DESCRIPTION
The device is a power supply controller specifically de-
signed to provide a high performance DC/DC conver-
sion for high current microprocessors. A precise 5-bit
digital to analog converter (DAC) allows adjusting the
output voltage from 1.30V to 2.05V with 50mV binary
steps and from 2.10V to 3.50V with 100mV binary steps.
The high precision internal reference assures the se-
lected output voltage to be within ±1%. The high peak
current gate drive affords to have fast switching to the
external power mos providing low switching losses.
The device assures a fast protection against load
overcurrent and load overvoltage. An external SCR is
triggered to crowbar the input supply in case of hard
over-voltage. An internal crowbar is also provided
turning on the low side mosfet as long as the over-
voltage is detected. In case of over-current detection,
the soft start capacitor is discharged and the system
works in HICCUP mode.

4 - 8 VID0 - 4 Voltage Identification Code pins. These input are internally pulled-up and TTL compatible. They
are used to program the output voltage as specified in Table 1 and to set the overvoltage and
power good thresholds.
Connect to GND to program a ‘0’ while leave floating to program a ‘1’.
9 COMP This pin is connected to the error amplifier output and is used to compensate the voltage control
feedback loop.
10 FB This pin is connected to the error amplifier inverting input and is used to compensate the voltage
control feedback loop.
11 GND All the internal references are referred to this pin. Connect it to the PCB signal ground.
12 PGOOD This pin is an open collector output and is pulled low if the output voltage is not within the above
specified thresholds.
If not used may be left floating.
13 PHASE This pin is connected to the source of the upper mosfet and provides the return path for the high
side driver. This pin monitors the drop across the upper mosfet for the current limit
14 UGATE High side gate driver output.
15 BOOT Bootstrap capacitor pin. Through this pin is supplied the high side driver and the upper mosfet.
Connect through a capacitor to the PHASE pin and through a diode to Vcc (cathode vs. boot).
16 PGND Power ground pin. This pin has to be connected closely to the low side mosfet source in order to
reduce the noise injection into the device
17 LGATE This pin is the lower mosfet gate driver output
18 VCC Device supply voltage. The operative nominal supply voltage ranges from 5 to 12V.

19 OVP Over voltage protection. If the output voltage reaches the 17% above the programmed voltage
this pin is driven high and can be used to drive an external SCR that crowbar the supply voltage.
If not used, it may be left floating.
20 RT Oscillator switching frequency pin. Connecting an external resistor from this pin to GND, the
external frequency is increased according to the equation:
Connecting a resistor from this pin to Vcc (12V), the switching frequency is reduced according to
the equation:
If the pin is not connected, the switching frequency is 200KHz.
