The LX1669 is a Monolithic Switching
Regulator Controller IC
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. It provides
a programmable switching regulator out-
put suitable for powering Pentium
II and
other processors.
Programmable Synchronous Recti-
fier Driver for CPU Core.
The main
output is adjustable from 1.3 to 3.5V using
a TTL-compatible 5-bit digital code to
meet Intel specifications. The IC can read
the signal from a DIP-switch, hardwired to
Pentium II processor’s pins or from soft-
ware. 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. The device can drive
dual MOSFET’s resulting in typical effi-
ciencies of 85 – 90%, even with loads in
excess of 10A.
Short-circuit Current Limiting with-
out Expensive Current Sense Resis-
tors.
The current sensing mechanism can
use a PCB trace resistance or the parasitic
resistance of the main inductor. For
applications requiring a high degree of
accuracy, a conventional sense resistor
can be used.
Ultra-Fast Transient Response Re-
duces System Cost.
The fixed frequency
modulated off-time architecture results in
the fastest transient response for a given
inductor.
Small Package Size.
The LX1669 is
available in an economical 16-pin narrow
body SOIC package.
