ADP3180 Datasheet 6-Bit Programmable 2-/ 3-/ 4-Phase Synchronous Buck Controller

Manufacturer: Analog Devices

Overview: 6-Bit Programmable 2-, 3-, 4-Phase Synchronous Buck Controller.

General Description

The ADP3180 is a highly efficient multiphase synchronous buck switching regulator controller optimized for converting a 12 V main supply into the core supply voltage required by high performance Intel processors.

It uses an internal 6-bit DAC to read a voltage identification (VID) code directly from the processor, which is used to set the output voltage between 0.8375 V and 1.6 V, and uses a multimode PWM architecture to drive the logic level outputs at a programmable switching frequency that can be optimized for VR size and efficiency.

The phase relationship of the output signals can be programmed to provide 2-, 3-, or 4-phase operation, allowing for the construction of up to four complementary buck switching stages.
