General Description
The HT82P604B provides complete control and
protection for a DC-DC converter optimized for
high performance microprocessor applications.
It is designed to drive two N-Channel
MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck to-
pology. The HT82P604B integrates all of the
control, output adjustment, monitoring and
protection functions into a single package.
sient response. It includes a 200kHz
free-running triangle-wave oscillator that is
adjustable from below 50kHz to over 1MHz.
The error amplifier features a 15MHz
gain-bandwidth product and 6V/ms slew rate
which enables high converter bandwidth for
fast transient performance. The resulting
PWM duty ratio ranges from 0% to 100%.
The output voltage of the converter is easily ad-
justed and precisely regulated. The HT82P604B
includes a 5-input digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) that adjusts the output voltage from 2.1V
to 3.5V in 0.1V increments and from 1.3V to
2.05V in 0.05V steps. The precision reference
and voltage-mode regulator hold the selected
output voltage to within ±1% over temperature
andlinevoltagevariations.
The HT82P604B monitors the output voltage
with a window comparator that tracks the DAC
output and issues a Power Good signal when
the output is within ±10%. The HT82P604B
protects against over-current conditions by in-
hibiting PWM operation. Built-in over-voltage
protection triggers an external SCR to crowbar
the input supply. The HT82P604B monitors the
current by using the rDS
of the upper
(ON)
MOSFET which eliminates the need for a cur-
rent sensing resistor.
The HT82P604B provides simple, single feed-
back loop, voltage-mode control with fast tran-
