ADP3208C
7-Bit, Programmable,
Dual-Phase, Mobile, CPU,
Synchronous Buck
Controller
The ADP3208C is a highly efficient, multiphase, synchronous buck
switching regulator controller. With its integrated drivers, the
ADP3208C is optimized for converting the notebook battery voltage
into the core supply voltage required by high performance Intel
processors. An internal 7−bit DAC is used to read a VID code directly
from the processor and to set the CPU core voltage to a value within
the range of 0.3 V to 1.5 V. The phase relationship of the output signals
ensures interleaved 2−phase operation.
The ADP3208C uses a multi−mode architecture run at a
programmable switching frequency and optimized for efficiency
depending on the output current requirement. The ADP3208C
switches between single− and dual−phase operation to maximize
efficiency with all load conditions. The chip includes a programmable
load line slope function to adjust the output voltage as a function of the
load current so that the core voltage is always optimally positioned for
a load transient. The ADP3208C also provides accurate and reliable
short−circuit protection, adjustable current limiting, and a delayed
power−good output. The IC supports On−The−Fly (OTF) output
voltage changes requested by the CPU.
The ADP3208C is specified over the extended commercial
temperature range of
−10°C
to 100°C and is available in a 48−lead
LFCSP.

Description
Enable Input. Driving this pin low shuts down the chip, disables the driver outputs, pulls PWRGD and VRTT
low, and pulls CLKEN high.
Power−Good Output. Open−drain output. A low logic state means that the output voltage is outside of the
VID DAC defined range.
Not Connected.
Clock Enable Output. Open−drain output. A low logic state enables the CPU internal PLL clock to lock to the
external clock.
Feedback Return Input/Output. This pin remotely senses the CPU core voltage. It is also used as the ground
return for the VID DAC and the voltage error amplifier blocks.
Voltage Error Amplifier Feedback Input. The inverting input of the voltage error amplifier.
Voltage Error Amplifier Output and Frequency Compensation Point.
Not Connected.
RPM Mode Timing Control Input. A resistor between this pin or RPM pin to ground sets the RPM mode
turn−on threshold voltage. If a resistor is connected between this pin to ground, RPM pin must remain
floating and not connected.
Variable Frequency Enable Input. A high logic state enables the PWM clock frequency to vary with VID code.
Voltage Regulator Thermal Throttling Output. Logic high state indicates that the voltage regulator
temperature at the remote sensing point exceeded a set alarm threshold level.
Thermal Throttling Sense and Crowbar Disable Input. A resistor divider where the upper resistor is
connected to VCC, the lower resistor (NTC thermistor) is connected to GND, and the center point is
connected to this pin and acts as a temperature sensor half bridge. Connecting TTSNS to GND disables the
thermal throttling function and disables the crowbar, or Overvoltage Protection (OVP), feature of the chip.
Current Monitor Output. This pin sources a current proportional to the output load current. A resistor to
FBRTN sets the current monitor gain.
RPM Mode Timing Control Input. A resistor between this pin or IRPM pin to ground sets the RPM mode
turn−on threshold voltage. If a resistor is connected between this pin to ground, IRPM pin must remain
floating.
This pin sets the internal bias currents. A 80 kW resistor is connected from this pin to ground.
Load Line Programming Input. The center point of a resistor divider connected between CSREF and
CSCOMP can be tied to this pin to set the load line slope.
Current Sense Amplifier Output and Frequency Compensation Point.
Current Sense Reference Input. This pin must be connected to the common point of the output inductors.
The node is shorted to GND through an internal switch when the chip is disabled to provide soft stop
transient control of the converter output voltage.
Current Sense Summing Input. External resistors from each switch node to this pin sum the inductor currents
to provide total current information.
PWM Ramp Slope Setting Input. An external resistor from the converter input voltage node to this pin sets
the slope of the internal PWM stabilizing ramp used for phase−current balancing.
Current Limit Set. An external resistor from ILIMN to ILIMP sets the current limit threshold of the converter.
Current Limit Set. An external resistor from ILIMN to ILIMP sets the current limit threshold of the converter.
PWM Oscillator Frequency Setting Input. An external resistor from this pin to GND sets the PWM oscillator
frequency.
Analog and Digital Signal Ground.
High−Side Bootstrap Supply for Phase 2. A capacitor from this pin to SW2 holds the bootstrapped voltage
while the high−side MOSFET is on.
High−Side Gate Drive Output for Phase 2.
Current Balance Input for Phase 2 and Current Return for High−Side Gate Drive.
Power Supply Input/Output of Low−Side Gate Driver for Phase 2.
Low−Side Gate Drive Output for Phase 2.
Low−Side Driver Power Ground for Phase 2.

Power Supply Input/Output of the Controller.
Single−Phase Select Input. Logic high state sets single−phase configuration.
Voltage Identification DAC Inputs. A 7−bit word (the VID code) programs the DAC output voltage, the
reference voltage of the voltage error amplifier without a load (see the VID code Table 3).
Power State Indicator Input. Driving this pin low forces the controller to operate in single−phase mode.
Deeper Stop Control Input. The logic state of this pin is usually complementary to the state of the DPRSLP
pin; however, during slow deeper sleep exit, both pins are logic low.
Deeper Sleep Control Input.
