NCP81141
Single-Phase Controller
with SVID Interface for
Desktop and Notebook CPU
Applications
The NCP81141 Single−Phase buck solution is optimized for Intel
VR12.6 compatible CPUs. The controller combines true differential
voltage sensing, differential inductor DCR current sensing, input
voltage feed−forward, and adaptive voltage positioning to provide
accurately regulated power for both Desktop and Notebook
applications. The single phase controller uses DCR current sensing
providing the fastest initial response to dynamic load events at reduced
system cost.
The NCP81141 incorporates an internal MOSFET driver for
improved system efficiency. High performance operational error
amplifiers are provided to simplify compensation of the system.
Patented Dynamic Reference Injection further simplifies loop
compensation by eliminating the need to compromise between
closed−loop transient response and Dynamic VID performance.
Patented Total Current Summing provides highly accurate digital
current monitoring.

BOOT VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING
The NCP81141 has a Vboot voltage that can be externally programmed. The Boot voltage for the NCP81141 is set using
VBOOT pin on power up. A 10uA current is sourced from the VBoot pin and the resulting voltage is measured. This is
compared with the thresholds in table below. This value is programmed on power up and cannot be changed after the initial
power up sequence is complete.

REMOTE SENSE AMPLIFIER
A high performance high input impedance true differential amplifier is provided to accurately sense the output voltage of
the regulator. The VSP and VSN inputs should be connected to the regulator’s output voltage sense points. The remote sense
amplifier takes the difference of the output voltage with the DAC voltage and adds the droop voltage to
V DIFOUT + ǒV VSP * V VSNǓ ) ǒ1.3 V * V DACǓ ) ǒV DROOP * V CSREFǓ
This signal then goes through a standard error compensation network and into the inverting input of the error amplifier. The
non−inverting input of the error amplifier is connected to the same 1.3 V reference used for the differential sense amplifier
output bias.
REMOTE SENSE AMPLIFIER
The differential current-sense circuit diagram is shown in figure below. An internally-used signal Vcs, representing the
inductor current level, is the voltage difference between CSREF and CSCOMP. The output side of the inductor is used to create
a low impedance virtual ground. The current-sense amplifier actively filters and gains up the voltage applied across the inductor
to recover the voltage drop across the inductor’s DC resistance(DCR). RCS_NTC is placed close to the inductor and
compensate for the change in the DCR with temperature.

High Performance Voltage Error Amplifier
A high performance error amplifier is provided for high bandwidth transient performance. A standard type 3 compensation
circuit is normally used to compensate the system.
Current Sense Amplifier
The output current signal is floating with respect to CSREF. The current signal is the difference between CSCOMP and
CSREF. The output side of the inductor is used to create a low impedance virtual ground. The amplifier actively filters and
gains up the voltage applied across the inductor to recover the voltage drop across the inductor series resistance (DCR). Rth
is placed near the inductor to sense the temperature of the inductor. This allows the filter time constant and gain to be a function
of the Rth NTC resistor and compensate for the change in the DCR with temperature.

The DC gain equation for the current sensing:
Rcs1*Rth
V CSCOMP−CSREF + −
Rcs2 ) Rcs1)Rth
Rph
* ǒIout Total * DCRǓ
Set the gain by adjusting the value of the Rph resistor. The DC gain should be set to the output voltage droop. If the voltage
from CSCOMP to CSREF is less than 100 mV at ICCMAX then it is recommend increasing the gain of the CSCOMP amp.
This is required to provide a good current signal to offset voltage ratio for the ILIMIT pin. When no droop is needed, the gain
of the amplifier should be set to provide ~100 mV across the current limit programming resistor at full load. The values of Rcs1
and Rcs2 are set based on the 100k NTC and the temperature effect of the inductor and should not need to be changed. The
NTC should be placed close to the inductor.
The pole frequency in the CSCOMP filter should be set equal to the zero from the output inductor. This allows the circuit
to recover the inductor DCR voltage drop current signal. Ccs1 and Ccs2 are in parallel to allow for fine tuning of the time
constant using commonly available values. It is best to fine tune this filter during transient testing.

PROGRAMMING CURRENT LIMIT
The current limit thresholds are programmed with a resistor between the ILIMIT and CSCOMP pins. The ILIMIT pin mirrors
the voltage at the CSREF pin and mirrors the sink current internally to IOUT (reduced by the IOUT Current Gain) and the
current limit comparators. The 100% current limit trips if the ILIMIT sink current exceeds 10 mA for 50 ms. The 150% current
limit trips with minimal delay if the ILIMIT sink current exceeds 15 mA. Set the value of the current limit resistor based on
the CSCOMP−CSREF voltage as shown below. Note the loadline is set at 50% of cscomp/csref differential.

PROGRAMMING IOUT
The IOUT pin sources a current in proportion to the ILIMIT sink current. The voltage on the IOUT pin is monitored by the
internal A/D converter and should be scaled with an external resistor to ground such that a load equal to ICCMAX generates
a 2 V signal on IOUT. A pull−up resistor from 5 V VCC can be used to offset the IOUT signal positive if needed.

PRECISION OSCILLATOR
Switching frequency is programmed by a resistor Rosc to ground at the Rosc pin. The typical frequency range is from
500 kHz to 1.2 MHz. The FREQ pin provides approximately 2 V out and the source current is mirrored into the internal ramp
generator. The switching frequency can be found in figure below with a given Rosc. The frequency shown in the figure is under
condition of 10 A output current at VID = 1.8 V. The frequency has a variation over VID voltage and loading current, which
maintains similar output ripple voltage over different operation condition.
Figure 9. Operating Frequency vs. ROSC
The oscillator generates a triangular ramp that is 0.5 ~ 2.5 V in amplitude depending on the VRMP pin voltage to provide
input voltage feed forward compensation.

Programming the Ramp Feed-Forward Circuit
The ramp generator circuit provides the ramp used by the PWM comparators. The ramp generator provides voltage
feed-forward control by varying the ramp magnitude with respect to the VRMP pin voltage. The VRMP pin also has a 3.2 V
UVLO function. The VRMP UVLO is only active after the controller is enabled. The VRMP pin is high impedance input when
the controller is disabled.
The PWM ramp time is changed according to the following

Programming DAC Feed−Forward Filter
The DAC feed−forward implementation is realized by having a filter on the VSN pin. Programming Rvsn sets the gain of
the DAC feed−forward and Cvsn provides the time constant to cancel the time constant of the system per the following
equations. Cout is the total output capacitance and Rout is the output impedance of the system.

Programming DROOP
The signals CSCOMP and CSREF are differentially summed with the output voltage feedback to add precision voltage droop
to the output voltage.

Phase COMPARITOR
The noninverting input of the comparator for phase one is connected to the output of the error amplifier (COMP) and the
phase current (IL*DCR*Phase Balance Gain Factor). The inverting input is connected to the oscillator ramp voltage with a
1.3 V offset. The operating input voltage range of the comparator is from 0 V to 3.0 V and the output of the comparator generates
the PWM signal which is applied to the input of the internal driver.
During steady state operation, the duty cycle is centered on the valley of the sawtooth ramp waveform. The steady state duty
cycle is still calculated by approximately Vout/Vin.
Protection Features
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
There are several under voltage monitors in the system. Hysteresis is incorporated within the comparators. NCP81141
monitors the VCC Shunt supply. The gate driver monitors both the gate driver VCC and the BST voltage.
SOFT START
Soft start is implemented internally. A digital counter steps the DAC up from zero to the target voltage based on the
predetermined rate in the spec table.
OVER CURRENT LATCH−OFF PROTECTION
The NCP81141 compares a programmable current−limit set point to the voltage from the output of the current−summing
amplifier. The level of current limit is set with the resistor from the ILIM pin to CSCOMP. The current through the external
resistor connected between ILIM and CSCOMP is then compared to the internal current limit current ICL. If the current
generated through this resistor into the ILIM pin (Ilim) exceeds the internal current−limit threshold current (ICL), an internal
latch−off counter starts, and the controller shuts down if the fault is not removed after 50 ms (shut down immediately for 150%
load current) after which the outputs will remain disabled until the VCC voltage or EN is toggled.
www.onsemi.com
18
NCP81141
The voltage swing seen on CSCOMP cannot go below ground. This limits the voltage drop across the DCR. The over−current
limit is programmed by a resistor on the ILIM pin. The resistor value can be calculated by the following equation:
R ILIM +
ǒILIM * DCR * R CSńR PHǓ * 2
I CL
Where ICL = 10 mA.
Figure 14. Current Limit
UNDER VOLTAGE MONITOR
The output voltage is monitored at the output of the differential amplifier for UVLO. If the output falls more than 300 mV
below the DAC−DROOP voltage the UVLO comparator will trip sending the VR_RDY signal low.
www.onsemi.com
19
NCP81141
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The output voltage is also monitored at the output of the differential amplifier for OVP. During normal operation, if the output
voltage exceeds the DAC voltage by 400 mV, the VR_RDY flag goes low, and the DAC will be ramped down slowly. At the
same time, the high side gate driver is turned off and the low side gate driver is turned on until the voltage falls to 100 mV. The
part will stay in this mode until the VCC voltage or EN is toggled. During start up, the OVP threshold is set to 2.9 V. This allows
the controller to start up without false triggering the OVP.
Figure 15. OVP Behavior at Startup
Figure 16. OVP During Normal Operation Mode
During start up, the OVP threshold is set to 2.2 V. This allows the controller to start up without false triggering the OVP.
