Synchronous CPU Buck Controller for 12 V Only Applications

The CS51312 is a synchronous dual NFET Buck Regulator Controller. It is designed to power the core logic of the latest high performance CPUs and ASICs from a single 12 V input. It uses the V2™ control method to achieve the fastest possible transient response and best overall regulation. It incorporates many additional features required to ensure the proper operation and protection of the CPU and Power system. The CS51312 provides the industry’s most highly integrated solution, minimizing external component count, total solution size, and cost.
