DESCRIPTION
The US3011controller IC is specifically designed to meet
Intel specification for latest Pentium III™ microproces-
sor applications as well as the next generation P6 fam-
ily processors. These products feature a patented topol-
ogy 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.These devices also
features,
loss less current sensing by using the Rds-
on of the high side Power MOSFET as the sensing
resistor,
a Power Good window comparator that switches
its open collector output low when the output is outside
of a
±10%
window and an OVP output. Other features of
the device are ; Undervoltage lockout for both 5V and
12V supplies , an external programmable soft start func-
tion as well as programming the oscillator frequency by
using an external capacitor.

Pin Description
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.
Input to the DAC that programs the output voltage.This pin can be pulled up externally by
a 10kΩ 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.
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.
This pin selects a range of output voltages for the DAC.
This pin is an open collector output that switches LO when the output of the converter is
not within
±10%
(typ) of the nominal output voltage.When PWRGD pin switches LO the
sat voltage is less than 0.4V at 3mA.
This pin is connected directly to the output of the Core supply to provide feedback to the
Error comparator.
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 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 current source
charges an external capacitor that is conected from this pin to the GND which ramps up
the outputs of the switching regulator, 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 for the synchronous MOSFET or the Catch diode (HICCUP) during current limiting.
This pin programs the oscillator frequency in the range of 50 kHZ to 500kHZ with an
external capacitor connected from this pin to the GND.
This pin serves as the ground pin and must be conected directly to the ground plane. A
high frequency capacitor (0.1 to 1 uF) must be connected from V5 and V12 pins to this
pin for noise free operation.
Output driver for the synchronous power MOSFET.
Output driver for the high side 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 1 uF) must be connected directly from this pin
to GND pin in order to supply the peak current to the power MOSFET during the transi-
tions.
5V supply voltage.
