PRELIMINARY DATASHEET
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
The US3018 controller IC is specifically designed to meet
Intel specification for Pentium II microprocessor applications as well as the next generation of P6 family
processors. The US3018 provides a single chip con-
troller IC for the Vcore , LDO controller for GTL+
and an internal 200mA regulator for clock supply
which are required for the Pentium II applications.
These devices feature a patented topology that in combination with a few external components as shown in
the typical application circuit ,will provide in excess of
18A of output current for an on- board DC/DC converter
while automatically providing the right output voltage via
the 5 bit internal DAC. The US3018 also features, loss
less current sensing for both switchers by using the
Rds-on of the high side Power MOSFET as the sensing resistor, internal current limiting for the clock
supply, a Power Good window comparator that switches
its open collector output low when any one of the outputs is outside of a pre programmed window. Other features of the device are ; Undervoltage lockout for both
5V and 12V supplies, an external programmable soft
start function , programming the oscillator frequency via
an external resistor, OVP circuitry for both switcher outputs and an internal thermal shutdown.

This pin is an open collector output that switches LO when any of the outputs are
outside of the specified under voltage trip point. It also switches low when Vsen1 pin is
more than 10% above the DAC voltage setting.
This pin provides the feedback for the synchronous switching regulator. Typically this
pin can be connected directly to the output of the switching regulator. However, a
resistor divider is recommended to be connected from this pin to vout1 and GND to
adjust the output voltage for any drop in the output voltage that is caused by the trace
resistance. The value of the resistor connected from Vou1 to FB1 must be less than
100Ω.

Pin Description
This pin is internally connected to the undervoltage and overvoltage comparators sensing
the Vcore status. It must be connected directly to the Vcore supply.
This pin is the input that provides power for the internal LDO regulator. It is also monitored
for the under voltage and over voltage conditions.
This pin is connected to the Drain of the power MOSFET of the Core supply and it
provides the positive sensing for the internal current sensing circuitry. An external resistor programs the C.S threshold depending on the Rds of the power MOSFET. An external
capacitor is placed in parallel with the programming resistor to provide high frequency
noise filtering.
This pin is connected to the Source of the power MOSFET for the Core supply and it
provides the negative sensing for the internal current sensing circuitry.
This pin provides the soft start for the switching regulator. An internal resistor charges an
external capacitor that is conected from 5V supply to this pin which ramps up the outputs
of the switching regulators, preventing the outputs from overshooting as wellas limiting
the input current. The second function of the Soft Start cap is to provide long off time
(HICCUP) for the synchronous MOSFET during current limiting.
This pin has dual function. It acts as an output of the OVP circuitry or it can be used to
program the frequency using an external resistor . When used as a fault detector, if the
switcher output exceed the OVP trip point, the FAULT pin switches to 12V and the soft
start cap is discharged. If the FAULT pin is to be connected to any external circuitry, it
needs to be buffered as shown in the application circuit.
This pin controls the gate of an external transistor for the 1.5V GTL+ linear regulator.
This pin provides the feedback for the linear regulator that its output drive is GATE3.
This pin is the output of the internal LDO regulator.
This pin provides the feedback for the internal LDO regulator that its output is Vout4.
This pin serves as the ground pin and must be conected directly to the ground plane.
This pin serves as the Power ground pin and must be conected directly to the GND plane
close to the source of the synchronous MOSFET. A high frequency capacitor (typically 1
uF) must be connected from V12 pin to this pin for noise free operation.
Output driver for the synchronous power MOSFET for the Core supply.
Output driver for the high side power MOSFET for the Core supply.
This pin is connected to the 12 V supply and serves as the power Vcc pin for the output
drivers. A high frequency capacitor (typically 1 uF) must be placed close to this pin and
PGND pin and be connected directly from this pin to the GND plane for the noise free
operation.
5V supply voltage. A high frequency capacitor (0.1 to 1 uF) must be placed close to this
pin and connected from this pin to the GND plane for noise free operation.
This pin is a TTL compatible Enable pin. When this pin is left open or pulled high, the
device is enabled and when is pulled low, it will disable the switcher and the LDO
controller (Vout 3) leaving the internal 200mA regulator operational. When signal is
given to enable the device, both switcher and Vout 3 will go through soft start, the
same as during start up.
