NCP5230
Precise Low Voltage
Synchronous Buck
Controller with Power
Saving Mode
The NCP5230 is a simple single phase solution with differential
phase current sensing, power saving operation, and gate drivers to
provide accurately regulated power.
The adaptive non overlap gate drive and power saving operation
circuit provide a low switching loss and high efficiency solution for
server, notebook, and desktop systems. A high performance
operational error amplifier is provided to simplify compensation of the
system. The NCP5230 features also include soft−start sequence,
accurate overvoltage and over current protection, UVLO for VCC and
VCCP, and thermal shutdown.

Power Good. It is an open−drain output, set free after SS (with 3x clock delay) as long as the output
voltage monitored through VSEN is within specifications.
Synchronization Pin. The controller synchronizes on the falling edge of a square wave provided to
this pin. Short to GND if not used.
