DESCRIPTION
PATENT PENDING
PRELIMINARY DATASHEET
APPLICATIONS
Dual supply low voltage processor applications,
such as: P55C™,CYRIX M2™, POWER PC™ and
AMD K6™
The US2076 is a dual function IC combining a
switching controller and a 7.5A adjustable low
dropout regulator all in a compact 7 pin TO220 and
TO263 surface mount
packages providing a
total so-
lution
for dual supply processor applications such as
an
Intel P55C
™,
AMD K6™, as well as Cyrix 6X86L™
and the M2™processors.
Typically in these applications
a dual supply regulator converts 5V to 3.3V for I/O sup-
ply and a jumper programmable supply of 1.25V to 3.5V
for CORE supply.The linear regulator portion in the
US2076 is an adjustable one that can be programmed
to 3.30V output and has a minimum of 7.5A current ca-
pability designed to provide ample current for most ap-
plications. The US2076 uses an internal regulator gen-
erated from the 12V supply to power the switching con-
troller as well as the 12V supply to drive the power
MOSFET, allowing a low cost N channel MOSFET
switch to be used. The IC also includes an error com-
parator for fast transient response, a precise voltage ref-
erence for setting the output voltage as well as a direct
drive of the MOSFET for the minimum part count.

Note 1 :
Low duty cycle pulse testing with Kelvin con-
nections are required in order to maintain accurate data.
Note 2 :
Drop-out voltage is defined as the minimum
differential voltage between Vin and Vout required to main-
tain regulation at Vout. It is measured when the output
voltage drops 1% below its nominal value.
Note 3 :
Minimum load current is defined as the mini-
mum current required at the output in order for the out-
put voltage to maintain regulation. Typically the resistor
dividers are selected such that it automatically main-
tains this current.

PIN DESCRIPTION
A resistor divider from this pin to the output of the switching regulator and
ground sets the Core supply voltage.
The output of the linear regulator. A minimum of a 100uF low ESR capacitor must be
connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
The input pin of the linear regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected
from this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum
drop out voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be higher than
Vout plus the maximum dropout voltage in order for the device to regulate properly.
This pin is connected to the IC substrate and must be connected to the lowest
potential in the system. It is also connected to the Tab of the package.
The PWM output of the switching controller. This pin is a totem pole drive that is
connected to the gate of the power MOSFET. A resistor may be placed in series from
this pin to the gate in order to reduce switching noise.
A resistor divider from this pin to the output of the linear regulator and
ground sets the I/O supply voltage.
This pin is connected to the 12V supply voltage. A high frequency cap must be
connected from this pin to the GND pin of the IC.
