The Primarion PX3539 VR11 4-phase Digital PWM Controller provides core power for today’s high current microprocessors by driving up to four synchronous-rectified buck-converter channels in parallel. Interleaved timing of the channels results in a higher ripple frequency, reducing input and output ripple. With up to four phases, each capable of up to 2 MHz operation, the PX3539 can be used to build DC-DC converters that provide up to 130A with excellent efficiency, low ripple, and the lowest component count. The PX3539 utilizes digital technology to implement all control functions, providing the ultimate in flexibility and stability. The PX3539 incorporates an industry standard I2C-bus serial interface for control and monitoring. Through the serial interface, the power supply designer can quickly optimize designs and monitor system performance. The interface allows the PX3539 to provide digitized information for real time system monitoring and control. The PX3539 provides superior loadline accuracy through internal calibration that measures and corrects current sense error sources upon startup. The PX3539 has programmable current sense temperature compensation that allows the designer to tailor the response for best loadline accuracy over temperature. Superior loadline accuracy reduces component count and solution cost.
