ON Semiconductor has expanded its portfolio to include all key components necessary to easily implement compact, succinct and scalable power-delivery systems for next-generation chipsets and memory.

ON Semiconductor has expanded its computing portfolio to include all the key components necessary to easily implement compact, succinct and scalable power-delivery systems for next-generation chipsets and memory "ON Semiconductor now offers a complete and timely power solution for next-generation chipsets and will continue to work with the industry on future computing performance needs", said Peter Zdebel, ON Semiconductor Chief Technology Officer

"As computing architectures continue to become more complex, ON Semiconductor is committed to aligning its technology and roadmaps to provide computer motherboard manufacturers with the comprehensive power-management solutions they need to drive the aggressive development schedules required for market demand".

The turnkey solutions and complete reference designs ON Semiconductor now offers to support next-generation architectures are specifically designed to solve the complex power design challenges resulting from new process technologies, faster clock speeds and higher current demands.

When used together, ON Semiconductor's highly integrated power controllers, state-of-the-art VRM 10.1 controllers, high-performance gate drivers and computer-focused mosfets deliver the lower voltage levels, tighter tolerances and higher current requirements demanded by the latest process technologies.

ON Semiconductor's new, highly integrated NCP5210 controller - along with the NTD60N02R mosfet - provide a turnkey, scalable power solution for both next-generation computing chipsets and DDR memory.

The NCP5210 combines two pulsewidth modulator (PWM) buck convertors for the VDDQ supply and the MCH core voltage supply with a 2.1A source-sink linear power regulator for the VTT termination voltage.

The low threshold voltage of the NTD60N02R results in good conduction characteristics as low gate-drive voltages.

ON Semiconductor's CPU or Vcore power solution to support the next generation chipsets and processors include the NCP5314 family of VRM 10.X controllers.

Coupled with the NCP5351 or NCP5355 gate drivers and the company's new family of low-voltage mosfets, this solution forms a high-performance, high-efficiency, multiphase buck regulator to meet manufacturers' voltage regulator down (VRD) 10.X power specifications.

ON Semiconductor's portfolio of mosfets for CPU power applications includes the NTD60N02R and NTD110N02R, that when respectively used for the high and low side synchronous rectification configuration, achieve very high power conversion efficiencies.

To achieve this, the NTD60N02R offers very low gate charge and the NTD110N02R provides extremely low on-resistance.

In fact, the low-side 24V NTD110N02R delivers a typical on-resistance of 3.7mohm at 10V - one of the industry's lowest ratings for a Dpak.

Additionally, it delivers the industry's best figure of merit - 170mohm-mC.
