DESCRIPTION
The AIC1579 is a high-power, high-efficiency
voltage-mode switching regulator controller for
motherboard V
Designed to drive an N-channel MOSFET in a
standard buck topology, the AIC1579 features a
high voltage CMOS output driver, short-circuit
protection, and 8-pin package.
An external 4-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) can be used along with the AIC1579 to
adjust the output voltage from 2.0V to 3.5V in
0.1V increments. Table 1 on the following page
specifies the corresponding output voltage for
16 combinations of DAC inputs as in the typical
application circuit.
The 200KHz switching frequency allows for
using small external components while
maintaining high conversion efficiency. The
11MHz bandwidth and 6V/µS slew rate of the
error amplifier ensures high converter
bandwidth and fast transient response.
power supply applications.
I/O
The AIC1579 provides adjustable overcurrent
and short-circuit protections by sensing the
output current across the on resistance of the
external N-channel MOSFET rather than an
external low value sense resistor.
The AIC1579L provides lower reference voltage
(1.30V) than the default (2.00V, AIC1579) for
lower V
