PRELIMINARY DATASHEET
DESCRIPTION
The US3034 IC
provides an 8 pin low cost switching
controller with true short circuit protection all in a
compact 8 pin surface mount package,
providing a
low cost switching solution
for dual supply processor
applications that require switching regulator for the 3.3V
supply such as the applications with AGP on board.
Typically in these applications a dual supply regulator
converts 5V to 3.3V for I/O supply and a jumper pro-
grammable supply of 1.25V to 3.5V for CORE supply .
The IC uses an internal regulator generated from the 12V
supply to power the controller as well as the 12V supply
to drive the power MOSFET, allowing a low cost N chan-
nel MOSFET to be used. The IC also includes an error
comparator for fast transient response, a precise volt-
age reference for setting the output voltage as well as a
direct drive of the MOSFET for the minimum part count.
APPLICATIONS
Dual supply low voltage processor applications,
such as: P55C™,CYRIX M2™, POWER PC™ and
AMD K6™
Simple 5V to 3.3V switcher for Pentium with AGP
or Pentium II™ applications

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

PIN SYMBOL PIN DESCRIPTION
A resistor divider from this pin to the output of the switching regulator and ground sets the
V
FB
Core supply voltage.
This pin is connected to the minus side of the external current sense resistor. An internal
C.S-
current source together with an external resistor in series with this pin programs the
current limit threshold voltage. This voltage divided by the external current sense resistor
sets the current limit threshold.
This pin is connected to the plus side of the external current sense resistor. A resistor in
C.S+
series with this pin and a capacitor connected between this pin and pin 6 provides a high
frequency filtering for the noise spikes of turn on and turn off switching.
This pin is connected to the IC substrate and must be connected to the lowest potential
Gnd
in the system.
The PWM output of the switching controller. This pin is a totem pole drive that is con-
Drv
nected to the gate of the power MOSFET. A resistor may be placed from this pin to the
gate in order to reduce switching noise.
A resistor and a 10pF capacitor is connected from this pin to the V
FB1
pin to set the
V
HYST
output ripple voltage for the switching regulator.
This pin supplies the voltage to the PWM drive and hysterises circuitry and it is con-
V
12
nected to the 12V supply. A 1 uF, high frequency capacitor must be connected from this
pin to ground to provide the peak current for charging and discharging of the MOSFET.
This pin provides the soft start for the regulator during power up. It also sets a long off
S.S
time when the converter goes into current limiting, providing low duty cycle for the catch
diode allowing it to survive during short circuit.

Figure2- Typical application of US3034 in a flexible motherboard with the 4 bit VID output voltage selection. This circuit is done
using a dual layout with the US3033 part . The advantage of this circuit is that it uses a single jumper that programs the output voltage
in 16 steps with 0.1V steps from 2V to 3.5V, designed for Intel P55,P54 AMD K5 & K6 as well as Cyrix M1 and M2 applications.
