Product details
Overview
CS5165AGDWR16G from onsemi is a 5-bit synchronous CPU buck controller optimized for Pentium II processor power delivery. It implements V² control architecture with 100 ns transient response, ±1.0% DAC voltage accuracy over temperature, and dual N-channel FET drive capability in a Pb-free SOIC-16 wide-body package. It delivers adaptive voltage positioning and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection for desktop and multiprocessor server applications.
For engineers reviewing the CS5165AGDWR16G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include V² topology performance, VID-based output programming (VID0–VID4), soft-start timing via SS pin, COFF-set off-time, and GATE(H)/GATE(L) driver specs for external NFETs.
Technical Context
The CS5165AGDWR16G uses V² control - generating its ramp signal directly from output voltage ESR - enabling inherent line/load regulation without artificial slope compensation. Its error amplifier drives COMP to set reference, while PWM comparator reacts to VFB vs. ramp within 130–180 ns after blanking.
It operates with constant off-time (programmed by COFF capacitor), variable on-time, and includes integrated features: 5-bit VID DAC (±1.0% tolerance), adaptive voltage positioning (±40 mV droop), 65 ns FET nonoverlap, and hiccup-mode fault recovery (3.3% duty cycle) triggered by VFB low comparator and SS timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V² Control Transient Response | 100 ns - enables fastest load-step correction among buck controllers of its era, critical for Pentium II core voltage stability. |
| DAC Accuracy | ±1.0% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures tight DC output regulation across temperature without external trimming. |
| Switching Frequency Range | Up to 1.0 MHz - allows compact magnetics and high-efficiency design with minimal PCB area. |
| GATE(H)/GATE(L) Drive Strength | 1.5 A peak, 200 mA DC - supports fast switching of large NFETs (e.g., IRL3103) with 40 ns rise/fall times into 3.3 nF load. |
| FET Nonoverlap Time | 65 ns - prevents shoot-through current between high-side and low-side MOSFETs, enhancing efficiency and reliability. |
| OVP Reaction Time | 100 ns - intrinsic to V² topology; shuts off GATE(H) and activates GATE(L) to crowbar output during overvoltage events. |
| Soft-Start Timing | Programmable via SS capacitor (1.6–5.0 ms charge time) - ensures controlled inrush current and avoids input rail collapse at startup. |
Pinout & Package
CS5165AGDWR16G is housed in a Pb-free SOIC-16 wide-body (DW suffix, Case 751G) package with 1.27 mm pitch and thermal pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID0–VID4 (Pins 1–4, 6) | Voltage ID DAC inputs | Set output voltage in two ranges: 2.14–3.54 V (100 mV steps, VID4=1) or 1.34–2.09 V (50 mV steps, VID4=0); internally pulled up to 5.0 V. |
| SS (Pin 5) | Soft-start timing input | Capacitor to LGND sets soft-start duration and hiccup-mode fault timing; clamped at 0.95 V during startup. |
| COFF (Pin 7) | Off-time programming | Capacitor to LGND sets normal off-time (1.0–2.3 µs) and extended off-time (5.0–12.0 µs) for fault recovery. |
| ENABLE (Pin 8) | Enable/disable control | Logic-low (<0.8 V) forces micropower shutdown (300–600 µA VCC current); internally pulled up to 1.8 V. |
| VCC (Pin 9) | Main supply input | 8–14 V operation; includes VCC monitor (3.75–4.15 V start threshold) to prevent premature startup. |
| GATE(H) (Pin 10) | High-side NFET driver | Drives external high-side N-channel MOSFET; 1.2–2.0 V high-level, 1.0–1.5 V low-level, 40 ns rise/fall into 3.3 nF. |
| PGND (Pin 11) | Power ground return | High-current return path for GATE(H)/GATE(L); must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise and shoot-through risk. |
| GATE(L) (Pin 12) | Low-side synchronous rectifier driver | Drives external low-side N-channel MOSFET; matched timing with GATE(H) and 65 ns nonoverlap guarantee. |
| PWRGD (Pin 13) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Active-low when VFB deviates >±5% from DAC target; 30–120 µs delay ensures stable regulation before assertion. |
| LGND (Pin 14) | Logic ground reference | Reference for all control circuitry (COMP, VFB, VID, ENABLE); must be separated from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| COMP (Pin 15) | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network; clamped at 0.85–1.15 V; source/sink current up to 1.0 mA. |
| VFB (Pin 16) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; connects to error amp, PWM comparator, and low-VFB comparator for fault detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| V² Control Topology | Uses output capacitor ESR as natural ramp source - eliminates need for slope compensation, improves noise immunity, and enables 100 ns transient response. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the CS5165AGDWR16G in a Pentium II power system?
The CS5165AGDWR16G serves as the synchronous buck controller that regulates core voltage for Pentium II processors. It interprets VID signals (VID0–VID4) to set output voltage, drives external high-side and low-side NFETs via GATE(H) and GATE(L), and maintains tight regulation using V² control. Its 100 ns transient response and ±1.0% DAC accuracy ensure compliance with Intel VRM 8.4 requirements. The CS5165AGDWR16G also provides adaptive voltage positioning and hiccup-mode protection to sustain reliable operation under dynamic loads.
How does the V² control architecture in the CS5165AGDWR16G improve transient response compared to voltage-mode controllers?
The CS5165AGDWR16G's V² control uses the output capacitor's ESR to generate a natural ramp signal proportional to inductor AC current - eliminating reliance on error amplifier bandwidth for transient correction. This allows the PWM comparator to react within 100 ns to load or line changes, independent of loop crossover frequency. In contrast, voltage-mode controllers require slower error amplifier settling, resulting in longer recovery times. The CS5165AGDWR16G thus achieves faster correction while maintaining DC accuracy and superior noise immunity, especially with remote sensing.
Can the CS5165AGDWR16G operate without VID inputs, and how is output voltage set in that mode?
Yes - if all five VID pins (VID0–VID4) are left open, the CS5165AGDWR16G enters adjust mode. In this mode, output voltage is set via external resistor divider feedback to the VFB pin, functioning like a traditional error amplifier-based controller. The internal 5-bit DAC is disabled, and regulation relies on COMP voltage tracking the VFB divider ratio. This provides design flexibility for non-VID applications or custom voltage targets outside the standard VID ranges (2.14–3.54 V or 1.34–2.09 V). The CS5165AGDWR16G retains all protection features including OVP and hiccup-mode fault handling in adjust mode.
What external components are required to configure soft-start and off-time on the CS5165AGDWR16G?
The CS5165AGDWR16G requires two external capacitors: a capacitor from SS (Pin 5) to LGND sets soft-start duration (1.6–5.0 ms typical) and hiccup-mode fault timing; a capacitor from COFF (Pin 7) to LGND sets normal off-time (1.0–2.3 µs) and extended off-time (5.0–12.0 µs). No resistors are needed for these functions - timing is fully capacitor-programmed. The CS5165AGDWR16G datasheet provides recommended values (e.g., 0.1 µF for SS, 330 pF for COFF) based on typical Pentium II applications, but values can be adjusted for specific startup behavior or fault-recovery profiles.
Does the CS5165AGDWR16G support overvoltage protection without additional components, and how does it work?
Yes - overvoltage protection (OVP) is intrinsic to the CS5165AGDWR16G's V² control architecture and requires no external components. When output voltage rises abnormally, the V² ramp increases instantly, causing the PWM comparator to terminate GATE(H) within 100 ns. Simultaneously, GATE(L) activates to sink current and "crowbar" the output, clamping voltage and protecting the processor. This action depends on proper board-level design of the low-side FET and PCB trace to handle crowbar current. The CS5165AGDWR16G's OVP is automatic, fast, and fully integrated - a key differentiator versus controllers needing external OVP comparators or voltage monitors.
