2/3/4 Phase Controller for CPU Applications

NCP5387
2/3/4 Phase Controller for
CPU Applications
The NCP5387 is a two−, three−, or four−phase buck controller
which combines differential voltage and current sensing, and
adaptive voltage positioning to power both AMD and Intel
processors. Dual−edge pulse−width modulation (PWM) combined
with inductor current sensing reduces system cost by providing the
fastest initial response to transient load events. Dual−edge
multi−phase modulation reduces total bulk and ceramic output
capacitance required to satisfy transient load−line regulation.
A high performance operational error amplifier is provided, which
allows easy compensation of the system. The proprietary method of
Dynamic Reference Injection (Patented) makes the error amplifier
compensation virtually independent of the system response to VID
changes, eliminating tradeoffs between overshoot and dynamic VID
performance.

Over−current shutdown threshold. To program the shutdown threshold, connect this pin to the ROSC pin via
a resistor divider as shown in the Applications Schematics. To disable the over−current feature, connect this
pin directly to the ROSC pin. To guarantee correct operation, this pin should only be connected to the voltage
generated by the ROSC pin; do not connect this pin to any externally generated voltages.

VFB
Error amplifier inverting input. Connect a resistor from this pin to DIFFOUT. The value of this resistor and the
amount of current from the droop resistor (RDRP) will set the amount of output voltage droop (AVP) during
load.
20
VDRP
Current signal output for Adaptive Voltage Positioning (AVP). The voltage of this pin above the 1.3 V internal
offset voltage is proportional to the output current. Connect a resistor from this pin to VFB to set the amount
of AVP current into the feedback resistor (RFB) to produce an output voltage droop. Leave this pin open for
no AVP.

VR_RDY
Voltage Regulator Ready (Power Good) output. Open drain output that is high when the output is regulating.
38
NTC
Remote temperature sense connection. Connect an NTC thermistor from this pin to GND and a resistor from
this pin to VREF. As the NTC’s temperature increases, the voltage on this pin will decrease.
39
VR_FAN
Open drain output that will be low impedance when the voltage at the NTC pin is above the specified
threshold. This pin will transition to a high impedance state when the voltage at the NTC pin decreases
below the specified threshold. This pin requires an external pull−up resistor.
40
VR_HOT
Open drain output that will be low impedance when the voltage at the NTC pin is above the specified
threshold. This pin will transition to a high impedance state when the voltage at the NTC pin decreases
below the specified threshold. This pin requires an external pull−up resistor.
41
GND
Pull this pin high to enable controller. Pull this pin low to disable controller. Either an open−collector output
(with a pull−up resistor) or a logic gate (CMOS or totem−pole output) may be used to drive this pin. A
Low−to−High transition on this pin will initiate a soft start. Connect this pin directly to VREF if the Enable
function is not required. 20 MHz filtering at this pin is required.
A capacitor from this pin to ground programs the soft−start time.
A resistance from this pin to ground programs the oscillator frequency. Also, this pin supplies an output
voltage of 2 V which may be used to form a voltage divider to the ILIM pin to set the over−current shutdown
threshold as shown in the Applications Schematics.

Remote Output Sensing Amplifier (RSA)
Differential Current Sense Amplifiers
A true differential amplifier allows the NCP5387 to
measure Vcore voltage feedback with respect to the Vcore
ground reference point by connecting the Vcore reference
point to VS+, and the Vcore ground reference point to VS−.
This configuration keeps ground potential differences
between the local controller ground and the Vcore ground
reference point from affecting regulation of Vcore between
Vcore and Vcore ground reference points. The RSA also
subtracts the DAC (minus VID offset) voltage, thereby
producing an unamplified output error voltage at the
DIFFOUT pin. This output also has a 1.3 V bias voltage to
allow both positive and negative error voltages.
Four differential amplifiers are provided to sense the
output current of each phase. The inputs of each current
sense amplifier must be connected across the current
sensing element of the phase controlled by the
corresponding gate output (G1, G2, G3, or G4). If a phase
is unused, the differential inputs to that phase’s current
sense amplifier must be shorted together and connected
to the output as shown in the 2− and 3−phase Application
Schematics.
A voltage is generated across the current sense element
(such as an inductor or sense resistor) by the current
flowing in that phase. The output of the current sense
amplifiers are used to control three functions. First, the
output controls the adaptive voltage positioning, where the
output voltage is actively controlled according to the
output current. In this function, all of the current sense
outputs are summed so that the total output current is used
for output voltage positioning. Second, the output signal is
fed to the current limit circuit. This again is the summed
current of all phases in operation. Finally, the individual
phase current is connected to the PWM comparator. In this
way current balance is accomplished.
Precision Programmable DAC
A precision programmable DAC is provided. This DAC
has 0.5% accuracy over the entire operating temperature
range of the part. The DAC can be programmed to support
either Intel VR10 or VR11 or AMD K8 specifications. A
program selection pin is provided to accomplish this. This pin
also sets the startup mode of operation. Connect this pin to
1.25 V to select the VR11 DAC table and startup mode.
Connect this pin to ground to select the VR10 DAC table and
the VR11 startup mode. Connect this pin to VREF to select
the AMD DAC table and startup mode.
Oscillator and Triangle Wave Generator
High Performance Voltage Error Amplifier
A programmable precision oscillator is provided. The
oscillator ’s frequency is programmed by the resistance
connected from the ROSC pin to ground. The user will
usually form this resistance from two resistors in order to
create a voltage divider that uses the ROSC output voltage
as the reference for creating the current limit setpoint
voltage. The oscillator frequency range is 100 kHz/phase
to 1.0 MHz/phase. The oscillator generates up to 4 triangle
waveforms (symmetrical rising and falling slopes)
between 1.3 V and 2.3 V. The triangle waves have a phase
delay between them such that for 2−, 3−, and 4−phase
operation the PWM outputs are separated by 180, 120, and
90 angular degrees, respectively.
The error amplifier is designed to provide high slew rate
and bandwidth. Although not required when operating as
the controller of a voltage regulator, a capacitor from
COMP to VFB is required for stable unity gain test
configurations.
Gate Driver Outputs and 2/3/4 Phase Operation
The part can be configured to run in 2−, 3−, or 4−phase
mode. In 2−phase mode, phases 1 and 3 should be used to
drive the external gate drivers as shown in the 2−phase
Applications Schematic. In 3−phase mode, gate output G4
must be grounded as shown in the 3−phase Applications
http://onsemi.com

NCP5387
PWM Comparators with Hysteresis
amplifiers. The overcurrent latch is set when the current
information exceeds the voltage at the ILIM pin. The
outputs are immediately disabled, the VR_RDY and
DRVON pins are pulled low, and the soft−start is pulled
low. The outputs will remain disabled until the VCC voltage
is removed and re−applied, or the ENABLE input is
brought low and then high.
Four PWM comparators receive the error amplifier
output signal at their noninverting input. Each comparator
receives one of the triangle waves offset by 1.3 V at it’s
inverting input. The output of the comparator generates the
PWM outputs G1, G2, G3, and G4.
During steady state operation, the duty cycle will center
on the valley of the triangle waveform, with steady state
duty cycle calculated by Vout/Vin. During a transient event,
both high and low comparator output transitions shift phase
to the points where the error amplifier output intersects the
down and up ramp of the triangle wave.
Overvoltage Protection and Power Good Monitor
An output voltage monitor is incorporated. During
normal operation, if the voltage at the DIFFOUT pin
exceeds 1.5 V, the VR_RDY pin goes low, the DRVON
signal remains high, the PWM outputs are set low. The
outputs will remain disabled until the VCC voltage is
removed and reapplied. During normal operation, if the
output voltage falls more than 350 mV below the DAC
setting, the VR_RDY pin will be set low until the output
rises.
PROTECTION FEATURES
Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) senses the VCC input.
During powerup, the input voltage to the controller is
monitored, and the PWM outputs and the soft−start circuit
are disabled until the input voltage exceeds the threshold
voltage of the UVLO comparator. The UVLO comparator
incorporates hysteresis to avoid chattering, since VCC is
likely to decrease as soon as the converter initiates
soft−start.
Soft−Start
The NCP5387 incorporates an externally programmable
soft−start. The soft−start circuit works by controlling the
ramp−up of the DAC voltage during powerup. The initial
soft−start pin voltage is 0 V. The soft−start circuitry clamps
the DAC input of the Remote Sense Amplifier to the SS pin
voltage until the SS pin voltage exceeds the DAC setting
minus VID offset. Thereafter, the soft−start pin is pulled to
0 V.
There are two possible soft−start modes: AMD and
VR11. AMD mode simply ramps Vcore from 0 V
directly to the DAC setting at the rate set by the capacitor
connected to the SS pin. The VR11 mode ramps Vcore to
1.1 V at the SS capacitor charge rate, pauses at 1.1 V for
170 s, reads the VID pins to determine the DAC setting,
then ramps Vcore to the final DAC setting at the
Dynamic VID slew rate of 6.3 mV/s. Typical AMD and
VR11 soft−start sequences are shown in the following
graphs.
Overcurrent Shutdown
A programmable overcurrent function is incorporated
within the IC. A comparator and latch make up this
function. The inverting input of the comparator is
connected to the ILIM pin. The voltage at this pin sets the
maximum output current the converter can produce. The
ROSC pin provides a convenient and accurate reference
voltage from which a resistor divider can create the
overcurrent setpoint voltage. Although not actually
disabled, tying the ILIM pin directly to the ROSC pin sets
the limit above useful levels – effectively disabling
overcurrent shutdown. The comparator noninverting input
is the summed current information from the current sense

an Intel dynamic load tool (VTT Tool) available through a
third party supplier, Cascade Systems. The web page is
http://www.cascadesystems.net/.
Start by installing the test tool software. It’s best to power
the test tool from a separate ATX power supply. The test
tool should be set to a valid VID code of 0.5 V or above
in−order for the controller to start. Consult the VTT help
manual for more detailed instructions.
Step Load Testing
The VTT tool is used to generate the high di/dt step load.
Select the dynamic loading option in the VTT test tool
software. Set the desired step load size, frequency, duty,
and slew rate. See Figures 28 and 29.
Startup Sequence
1. Make sure the VTT software is installed.
2. Powerup the PC or Laptop do not start the VTT
software.
3. Insert the VTT Test Tool adapter into the socket
and lock it down.
4. Inset the socket saver pin field into the bottom of
the VTT test tool.
5. Carefully line up the tool with the socket in the
board and press tool into the board.
6. Connect the scope probe, or DMM to the voltage
sense lines on the test tool. When using a scope
probe it is best to isolate the scope from the AC
ground. Make the ground connection on the scope
probe as short as possible.
7. Connect the first ATX supply to the VTT tool.
8. Powerup the first ATX supply to the VTT tool.
9. Start the VTT tool software in VR11 mode with
the current limit set to 150 A.
10. Using the VTT tool software, select a VID code
that is 0.5 V or above.
11. Connect the second ATX supply to the demo
board.
12. Set the VID DIP switches. All the VID switches
should be up or open.
13. Set the ENABLE DIP switch down or closed.
14. Set the VR10 DIP switch up or open.
15. Set the VID_SEL switch up or open.

Dynamic VID Testing
The VTT tool provides for VID stepping based on the
Intel Requirements. Select the Dynamic VID option.
Before enabling the test set the lowest VID to 0.5 V or
greater and set the highest VID to a value that is greater than
the lowest VID selection, then enable the test. See Figures
30 through 32.
Design Methodology
Decoupling the VCC Pin on the IC
An RC input filter is required as shown in the VCC pin to
minimize supply noise on the IC. The resistor should be
sized such that it does not generate a large voltage drop
between the 5 V supply and the IC.
Understanding Soft−Start
The controller supports two different startup routines. An
AMD ramp to the initial VID code, or a VR11 Ramp to the
1.1 V VID code, with a pause to capture the VID code then
resume ramping to target value based on an internal slew
rate limit. See Figures 33 and 34. The controller is designed
to regulate to the voltage on the SS pin until it reaches the
internal DAC voltage. The soft−start cap sets the initial
ramp rate using a typical 5.0 A current. The typical value
to use for the soft−start cap (SS) is 0.01 F. This results in
a ramp time to 1.1 V of 2.2 ms based on equation 1.

Programming the Current Limit and the
Oscillator Frequency
The demo board is set for an operating frequency of
approximately 330 kHz. The ROSC pin provides a 2.0 V
reference voltage which is divided down with a resistor
divider and fed into the current limit pin ILIM. Calculate
the total series resistance to set the frequency and then
calculate the individual RLIM1 and RLIM2 values for the
divider.
The series resistors RLIM1 and RLIM2 sink current from
the ILIM pin to ground. This current is internally mirrored
into a capacitor to create an oscillator. The period is
proportional to the resistance and frequency is inversely
proportional to the total resistance. The total resistance
may be estimated by equation 2. This equation is valid for
the individual phase frequency in both three and four phase
mode.

The current limit function is based on the total sensed
current of all phases multiplied by a gain of 6. DCR sensed
inductor current is function of the winding temperature.
The best approach is to set the maximum current limit
based on the expected average maximum temperature of
the inductor windings.

Inductor Selection
When using inductor current sensing it is recommended
that the inductor does not saturate by more than 10% at
maximum load. The inductor also must not go into hard
saturation before current limit trips. The demo board includes
a four phase output filter using the T50−8 core from
Micrometals with 4turns and a DCR target of 0.75 m @
25°C. Smaller DCR values can be used, however, current
sharing accuracy and droop accuracy decrease as DCR
decreases. Use the excel spreadsheet for regulation accuracy
calculations for a specific value of DCR.
The inductors on the demo board have a DCR at 25°C of
0.75 m. Selecting the closest available values of 16.9 k
for RLIM1 and 13.7 k for RLIM2 yield a nominal
operating frequency of 330 kHz and an approximate
current limit of 152 A at 100°C. The total sensed current
can be observed as a scaled voltage at the VDRP pin added
to a positive, no−load offset of approximately 1.3 V.

NCP5387
Inductor Current Sense Compensation
The NCP5387 uses the inductor current sensing method.
This method uses an RC filter to cancel out the inductance
of the inductor and recover the voltage that is the result of
Rsense(T) the current flowing through the inductor’s DCR. This is
done by matching the RC time constant of the current sense
filter to the L/DCR time constant. The first cut approach is
to use a 0.1 F capacitor for C and then solve for R.
L
0.1 · F · DCR25C · (1 0.00393 · (T−25))
(eq. 8)
was 4.42 k which matches the equation for Rsense at
approximately 50C. Because the inductor value is a
function of load and inductor temperature final selection of
R is best done experimentally on the bench by monitoring
the Vdroop pin and performing a step load test on the actual
solution.
Simple Average PSPICE Model
A simple state average model shown in Figure 37 can be
used to determine a stable solution and provide insight into
the control system.

demo board.
bulk capacitors have an ESR of 7.0 m. Thus the bulk ESR
plus the board impedance is 0.7 m + 0.75 m or
1.45 m. The actual output filter impedance does not drop
to 1.0 m until the ceramic breaks in at over 375 kHz. The
controller must provide some loop gain slightly less than
one out to a frequency in excess 300 kHz. At frequencies
below where the bulk capacitance ESR breaks with the
bulk capacitance, the DC−DC converter must have
sufficiently high gain to control the output impedance
completely. Standard Type−3 compensation works well
with the NCP5387. RFB1 should be kept above 50 to
ensure compensator stability.
The goal is to compensate the system such that the
resulting gain generates constant output impedance from
DC up to the frequency where the ceramic takes over
holding the impedance below 1.0 m. See the example of
the locations of the poles and zeros that were set to optimize
the model above.
Compensation and Output Filter Design
The values shown on the demo board are a good place to
start for any similar output filter solution. The dynamic
performance can then be adjusted by swapping out various
individual components.
If the required output filter and switching frequency are
significantly different, it’s best to use the available PSPICE
models to design the compensation and output filter from
scratch.
The design target for this demo board was 1.0 m out to
2.0 MHz. The phase switching frequency is currently set to
330 kHz. It can easily be seen that the board impedance of
0.75 m between the load and the bulk capacitance has a
large effect on the output filter. In this case the ten 560 F

RFB should be set to provide optimal thermal
compensation in conjunction with thermistor RT2, RISO1
and RISO2. With RFB set to 1.0 k, RFB1 is usually set to
100 for maximum phase boost, and the value of RF is
typically set to 4.0 k.

RRDP determines the target output impedance by the
basic equation:

Droop Injection and Thermal Compensation
The VDRP signal is generated by summing the sensed
output currents for each phase and applying a gain of
approximately six. VDRP is externally summed into the
feedback network by the resistor RDRP. This introduces an

RDRP RFB · DCR · 6
Zout
The value of the inductor’s DCR varies with temperature
according to the following equation 11:
DCR(T) DCR25C · (1 0.00393(T−25))
The system can be thermally compensated to cancel this
effect to a great degree by adding an NTC (negative
temperature coefficient resistor) in parallel with RFB to
reduce the droop gain as the temperature increases. The
NTC device is nonlinear. Putting a resistor in series with the
(eq. 11)
NTC helps make the device appear more linear with
temperature. The series resistor is split and inserted on both
sides of the NTC to reduce noise injection into the feedback
loop. The recommended total value for RISO1 plus RISO2
is approximately 1.0 k.
The output impedance varies with inductor temperature by the equation:
Zout(T) RFB · DCR25C · (1 0.00393(T−25)) · 6

By including the NTC RT2 and the series isolation resistors the new equation becomes:

VRHOT and VRFAN
The NCP5387 provides two threshold sensitive
comparators for thermal monitoring. The circuit consists of
two comparators that compare the voltage on the NTC pin
to an internal resistor divider connected to VREF. By
powering the external temperature sense divider with
VREF the tolerance of the VREF voltage is canceled out.
The data sheet specifications for the thresholds are shown
as ratios with respect to VREF.
The following equations can be used to find the
temperature trip points.

DIFFOUT. If the DIFFOUT signal reaches 180 mV above
the nominal 1.3 V offset the OVP will trip. The DIFFOUT
signal is the difference between the output voltage and the
DAC voltage (minus 19 mV if in VR10 or VR11 modes)
plus the 1.3 V internal offset. This results in the OVP
tracking the DAC voltage even during a dynamic change
in the VID setting during operation.
Gate Driver and MOSFET Selection
ON Semiconductor provides the NCP3418B as a
companion gate driver IC. The NCP3418B driver is
optimized to work with a range of MOSFETs commonly
used in CPU applications. The NCP3418B provides special
functionality and is required for the high performance
dynamic VID operation of the part. Contact your local
ON Semiconductor applications engineer for MOSFET
recommendations.

OVP
The overvoltage protection threshold is not adjustable.
OVP protection is enabled as soon as soft−start begins and
is disabled when the part is disabled. When OVP is tripped,
the controller commands all four gate drivers to enable
their low side MOSFETs, and VR_RDY transitions low. In
order to recover from an OVP condition, VCC must fall
below the UVLO threshold. See the state diagram for
further details. The OVP circuit monitors the output of
