2/3/4-Phase Controller for
CPU Applications
The NCP5393A is a multiphase synchronous buck regulator
controller designed to power the Core and Northbridge of an AMD
microprocessor. The controller has a user configurable two, three, or
four phase regulator for the Core and an independent single phase
regulator to power the microprocessor Northbridge. The NCP5393A
incorporates differential voltage sensing, differential phase current
sensing, optional load−line voltage positioning, and programmable
VDD and VDDNB offsets to provide accurately regulated power
parallel− and serial−VID AMD processors. Dual−edge multiphase
modulation provides the fastest initial response to dynamic load
events. This reduces system cost by requiring less bulk and ceramic
output capacitance to meet transient regulation specifications.
High performance operational error amplifiers are provided to
simplify compensation of the VDD and VDDNB regulators. Dynamic
Reference Injection further simplifies loop compensation by
eliminating the need to compromise between response to load
transients and response to VID code changes.

NCP5393A
Functional Description
General
Gate Driver Outputs and 2/3/4 Phase Operation
NCP5393A is a universal CPU hybrid power Controller
compatible with both Parallel VID interface (PVI) and
Serial VID interface (SVI) protocols for AMD Processors.
The Controller implements a single−phase control
architecture to provide the Northbridge (NB) voltage on the
same chip. For the CORE section, programmable 2− to−4
phase featuring Dual−Edge multiphase architecture is
implemented. It embeds two independent controllers for
CPU CORE and the integrated NB, each one with its set of
protections.
The NCP5393A incorporates differential voltage sensing,
differential phase current sensing, optional load−line
voltage positioning, and programmable VDD and VDDNB
offsets to provide accurately regulated power parallel− and
serial−VID AMD processors. Dual−edge multiphase
modulation provides the fastest initial response to dynamic
load events.
NCP5393A also supports V_FIX mode for board debug
and testing. In this particular configuration the SVI bus is
used as a static bus configuring four operative voltages
(through SVC and SVD) for both the sections and ignoring
any serial−VID command.
NCP5393A is able to detect which kind of CPU is
connected and configures itself to work as a Single−Plane
PVI controller or Dual−Plane SVI controller.
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, G2 and G4 must be grounded.
In 3−phase mode, gate output G4 must be grounded. In
4−phase mode all 4 gate outputs are used as shown in the
4−phase Applications Schematic. The Current Sense inputs
of unused channels should be connected to GND or to VDD.
Please refer to table “PIN CONNECTIONS vs. PHASE
COUNTS” for details.
Differential Current Sense Amplifiers and Summing
Amplifier
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 GND or to
VDD.
The current signals sensed from inductor DCR are fed into
a summing amplifier to have a summed−up output. The
outputs of current sense amplifiers control three functions.
First, the summing current signal of all phases will go
through DROOP amplifier and join the voltage feedback
loop for output voltage positioning. Second, the output
signal from DROOP amplifier also goes to ILIM amplifier
to monitor the output current limit. Finally, the individual
phase current contributes to the current balance of all phases
by offsetting their ramp signals of PWM comparators.
Remote Output Sensing Amplifier (RSA)
A true differential amplifier allows the NCP5393A to
measure Vcore voltage feedback with respect to the Vcore
ground reference point by connecting the Vcore reference point
to VSP, and the Vcore ground reference point to VSN. 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 as the floating ground to allow both
positive and negative error voltages.
Oscillator and Triangle Wave Generator
The controller embeds a programmable precision
dual−Oscillator: one section is used for the CORE and it is
a multiphase programmable oscillator managing equal
phase−shift among all phases and the other section is used
for the NB section. 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 per phase to 1.0 MHz per phase. The
oscillator generates up to 4 symmetrical triangle waveforms
with amplitude 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.
When the NB phase is enabled, in order to ensure that the
VDDNB oscillator does not accidentally lock to the VDD
oscillator, the VDDNB oscillator will free−run at a
frequency which is nominally 1.25 ratio of fVDD.
Precision Programmable DAC
A precision programmable DAC is provided and system
trimmed. This DAC has 0.5% accuracy over the entire
operating temperature range of the part. The NCP5393A is
a Hybrid controller which supports both a six bit parallel
VID interface (PVI) and a seven bit serial VID interface
(SVI). The NCP5393A allows manufacturers to build a
motherboard that will accommodate either parallel or serial
VID processors in the same socket.
High Performance Voltage Error Amplifier
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.

NCP5393A
CPU Support
NCP5393A is able to detect the CPU it is going to supply
and configure itself to PVI or SVI mode. When in PVI mode,
to address the CORE section the NCP5393A uses VID[5:0].
When in SVI mode NCP5393A uses VID2 and VID3 alone
for SVC and SVD information respectively. Whether the
controller is controlled by the serial or parallel interface is
determined by sampling the VID1 line at the time that the
voltage regulator enable line is asserted; if the VID1 line is
high when Enable is asserted, the voltage regulator starts in
PVI mode, otherwise the voltage regulator starts in SVI
mode.

PVI − Parallel Interface
PVI is a 6−bit wide parallel interface to address the CORE
Section reference. NB is kept in HiZ mode. Parallel mode
operation is depicted in Figure 9. Voltage identifications for
the 6bit AMD mode is given in Table 2.
The normal PVI startup sequence for the NCP5393A is as
follows:
• 5 V is applied to the VCCA and VCCB pins to power
the NCP5393A and 12 V is applied to 12VMON.
• The NCP5393A samples the load on the G4 and G2
pins. If these pins are tied to ground the operating mode
will be altered from four phase mode, to three phase, or
two phase operation.
• The system power sequence logic asserts the
NCP5393A ENABLE pin:
DC IN
− The NCP5393A will sample the VID1 line to
determine whether to start in SVI or PVI mode.
PVID mode is determined when VID1 = High.
− The NCP5393A samples the voltage on the PSI_L
pin in order to determine the desired operating
configuration during power saving mode.
− The Boot VID is captured from decoding the
voltages on the VID[0:5].
The NCP5393A VDD regulator will soft−start and ramp
to the initial Boot VID. The VDDNB regulator remains
off (high−Z output).
PWRGOOD is asserted by the NCP5393A.
PWROK is not used in PVID mode.
The NCP5393A will accept new VID codes on the
parallel VID interface (See Table 2).
See Figure 9 for details.

SVI − Serial Interface
SVI is a two wire, Clock and Data, bus that connects a
single master (CPU) to one NCP5393A. The master initiates
and terminates SVI transactions and drives the clock, SVC,
and the data SVD, during a transaction. The slave receives
the SVI transactions and acts accordingly. SVI wire protocol
is based on fast−mode I2C.
PWROK is properitery of the SVI protocol and is
considered at start−up. The SVI mode operation is explained
in Figure 10. The VID codes from the decoded SVI value are
given in Table 3.
The normal SVI startup sequence for the NCP5393A is as
follows:
• 5 V is applied to the VCCA and VCCB pins to power
the NCP5393A and 12 V is applied to 12VMON.
• The NCP5393A samples the load on the G4 and G2
pins. If these pins are tied to ground the operating mode
will be altered from four phase mode, to three phase, or
two phase operation.
• The system power sequence logic asserts the
NCP5393A ENABLE pin:
•
•
•
•
•
− The NCP5393A will sample the VID1 line to
determine whether to start in SVI or PVI mode.
SVID mode is determined when VID1 = Low.
− The NCP5393A samples the voltage on the PSI_L
pin in order to determine the desired operating
configuration during power saving mode.
− The Boot VID is captured from decoding the
voltages on the VID3/SVC and VID2/SVD pins per
Table 1 and stored.
The NCP5393A will start the VDD and VDDNB
regulators. Both regulators will soft start and ramp to
the Boot VID Voltage (See Table 1).
The NCP5393A asserts PWRGOOD.
The system asserts PWROK The system processor will
hold the boot VID voltage for at least 10us after
PWROK signal is asserted
Now the NCP5393A can accept new SVID codes on
the serial VID interface (See Table 3).
If the system should de−assert PWROK, then the
NCP5393A will reset the Core and Northbridge VIDs
and regulate at the Boot VID voltage.

• The system power sequence logic asserts the
Hardware Jumper Override − V_FIX
VFIX is an active low pin and when it is pulled low, the
controller enters V_FIX mode.The voltage regulator can be
powered when an external SVI bus master is not present.
When in VFIX mode, all of the voltage regulator’s output
voltages will be governed by the information shown in
Table 4, regardless of the state of PWROK. VFIX mode is
for debug only. If VFIX mode is necessary for processor
bring−up, VFIXEN, SVC, and SVD should be connected
with jumpers to either ground or VDDIO through suitable
pull−up resistors. SVC and SVD are considered as static
VID and the output voltage will change according to their
status.

The normal VFIXEN startup sequence for the NCP5393A
is as follows:
• 5 V is applied to the VCCA and VCCB pins to power
the NCP5393A and 12 V is applied to 12VMON.
• The NCP5393A samples the load on the G4 and G2
pins. If these pins are tied to ground the operating mode
will be altered from four phase mode, to three phase, or
two phase operation.
NCP5393A ENABLE pin:
− The NCP5393A will sample the VID1 line to
determine whether to start in SVI or PVI mode.
− The NCP5393A samples the voltage on the PSI_L
pin in order to determine the desired operating
configuration during power saving mode.
− The Boot VID is dependent on SVI or PVI mode
startup.
The NCP593A VDD regulator (and VDDNB if in SVID
mode) will soft−start and ramp to the initial Boot VID.
VFIXEN mode is entered once VFIXEN is asserted and
the VDD and VDDNB regulators will regulate to the
VFIXEN VID.
VFIXEN VID is captured from decoding the voltages
on the VID3/SVC and VID2/SVD pins per Table 4.
If VFIXEN is asserted prior to the VID controller
reaching the Boot VID, the VID controller will move to
the VFIXEN VID.
If VFIXEN is de−asserted, the evice PORs. This occurs
independent of ENABLE.
PWROK De−Assertion
Anytime PWROK de−asserts while EN is asserted, the
controller uses the previously stored BOOT VID and
regulates all planes to that level performing an on−the−Fly
transition to that level. PWRGOOD remains asserted in this
process.

NCP5393A
Power Saving Indicator (PSI_L) and Phase Shedding
overcurrent latch is set when the current information
exceeds the voltage at the ILIM pin. The outputs 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.
The NCP5393A handles Core per−phase Over−Current
also. If Over−Current is detected in a phase, then the PWM
of that phase will be turned off. Cycle−by−cycle current
limit protection is implemented for per−phase Over−Current
in the NCP5393A. DRVON never goes low due to
per−phase current trip.
NB Over current is handled in similar way as the global
CORE Over current. The total output current is compared
with Ilimit * 1.0. When Over−current occurs in the NB,
NB−DRVON is pulled low.
An AMD PVID processor provides an output signal to the
NCP5393A controller’s PSI_L input to indicate when the
processor is in a low power state. An AMD SVID processor
indicates PSI_L mode through the SVID protocol. The
NCP5393A uses PSI_L assertion to maximize efficiency at
light loads. When PSI_L is asserted, the PSI_L function will
be enabled, and the NCP5393A will run with a reduced
phase count. The number of phases in PSI_L mode is
determined by the voltage level present on the PSI_L input
upon ENABLE assertion. This detection of phase count
applies for both PVID and SVID AMD processors. In power
saving mode, the NCP5393A works with the NCP5359A
driver to emulate diode conduction mode at light load for
further power saving.
Protection Features:
The NCP5393A handles many protection features.
Undervoltage lockout, Over current shutdown,
Overvoltage, Under voltage, Soft−Start etc are the main
features. All the fault responses of the NCP5393A are listed
in Table 5.
Output Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection and
Power Good Monitor
An output voltage monitor is incorporated. During normal
operation, if the output voltage is 250 mV over the DAC
voltage, the PWRGOOD 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. Every time the OV is triggered it will increment
the OV counter. If the counter reaches a count of 16 then the
OV condition will latch into a permanent OV state. It will
require POR or disable/enable to restart. Prior to latching if
the OV condition goes away then normal operation will
resume. An OV decrement counter is also incorporated. It
consists of a free−running clock which runs at 8x the PWM
frequency. So essentially every 4096 PWM cycles the OV
counter will decrement. For example, for a max PWM
frequency of 1 MHz, the counter decrements roughly every
4 ms and for a PWM frequency of 400 kHz, it would be
about every 10 ms. During normal operation, if the output
voltage falls more than 350 mV below the DAC setting, the
PWRGOOD pin will be set low until the output voltage rises.
Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) senses the VCC and
VCCP 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.
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 VDRP minus offset voltage. The
Soft−Start
The NCP5393A ramps VDD (and VDDNB in SVID
mode) to the Boot VID at a soft−start rate of 0.8 mV/ms
typical. Upon receiving a PVID or SVID code (after
PWROK assertion) the outputs ramp to the final DAC
setting at the Dynamic VID slew rate of 3.25 mV/ms. Typical
soft−start sequence timing is shown in Figure 11.

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.

OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGES
External offset voltages from 0 mv to 800 mV ‘above the DAC’ can be added for the VDD and VDD_NB independently.
Offset is set by a resistor divider from VCC to GND. Output offsets are ratiometric to VCC. As VCC changes, the on−chip scaling
factors change by the same amount:
Offset = 0.8 V x VOFFSET/VCC
For example: For 0 V offset: pin voltage = GND; For 800 mV offset: pin voltage = VCC

The input to the OFFSET pin for the VDD output is encoded by an internal ADC.
The input to the NB_OFFSET pin for the VDDNB output is encoded by the same ADC.
The reference for this ADC is VCC. The ADC’s output is ratiometric to VCC.
Voffset IN represents the voltage applied to the OFFSET or NB_OFFSET pin.
It is intended that these voltages be derived by a resistive divider from Vcc.
The recommended total driving impedance is <10 kilohms.
