Analog Devices ADP3206
The ADP3206 is a highly efficient multiphase synchronous buck-switching regulator controller optimized for converting the notebook main supply into the core supply voltage required by IMVP-5 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.
