DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
■ Designed To Drive A Synchronous Rectifier
The LX1660 and LX1661 Are Mono-
lithic Switching Regulator Controller
ICs designed to provide low-cost, high-
performance adjustable power supply for
microprocessors and other applications
requiring a fast transient response and a
high degree of accuracy. They provide
an adjustable synchronous Pulse Width
Modulator output suitable for a power
supply for Pentium® or other micropro-
cessors.
Synchronous Rectifier Driver For
CPU Core. The devices can drive dual
MOSFETs resulting in typical efficiencies
of 85 - 90%, even with loads in excess of
10A. Synchronous shutdown results in
increased efficiency in light load applica-
tions.
Short-Circuit Current Limiting
Without Expensive Current Sense Re-
Stage — Can Also Be Used In Non-
Synchronous Applications
■ Soft-Start Capability
■ Hiccup-Mode Fault Protection
■ No Current-Sense Resistor Required For
Current Limiting
■ Modulated Constant Off-Time Control
Mechanism For Fast Transient Response And
Simple System Design
sistors. The current sensing mechanism
can use a PCB trace resistance or the para-
sitic resistance of the main inductor. For
applications requiring a high degree of
accuracy, a conventional sense resistor
can be used.
Hiccup Mode Fault Protection. The
hiccup mode is programmable and with
pulse-by-pulse current limiting will help
protect the power supply system and load
in the even of a short circuit.
Ultra-Fast Transient Response Re-
duces System Cost. The fixed frequency
modulated off-time architecture results in
the fastest transient response for a given
inductor. Adaptive voltage positioning
(LX1661 only) requires fewer low-ESR ca-
pacitors to meet stringent transient over-
and under-shoot specifications.
