ON NCP81248 Three-rail controller intel proprietary interface Datasheet

NCP81248
Three-Rail Controller with
Intel Proprietary Interface
for IMVP8 CPU Applications
The NCP81248 contains a two−phase, and two single−phase buck
regulator controllers optimized for Intel IMVP8 compatible CPUs.
The two−phase controller combines true differential voltage
sensing, differential inductor DCR current sensing, input voltage
feed−forward, and adaptive voltage positioning to provide accurately
regulated power for IMVP8 CPU.
The two single−phase controllers make use of ON Semiconductor’s
patented high performance RPM operation. RPM control maximizes
transient response while allowing smooth transitions between
discontinuous frequency scaling operation and continuous mode full
power operation. The single−phase rails have a low offset current
monitor amplifier with programmable offset compensation for high
accuracy current monitoring.

Start Up
the gate drivers. A digital counter steps the DAC up from
zero to the target voltage based on the Soft Start Slew Rate
in the spec table. As the DAC ramps, the PWM outputs of
each rail will change from Mid−level to high when the first
PWM pulse for that rail is produced. When the controller is
disabled, the PWM signals return to Mid−level.
Following the rise of VCC above the UVLO threshold,
externally programmed configuration data is collected, and
the PWM outputs are set to Mid−level to prepare the gate
drivers of the power stages for activation. When the
controller is enabled, DRVON is asserted (high) to activate
DRVON

Phase Count, Rail Disabling & PSYS Disabling
Detection Sequence
Also, whether or not the PSYS function is active and
responds to an address call on the Intel proprietary interface
bus is determined by the internal circuitry monitoring the
PSYS input. Tying the PSYS input to VCC will cause the
NCP81248 to not respond to any calls to address 0Dh on the
Intel proprietary interface bus.
During start−up, the number of operational phases of the
2−phase rail, and whether or not each single−phase rail
becomes active and responds to an address call on the Intel
proprietary interface bus, is determined by the internal
circuitry monitoring the CSP inputs. Normally, the 2−phase
rail operates with both phases. If CSP2_2ph is externally
pulled to VCC with a resistor during startup, the two−phase
rail operates as a single−phase rail, and does not use
PWM2_2ph and CSP2_2ph. Likewise, if CSP of either or
both single−phase rails is pulled to VCC during startup, it is
disabled and will not respond to any address calls on the Intel
proprietary interface bus.
Switching Frequency
Switching frequencies between 200 kHz and 1.2 MHz are
programmed at startup with pulldown resistors on pins 14
and 15. The 1a and 2−phase regulators are programmed to
the same switching frequency by the pin 14 resistor, and the
Rail3 or Rail1 (usually the 1b regulator) is programmed by
the pin 15 resistor.

Figure 8. Switching Frequency vs. ROSC Resistance
Input Voltage Feed−Forward (VRAMP pin)
The Rail1/Rail2 oscillator serves as the master clock for
the 2−phase rail ramp generator when configured for
2−phase operation, and as a frequency stabilization clock for
a single phase rail and for the 2−phase rail when it is
configured for single phase operation. The SA/US oscillator
serves as a frequency stabilization clock for the Rail3.
The formulas to calculate the switching frequency and
programming resistances are:
R OSC + 2 * 10 )11 * Frequency −1.192 [ W]
Frequency + 3 * 10 )9 * Frequency −0.838 [Hz]
Ramp generator circuits are provided for both the
dual−edge modulator (only when 2−phases are operating)
and three RPM modulators. The ramp generators implement
input voltage feed−forward control by varying the ramp
slopes proportional to the VRMP pin voltage. The VRMP
pin also has a 4 V UVLO function, which is active only after
the controller is enabled. The VRMP pin is high impedance
input when the controller is disabled.
For 2−phase operation, the dual−edge PWM ramp

Current IMXBIAS2 is sourced from this pin to generate a

Two−Phase Rail Remote Sense Amplifier
A high performance high input impedance true
differential amplifier is provided to accurately sense
regulator output voltage. The VSP and VSN inputs should
be connected to the regulator’s output voltage sense points.
The remote sense amplifier takes the difference of the output
voltage with the DAC voltage and adds the droop voltage.

Programming TSENSE
Two temperature sense inputs are provided – one for the
2−phase rail, and the other for single−phase rail 1a. A
precision current is sourced out the output of the TSENSE
pins to generate a voltage on the temperature sense
networks. The voltages on the temperature sense inputs are
sampled by the internal A/D converter. A 100k NTC similar
to the Murata NCP15WF104E03RC should be used.
Rcomp1 in the following Figure is optional, and can be used
to slightly change the hysteresis. See the specification table

Two−Phase Rail Differential Current Feedback
Amplifiers
Each phase of the two−phase rail has a low offset,
differential amplifier to sense the current of that phase in
order to balance current. The CSREF and CSPx pins are high
impedance inputs, but it is recommended that any external
filter resistor RCSN does not exceed 10 kW to avoid offset
due to leakage current. It is also recommended that the
voltage sense element be no less than 0.5 mW for best
current balance. The external filter RCSN and CCSN time
constant should match the inductor L/DCR time constant,
but fine tuning of this time constant is generally not required.
Phase current signals are summed with the COMP or ramp
signals at their respective PWM comparator inputs in order
to balance phase currents via a current mode control
approach.

Two−Phase Rail Total Current Sense Amplifier

The NCP81248 uses a patented approach to sum the phase
currents into a single, temperature compensated, total
current signal. This signal is then used to generate the output
voltage droop, total current limit, and the output current
monitoring functions. The Rref(n) resistors average the
voltages at the output terminals of the inductors to create a
low impedance reference voltage at CSREF. The Rph
resistors sum currents from the switchnodes to the virtual
CSREF potential created at the CSSUM pin by the amplifier.
The total current signal is the difference between the
CSCOMP and CSREF voltages. The amplifier filters, and
amplifies, the voltage across the inductors in order to extract
only the voltage across the inductor series resistances
(DCR). An NTC thermistor (Rth) in the feedback network
placed near the Phase 1 inductor senses the inductor
temperature, and compensates both the DC gain and the
filter time constant for the change in DCR with temperature.
The Phase 1 inductor is chosen for the thermistor location so

The pole frequency of the CSCOMP filter should be set

Two−Phase Rail Loadline Programming (DROOP)
Two−Phase Rail Programming IOUT
An output loadline is a power supply characteristic
wherein the regulated (DC) output voltage decreases
proportional to load current. This characteristic can reduce
the output capacitance required to maintain output voltage
within limits during load transients faster than those to
which the regulation loop can respond. In the NCP81248, a
loadline is produced by adding a signal proportional to
output load current (VDROOP) to the output voltage feedback
signal – thereby satisfying the voltage regulator at an output
voltage reduced proportional to load current.
The loadline is programmed by setting the gain of the
Total Current Sense Amplifier such that the total current
signal is equal to the desired output voltage droop.
The IOUT pin sources a current proportional to the ILIM
current. The voltage on the IOUT pin is monitored by the
internal A/D converter and should be scaled with an external
resistor to ground such that a load equal to ICCMAX
generates a 2 V signal on IOUT. A pull−up resistor from 5 V
VCC can be used to offset the IOUT signal positive if desired.

Two−Phase Rail Programming DAC Feed−Forward
Filter
The NCP81248 outputs a pulse of current from the VSN
pin upon each increment of the internal DAC following a
DVID UP command. A parallel RC network inserted into
the path from VSN to the output voltage return sense
point, VSS_SENSE, causes these current pulses to
temporarily decrease the voltage between VSP and VSN.
This causes the output voltage during DVID to be regulated
slightly higher, in order to compensate for the response of
the Droop function to current flowing into the charging
output capacitors. In the following equations, Cout is the
total output capacitance of the system.
The current limit thresholds are programmed with a
resistor between the ILIM and CSCOMP pins. The
NCP81248 generates a replica of the CSREF pin voltage at
the ILIM pin, and compares ILIM pin current to ICL0 and
ICLM0. The NCP81248 latches off if ILIM pin current
exceeds ICL0 (ICL1 for PS1, PS2, and PS3) for tOCPDLY, and
latches off immediately if ILIM pin current exceeds ICLM0
(ICLM1 for PS1, PS2 and PS3). Set the value of the current
limit resistor RLIMIT according to the desired current limit
IoutLIMIT.

The noninverting input of each comparator (one for each

the triangle ramp voltage of that phase. The output of the

through filter networks described in the Droop
Compensation and DAC Feedforward Compensation
sections. The remote sense error amplifier outputs a current
proportional to the difference between the VSP, VSN and
DAC voltages:
The main rail PWM pulses are centered on the valley of
the triangle ramp waveforms and both edges of the PWM
signals are modulated. During a transient event, the duty
cycle can increase rapidly as the error amp signal increases
with respect to the ramps, to provide a highly linear and
proportional response to the step load.

Single−phase Rail − Programming the DAC
Feed−Forward Filter
The DAC feed−forward implementation for the
single−phase rail is the same as for the 2−phase rail. The
NCP81248 outputs a pulse of current from the VSN pin upon
each increment of the internal DAC following a DVID UP
command. A parallel RC network inserted into the path from
VSN to the output voltage return sense point, VSS_SENSE,
causes these current pulses to temporarily decrease the
voltage between VSP and VSN. This causes the output
voltage during DVID to be regulated slightly higher, in order
to compensate for the Droop function response to inductor
current flowing into the charging output capacitors. RFFSP
sets the gain of the DAC feed−forward and CFFSP provides
the time constant to cancel the time constant of the system
per the following equations. Cout is the total output
capacitance of the system.
Single−phase Rail Frequency Programming
One of the two single−phase rails has frequency
programmed by the ROSC_COREGT pin, and the other has
frequency programmed by the ROSC_SAUS pin.
ROSC_COREGT always controls the frequency of the
Rail1 and Rail2 unless there are two Rail2. In that case,
ROSC_COREGT controls the frequency of both Rail2, and
ROSC_SAUS controls the frequency of the Rail1.
Single−phase Rail Remote Sense Error Amplifier

transconductance amplifier is provided to accurately sense
the regulator output voltage and provide high bandwidth

inductor, and may need to be adjusted to eliminate output
voltage temperature drift with the final product enclosure
and cooling.. The CSP and CSN pins are high impedance
inputs, but it is recommended that the lowpass filter
resistance not exceed 10 kW in order to avoid offset due to
leakage current. It is also recommended that the voltage
sense element (inductor DCR) be no less than 0.5 mW for
sufficient current accuracy. Recommended values for the
external filter components are:
Each single−phase controller has a low offset, differential
amplifier to sense output inductor current. An external
lowpass filter can be used to superimpose a reconstruction
of the AC inductor current onto the DC current signal sensed
across the inductor. To do this, the lowpass filter time
constant should match the inductor L/DCR time constant by
setting the filter pole frequency equal to the zero of the
output inductor. This makes the filter AC output mimic the
product of AC inductor current and DCR, with the same gain
as the filter DC output. It is best to perform fine tuning of the
filter pole during transient testing.

faster than those to which the regulation loop can respond.
In the NCP81248, a loadline is produced by adding VDROOP
to the output voltage feedback signal – thereby satisfying the
voltage regulator at an output voltage reduced in proportion
to load current. VDROOP is developed across a resistance
between the VSP pin and the output voltage sense point by
forcing current from the VSP pin that is proportional to the
difference between the CSP and CSN voltages.
Single−phase Rail – Loadline Programming (DROOP)
An output loadline is a power supply characteristic
wherein the regulated (DC) output voltage decreases by a
voltage (VDROOP) proportional to load current. This
characteristic can reduce the output capacitance required to

PWM pulse ends when scaled inductor current added to a
compensating reset ramp exceeds the COMP voltage. Both
edges of the PWM signals are modulated. During a transient
event, the duty cycle can increase rapidly as the COMP
voltage increases with respect to the trigger threshold and
reset ramp, to provide a highly linear and proportional
response to the step load.
Resistors to ground on the ICCMAX_1a and
ICCMAX_1b pins program these registers for the single

Disabling a Single−Phase Rail
If the NCP81248 is to provide fewer than three rails, either
or both of the single−phase regulators can be disabled by
pulling up their respective CSP pin to VCC. The two−phase

current mode, if the ILIM pin current exceeds ICL0, an
internal latch−off timer starts. If the fault is not removed, the
controller shuts down when the timer expires. If the current
into the pin exceeds ICLM0, the controller shuts down
immediately. When operating in PS1, PS2, or PS3, the ILIM
pin current limits are ICL1 and ICLM1. To recover from an
OCP fault, the EN pin or VCC voltage must be cycled low.
A programmable total phase current limit is provided that

limit is programmed with a resistor between the CSCOMP

is compared to the ILIM Threshold Currents (ICL0, ICLM0,

If the CSN voltage falls more than VUVM1 below the DAC
voltage, the UVM comparator will trip – sending the
VR_RDY signal low.
A capacitor (CILIMSP) in parallel with the ILIM pin
resistor creates a time delay to give some tolerance for
output currents that momentarily exceed the current limit.
The CILIMSP value given in the equation below will give up
to a 50 ms delay with a 150% overload depending on the load
current prior to overload.
To recover from an OCP fault, the EN pin or VCC voltage
must be cycled low.
Output Over Voltage Protection
The 2−phase output voltage is monitored for OVP at the
output of the differential amplifier and also at the CSREF
pin. The single−phase regulator outputs are monitored for
overvoltage at the VSP & VSN inputs, and also at the CSN
inputs. During normal operation, if an output voltage
exceeds the DAC voltage by VOVP, the VR_RDY flag goes
low, and the DAC voltage of the overvoltage rail will be
slowly ramped down to 0 V to avoid producing a negative
output voltage. At the same time, the PWM outputs of the
overvoltage rail are sent low. The PWM output will pulse to
mid−level during the DAC ramp down period if the output
decreases below the DAC + OVP Threshold as DAC
decreases. When the DAC gets to zero, the PWMs will be
held low, and the NCP81248 will stay in this mode until the
VCC voltage or EN is toggled.
Input Under−voltage Lockouts (UVLO)
NCP81248 monitors the 5 V VCC supply as well as the
VRMP pin voltage. Hysteresis is incorporated within these
monitors.
Output Under Voltage Monitor
The 2−phase rail output voltage is monitored for
undervoltage at the output of the differential amplifier. If the
2−phase rail output falls more than VUVM2 below the
DAC−DROOP voltage, the UVM comparator will trip –
sending the VR_RDY signal low.The single−phase rail
outputs are monitored for undervoltage at the CSN inputs.
