need for a negative supply. A second PWM controller, which
requires external MOSFET drivers, is available for regulation
of the GMCH Core voltage. A sink/source LDO controller is
also integrated for the CPU/GMCH V termination voltage
regulation. Another LDO is available for the ICH7 voltage.

MOSFETs
The switching PWM controller drives two N-Channel
MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck converter
topology. The synchronous buck converter uses voltage-
mode control with fast transient response. The switching
regulator provides a maximum static regulation tolerance of
±2% over line, load, and temperature ranges. The output is
user-adjustable by means of external resistors down to 0.8V.
• 250kHz Constant Frequency Operation
- Both PWM controllers are Phase Shifted 180°
• Tight Output Voltage Regulation
- All Outputs: ±2% Over Temperature
• Fully-Adjustable Outputs with Wide Voltage Range: Down
to 0.8V supports DDR and DDR2 Specifications
An integrated soft-start feature brings all outputs into
regulation in a controlled manner when returning to S0/S1
state from any sleep state. During S0 the VIDPGD signal
