Advanced PWM and Dual Linear Power Control
The HIP6017B provides the power control and protection for three output voltages in high-performance microprocessor and computer applications. The IC integrates a PWM controller, a linear
regulator and a linear controller as well as the monitoring and protection functions into a single 28 lead SOIC package. The PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified buck converter. The linear controller regulates power for the GTL bus and the linear
regulator provides power for the clock driver circuits. The HIP6017B includes an Intel-compatible, TTL 5-input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the core PWM output voltage from 2.1VDC to 3.5VDC in 0.1V increments and from 1.3VDC to 2.05VDC in 0.05V steps. The precision reference and voltage-mode control provide ±1% static regulation. The linear
regulator uses an internal pass device to provide 2.5V ±2.5%. The linear controller drives an external N-Channel MOSFET to provide 1.5V ±2.5%. The HIP6017B monitors all the output voltages. A single Power Good signal is issued when the core is within 10% of the DAC setting and the other levels are above their undervoltage levels. Additional built-in over-voltage protection for the core output uses the lower MOSFET to prevent output voltages above 115% of the DAC setting. The PWM overcurrent function monitors the output current by using the vo...
