Description
The PM6690 is a three phase step-down
switching controller with embedded gate drivers. It
has been designed to supply the CPU of the
®
Intel
mobile platform, according with INTEL
MVP7 specifications.
The controller is based on clocked constant ontime (CkCOT) architecture that allows nearly
constant switching frequency over load. The
controller ensures 120° phase shift PWM
operation when all the 3 phases are enabled.
An embedded integrator control loop
compensates the DC voltage error due to the
output voltage ripple. Load line of the output
voltage can be adjusted by setting a resistor
divider and it can be thermally compensated by
using 1 NTC.

Current monitor IMON provides an analog output
current proportional to the CPU load current.
1NTC can be used to sense the maximum
temperature of the switching regulator and
provide the temperature information to the CPU
through SVID bus.
Adjustable VID transitions feature, TOT feature,
extremely low shutdown current and quiescent
current make the PM6690 a very flexible and
cost-effective solution for IMVP7 CPU power
supply.
