The NCP81031 is a simple single phase solution with differential
phase current sensing, low current power saving mode of operation,
and on board gate drivers to provide accurately regulated power. It can
be set up to synchronize to an external clock or PWM signal within
certain frequency range.
The adaptive non overlap gate drive and power saving operation
circuit provide a low switching loss and high efficiency solution for
server, notebook, and desktop systems. A high performance
operational error amplifier is provided to simplify compensation of the
system. The NCP81031 features include soft−start sequence, accurate
overvoltage and over current protection, UVLO for VCC and VCCP,
and thermal shutdown.

Switching Frequency
Synchronization Function
Connecting a resistor from ROSC/EN to external voltage
source Vpu will configure the frequency. Normal range
would be 100 kHz to 1 MHz. With no resistor connected to
the pin, the oscillator frequency is 200 kHz. The switching
frequency will follow the relationship:
Synchronize through the SYNCH pin. Synchronization
function allows different converters to share the same input
filter reducing the resulting Irms and reducing the need for
total caps to sustain the load. Synchronized systems also
exhibits higher noise immunity and better regulation.
The device synchronizes the high−side MOSFET turn−on
with the falling edge of the SYNCH pin input signal. In order
for internal switching to track the external signal, the
external signal has to fall within 0−40% frequency window
above the internal frequency set by the OSC pin. SYNCH
pin can be connected to other regulators’ PWM, phase node,
gate signals according to the desired phase−shift with proper
voltage scaling.

@ 10
kHz
mA
(eq. 1)
When Rosc = infinity (no resistor connected), Fsw =
200 kHz; when Vpu = ground, the frequency programmed
will be higher than 200 kHz.
Soft−Start
Soft−Start will begin if VCC, VCCP are both above their
UVLO threshold and EN pin is set free. IC initially waits a
fixed delay time and then ramping−up the reference in 1024
clock cycles in closed−loop regulation. After digital soft
start, PGOOD signal will be released with three clock cycles
delay.
Protection active during soft−start:
• Overvoltage Protection always enabled;
• Undervoltage Protection is enabled after reference
voltage ramps up to 80% of the final value. In
soft−start, a UVP fault will directly restart a complete
soft−start.
