DESCRIPTION
The LX1662/62A and LX1663/63A are
Monolithic Switching Regulator Controller
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 without
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 comparator threshold for optimum
performance using a PCB trace. For applications
requiring a high degree of accuracy, a
conventional sense resistor can be used to sense
current.
Programmable Synchronous Rectifier 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 50mV
increments and between 2.0 and 3.5V in 100mV
increments, conforming to the Intel Corporation
specification. The device can drive dual
MOSFET’s resulting in typical 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-synchronous operation).
Smallest Package Size. The LX1662 is available
in a narrow body 14-pin surface mount IC
package for space sensitive applications. The
LX1663 provides the additional 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 Reduces
System Cost. The modulated offtime architecture
results in the fastest transient response for a given
inductor, reducing output capacitor requirements,
and reducing 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 logiclevel Power Good
Flag to signal when the output voltage is out of
specified limits.
