PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n Differential inductor DCR sensing eliminates the
problem with layout parasitic
n 5V bias regulator available
The NX2423 is a two-phase PWM controller with inte-
grated FET driver designed for low voltage high current
application. The two phase synchronous buck converter
offers ripple cancelation for both input and output. The
NX2423 uses differential remote sensing using either cur-
rent sense resistor or inductor DCR sensing to achieve
accurate current matching between the two channels.
Differential sensing eliminates the error caused by PCB
board trace resistance that otherwise presents when us-
ing a single ended voltage sensing.
n Low Impedance On-board Drivers
n Hiccup current limit and IOUT indication
n Power Good for power sequencing
n EN2_B pin allows the slave channel on and off while
the master channel is working
n Programmable frequency
n Prebias start up
n OVP without negative spike at output
n Selectable between internal and external reference
n Internal Schottky diode from PVCC to BST
In addition the NX2423 offers high drive current capabil-
ity especially for keeping the synchronous MOSFET off
during SW node transition, can provide regulated 5V to
IC biasing and drivers via 5V bias regulator, allows the
slave channel on and off via EN2_B pin while the main
channel is working. Other features: PGOOD output, pro-
grammable switching frequency and hiccup current lim-
iting circuitry.
