The HIP6020 provides the power control and protection for four output voltages in high-performance, graphics intensive microprocessor and computer applications. The IC integrates two PWM controllers and two linear controllers, as well as the monitoring and protection functions into a 28-pin SOIC package. One PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified buck converter. The second PWM controller supplies the computer system's AGP 1.5V or 3.3V bus power with a standard buck converter. The linear controllers regulate power for the 1.5V GTL bus and the 1.8V power for the North/South Bridge core voltage and/or cache memory circuits.
The HIP6020 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. The second PWM controller's output is userselectable, through a TTL-compatible signal applied at the SELECT pin, for levels of 1.5V or 3.3V with ±3% accuracy. The linear regulators use external N-Channel MOSFETs or bipolar NPN pass transistors to provide fixed output voltages of 1.5V ±3% (VOUT3) and 1.8V ±3% (VOUT4).
The HIP6020 monitors all the output voltages. A single Power Good signal is issued when the core is within ±10% of the DAC setting and all other outputs are above their under- voltage 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 controllers' over-current function monitors the output current by using the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON), eliminating the need for a current sensing resistor.
