LM2638
Motherboard Power Supply Solution with a 5-Bit
Programmable Switching Controller and Two Linear
Regulator Controllers
General Description
The LM2638 provides a comprehensive embedded power
supply solution for motherboards hosting high performance
MPUs such as Pentium
high performance MPUs. The LM2638 incorporates a 5-bit
programmable, synchronous buck switching controller and
two high-speed linear regulator controllers in a 24-pin SO
package. In a typical application, the switching controller
supplies the MPU core, and the linear regulator controllers
supply the GTL+ bus and the clock or graphics chip core. A
charge pump pin helps provide the necessary voltage to
power the linear sections when 12V is shut off during system
standby such as STR mode.
Switching Section — The switching regulator controller fea-
tures an Intel-compatible, 5-bit programmable output volt-
age, over-current and over-voltage protection, a power good
signal, and a logic-controlled output enable. There are two
user-selectable over-current protection methods. One pro-
vides accurate over-current protection with the use of an ex-
ternal sense resistor. The other saves cost by taking advan-
tage of the r
over voltage, the controller turns off the high side FET and
turns on the low side.
Linear Section — The two linear regulator controllers fea-
ture wide control bandwidth, N-FET and NPN transistor driv-
ing capability and an adjustable output. The wide control
bandwidth makes meeting the GTL+ bus transient response
requirement an easy job. In minimum configuration, the two
controllers default to 1.5V and 1.25V respectively.
