2-4 PHASE SELECT ABLE VRD10.X CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The NX2511 is a multiphase PWM controller with the
ability to operate in 2,3 or 4 phase control operation.
This device with external FET drivers such as NX3202 ,
NX3203 or NX3212 is designed to provide a high performance high current multiphase converter that meets
the VRD10.0 specification.The NX251 1 uses differential
remote sensing using either current sense resistor or
inductor DCR sensing to achieve accurate current matching between the three channels. Differential sensing eliminates the error caused by PCB board trace resistance
that is otherwise present when using a single ended voltage sensing. In addition the NX2511 offers complete
VRD10 signal interface using 6 bit DAC with on the fly
DAC change, 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 .
