GENERAL
The ADP3166 is a highly efficient, multiphase, synchronous buck switching regulator controller optimized for converting a 12 V main supply into the core supply voltage required by high performance AMD processors. It uses an internal 5-bit DAC to read a voltage identification (VID) code directly from the processor, which is used to set the output voltage between 0.8 V and 1.55 V.
The ADP3166 also uses a multimode PWM architecture to drive the logic-level outputs at a programmable switching frequency that can be optimized for VRM size and efficiency.
The phase relationship of the output signals can be programmed to provide 2-, 3-, or 4-phase operation, allowing for the construction of up to four complementary buck switch ing stages.
The ADP3166 includes programmable no-load offset and slope functions to adjust the output voltage as a function of the load current so that it is always optimally positioned for a system transient.
The ADP3166 also provides accurate and reliable short-circuit protection, adjustable current limiting, and a delayed power good output that accommodates on-the-fly output volt age changes requested by the CPU. ADP3166 is specified over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C and is available in a 28-lead TSSOP package.
