SC1109
Synchronous PWM Controller with Dual
Low Dropout Regulator Controllers
POWER MANAGEMENT
Features
Description
The SC1109 was designed for the latest high speed Dual linear controllers
motherboards. It combines a synchronous voltage mode
controller (switching section) with two low-dropout linear
regulator controllers. The voltage mode controller pro-
vides the power supply for the system AGTL bus. The Dual
linear controllers power the chip set and clock circuitry.
LDOs track input voltage within 200mV (function of
the MOSFETs used) until regulation
Integrated drivers
Power good signal (SC1109A, SC1109B)
Soft start
Lossless current sense
The SC1109A switching section features lossless current
sensing, while SC1109C provides programmable over cur-
rent limit. SC1109 also utilizes latched driver outputs for
enhanced noise immunity. SC1109A and SC1109C oper-
ate at a fixed frequency of 200kHz, and the SC1109B is
available at a fixed frequency of 500kHz. The VTT output
voltage is internally fixed at 1.2V
Programmable over current limit (SC1109C)
200kHz (SC1109A, SC1109C), and 500kHz (SC1109B)
fixed frequency.
Applications
Pentium® III Motherboards
Triple power supplies
The SC1109 linear sections are low dropout regulators
designed to track the 3.3V power supply when it turns on
or off. The voltage for the linear controllers LDO1, and LDO2
are 1.8V/1.5V.
