NCP4208
VR11.1 Programmable
8-Phase Synchronous Buck
Converter with PMBus
The NCP4208 is an integrated power control IC with a PMBus
interface. The NCP4208 is a highly efficient, multiphase, synchronous
buck switching regulator controller, which aids design of High
Efficiency and High Density solutions. The NCP4208 can be
programmed for 1−, 2−, 3−, 4−, 5−, 6−, 7− or 8−phase operation,
allowing for the construction of up to 8 complementary buck switching
stages.

QFN 48
CASE 485AJ
The NCP4208 supports PSI, which is a power state indicator and
can be used to reduce the number of operating phases at light loads.
The PMBus interface enables digital programming of key system
parameters to optimize system performance and provide feedback to
the system.

MARKING DIAGRAM
The NCP4208 has a built in shunt regulator that allows the part to be
powered from the +12 V system supply through a series resistor. The
NCP4208 is specified over the extended commercial temperature
range of 0°C to +85°C and is available in a 48 Lead QFN package.
