Four/Five/Six−Phase  
Buck CPU Controller  
The NCP5316 provides full−featured and flexible control for the  
latest high−performance CPUs. The IC can be programmed as a four−,  
five− or six−phase buck controller, and the per−phase switching  
frequency can be as high as 1.0 MHz. Combined with external gate  
drivers and power components, the controller implements a compact,

Enhanced V  
control inherently compensates for variations in  
48  
both line and load, and achieves current sharing between phases. This  
control scheme provides fast transient response, reducing the need for  
large banks of output capacitors and higher switching frequency.  
The controller meets VR(M)10.x specifications with all the required  
functions and protection features.

NCP5316  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Overview  
The NCP5316 controller uses six−phase, fixed−frequency,  
Enhanced V architecture to measure and control currents in  
2
The NCP5316 DC/DC controller from ON Semiconductor  
2
was developed using the Enhanced V topology. Enhanced  
individual phases. In six−phase mode, each phase is delayed  
60° from the previous phase. Normally, GATEx transitions  
to a high voltage at the beginning of each oscillator cycle.  
Inductor current ramps up until the combination of the  
current sense signal, the internal ramp and the output voltage  
ripple trip the PWM comparator and bring GATEx low.  
Once GATEx goes low, it will remain low until the  
beginning of the next oscillator cycle. While GATEx is high,  
2

V
combines the original V topology with peak  
current−mode control for fast transient response and current  
sensing capability. The addition of an internal PWM ramp  
and implementation of fast−feedback directly from Vcore  
has improved transient response and simplified design. This  
controller can be adjusted to operate as a four−, five− or  
six−phase controller, and can also be used in a one−, two− or  
three−phase system. Differential current sensing provides  
improved current sharing and easier layout. The NCP5316  
includes Power Good (PWRGD), providing a highly  
integrated solution to simplify design, minimize circuit  
board area, and reduce overall system cost.  
Two advantages of a multi−phase converter over a  
single−phase converter are current sharing and increased  
effective output frequency. Current sharing allows the designer  
to use less inductance in each phase than would be required in  
a single−phase converter. The smaller inductor will produce  
larger ripple currents but the total per−phase power dissipation  
is reduced because the RMS current is lower. Transient  
response is improved because the control loop will measure  
and adjust the current faster in a smaller output inductor.  
Increased apparent output frequency is desirable because the  
off− time and the ripple voltage of the multi−phase converter  
will be less than that of a single−phase converter.  
2
the Enhanced V loop will respond to line and load  
variations. On the other hand, once GATEx is low, the loop  
cannot respond until the beginning of the next PWM cycle.  
2
Therefore, constant frequency Enhanced V will typically  
respond to disturbances within the off−time of the converter.  
2
The Enhanced V architecture measures and adjusts the  
output current in each phase. An additional differential input  
(CSxN and CSxP) for inductor current information has been  
2
added to the V loop for each phase as shown in Figure 17.  
The triangular inductor current is measured differentially  
across RS, amplified by CSA and summed with the channel  
startup offset, the internal ramp and the output voltage at the  
non−inverting input of the PWM comparator. The purpose  
of the internal ramp is to compensate for propagation delays  
in the NCP5316. This provides greater design flexibility by  
allowing smaller external ramps, lower minimum pulse  
widths, higher frequency operation and PWM duty cycles  
above 50% without external slope compensation. As the  
sum of the inductor current and the internal ramp increase,  
the voltage on the positive pin of the PWM comparator rises  
and terminates the PWM cycle. If the inductor starts a cycle  
with higher current, the PWM cycle will terminate earlier  
providing negative feedback. The NCP5316 provides a  
differential current sense input (CSxN and CSxP) for each  
phase. Current sharing is accomplished by referencing all  
phases to the same COMP pin, so that a phase with a larger  
current signal will turn off earlier than a phase with a smaller  
current signal.  
Fixed Frequency Multi−Phase Control  
In a multi−phase converter, multiple converters are  
connected in parallel and are switched on at different times.  
This reduces output current from the individual converters  
and increases the apparent ripple frequency. Because several  
converters are connected in parallel, output current can ramp  
up or down faster than a single converter (with the same  
value output inductor) and heat is spread among multiple  
components.

employing both “slow” and “fast” voltage regulation. The  
internal error amplifier performs the slow regulation.  
Depending on the gain and frequency compensation set by  
the amplifier’s external components, the error amplifier will  
typically begin to ramp its output to react to changes in the  
output voltage in one or two PWM cycles. Fast voltage  
feedback is implemented by a direct connection from Vcore  
to the non−inverting pin of the PWM comparator via the  
summation with the inductor current, internal ramp and  
offset. A rapid increase in output current will produce a  
negative offset at Vcore and at the output of the summer.  
This will cause the PWM duty cycle to increase almost  
instantly. Fast feedback will typically adjust the PWM duty  
cycle in one PWM cycle.  
As shown in Figure 17, an internal ramp (100 mV at a 50%  
duty cycle) is added to the inductor current ramp at the  
positive terminal of the PWM comparator. This additional  
ramp compensates for propagation time delays from the  
current sense amplifier (CSA), the PWM comparator and  
the MOSFET gate drivers. As a result, the minimum ON  
time of the controller is reduced and lower duty−cycles may  
be achieved at higher frequencies. Also, the additional ramp  
reduces the reliance on the inductor current ramp and allows  
greater flexibility when choosing the output inductor and the  
changes, the COMP pin must move to keep the same output  
voltage. The required change in the output voltage or COMP  
pin depends on the scaling of the current feedback signal and

Figure 18 shows the step response of the COMP pin at a

steady−state operation. The inductor current provides a  
portion of the PWM ramp through the current sense  
amplifier. The PWM cycle ends when the sum of the current  
ramp, the “partial” internal ramp voltage signal and offset  
exceed the level of the COMP pin. At T1, the output current  
increases and the output voltage sags. The next PWM cycle  
begins and the cycle continues longer than previously while

Figure 19. Enhanced V2 Control Employing Lossless Inductive Current Sensing and Internal Ramp  
Inductive Current Sensing  
For lossless sensing, current can be measured across the  
inductor as shown in Figure 19. In the diagram, L is the  
Current Sense Amplifier (CSA) input mismatch and the  
value of the current sense component will determine the  
accuracy of the current sharing between phases. The worst  
case CSA input mismatch is ±10 mV and will typically be  
within 4.0 mV. The difference in peak currents between  
phases will be the CSA input mismatch divided by the  
current sense resistance. If all current sense components are  
of equal resistance, a 3.0 mV mismatch with a 2.0 mW sense  
resistance will produce a 1.5 A difference in current between  
phases.

When choosing or designing inductors for use with  
inductive sensing, tolerances and temperature effects should  
be considered. Cores with a low permeability material or a  
large gap will usually have minimal inductance change with  
temperature and load. Copper magnet wire has a  
temperature coefficient of 0.39% per °C. The increase in  
winding resistance at higher temperatures should be  
considered when setting the threshold. If a more accurate  
current sense is required than inductive sensing can provide,  
current can be sensed through a resistor as shown in  
Figure 17.

Printed circuit board (PCB) traces that carry inductor  
current can be used as part of the current sense resistance  
depending on where the current sense signal is picked off.  
For accurate current sharing, the current sense inputs should  
sense the current at relatively the same points for each phase.  
In some cases, especially with inductive sensing, resistance  
of the PCB can be useful for increasing the current sense  
resistance. The total current sense resistance used for  
calculations must include any PCB trace resistance that

positioning and current limit. During a positive current  
transient, the COMP pin will be required to undershoot in  
response to the current signal in order to maintain the output  
voltage. Similarly, the V  
signal will overshoot which

will produce too much transient droop in the output voltage.

Transient Response and Adaptive Voltage Positioning  
impedance, and by the ESR and ESL of the output filter. The  
transition between fast and slow positioning is controlled by  
the total ramp size and the error amp compensation. If the  
ramp size is too large or the error amp too slow, there will be  
a long transition to the final voltage after a transient. This  
will be most apparent with low capacitance output filters.  
For applications with fast transient currents, the output  
filter is frequently sized larger than ripple currents require in  
order to reduce voltage excursions during load transients.  
Adaptive voltage positioning can reduce peak−peak output  
voltage deviations during load transients and allow for a  
smaller output filter. The output voltage can be set higher  
than nominal at light loads to reduce output voltage sag  
when the load current is applied. Similarly, the output  
voltage can be set lower than nominal during heavy loads to  
reduce overshoot when the load current is removed. For low  
current applications, a droop resistor can provide fast,  
accurate adaptive positioning. However, at high currents,  
the loss in a droop resistor becomes excessive. For example,  
a 50 A converter with a 1 mW resistor would provide a 50  
mV change in output voltage between no load and full load  
and would dissipate 2.5 W.

Limits  
Figure 20. Adaptive Voltage Positioning  
Lossless adaptive voltage positioning (AVP) is an  
alternative to using a droop resistor, but it must respond to  
changes in load current. Figure 20 shows how AVP works.  
The waveform labeled “normal” shows a converter without  
AVP. On the left, the output voltage sags when the output  
current is stepped up and later overshoots when current is  
stepped back down. With fast (ideal) AVP, the peak−to−peak  
excursions are cut in half. In the slow AVP waveform, the  
output voltage is not repositioned quickly enough after  
current is stepped up and the upper limit is exceeded.  
The controller can be configured to adjust the output  
voltage based on the output current of the converter. (Refer to  
the application diagram in Figure 2). The no−load positioning  
is now set internally to VID − 20 mV, reducing the potential  
error due to resistor and bias current mismatches.  
Overvoltage Protection  
Overvoltage protection (OVP) is provided as a result of  
the normal operation of the Enhanced V control topology  
with synchronous rectifiers. The control loop responds to an  
overvoltage condition within 40 ns, causing the GATEx  
output to shut off. The (external) MOSFET driver should  
react normally to turn off the top MOSFET and turn on the  
bottom MOSFET. This results in a “crowbar” action to  
clamp the output voltage and prevent damage to the load.  
The regulator will remain in this state until the fault latch is

Fault Protection Logic  
The NCP5316 includes fault protection circuitry to  
prevent harmful modes of operation from occurring. The  
fault logic is described in Table 1.  
Gate Outputs  
The NCP5316 is designed to operate with external gate  
drivers. Accordingly, the gate outputs are capable of driving  
a 100 pF load with typical rise and fall times of 5 ns.  
Undervoltage Lockout  
The NCP5316 includes an undervoltage lockout circuit.  
This circuit keeps the IC’s output drivers low until V  
CC  
applied to the IC reaches 9 V. The GATE outputs are disabled  
Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)  
when V drops below 8 V.  
The output voltage of the NCP5316 is set by means of a  
6−bit, 0.5% DAC. The VID pins must be pulled high  
externally. A 1 kW pullup to a maximum of 3.3 V is  
recommended to meet Intel specifications. To ensure valid  
logic signals, the designer should ensure at least 800 mV will  
be present at the IC for a logic high.  
The output of the DAC is described in the Electrical  
Characteristics section of the data sheet. These outputs are  
consistent with VR 10.x and processor specifications. The  
DAC output is equal to the VID code specification minus  
20 mV.  
The latest VR and processor specifications require a  
power supply to turn its output off in the event of a 11111X  
VID code. When the DAC sees such a code, the GATE pins  
stop switching and go low. This condition is described in  
Table 1.  
CC  
Soft Start  
At initial power−up, both SS and COMP voltages are zero.  
The total SS capacitance will begin to charge with a current  
of 40 m A. The error amplifier directly charges the COMP  
capacitance. An internal clamp ensures that the COMP pin  
voltage will always be less than the voltage at the SS pin,  
ensuring proper start−up behavior. All GATE outputs are  
held low until the COMP voltage reaches 0.6 V. Once this  
threshold is reached, the GATE outputs are released to  
operate normally.

Adjusting the Number of Phases  
2. Output Capacitor Selection  
The NCP5316 was designed with a selectable−phase  
architecture. Designers may choose any number of phases  
up to six. The phase delay is automatically adjusted to match  
the number of phases that will be used. This feature allows  
the designer to select the number of phases required for a  
particular application.  
Six−phase operation is standard. All phases switch with a  
60 degree delay between pulses. No special connections are  
required.  
The output capacitors filter the current from the output  
inductor and provide a low impedance for transient load  
current changes. Typically, microprocessor applications  
require both bulk (electrolytic, tantalum) and low  
impedance, high frequency (ceramic) types of capacitors.  
The bulk capacitors provide “hold up” during transient  
loading. The low impedance capacitors reduce steady−state  
ripple and bypass the bulk capacitance when the output  
current changes very quickly. The microprocessor  
manufacturers usually specify a minimum number of  
ceramic capacitors. The designer must determine the  
number of bulk capacitors.  
Five−phase operation is achieved by disabling either  
phase 3 or phase 6. Tie together CS3N and CS3P or CS6N  
and CS6P, and then pull both pins to V . The remaining  
CC  
phases will continue to switch, but now there will be a 72  
degree delay between pulses. The phase firing order will  
become 1−2−3−4−5 or 1−2−4−5−6, depending on which  
phase was disabled.  
Choose the number of bulk output capacitors to meet the  
peak transient requirements. The formula below can be used  
to provide a starting point for the minimum number of bulk  
capacitors (N  
):

to V . This will result in a 90 degree phase delay, and a

In reality, both the ESR and ESL of the bulk capacitors  
determine the voltage change during a load transient  
according to:  
Three−phase operation may be realized as well. First, the  
designer must choose the proper phases. For example, for  
three−phase operation, phases 2, 4 and 6 must be selected.  
Second, the current sense inputs should be pulled to a  
defined voltage ground. Simply tie all the current sense  
inputs of the unused phases together and connect them to  
ground.

Unfortunately, capacitor manufacturers do not specify the  
ESL of their components and the inductance added by the  
PCB traces is highly dependent on the layout and routing.  
Therefore, it is necessary to start a design with slightly more  
than the minimum number of bulk capacitors and perform  
transient testing or careful modeling/simulation to  
determine the final number of bulk capacitors.

The maximum inductor value is limited by the transient

transient response, the inductor should be made as small as  
possible. If the inductor is too large its current will change

difficult to meet DVID timing specifications; too much ESR  
will complicate the transient solution. The Sanyo  
4SEPC560 and Panasonic EEU−FL provide a good balance  
of capacitance vs. ESR.

3. Output Inductor Selection  
For decreasing current:  
The output inductor may be the most critical component  
in the converter because it will directly effect the choice of  
other components and dictate both the steady−state and  
transient performance of the converter. When selecting an  
inductor, the designer must consider factors such as DC  
current, peak current, output voltage ripple, core material,  
magnetic saturation, temperature, physical size and cost  
(usually the primary concern).

For typical processor applications with output voltages  
less than half the input voltage, the current will be increased  
much more quickly than it can be decreased. Thus, it may be  
more difficult for the converter to stay within the regulation  
limits when the load is removed than when it is applied and  
excessive overshoot may result.  
In general, the output inductance value should be  
electrically and physically as small as possible to provide the  
best transient response at minimum cost. If a large  
inductance value is used, the converter will not respond  
quickly to rapid changes in the load current. On the other  
hand, too low an inductance value will result in very large  
ripple currents in the power components (MOSFETs,  
capacitors, etc.) resulting in increased dissipation and lower  
converter efficiency. Increased ripple currents force the  
designer to use higher rated MOSFETs, oversize the thermal  
solution, and use more, higher rated input and output  
capacitors, adversely affecting converter cost.  
One method of calculating an output inductor value is to  
size the inductor to produce a specified maximum ripple  
current in the inductor. Lower ripple currents will result in  
less core and MOSFET losses and higher converter  
efficiency. Equation 3 may be used to calculate the  
minimum inductor value to produce a given maximum  
ripple current (a ) per phase. The inductor value calculated  
by this equation is a minimum because values less than this  
will produce more ripple current than desired. Conversely,  
higher inductor values will result in less than the selected  
maximum ripple current.  
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the  
output inductor value derived in this Section (Lo  
), the  
MIN  
number of output capacitors (N ) and the per  
OUT,MIN  
capacitor ESR determined in the previous Section:

OUT MIN SW  
(V * #Phases @ V  
IN  
) @ D ń (Lo  
@ f  
This formula assumes steady−state conditions with no  
more than one phase on at any time. The second term in  
Equation 4 is the total ripple current seen by the output  
capacitors. The total output ripple current is the “time  
summation” of the four individual phase currents that are 90  
degrees out−of−phase. As the inductor current in one phase  
ramps upward, current in the other phase ramps downward  
and provides a canceling of currents during part of the  
switching cycle. Therefore, the total output ripple current  
and voltage are reduced in a multi−phase converter.  
4. Input Capacitor Selection  
The choice and number of input capacitors is primarily  
determined by their voltage and ripple current ratings. The  
designer must choose capacitors that will support the worst  
case input voltage with adequate margin. To calculate the  
number of input capacitors, one must first determine the  
total RMS input ripple current. To this end, begin by  
calculating the average input current to the converter:

a is the ripple current as a percentage of the maximum  
output current per phase (a = 0.15 for ±15%, a = 0.25 for  
±25%, etc.). If the minimum inductor value is used, the  
inductor current will swing ± a % about its value at the  
center. Therefore, for a four−phase converter, the inductor  
must be designed or selected such that it will not saturate

The input capacitors will discharge when the control FET  
is ON and charge when the control FET is OFF as shown in  
Figure 23.  
In general, capacitor manufacturers require derating to the  
specified ripple−current based on the ambient temperature.  
More capacitors will be required because of the current  
derating. The designer should know the ESR of the input  
capacitors. The input capacitor power loss can be calculated

5. Input Inductor Selection  
The use of an inductor between the input capacitors and  
the power source will accomplish two objectives. First, it  
will isolate the voltage source and the system from the noise  
generated in the switching supply. Second, it will limit the  
inrush current into the input capacitors at power up. Large  
inrush currents reduce the expected life of the input  
capacitors. The inductor’s limiting effect on the input  
current slew rate becomes increasingly beneficial during  
load transients.  
The worst case input current slew rate will occur during  
the first few PWM cycles immediately after a step−load  
change is applied as shown in Figure 24. When the load is  
applied, the output voltage is pulled down very quickly.  
Current through the output inductors will not change  
instantaneously, so the initial transient load current must be  
conducted by the output capacitors. The output voltage will  
step downward depending on the magnitude of the output

For a four−phase converter with perfect efficiency (h = 1),  
the worst case input ripple−current will occur when the  
converter is operating at a 12.5% duty cycle. At this  
operating point, the parallel combination of input capacitors  
must support an RMS ripple current equal to 12.5% of the  
converter’s DC output current. At other duty cycles, the  
ripple−current will be less. For example, at a duty cycle of  
either 6% or 19%, the four−phase input ripple−current will  
be approximately 10% of the converter’s DC output current.

Power dissipation, package size and thermal requirements  
drive MOSFET selection. To adequately size the heat sink,  
the design must first predict the MOSFET power  
dissipation. Once the dissipation is known, the heat sink  
thermal impedance can be calculated to prevent the  
specified maximum case or junction temperatures from  
being exceeded at the highest ambient temperature. Power  
dissipation has two primary contributors: conduction losses  
and switching losses. The control or upper MOSFET will  
display both switching and conduction losses. The  
synchronous or lower MOSFET will exhibit only  
conduction losses because it switches into nearly zero  
voltage. However, the body diode in the synchronous  
MOSFET will suffer diode losses during the non−overlap  
time of the gate drivers.

The input inductance value calculated from Equation 18  
is relatively conservative. It assumes the supply voltage is  
very “stiff” and does not account for any parasitic elements  
that will limit dI/dt such as stray inductance. Also, the ESR  
values of the capacitors specified by the manufacturer’s data  
sheets are worst case high limits. In reality, input voltage  
“sag,” lower capacitor ESRs and stray inductance will help  
reduce the slew rate of the input current.  
As with the output inductor, the input inductor must  
support the maximum current without saturating the  
inductor. Also, for an inexpensive iron powder core, such as  
the −26 or −52 from Micrometals, the inductance “swing”  
with DC bias must be taken into account and inductance will  
decrease as the DC input current increases. At the maximum  
input current, the inductance must not decrease below the  
minimum value or the dI/dt will be higher than expected.

If C  
is too large, the loop gain/bandwidth will be low,  
AMP  
the COMP pin will slew too slowly and the output voltage  
will overshoot as shown in Figure 32. On the other hand, if  
C
AMP  
is too small, the loop gain/bandwidth will be high, the  
COMP pin will slew very quickly and overshoot will occur.  
Integrator “wind up” is the cause of the overshoot. In this  
case, the output voltage will transition more slowly because  
COMP spikes upward as shown in Figure 33. Too much loop  
gain/bandwidth increases the risk of instability. In general,  
one should use the lowest loop gain/bandwidth possible to  
achieve acceptable transient response. This will insure good  
stability. If C  
is optimal, the COMP pin will slew  
AMP  
quickly but not overshoot and the output voltage will  
monotonically settle as shown in Figure 35.  
After the control loop is tuned to provide an acceptable  
transient response, the steady−state voltage ripple on the  
COMP pin should be examined. When the converter is  
operating at full steady−state load, the peak−to−peak voltage

The IO pin provides an output signal proportional to  
inductor current, which can be used for system validation  
purposes as well as for current limiting. This signal is fed  
back into the IC through a low−pass filter between IO and  
IOF, as shown in Figure 36, so designers may customize the  
response time of the current limit functions.

For convenience in component selection, as well as to  
keep the V pin current below 1 mA, the designer is  
CIO  
REF  
recommended to set R2 and R4 equal to 10 kW.  
For the overcurrent protection to work properly, the  
current sense time constant (RC) should be slightly larger  
Figure 36. Filtering the IO Signal  
than the R time constant. If the RC time constant is too fast,  
L
a step load change will cause the sensed current waveform  
to appear larger than the actual inductor current and will trip  
the current limit at a lower level than expected.  
The designer should select these values empirically. A  
0.01 m F capacitor and a 20 kW resistor will prevent  
inadvertent current limit triggering in many cases.
