FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The US2076 eliminates the need for a
seperate switching controller IC
The US2076 is a dual function IC combining a
switching controller and a 7.5A adjustable low
dropout regulator all in a compact 7 pin TO220 and
TO263 surface mount packages providing a total so-
lution for dual supply processor applications such as
an Intel P55C ä , AMD K6ä , as well as Cyrix 6X86Lä
and the M2ä processors. Typically in these applications
a dual supply regulator converts 5V to 3.3V for I/O sup-
ply and a jumper programmable supply of 1.25V to 3.5V
for CORE supply.The linear regulator portion in the
US2076 is an adjustable one that can be programmed
to 3.30V output and has a minimum of 7.5A current ca-
pability designed to provide ample current for most ap-
plications. The US2076 uses an internal regulator gen-
erated from the 12V supply to power the switching con-
troller as well as the 12V supply to drive the power
MOSFET, allowing a low cost N channel MOSFET
switch to be used. The IC also includes an error com-
parator for fast transient response, a precise voltage ref-
erence for setting the output voltage as well as a direct
drive of the MOSFET for the minimum part count.
Minimum part count allows lower system cost
