DESCRIPTION
The device is a power supply controller specifically
designed to provide a high performance DC/DC con-
version for high current microprocessors.
The device implements a dual-phase step-down con-
troller with a 180° phase-shift between each phase.
■ DIGITAL 2048 STEP SOFT-START
■
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
■
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION REALIZED
USING THE LOWER MOSFET’S R
OR A
dsON
SENSE RESISTOR
A precise 5-bit digital to analog converter (DAC) al-
lows adjusting the output voltage from 1.100V to
1.850V with 25mV binary steps.
■
■
300 kHz INTERNAL OSCILLATOR
OSCILLATOR EXTERNALLY ADJUSTABLE
UP TO 1MHz
■ POWER GOOD OUTPUT AND INHIBIT
The high precision internal reference assures the se-
lected output voltage to be within ±0.8%. The high
peak current gate drive affords to have fast switching
to the external power mos providing low switching
losses.
FUNCTION
■
REMOTE SENSE BUFFER
■ PACKAGE: SO-28
APPLICATIONS
■ POWER SUPPLY FOR SERVER AND
The device assures a fast protection against load
over current and load over/under voltage. An internal
crowbar is provided turning on the low side mosfet if
an over-voltage is detected. In case of over-current
or under voltage, the system works in HICCUP mode.
