Buck Controller 48-Pin DFN EP T/R

The CHL8266 is a 6-phase digital synchronous buck controller for regulation of high-performance GPU platforms. The CHL8266 deploys a number of efficiency shaping features. PSI can be programmed to be up to four phases for optimum light-load efficiency, and the controller can autonomously add/drop phases from mid to high and back to mid current ranges to deliver 90+% efficiency across the entire load range. IR’s unique Adaptive Transient Algorithm, based on nonlinear digital PWM algorithms, minimizes output bulk capacitors. CHL8266 supports NTC temperature sense to report temperature and trigger VR HOT and OTP faults. Digital thermal balancing allows proportional current imbalance between phases. The CHL8266 provides extensive OVP, UVP, OCP and OTP fault protection. Device and fault configuration parameters are easily defined using the IR Digital Power Design Center (DPDC) GUI and stored in on-chip non-volatile memory (NVM). The 2-pin SMBus interface can be used to monitor a variety of operating parameters on CHL8266 based VRs. The CHL8266 truly simplifies VRD design and enables fastest time-to-market with its “set-and-forget” methodology.
