Advanced Dual PWM and Dual Linear
Power Controller
Features
• Provides 4 Regulated Voltages
- Microprocessor Core, AGP Bus, North/South Bridge
and/or Cache Memory, and GTL Bus Power
The HIP6020A provides the power control and protection for
four output voltages in high-performance, graphics intensive
microprocessor and computer applications. The IC
integrates two PWM controllers and two linear controllers, as
well as the monitoring and protection functions into a 28-pin
SOIC package. One PWM controller regulates the
microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified
buck converter. The second PWM controller supplies the
computer system’s AGP 1.5V or 3.3V bus power with a
standard buck converter. The linear controllers regulate
power for the 1.5V GTL bus and the 1.8V power for the
North/South Bridge core voltage and/or cache memory
circuits.

SELECT pin, for levels of 1.5V (±3%) or fully ON switch. The
linear regulators use external N-Channel MOSFETs or

The HIP6020A monitors all the output voltages. A single
Power Good signal is issued when the core is within 10% of
the DAC setting and all other outputs are above their under-
voltage levels. Additional built-in over-voltage protection for
the core output uses the lower MOSFET to prevent output
voltages above 115% of the DAC setting. The PWM
