REFERENCE
The ADP3193A1 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 Intel processors. It uses an internal 8-bit DAC to read
a voltage identification (VID) code directly from the processor,
which is used to set the output voltage between 0.5 V and 1.6 V.

This device uses a multimode PWM architecture to drive the
logic-level outputs at a programmable switching frequency that
can be optimized for VR size and efficiency. The phase relation-
ship of the output signals can be programmed to provide 2- or
3-phase operation, allowing for the construction of up to three
complementary buck switching stages.
The ADP3193A has a built-in shunt regulator that allows the
part to be connected to the 12 V system supply through a series
resistor.
The ADP3193A is specified over the extended commercial
temperature range of 0°C to 85°C and is available in a
32-lead LFCSP.
The ADP3193A also includes programmable no load offset and
slope functions to adjust the output voltage as a function of the
load current, optimally positioning it for a system transient. The
ADP3193A also provides accurate and reliable short-circuit
protection, adjustable current limiting, and delayed power-good
output that accommodates on-the-fly output voltage changes
requested by the CPU.
