DESCRIPTION
The device is a power supply controller specifica lly de-
signed to provide a high performance DC/DC conver-
sion for high current microprocessors. A precise 5-bit
digital to analog converter (DAC) allows adjusting the
output voltage from 1.30V to 2.05V with 50mV binary
steps and from 2.10V to 3.50V with 100mV binary steps.
APPLICATIONS
s
POWER SUPPLY FOR ADVANCED
MICROPROCESSOR CORE
s
DISTRIBUTED POWER SUPPLY
s
HIGH POWER DC-DC REGULATORS
The high precision internal reference assures the se-
lected output voltage to be within
鹵1%.
The high peak
current gate drive affords to have fast switching to the
external power mos providing low switching losses.
The device assures a fast protection against load
overcurrent and load overvoltage. An external SCR is
triggered to crowbar the input supply in case of hard
over-voltage. An internal crowbar is also provided
turning on the low side mosfet as long as the over-
voltage is detected. In case of over-current detection,
the soft start capacitor is discharged and the system
works in HICCUP mode.
