NCP4200MNR2G

NCP4200MNR2G is a synchronous, multi-phase, buck converter with an I2C interface. It combines a highly efficient, multi-phase, synchronous buck-switching regulator controller with an I2C interface, which enables digital programming of key system parameters to optimize system performance and provide feedback to the system. It uses an internal 8-bit DAC to read a Voltage Identification (VID) code directly from the processor, which is used to set the output voltage between 0.375V and 1.6V. This device uses a multi-mode PWM architecture to drive the logic-level outputs at a programmable switching frequency that can be optimized for VR size and efficiency. It supports PSI, which is a Power Save Mode. It includes an I2C interface which can be used to program system set points such as voltage offset, load-line and phase balance, and output voltage. The applications include desktop PC power supplies for VRM modules.
