GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP3153 is a highly efficient synchronous switching regu-

lator controller and a linear regulator controller. The switching

regulator controller is optimized for Pentium II and Deschutes

Processor applications where 5 V is stepped down to a digitally

controlled output voltage between 1.8 V and 3.5 V. Using a 5-bit

DAC to read a voltage identification (VID) code directly from

the processor, the ADP3153 uses a current mode constant off-

time architecture to generate its precise output voltage.

The ADP3153 drives two N-channel MOSFETS in a synchro-

nous rectified buck converter, at a maximum switching fre-

quency of 250 kHz. Using the recommended loop compensation

and guidelines, the ADP3153 provides a dc/dc converter that

meets Intel’s stringent transient specifications with a minimum

number of output capacitors and smallest footprint. Addition-

ally, the current mode architecture also provides guaranteed

short circuit protection and adjustable current limiting.

The ADP3153’s linear regulator controller drives an external

N-channel device. The output voltage is set by the ratio of the

external feedback resistors. The controller has been designed for

excellent load transient response.
