NCP5393B
2/3/4-Phase Controller for
CPU Applications
The NCP5393B is a multiphase synchronous buck regulator
controller designed to power the Core and Northbridge of an AMD
microprocessor. The controller has a user configurable two, three, or
four phase regulator for the Core and an independent single phase
regulator to power the microprocessor Northbridge. The NCP5393B
incorporates differential voltage sensing, differential phase current
sensing, optional load−line voltage positioning, and programmable
V
DD
and V
DDNB
offsets to provide accurately regulated power
parallel− and serial−VID AMD processors. Dual−edge multiphase
modulation provides the fastest initial response to dynamic load
events. This reduces system cost by requiring less bulk and ceramic
output capacitance to meet transient regulation specifications.
High performance operational error amplifiers are provided to
simplify compensation of the V
DD
and V
DDNB
regulators. Dynamic
Reference Injection further simplifies loop compensation by
eliminating the need to compromise between response to load
transients and response to VID code changes.

Description
5 V supply pin for the NCP5393B. The V
CC
bypassing capacitance must be connected between this
pin and GND (preferably returned to the package flag).
Small−signal power supply return. This pin should be tied directly to the package flag (exposed pad).
Output of the voltage error amplifier for the V
DD
regulator.
Voltage error amplifier inverting input for the V
DD
regulator.
Voltage output signal proportional to total current drawn from the V
DD
regulator. Used when load line
operation (“droop”) is desired.
Non−inverting input to the differential remote sense amplifier for the V
DD
regulator.
Inverting input to the differential remote sense amplifier for the V
DD
regulator.
Input for offset voltage to be added to the V
DD
DAC’s output voltage. Ground this pin for zero V
DD

Output of the differential remote sense amplifier for the V
DD
regulator.
When pulled low, this pin causes the levels on the SVC (VID3) and SVD (VID2) pins to be decoded
as a two−bit DAC code, which controls the V
DD
