic Reference Injection (Patented) makes the error amplifier
compensation virtually independent of the system response to VID
changes, eliminating tradeoffs between overshoot and dynamic VID
performance.
