5-BIT PROGRAMMABLE SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONTROLLER IC,
LDO CONTROLLER AND 200mA ON-BOARD LDO REGULATOR
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Provides single chip solution for Vcore, GTL+ & clock The IRU3018 controller IC is specifically designed to meet
supply
Intel specification for Pentium IIä microprocessor appli-

cations as well as the next generation of P6 family pro-
Designed to meet the latest Intel specification for cessors. The IRU3018 provides a single chip controller
Pentium IIä IC for the Vcore, LDO controller for GTL+ and an internal
On-Board DAC programs the output voltage from 200mA regulator for clock supply which are required for
1.3V to 3.5V the Pentium II applications. These devices feature a pat-
Linear regulator controller on board for 1.5V GTL+ ented topology that in combination with a few external
supply
components as shown in the typical application circuit,
will provide in excess of 18A of output current for an on-
Loss-less Short Circuit Protection with HICCUP
Synchronous operation allows maximum efficiency board DC-DC converter while automatically providing the
patented architecture allows fixed frequency opera- right output voltage via the 5-bit internal DAC. The
tion as well as 100% duty cycle during dynamic IRU3018 also features loss-less current sensing for both
