DESCRIPTION
The SC1162/3 combines a synchronous
voltage mode controller with a low-dropout linear regulator providing most of the circuitry necessary to implement two DC/ DC converters for powering advanced microprocessors ® such as Pentium II. The SC1162/3 switching section features an integrated 5 bit D/A converter, pulse by pulse current limiting, integrated power good signaling, and logic compatible shutdown. The SC1162/3 switching section operates at a fixed frequency of 200kHz, providing an optimum compromise between size, efficiency and cost in the intended application areas. The integrated D/A converter provides programmability of output
voltage from 2.0V to 3.5V in 100mV increments and 1.30V to 2.05V in 50mV increments with no external components. The SC1162/3 linear section is a high performance positive
voltage regulator design for either the GTL bus supply at 1.5V (SC1162) or an adjustable output (SC1163). The output of the linear regulator can provide up to 5A or more with the appropriate external
MOSFET.
