The APW6021 provides the power control and protection for four output voltages in high-performance,
graphics intensive microprocessor and computer
applications. The IC integrates voltage-mode PWM
controller and three linear controllers, as well as the
monitoring and protection functions into a 28-pin SOIC
package. The PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified
buck converter. The linear controllers regulate the
computer system’s AGP 1.5V or 3.3V bus power, the
1.5V GTL bus power, and the 1.8V power for the
North/South Bridge core voltage and/or cache
memory circuits. The APW6021 includes an Intelcompatible, TTL 5-input digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) that adjusts the core PWM output voltage from
1.3 VDC to 2.05 VDC in 0.05V steps and from 2.1 VDC to
3.5 VDC in 0.1V increments. The precision reference
and voltage-mode control provide ±1% static
regulation. The AGP bus power linear controller’s
output (V
patible signal applied at the SELECT pin, for levels of
1.5V or 3.3V with ±3% accuracy. Based on the status of the FIX pin, the other two linear regulators provide either fixed output voltages of 1.5V± 3% (V
and 1.8V±3% (V
of an external resistor divider. All linear controllers
can employ either N-channel MOSFETs or bipolar
NPNs for the pass transistor.

ANPEC reserves the right to make changes to improve reliability or manufacturability without notice, and advise
customers to obtain the latest version of relevant information to verify before placing orders.
The APW6021 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 builtin over-voltage protection for the core output uses
the lower MOSFET to prevent output voltages above
115% of the DAC setting. The PWM controller’s overcurrent function monitors the output current by using
the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET’s r

Connect this pin to the gate of an external MOSFET.
This pin provides the drive for the AGP regulator’s
pass transistor.
FIX (Pin 2)
Grounding this pin bypasses the internal resistor dividers that set the output voltage of the 1.5V and 1.
8V linear regulators. This way, the output voltage of
the two regulators can be adjusted from 1.26V up to
the input voltage (+3.3V or +5V) by way of an exter-
nal resistor divider connected at the corresponding
VSEN pin. The new output voltage set by the external resistor divider can be determined using the following formula:
V
=1.265V × [1+R
OUT
where R
the output of the regulator, and R
connected from VSEN to ground. Left open, the FIX
pin is pulled high, enabling fixed output voltage
operation.
VID0-4 are the TTL-compatible input pins to the 5-bit
DAC. The logic states of these five pins program the
internal voltage reference (DACOUT). The level of
DACOUT sets the microprocessor core converter
output voltage, as well as the corresponding PGOOD
and OVP thresholds.
PGOOD (Pin 8)
PGOOD is an open collector output used to indicate
the status of the output voltages. This pin is pulled
low when the synchronous regulator output is not
within ±10% of the DACOUT reference voltage or
when any of the other outputs are below their under-
voltage thresholds.
The PGOOD output is open for“11111” VID code.
SD (Pin 9)
This pin shuts down all the outputs. A TTLcompatible, logic level high signal applied at this
pin immediately discharges the soft-start capacitor,
disabling all the outputs. Dedicated internal circuitry
insures the core output voltage does not go negative
during this process. When re-enabled, the IC undergoes a new soft-start cycle. Left open, this pin is pulled
low by an internal pull-down resistor, enabling
operation.
SS (Pin 12)
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This
capacitor, along with an internal 28µA current source,
sets the soft-start interval of the converter.
FAULT / RT (Pin 13)
This pin provides oscillator switching frequency
adjustment. By placing a resistor (RT) from this pin to
GND, the nominal 200kHz switching frequency is increased according to the following equation:
Fs =200kHz + 5 × 10
6
/ RT (kΩ)(RT to GND)
Conversely, connecting a resistor from this pin to VCC
reduces the switching frequency according to the following equation:
Fs =200kHz + 4 × 10
7
/ RT (kΩ)(RT to 12V)
Nominally, the voltage at this pin is 1.26V. In the event
of an over-voltage or over-current condition, this pin
is internally pulled to VCC.
VSEN4 (Pin 14)
Connect this pin to the output of the linear 1.8V
regulator. This pin is monitored for undervoltage
events.
DRIVE4 (Pin 15)
VSEN2 (Pin 10)
Connect this pin to the output of the AGP linear
regulator. The voltage at this pin is regulated to the
level predetermined by the logic-level status of the
SELECT pin. This pin is also monitored for undervoltage events.
SELECT (Pin 11)
This pin determines the output voltage of the AGP
bus linear regulator. A low TTL input sets the output
voltage to 1.5V, while a high input sets the output
voltage to 3.3V.
Connect this pin to the gate of an external MOSFET.
This pin provides the drive for the 1.8V regulator’s
pass transistor.
VAUX (Pin 16)
This pin provides boost current for the linear regulators’ output drives in the event bipolar NPN transistors (instead of N-channel MOSFETs) are employed
as pass elements. The voltage at this pin is monitored for power-on reset (POR) purposes.
GND (Pin 17)
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with respect to this pin.

DRIVE3 (Pin 18)
Connect this pin to the gate of an external MOSFET.
This pin provides the drive for the 1.5V regulator’s
pass transistor.
VSEN3 (Pin 19)
Connect this pin to the output of the 1.5V linear
regulator. This pin is monitored for under-voltage
events.
COMP and FB (Pin 20, and 21)
COMP and FB are the available external pins of the
PWM converter error amplifier. The FB pin is the inverting input of the error amplifier. Similarly, the COMP
pin is the error amplifier output. These pins are used
to compensate the voltage-mode control feedback
loop of the synchronous PWM converter.
VSEN1 (Pin 22)
This pin is connected to the PWM converter’s output
voltage. The PGOOD and OVP comparator circuits
use this signal to report output voltage status and for
over- voltage
protection.
LGATE (Pin 25)
Connect LGATE to the PWM converter’s lower
MOSFET gate. This pin provides the gate drive for
the lower MOSFET.
PHASE (Pin 26)
Connect the PHASE pin to the PWM converter’s upper MOSFET source. This pin represents the gate
drive return current path and is used to monitor the
voltage drop across the upper MOSFET for over-current protection.
UGATE (Pin 27)
Connect UGATE pin to the PWM converter’s upper
MOSFET gate. This pin provides the gate drive for
the upper MOSFET.
VCC (Pin 28)
Provide a 12V bias supply for the IC to this pin. This
pin also provides the gate bias charge for all the
MOSFETs controlled by the IC. The voltage at this
pin is monitored for Power-On Reset (POR) purposes.
OCSET (Pin 23)
Connect a resistor from this pin to the drain of the
respective upper MOSFET. This resistor, an internal
200µA current source, and the upper MOSFET’s onresistance set the converter over-current trip point.
An over-current trip cycles the soft-start function.
The voltage at this pin is monitored for power-on reset (POR) purposes and pulling this pin low with an
open drain device will shutdown the IC.
PGND (Pin 24)
This is the power ground connection. Tie the synchronous PWM converter’s lower MOSFET source
to this pin.
