GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3157 is a highly efficient synchronous buck switching
regulator controller optimized for converting the 5 V main sup-
ply into the core supply voltage required by the Pentium III and
other high performance processors. The ADP3157 uses an
internal 5-bit DAC to read a voltage identification (VID) code
directly from the processor, which is used to set the output
voltage between 1.3 V and 3.5 V. The ADP3157 uses a current
mode, constant off-time architecture to drive two external N-
channel MOSFETs at a programmable switching frequency that
can be optimized for size and efficiency. It also uses a unique
supplemental regulation technique called active voltage position-
ing to enhance load transient performance.
Active voltage positioning results in a dc/dc converter that meets
the stringent output voltage specifications for Pentium II and
Pentium III processors, with the minimum number of output
capacitors and smallest footprint. Unlike voltage-mode and
standard current-mode architectures, active voltage positioning
adjusts the output voltage as a function of the load current so that
it is always optimally positioned for a system transient.
The ADP3157 provides accurate and reliable short circuit pro-
tection and adjustable current limiting. It also includes an
integrated overvoltage crowbar function to protect the micro-
processor from destruction in case the core supply exceeds the
nominal programmed voltage by more than 15%.
