The HIP6021 provides the power control and protection for four output voltages in high-performance, graphics intensive microprocessor and computer applications. The IC integrates a voltage-mode PWM controller and three linear controllers, as well as the monitoring and protection functions into a 28-pin SOIC package. The PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified buck converter. The linear controllers regulate the computer system’s AGP 1.5V or 3.3V bus power, the 1.5V GTL bus power, and the 1.8V power for the North/South Bridge core voltage and/or cache memory circuits. The HIP6021 includes an Intel-compatible, TTL 5-input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the core PWM output voltage from 1.3VDC to 2.05VDC in 0.05V steps and from 2.1VDC to 3.5VDC in 0.1V increments. The precision reference and voltage-mode control provide ±1% static regulation.
