Fixed frequency voltage mode control is used for CPU, Memory and ASIC applications where a predictable frequency and/or synchrnization to an external clock is needed. Four high-current synchronous power stages provide the high currents and low losses needed for these applications. Multi-phase also allows output ripple cancellation and effective higher bandwidth control for a given switching frequency. PMP9131 focuses on ease of electrical testing and ability to make changes "on the fly" thru the PMBus interface. On-board bias supplies and a high speed dynamic load round out the rich test interface.
