The LX1664/64A and LX1665/65A are
monolithic switching regulator controller IC’s designed to provide a low cost,
high performance adjustable power supply
for advanced microprocessors and other
applications requiring a very fast transient
response and a high degree of accuracy.
Short-circuit Current Limiting with-
out Expensive Current Sense Resistors.
Current-sensing mechanism can use PCB
trace resistance or the parasitic resistance of
the main inductor. The LX1664A andLX1665A have reduced current sense comparator threshold for optimum performance using a sense resistor. For applications requiring a high degree of accuracy, a
conventional sense resistor can be used to
sense current.
Programmable Synchronous Recti-
fier Driver for CPU Core. The main
output is adjustable from 1.3V to 3.5V using
a 5-bit code. The IC can read a VID signal

set by a DIP switch on the motherboard, or
hardwired into the processor’s package (as
in the case of Pentium
®
Pro and Pentium II
processors). The 5-bit code adjusts the
output voltage between 1.30 and 2.05V in
50mV increments and between 2.0 and 3.5V
in 100mV increments, conforming to the
Intel Corporation specification. The device
can drive dual MOSFET’s resulting in typical
efficiencies of 85 - 90% even with loads in
excess of 10 amperes. For cost sensitive
applications, the bottom MOSFET can be
replaced with a Schottky diode (non-synchronous operation).
Linear Regulator Driver. The LX1664/
65 family of devices have a secondary
regulator output. This can drive a MOSFET
or bipolar transistor as a pass element to
construct a low-cost adjustable linear regulator suitable for powering a 1.5V GTL+ bus
or 2.5V clock supply.

DESCRIPTION (con't.)
Smallest Package Size. The LX1664 is
available in a narrow body 16-pin surface
mount IC package for space sensitive applications. The LX1665 provides the additional
functions of Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
and Power Good (PWRGD) output drives
for applications requiring output voltage
monitoring and protection functions.
Ultra-Fast Transient Response re-
duces system cost. The modulated off-
time architecture results in the fastest tran-
sient response for a given inductor, reducing output capacitor requirements, and reducing the total regulator system cost.
Over-Voltage Protection and Power
Good Flag. The OVP output in the LX1665
& LX1665A can be used to drive an SCR
crowbar circuit to protect the load in the
event of a short-circuit of the main MOSFET.
The LX1665 & LX1665A also have a logiclevel Power Good Flag to signal when the
output voltage is out of specified limits.

Note:
Adaptive Transient Voltage Output
In order to improve transient response a 40mV
offset is built into the Current Sense comparator.
At high currents, the peak output voltage will be
lower than the nominal set point, as shown in
Figure 1. The actual output voltage will be a
function of the sense resistor, the output current
and output ripple.
