DESCRIPTION
The US3021M controller IC is specifically designed to
meet Intel specification for next generation micropro-
cessor applications requiring multiple on board regula-
tors .
The US3021M provides a single chip control-
ler IC for the Vcore , 3LDO controllers, one with the
automatic select pin that connects to the TYPE DE-
TECT pin of the AGP slot for the AGP Vddq supply,
one for GTL+ and the other for the 1.8V chip set
regulator as required for the next generation PC
applications. The US3021M uses N ch MOSFET as
pass transistor for Vout2(Vddq), Vout3(1.5V) and
Vout4(1.8V). No external resistor divider is neces-
sary for any of the regulators.
The switching regulator
feature a patented topology that in combination with a
few external components as shown in the typical appli-
cation circuit ,will provide well in excess of 20A of out-
put current for an on- board DC/DC converter while auto-
matically providing the right output voltage via the 5 bit
internal DAC .The US3021M also features,
loss less cur-
rent sensing for both switcher by using the Rds-on
of the high side Power MOSFET as the sensing re-
sistor, an output under voltage shutdown that de-
tects short circuit condition for the linear outputs
and latches the system off, and
a Power Good win-
dow comparator that switches its open collector output
low when any one of the outputs is outside of a pre pro-
grammed window.

Pin Description
LSB input to the DAC that programs the output voltage. This pin is TTL compatible that
realizes a logic “1” as either HI or Open. When left open,his pin is pulled up internally by
a 27kΩ resistor to 5V supply.

MSB input to the DAC that programs the output voltage. This pin is TTL compatible that
realizes a logic “1” as either HI or Open. When left open,his pin is pulled up internally by
a 27kΩ resistor to 5V supply.
This pin selects a range of output voltages for the DAC.When in the LOW state the range
is 1.3V to 2.05V and when it switches to HI state the range is 2.0V to 3.5V. This pin is
TTL compatible that realizes a logic “1” as either HI or Open. When left open,his pin is
pulled up internally by a 27kΩ resistor to 5V supply.
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 Vout1 to FB1 must be less than 1000Ω.
This pin controls the gate of an external MOSFET for the AGP linear regulator.
This pin provides shutdown for all the regulatos. A TTL compatible, logic level high applied
to this pin disables all the outputs and discharges the soft start capacitor. The SD signal
turns off the synchronous allowing body diode to conduct and discharge the output cap.

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 provides the feedback for the AGP linear regulator. The Select pin when con-
nected to the "Type Detect" pin of the AGP slot automatically selects the right voltage for
the AGP Vddq.
This pin controls the gate of an external MOSFET for the 1.8V chip set linear regulator.
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 all the regulators. An internal current source charges
an external capacitor that is connected from this pin to GND which ramps up the outputs
of the regulators, 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 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 any
of the switcher outputs 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.
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 Drive3.
This pin is not connected internally.

This pin provides the feedback for the linear regulator that its output drive is Drive4.
This pin serves as the ground pin and must be connected directly to the ground plane.
This pin serves as the Power ground pin and must be connected 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.

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

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 provides automatic voltage selection for the AGP switching regulator. When it is
pulled LO, the voltage is 1.5V and when left open or pulled to HI, the voltage is 3.3V.
Leaving this pin open provides fixed output voltages of the 1.5V and 1.8V for the #3 and #4
linear regulators. When this pin is grounded the reference to the linear regulators are set
to 1.26V and therefore the output of the regulators can be programmed to any voltages
above the 1.26V using; Vout=1.26*(1+Rtop/Rbot)
Where:
Rtop=Top resistor connected from the output to the Vsense pin
Rbot=Bottom resistor connected from the Vsense pin to ground.
