General Description

The uP1649Q is a VR12.5 compliant CPU power controller supports up to 4 phases. The integrated I2C interface programmability makes the uP1649Q high performance and easy design. Designer can define different power scenario for different current states to optimize the performance and efficiency. The uP1649Q combines true differential voltage sensing, differential inductor DCR current sensing, input voltage feed-forward and adaptive voltage positioning to provide accurately regulated power for desktop CPUs. It adopts uPI proprietary RCOTTM (Robust Constant On-Time) topology to have fast transient response and smooth mode transition. Similar to digital based PWM controller, the loop gain is also programmable by I2C interface to achieve design flexibility.

The uP1649Q provides VR_READY indicator. It also features complete fault protection functions including over voltage, under voltage, over current, over temperature and under voltage lockout. The uP1649Q is available in VQFN5X5 – 40L package.
