DESCRIPTION
The L6610 is a control and housekeeping IC developed in BCD technology; it is intended for acting at the secondary side of desktop PC's or server's switching power supplies, in presence of standard voltage rails (+3.3V,
±5V, ±12V) generated by a main conve rter and of a supply line gen erated by an auxi liar y c onverter. The typic al
application circuit is showed on the front page.
The Housekeeping's main function is to control and monitor the voltages generated by both the main and the
auxiliary converter: it senses those voltages, sends feedback signals to the primary controllers for regulation
and, upon detection of an undervoltage (UV), overvoltage (OV) or overcur rent (OC) condition, reports such fault
and takes proper action to protect the system.
However, the peculiar feature of this IC is its digital programming capability that enables an accurate trimming
of the output voltage rails during product ion test via soft ware, without any use of ex ternal dis crete trimming components or need for manual intervention on the PSU. It is also possible to program some of the monitoring functions and select how UV and OC conditions are handled in the main converter: whether latched-mode (the
information is latched and released only by forcing the restart of the IC) or bouncing-mode (an attempt is made
to automatically restart the converter after 1 second wait).
A key feature of this IC is its contribution to a very low external component count. Besides the extensive use of
onboard programmable switches, which prevents the need for external trimming components, the IC embeds
reference voltages, error amplifiers and most of the housekeeping circuitry normally required.

Input pin for 12V current sense. Together with the 12V OV/UV sense pin (#24), this pin measures
the voltage across a current sense resistor in series with the output. If the load current exceeds a

Whenever one of the Main output voltage s is detected go ing above its own OVP threshold, this
function set MFAULT (#1) high latching the outputs off. The latch is released after cycling PS-ON
(#15) switch or by reducing Vdd (#12) below the UV threshold.
Whenever one of the Main output voltages is detected going und er its own UVP threshold, this
function sets M FAULT (#1) high; if latc h mode has been selected, this fu nction will be latched.
Otherwise an attempt wi ll be made to restar t the device after 1 se cond delay. If ACsns (#13) is
low due to a brownout condition, UVP is disabled.
Whenever either the 5V (or 3V3, digitally selectable) or the 12V output experiences an
overcurrent condition, th e OCP function will force MFAU LT ( #1) high. If latch mode has b een
selected, this conditi on will be latche d otherwise an attem pt is made to resta r t the supply after a

must not intervene to allow all outputs to come within tolerance. 64 ms timing is provided; for the
auxiliar y converter the timin g star ts as the IC has a valid supply, for the main converter it star ts
as the ACsns pin detects a valid input voltage for the converter.

threshold th e PW-OK pin (# 14) will b e kept low for addit ional 250 ms (typ.) to ma ke sure all the

Power-off delay. As soon as PS-ON (#15) pin is recognized high, indicating an imminent turn-off
condition, PW-OK (#14) p in will go low immediately . The conver ter will be turned off after a
delay of 2.5ms.

To prevent false signals of any of IC’s output pins, an under voltage lock-out circuit monitors Vdd

Dmon (#10) is monitored to detect an undervoltage condition; in this case MFAULT (#1) is
