The LX1668 is a Monolithic Switching
Regulator Controller IC designed to
provide a low cost, high performance
adjustable power
microprocessors
requiring a very fast transient response and a
high degree of accuracy. It provides a
programmable switching regulator output,
together with one internal linear low dropout
regulator and one adjustable linear regulator
driver. The LX1668 offers a triple-output
single-chip power supply for Pentium® II
and other processors.
Programmable
Driver for CPU Core. The main output is
adjustable from 1.3 to 3.5V using a
TTLcompatible 5-bit digital code to meet
Intel specifications. The IC can read the
signal from a DIP-switch, hardwired to
Pentium II processor’s pins or from software.
The 5-bit code adjusts the output voltage
between
increments, and between 2.0 and 3.5V in
100mV increments. The device can drive
dual
efficiencies of 85 – 90%, even with loads in
excess of 10A.

Internal Low Dropout [LDO] Regulator
provides a fixed 2.5V output for powering
the clock circuit at up to 250mA.
External Linear Regulator Driver output
can be connected to a MOSFET to provide a
high-current
suitable for supplying the GTL+ bus
circuitry
motherboard at 1.5V.
Short-circuit Current Limiting without
Expensive Current Sense Resistors. The
current sensing mechanism can use a PCB
trace resistance or the parasitic resistance of
the main inductor. For applications requiring
a high degree of accuracy, a conventional
sense resistor can be used.
Ultra-Fast Transient Response Reduces
System
modulated off-time architecture results in
the fastest transient response for a given
inductor.
Small Package Size. The LX1668 is
available in an economical 20-pin wide
body SOIC or a space-saving 20-pin TSSOP
package.
