LM2639
5-Bit Programmable, High Frequency Multi-phase PWM
Controller

General Description

The LM2639 provides an attractive solution for power sup­plies of high power microprocessors (such as Pentium II

™

,

MII

™

,K6™-2, K6™-3, etc.) exhibiting ultra fast load tran­sients. Compared to a conventional single-phase supply, an
LM2639 based multi-phase supply distributes the thermal
and electrical loading amongcomponentsin multiple phases
and greatly reduces the corresponding stress in each com­ponent. The LM2639 can be programmed to control either a
3-phase converter or a 4-phase converter. Phase shift
among the phases is 120˚ in the case of three phase and 90˚
with four-phase. Because the power channels are out of
phase, there can be significant ripple cancellation for both
the input and output current, resulting in reduced input and
output capacitor size. Due to the nominal operating fre­quency of 2 MHz per phase, the size of the output inductors
can be greatly reduced which results in a much faster load
transient response and a dramatically shrunk output capaci­tor bank. Microprocessor power supplies with all surface
mount components can be easily built.

The internal high speed transconductance amplifier guaran­tees good dynamic performance. The output drive voltages
can be adjusted through a resistor divider to control switch­ing loss in the external FETs.

The internal master clock frequency of up to 8 MHz is set by
an external reference resistor. An external clock of 10 MHz
can also be used to drive the chip to achieve frequency con­trol and multi-chip operation.

The LM2639 also provides input under-voltage lock-out with
hysteresis and input over-current protection.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits.
Note 2: Maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T

JMAX

, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, and the

ambient temperature, T

A

. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:

P

MAX

=

(T

JMAX−TA

)/

θ

JA

.

The

junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ

JA

, for LM2639 is 78˚C/W. For a T

JMAX

of 150˚C and TAof 25˚C, the maximum allowable power dissipation is 1.6W.

Note 3: The letter

N

stands for the typical output voltages appearing in

italic boldface

type in

Table 1

.

Note 4: Maxvalue of logic low means any voltage below this value is guaranteed to be taken as logic low whereas a voltage higher than this value is not guaranteed
to be taken as a logic low.

Note 5: Minvalueof logic high means any voltage above this value is guaranteed to be taken as logic high whereas a voltage lower than this value is not guaranteed
to be taken as a logic high.

Note 6: When driving bipolar FET drivers in the typical application circuit.
Note 7: When Vcc12V pin goes below this voltage, all DRV pins go to 0V.
Note 8: ESD ratings for pins DRV0, DRV1, DRV2 and DRV3 is 1kV. ESD rating for all other pins is 2kV.
