DESCRI PTI O N
The LX1676 is a highly integrated
VRM power supply controller IC
featuring
two
PWM
switching
regulator stages.
The
two
constant
frequency
voltage-mode
PWM
phases
are
configured as a single biphase high
current output core supply.
In biphase operation, the high
current (>25A) output is generated by
a LoadSHARETM technique that
balances the currents in the two
phases. Power loss and noise, due to
the ESR of the input capacitors, are
minimized by operating the PWMs
180° out of phase.
A
synchronized
Transient
Correction Loop provides except-
ional control of the output droop and
overshoot during very high di/dt load
changes, the circuit can be configured
for droop only, overshoot only or
both.
This architecture also minimizes
capacitor
requirements
while
maximizing regulator response.
A true differential input amplifier is
used for remote voltage sensing at the
processor core.
A VID code generator provides an
internal reference that will set the
output voltage. This VID code can be
changed during operation and the
reference will slew the output voltage to
its new setting at a preset rate. During
VID changes on the fly the Power Good
indication will stay valid.
Current through the lower phase 1
MOSFET will be sampled using its
RDS(ON) for current limit and shut
down.
For further protection, an over
voltage circuit will trip at a specified
setting and clamp the output by turning
off the upper MOSFETs and turning on
the lower MOSFETs.
The upper MOSFET drivers will use
a bootstrap capacitor to provide the
upper drive voltage over the input
voltage range of 6 to 24 volts.
