MP2930GQK-LF-Z

Overview

The MP2930GQK-LF-Z is a four-phase synchronous buck switching regulator controller designed for regulating microprocessor core voltages. It supports Intel VR10 and VR11 specifications, featuring an integrated 8-bit DAC code for precise voltage adjustment. The device operates as a standalone PWM controller with comprehensive protection mechanisms. It is housed in a 40-QFN (6x6) package, suitable for high-density power delivery applications requiring efficient multi-phase control.

Feature Summary

• Supports Intel VR10 and VR11 voltage regulator specifications
• Integrates an 8-bit DAC code for precise output voltage control
• Provides four-phase synchronous buck switching regulation

Applications

• Microprocessor core voltage regulation
• Intel platform power sequencing
• High-performance computing power delivery systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LF-Z indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence when sourcing. Confirm the 40-QFN (6x6) package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target processor's VID or DAC interface protocol before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring strict adherence to Intel VR10/VR11 standards. The integrated 8-bit DAC simplifies voltage tracking compared to traditional VID interfaces. Consider thermal performance within the 6x6 QFN package for high-current phase configurations.

Part Context

This part belongs to Monolithic Power Systems' specialized PMIC family focused on CPU/GPU power management. It complements other MPS controllers like the MP2932 by offering similar functionality in a 40-pin form factor. The series targets next-generation processors demanding tight voltage tolerances.

Replacement Considerations

The MP2930GQK-LF-P is a pin-compatible alternative from the same manufacturer. Verify if the P suffix differs in packaging quantity or environmental compliance compared to the Z suffix.
