Product details
Overview
NCP5314FTR2 from onsemi is a programmable two/three/four-phase buck CPU controller for high-performance x86 processors, supporting VR(M)10.x compliance with 6-bit VID DAC (0.8375–1.6000 V output range), up to 1.2 MHz per-phase switching frequency, and enhanced V2™ control for sub-100 ns transient response. It integrates differential current sensing per phase, adaptive voltage positioning, and latching overvoltage/overcurrent protection - deployed in server CPU VRMs and high-end desktop power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the NCP5314FTR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, phase-configurable operation details, real-world current-sharing performance (≤10% inter-phase mismatch), and VR(M)10.x-compliant power sequencing behavior - critical for CPU core voltage regulation design validation.
Technical Context
The NCP5314FTR2 implements Enhanced V2™ control combining fast voltage feedback (via VFFB direct connection to PWM comparator) with peak current-mode sensing across four phases. Its internal ramp (100 mV at 50% duty) compensates propagation delays, enabling stable operation down to 40 ns minimum pulse width and duty cycles above 50% without external slope compensation.
Phase timing is fixed-frequency with 90° inter-phase delay in 4-phase mode (120° in 3-phase), driven by ROSC-set oscillator (660 kHz typical at 32.4 kΩ). Current sharing is enforced by referencing all phase comparators to a common COMP node and using differential CSxP/CSxN inputs with 2.54 V/V gain to VDRP for adaptive voltage positioning.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-phase CPU buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6322IRZ | 3-phase only; uses traditional V2 control (no internal ramp); 8-bit VID (0.3–2.0 V); no AVP support. | Lacks adaptive voltage positioning and 4-phase capability; requires external slope compensation above 500 kHz. | Select when 3-phase operation suffices and AVP is not required; verify compatibility with existing layout due to different pinout and feedback architecture. |
| RT8803AZSP | 4-phase with D-CAP+ control; 6-bit VID; integrated MOSFET drivers; no differential current sense pins. | Eliminates need for external gate drivers but lacks per-phase current monitoring and fine-grained current sharing tuning. | Choose for space-constrained designs where integrated drivers reduce BOM count; avoid if precise inter-phase current matching or external driver flexibility is required. |
Compared with ISL6322IRZ and RT8803AZSP, the NCP5314FTR2 uniquely combines 4-phase configurability, differential current sensing for ≤10% sharing accuracy, and Enhanced V2™ with internal ramp - enabling higher-frequency operation without slope compensation while maintaining VR(M)10.x compliance and AVP capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency per phase for the NCP5314FTR2?
The NCP5314FTR2 supports up to 1.2 MHz per phase in two-phase configuration. In three-phase mode, typical frequency is 880 kHz; in four-phase mode, it is 660 kHz - both set by the ROSC resistor value (e.g., 32.4 kΩ yields 660 kHz in 4-phase). The oscillator tolerances are ±15%, and frequency decreases with added phase count due to internal timing division.
How does the NCP5314FTR2 achieve current sharing between phases?
The NCP5314FTR2 achieves current sharing via differential current sense inputs (CS1P/CS1N through CS4P/CS4N) feeding individual current sense amplifiers, whose outputs sum into the shared COMP node. This forces all phases to regulate to the same COMP voltage, causing higher-current phases to terminate earlier - achieving ≤10% inter-phase current mismatch without external balancer circuits.
Does the NCP5314FTR2 support VR(M)10.x specifications?
Yes, the NCP5314FTR2 fully supports VR(M)10.x specifications: it includes a 6-bit VID DAC compatible with VR10 protocols, power-good thresholds aligned to VR10 (±115 mV upper, 50% lower), "111110" and "111111" DAC fault codes, adaptive voltage positioning, and required protection features including latching OVP and programmable overcurrent limits.
What is the function of the VDRP pin on the NCP5314FTR2?
The VDRP pin on the NCP5314FTR2 outputs an analog voltage proportional to total inductor current (summed across all phases), used for adaptive voltage positioning (AVP). Its offset above the DAC voltage is programmable via an external resistor to VFB; when enabled, it lowers VCORE under load to maintain constant effective output impedance - reducing required output capacitance by up to 30%.
Can the NCP5314FTR2 operate in two-phase mode, and how is it configured?
Yes, the NCP5314FTR2 supports two-phase operation. It is configured by leaving CS3P/CS3N and CS4P/CS4N unconnected (high-impedance), which disables Phases 3 and 4. The remaining CS1P/CS1N and CS2P/CS2N pairs remain active, and the internal oscillator automatically adjusts timing for 180° phase separation. No register programming or external strapping is required - mode is determined by connected current sense inputs.
