GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3156 is a highly efficient synchronous buck switching
regulator controller optimized for converting the 3.3 V or 5 V
main supply into lower supply voltages required on the motherboards of Pentium
®
III and other high performance processor
systems. The ADP3156 uses a current mode, constant off-time
architecture to drive two external N-channel MOSFETs at a
programmable switching frequency that can be optimized for
size and efficiency. It also uses a unique supplemental regulation
technique called active voltage positioning to enhance load
transient performance. Active voltage positioning results in a
DC/DC converter that provides the best possible transient response using the minimum number of output capacitors and
smallest footprint. Unlike voltage-mode and standard currentmode architectures, active voltage positioning adjusts the output
voltage as a function of the load current so that it is always
optimally positioned for a system transient.
The ADP3156 provides accurate and reliable short circuit
protection and adjustable current limiting. It also includes an
integrated overvoltage crowbar function to protect the microprocessor from destruction in case the core supply exceeds the
nominal programmed voltage by more than 15%.

The ADP3156 contains a linear regulator controller that is
designed to drive an external N-channel MOSFET. This linear
regulator is used to generate the auxiliary voltages (AGP, GTL,
etc.) required in most motherboard designs, and has been designed to provide a high bandwidth load-transient response. A
pair of external feedback resistors sets the linear regulator output voltage.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily

accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the ADP3156 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
