NCP5378
Single Phase Synchronous
Buck Controller with
Integrated Gate Drivers and
Programmable DAC
The NCP5378 is a single chip solution which combines differential
voltage sensing, differential phase current sensing, adaptive voltage
positioning, and on board gate drivers to provide accurately regulated
power for Intel processors. This controller IC maintains the same
features as the multi−phase product family, but reduces the output to a
single−phase, for lower current systems. Low power mode operation
combined with inductor current sensing reduces system cost by
providing the fastest initial response to dynamic load events.
The gate drive adaptive non overlap and power saving operation
circuit can provide a low switching loss and high efficiency solution
for notebook and desktop systems. A high performance operational
error amplifier is provided to simplify compensation of the system.
Dynamic Reference Injection further simplifies loop compensation by
eliminating the need to compromise between closed−loop transient
response and Dynamic VID performance.
