General Description
The AT1604 provides complete control and
protection for a DC-DC converter optimized for
high-performance microprocessor applications. It is
designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in a
synchronous-rectified buck topology. The AT1604
integrates all of the control, output adjustment,
monitoring and protection functions into a single
package.
The AT1604 includes a fully-TTL compatible 5-bit
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the
output voltage from 2.1V
DC
to 3.5V
DC
in 0.1V
increments and from 1.3V
to 2.1V
in 0.05V
steps. The precision reference and voltage–mode
regulator hold the selected output voltage to within
±
1% over temperature and line voltage variations.
The AT1604 provides simple, single feedback loop,
voltage-mode control with fast transient response. It
includes a 200kHz free-running triangle-wave
oscillator that is adjustable from below 50kHz to
over 1MHz. The error amplifier features a 12MHz
gain-bandwidth product and 6V/
μ
s slew rate which
enable high converter bandwidth for fast transient
performance. The resulting PWM duty ratio ranges
from 0% to 100%.
The AT1604 monitors the output voltage with a
window comparator that tracks the DAC output and
issues a Power Good signal when the output is
within
±
10% of the targeted value. The AT1604
protects
against
over-current
inhibiting PWM operation. Built-in over-voltage
protection triggers an external SCR to crowbar the
input supply. The AT1604 monitors the current by
using the r
of the upper MOSFET, which
eliminates the need for a current sensing resistor.
