2/3/4-Phase Controller for
CPU Applications
The NCP6251 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 NCP6251
incorporates differential voltage sensing, differential phase current
sensing, optional load−line voltage positioning, and programmable

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.

Reference Injection further simplifies loop compensation by
eliminating the need to compromise between response to load
