Description

The NCP81610 is a multiphase synchronous controller optimized

for new generation computing and graphics processors. The device is

capable of driving up to 8 phases and incorporates differential voltage

and phase current sensing, adaptive voltage positioning and

PWM_VID interface to provide and accurately regulated power for

computer or graphic controllers. The integrated power saving

interface (PSI) allows for the processors to set the controller in one of

three modes, i.e. all phases on, dynamic phases shedding or fixed low

phase count mode, to obtain high efficiency in light−load conditions.

The dual edge PWM multiphase architecture ensures fast transient

response and good dynamic current balance.
