IRU3004
5-BIT PROGRAMMABLE SYNCHRONOUS BUCK
CONTROLLER IC WITH DUAL LDO CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The IRU3004 controller IC is specifically designed to meet
Intel specifications for Pentium III™ microprocessor
applications as well as the next generation P6 family
processors. The IC provides a single chip controller IC
for the Vcore, GTL+ and clock supplies required for the
Pentium III applications. The IRU3004 features a pat-
ented topology, that in combination with a few external
components as shown in the typical application circuit,
will provide in excess of 20A of output current for an on-
board DC-DC converter while automatically providing the
right output voltage via the 5-bit internal DAC meeting
the latest VRM specification. The IRU3004 also features
loss-less current sensing by using the R
DS(on)
of the high
side power MOSFET as the sensing resistor and a Power
Good window comparator that switches its open collec-
tor output low when the output is outside of a
±10%
window. Other features of the device are: under-voltage
lockout for both 5V and 12V supplies, an external pro-
grammable soft-start function as well as programming
the oscillator frequency by using an external capacitor.

PIN DESCRIPTION
This pin programs the oscillator frequency in the range of 50KHz to 500KHz with an
external capacitor connected from this pin to the ground.
This pin controls the gate of an external transistor for either the GTL+ linear regulator or
Clock supply.
This pin provides the feedback for the linear regulator that its output drive is Lin1 pin.
This pin provides the feedback for the linear regulator that its output drive is Lin2 pin.
5V supply voltage.
This pin is an open collector output that switches LO when the output of the converter is
not within
±10%
(typical) of the nominal output voltage. When Power Good pin switches
LO the sat voltage is less than 0.4V at 3mA.
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 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 resis-
tor programs the CS threshold depending on the R
DS
of the power MOSFET. An external
capacitor is placed in parallel with the programming resistor to provide high frequency
noise filtering.
Output driver for the high-side power MOSFET.
This pin serves as the ground pin and must be connected directly to the ground plane. A
high frequency capacitor (0.1 to 1mF) must be connected from V5 and V12 pins to this
pin for noise free operation.
Output driver for the synchronous power MOSFET.
This pin is connected to the 12 V supply and serves as the power Vcc pin for the output
drivers. A high frequency capacitor (0.1 to 1mF) must be connected directly from this pin
to ground pin in order to supply the peak current to the power MOSFET duringthe transi-
tions.
This pin provides the soft-start for the switching regulator. An internal current source
charges an external capacitor that is connected from this pin to the ground which ramps
up the outputs of the switching regulator, preventing the outputs from overshooting as
well as 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 is connected directly to the output of the Core supply to provide feedback to the
Error comparator.
This pin selects a range of output voltages for the DAC. When in the LOW state the
range is 1.3V to 2.05V. For VID codes of all "1" the IRU3004 keeps all the outputs on.
MSB input to the DAC that programs the output voltage. This pin can be pulled-up exter-
nally by a 10K resistor to either 3.3V or 5V supply.
Input to the DAC that programs the output voltage. This pin can be pulled up externally
by a 10K resistor to either 3.3V or 5V supply.
Input to the DAC that programs the output voltage. This pin can be pulled up externally
by a 10KV resistor to either 3.3V or 5V supply.
LSB input to the DAC that programs the output voltage. This pin can be pulled-up exter-
nally by a 10K resistor to either 3.3V or 5V supply.
This pin controls the gate of an external transistor for either the GTL+ linear regulator or
Clock supply.
