Start-up Voltage Tracking Protects
Dual Rail Microprocessors
DESCRIPTION
The UCC2585/UCC3585 synchronous Buck controller provides flexible
high efficiency power conversion for output voltages as low as 1.25V with
guaranteed 鹵1% DC accuracy. Output currents are only limited by the
choice of external logic level MOSFETs. With an input voltage range of
2.5V to 6.0V it is the ideal choice for 3.3V only, battery input, or other low
voltage systems. Applications include local microprocessor core voltage
power supplies for desktop and Notebook computers, and high speed GTL
bus regulation. Its fixed frequency oscillator is capable of providing practical
PWM operation to 700kHz.
With its low voltage capability and inherent 鈥渁lways on鈥?operation, the
UCC2585/UCC3585 causes VOUT to track VIN once VIN has exceeded
the threshold voltage of the external P channel MOSFET. Tracking can be
tailored for any application with a single resistor or disabled by connecting
TRACK to VIN. For dual supply rail microprocessors this feature negates
the need for external diodes to insure supply voltage tracking between the
+3.3V and lower voltage microprocessor core supplies.
