DESCRIPTION
The device is a power supply controller specifically 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.
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.
