Linear Controller
ꢀFEATURES
ꢀDESCRIPTION
ꢀ Switching Regulator and Low Dropout Linear
Regulator on Single Chip.
ꢀ Simple Voltage-Mode PWM Control.
ꢀ Fast Transient Response.
The AIC1566 is a high power, high efficiency
switching regulator controller optimized for high
performance microprocessor applications. It is
designed to drive an N-channel MOSFET in a

dropout linear regulator and
programmable switching regulator, the AIC1566
includes monitoring and protection capabilities in
addition to all the essential PWM control
functions.
Featuring a low

ꢀ Adjustable Current Limit Without External Sense
Resistors.
ꢀ Full 0% to 100% Duty Ratio.
ꢀ 200KHz Free-Running Oscillator Programmable

a
ꢀ Power-Good Output Voltage Monitor.
ꢀ Short Circuit Protection with Low Short Circuit
Output Current.
The internal 4-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) adjusts the output voltage from 2.0V to
3.5V in 0.1V increments. The precision reference
and voltage-mode control can provide output
regulation within 1.5% over temperature and line
voltage shifts.
ꢀAPPLICATIONS
ꢀ Power Supply for Pentium, Pentium Pro, Power
PC, and Alpha Microprocessors.
ꢀ High-Power 5V to 3.xV DC/DC Regulators.
ꢀ Low-Voltage Distributed Power Supplies.
The internal oscillator of the AIC1566 free runs at
200KHz and can be adjusted up to 350KHz. The
resulting PWM duty ratio ranges from 0% to 100%.
The error amplifier features a 11MHz bandwidth
and 6V/µS slew rate which enables high

transient
performance.
The AIC1566 provides adjustable over current
and short circuit protections. It senses the output
current across the on resistance of the N-channel
MOSFET without an external low value sense
resistor. It also monitors the output voltage with a
window comparator and issues a power good
signal when the output is within 10% of the rated
output voltage.
