DESCRIPTION

The MP2888A is a digital, multi-phase, pulsewidth modulation (PWM) controller with digital

PWM-VID interface compatible with NVIDIA’s

Open VReg specification. The MP2888A can

work with MPS’s Intelli-Phase products to

complete the multi-phase voltage regulator (VR)

solution with minimal external components. The

MP2888A can be configured with up to 10-

phase operation.

The MP2888A provides an on-chip EEPROM to

store and restore device configurations. Device

configurations and fault parameters can be

easily programmed or monitored via the

PMBus/I2C interface. The MP2888A can

monitor and report the output current through

the CS output from the Intelli-Phase products.

The MP2888A is based on a unique, digital,

multi-phase, non-linear control and provides

fast transient response to the load transient with

minimal output capacitors. With only one

power-loop control method for both steady state

and load transient, the power loop

compensation is very easy to configure.

The MP2888A is available in a QFN-40

(5mmx5mm) package.
