NCP81243 D

NCP81243
Dual Output 3 & 2 Phase
Controller with Single Intel
Proprietary Interface for
Desktop and Notebook CPU
Applications
The NCP81243 dual output three plus two phase buck solutions are
optimized for Intel®’s IMVP8 CPUs. The NCP81243 offer five PWM
drive signals that can be configured in multiple setups. The 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 both desktop
and notebook applications.
The control system is based on Dual−Edge pulse−width modulation
(PWM) combined with DCR current sensing providing an ultra fast
initial response to dynamic load events and reduced system cost. The
NCP81243 provides the mechanism to shed phases during light load
operation and can auto frequency scale in light load conditions while
maintaining excellent transient performance.
Dual high performance operational error amplifiers are provided to
simplify compensation of the complete system. Patented Dynamic
Reference Injection further simplifies loop compensation by
eliminating the need to compromise between closed−loop transient
response and Dynamic VID performance. Patented Total Current
Summing provides highly accurate current monitoring for droop and
digital current monitoring.

General
Phase Configuration:
The NCP81243 is a dual rail three plus two phase dual
edge modulated multiphase PWM controller, with a single
serial Intel proprietary interface control interface.
The NCP81243 has 5 external PWM signals which can be
configured across the two rail. A resistor to ground on pin10,
is used to configure Phase configuration, Frequency double
on main/Auxiliary rail and SR. Available configuration
options from pin10 are shown below:
Ultrasonic Mode:
The Switching frequency of a rail in DCM will decrease
at very light loads. Ultrasonic Mode forces the switching
frequency to stay above the audible frequency range.

VBOOT and Intel proprietary interface Address Programming
(VBOOT/ADDR) is used to set the address for the main rail,
pin 29 (VBOOTA/ADDRA) is used to address the Auxiliary
rail. On power up a 10 mA current is sourced from these pins
through a resistor connected to this pin and the resulting
voltage is measured. Table 7 shows the resistor values that
should be used and the corresponding Intel proprietary
interface and VBOOT options for each rail.
The NCP81243 has a VBOOT voltage register that can be
externally programmed for both core and Auxiliary boot−up
output voltages. The VBOOT voltage for main and auxiliary
rails can be programmed with a resistor from VBOOT and
VBOOTA pin to GND. In addition to VBOOT level, pin 28
and pin 29 also support Intel proprietary interface bus
address programming. The NCP81243 support multiple
Intel proprietary interface Device Addresses per rail. Pin 28

Remote Sense Amplifier
signal. This signal is then used to generate the output voltage
droop, total current limit, and the output current monitoring
functions. The total current signal is floating with respect to
CSREF. The current signal is the difference between
CSCOMP and CSREF. The Ref(n) resistors sum the signals
from the output side of the inductors to create a low
impedance virtual ground. The amplifier actively filters and
gains up the voltage applied across the inductors to recover
the voltage drop across the inductor series resistance (DCR).
Rth is placed near an inductor to sense the temperature of the
inductor. This allows the filter time constant and gain to be
a function of the Rth NTC resistor and compensate for the
change in the DCR with temperature.
A high performance high input impedance true
differential amplifier is provided to accurately sense the
output voltage of the regulator. 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 to VDIFOUT =
ǒVVSP * VVSNǓ ) ǒ1.3 V * VDACǓ ) ǒVDROOP * VCSREFǓ
This signal then goes through a standard error
compensation network and into the inverting input of the
error amplifier. The non−inverting input of the error
amplifier is connected to the same 1.3 V reference used for
the differential sense amplifier output bias.
High Performance Voltage Error Amplifier
A high performance error amplifier is provided for high
bandwidth transient performance. A standard type III
compensation circuit is normally used to compensate the
system.

Set the gain by adjusting the value of the Rph resistors.
The DC gain should be set to the output voltage droop. If the
voltage from CSCOMP to CSREF is less than 100 mV at
ICCMAX then it is recommend increasing the gain of the
CSCOMP amp. This is required to provide a good current
signal to offset voltage ratio for the ILIMIT pin. When no
droop is needed, the gain of the amplifier should be set to
provide ~100 mV across the current limit programming
resistor at full load. The values of Rcs1 and Rcs2 are set
based on the 100k NTC and the temperature effect of the
inductor and should not need to be changed. The NTC
should be placed near the closest inductor. The output
voltage droop should be set with the droop filter divider.
The pole frequency in the CSCOMP filter should be set
equal to the zero from the output inductor. This allows the
circuit to recover the inductor DCR voltage drop current
signal. Ccs1 and Ccs2 are in parallel to allow for fine tuning
of the time constant using commonly available values. It is
best to fine tune this filter during transient testing.
CSNx

CSPx
Each phase has a low offset differential amplifier to sense
that phase current for current balance. The inputs to the
CSNx and CSPx pins are high impedance inputs. It is
recommended that any external filter resistor RCSN does
not exceed 10 kW to avoid offset issues with leakage current.
It is also recommended that the voltage sense element be no
less than 0.5 kW for accurate current balance. Fine tuning of
this time constant is generally not required. The individual
phase current is summed into the PWM comparator
feedback this way current is balanced via a current mode
control approach.

The loadline is programmed by setting the gain of the
Total Current Sense Amplifier such that the total current

Programming the Current Limit
The current limit thresholds are programmed with a
resistor between the ILIMIT and CSCOMP pins. The
ILIMIT pin mirrors the voltage at the CSREF pin and
mirrors the sink current internally to IOUT (reduced by the
IOUT Current Gain) and the current limit comparators. The
100% current limit trips if the ILIMIT sink current exceeds
10 mA for 50 ms. The 150% current limit trips with minimal
delay if the ILIMIT sink current exceeds 15 mA. Set the
value of the current limit resistor based on the

The IOUT pin sources a current in proportion to the
ILIMIT sink 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 needed.
Programming DAC Feed−Forward Filter
The DAC feed−forward implementation is realized by
having a filter on the VSN pin. Programming Rvsn sets the
gain of the DAC feed−forward and Cvsn provides the time
constant to cancel the time constant of the system per the

A temperature sense input per rail is provided. A precision

voltage on the temperature sense inputs are sampled by the
internal A/D converter. A 100 k NTC similar to the VISHAY
ERT−J1VS104JA should be used. Rcomp1 is optional to the
user, and can be used to slightly change the hysteresis. See

An output loadline is a power supply characteristic
wherein the regulated (DC) output voltage decreases

Programming the Ramp Feed−Forward Circuit
The oscillator generates triangle ramps that are 1.3~2.5 V
in amplitude depending on the VRMP pin voltage to provide
input voltage feed forward compensation. The ramps are
equally spaced out of phase with respect to each other and
the signal phase rail is set half way between phases 1 and 2
of the multi phase rail for minimum input ripple current.
For use with On Semiconductors phase doubler the
NCP81243 offers the user the ability to double the frequency
of each rail independently or simultaneously. This will allow
the rail that is being doubled to maintain a higher system
switching frequency.
The ramp generator circuit provides the ramp used by the
PWM comparators. The ramp generator provides voltage
feed−forward control by varying the ramp magnitude with
respect to the VRMP pin voltage. The VRMP pin also has
a 4V UVLO function. The VRMP UVLO is only active after
the controller is enabled. The VRMP pin is high impedance
input when the controller is disabled.

The noninverting input of the comparator for each phase
is connected to the summed output of the error amplifier
(COMP) and each phase current (IL*DCR*Phase Balance
Gain Factor). The inverting input is connected to the
oscillator ramp voltage with a 1.3 V offset. The operating
input voltage range of the comparators is from 0 V to 3.0 V

During steady state operation, the duty cycle is centered

The PWM outputs are logic−level devices intended for driving fast response external gate drivers such as the NCP81151 and
NCP81161. As each phase is monitored independently, operation approaching 100% duty cycle is possible. In addition, more
than one PWM output can be on at the same time to allow overlapping phases.

Protection Features
When the voltage on the gate driver is insufficient it will pull
DRON low and prevents the controller from being enabled.
The gate driver will hold DRON low for a minimum period
of time to allow the controller to hold off it’s startup
sequence. In this case the PWM is set to the MID state to
begin soft start.
Under Voltage Lockouts
There are several under voltage monitors in the system.
Hysteresis is incorporated within the comparators.
NCP81243 monitors the 5 V VCC supply. The gate driver
monitors both the gate driver VCC and the BST voltage.

main and Auxiliary rail is enabled at this time. A digital
counter steps the DAC up from Zero to the target voltage
level based on the soft start slew rate selected. As the DAC
ramps the PWM outputs for each rail will begin to fire. Each
phase will move out of the MID state when the first PWM
pulse is produced. When the controller is disabled the PWM
signal will return to the MID state. When the controller is
disabled, the PWM signals will return to Mid – level.
Following the rise of Vcc and VRMP above the UVLO
thresholds, externally programmed data is collected. After
the configuration data is collected, the PWMs will be set to
2.0 V MID state to indicate that the drivers should be in
diode mode. When the device is enabled DRON will then be
asserted high to activate the gates, please note that there is
only one Enable pin, once this enable is pulled high both the

Over Current Latch−Off Protection
Input Under–Voltage Lockouts
The NCP81243 compares a programmable current−limit
set point to the voltage from the output of the
current−summing amplifier. The level of current limit is set
with the resistor from the ILIM pin to CSCOMP. The current
through the external resistor connected between ILIM and
CSCOMP is then compared to the internal current limit
current ICL. If the current generated through this resistor into
the ILIM pin (Ilim) exceeds the internal current−limit
threshold current (ICL), an internal latch−off counter starts,
and the controller shuts down if the fault is not removed after
50 ms (shut down immediately for 150% load current) after
which the outputs will remain disabled until the Vcc voltage
or EN is toggled.
The voltage swing of CSCOMP cannot go below ground.
This limits the voltage drop across the DCR through the
current balance circuitry. An inherent per−phase current
limit protects individual phases if one or more phases stop
functioning because of a faulty component. The
over−current limit is programmed by a resistor on the ILIM
pin. The resistor value can be calculated by the following
equations.
Equation related to the NCP81243:
NCP81243 monitors the 5 V VCC supply as well as the
VRMP pin. Hysteresis is incorporated within these
comparators. If either the Vcc or the VRMP UVLO
requirements are not met the VR will fail to startup and the
Intel proprietary interface interface will be unresponsive to
all commands.

Under Voltage Monitor
The output voltage is monitored at the output of each
differential amplifier for UVLO. If the output falls more
than 300 mV below the DAC−DROOP voltage the UVLO
comparator will trip sending the VR_RDY signal low.
Over Voltage Protection
The output voltage for each rail is also monitored for OVP
at the output of the differential amplifier and also at the
CSREF pin. During normal operation, if the output voltage
exceeds the DAC voltage by 400 mV, the VR_RDY flag
goes low, and the output voltage will be ramped down to 0 V,
the ramp to 0 V is controlled to avoid producing negative
output voltage. At the same time, the PWMs of the OVP rail
are sent low. The PWM outputs 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 reaches 0 V, the PWMs will be held low, the high
side gate drivers are all turned off and the low side gate
drivers are all turned on. The part will stay in this mode until
the Vcc voltage or EN is toggled.
