DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
I 5-bit Programmable Output For CPU Core
The LX1662/62A and LX1663/63A are
Monolithic Switching Regulator Con-
troller IC’s designed to provide a low cost,
high performance adjustable power supply
for advanced microprocessors and other
applications requiring a very fast transient
response and a high degree of accuracy.
Short-Circuit Current Limiting with-
out Expensive Current Sense Resistors.
Current-sensing mechanism can use PCB
trace resistance or the parasitic resistance of
the main inductor. The LX1662A and
LX1663A have reduced current sense com-
parator threshold for optimum perfor-
mance using a PCB trace. For applications
requiring a high degree of accuracy, a
conventional sense resistor can be used to
sense current.
Programmable Synchronous Recti-
fier Driver for CPU Core. The main
output is adjustable from 1.3V to 3.5V using
a 5-bit code. The IC can read a VID signal
set by a DIP switch on the motherboard, or
hardwired into the processor’s package (as
in the case of Pentium® Pro and Pentium II
processors). The 5-bit code adjusts the
output voltage between 1.30 and 2.05V in
50mVincrementsandbetween2.0and3.5V
in 100mV increments, conforming to the
Intel Corporation specification. The device
candrivedualMOSFET’sresultingintypical
efficiencies of 85 - 90% even with loads in
excess of 10 amperes. For cost sensitive
applications, the bottom MOSFET can be
replaced with a Schottky diode (non-syn-
chronous operation).
Smallest Package Size. The LX1662 is
available in a narrow body 14-pin surface
mount IC package for space sensitive appli-
cations. TheLX1663providestheadditional
functions of Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
and Power Good (PWRGD) output drives
for applications requiring output voltage
monitoring and protection functions.
Ultra-Fast Transient Response Re-
duces System Cost. The modulated off-
time architecture results in the fastest tran-
sient response for a given inductor, reduc-
ing output capacitor requirements, and re-
ducing the total regulator system cost.
Over-Voltage Protection and Power
Good Flag. The OVP output in the LX1663
& LX1663A can be used to drive an SCR
crowbar circuit to protect the load in the
event of a short-circuit of the main MOSFET.
The LX1663 & LX1663A also have a logic-
level Power Good Flag to signal when the
output voltage is out of specified limits.
