ADP3207C
7-Bit Programmable,
Multi-Phase Mobile, CPU
Synchronous Buck
Controller
The ADP3207C is a high efficiency, multi−phase, synchronous,
buck−switching regulator controller optimized for converting
notebook battery voltage into the core supply voltage required by high
performance Intel processors. The part uses an internal 7−bit
Digital−to−Analog Converter (DAC) to read Voltage Identification
(VID) code directly from the processor that sets the output voltage.
The phase relationship of the output signals can be programmed to
provide 1−, 2−, or 3−phase operation, allowing for the construction of
up to three interleaved buck−switching stages.

MARKING DIAGRAMS
The ADP3207C uses a multi−mode architecture to drive the
logic−level PWM outputs at a programmable switching frequency that
can be optimized depending on the output current requirement. The
part switches between multi−phase and single−phase operation to
maximize its effectiveness under all load conditions. In addition, the
ADP3207C includes a programmable slope function to adjust the
output voltage as a function of the load current. As a result, it is always
best positioned for a system transient.
The chip also provides accurate and reliable short−circuit
protection, adjustable current limiting, and a delayed power−good
output that accommodates On−the−Fly (OTF) output voltage changes
requested by the CPU.
