TWO PHASE SYNCHRONOUS PWM CONTROLLER WITH
INTEGRA TED FET DRIVER AND DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT SENSE
PRELIMINARY DA T A SHEET
DESCRIPTION
The NX2415 is a two-phase PWM controller with integrated FET driver designed for low voltage high current
application. The two phase synchronous buck converter
offers ripple cancelation for both input and output. The
NX2415 uses differential remote sensing using either
current 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 is otherwise is present when
using a single ended voltage sensing. In addition the
NX2415 offers high drive current capability especially for
keeping the synchronous MOSFET off during SW node
transition, accurate programmable droop allowing to reduce number of output capacitors, accurate enable circuit provides programmable start up point for Bus voltage, PGOOD output, programmable switching frequency
and hiccup current limiting circuitry .
Differential inductor DCR sensing eliminates the
problem with layout parasitic
External programmable voltage droop
Low Impedance On-board Drivers
Hiccup current limit
Power Good for power sequencing
Enable Signal allows external shutdown as well as
programming the BUS voltage start up threshold
Programmable frequency
