5-Bit Programmable Synchronous Buck Regulator
Controller
General Description
The LM2636 is a high speed controller designed specifically
for use in synchronous DC/DC buck converters for advance
d microprocessors. A 5-bit DAC accepts the VID code di-
rectly from the CPU and adjusts the output voltage from 1.3V
to 3.5V. It provides the power good, over-voltage protection,
and output enable features as required by Intel VRM speci-
fications. Current limiting is achieved by monitoring the volt-
age drop across the r
eliminates an expensive current sense resistor.
The LM2636 employs a fixed-frequency voltage mode PWM
architecture. To provide a faster response to a large and fast
load transient, two ultra-fast comparators are built in to moni-
tor the output voltage and override the primary control loop
when necessary. The PWM frequency is adjustable from 50
kHz to 1 MHz through an external resistor. The wide range of
PWM frequency gives the power supply designer the flexibil-
ity to make trade-offs between load transient response per-
formance, MOSFET cost and the overall efficiency. The
adaptive non-overlapping MOSFET gate drivers help avoid
any potential shoot-through problem while maintaining high
efficiency. BiCMOS gate drivers with rail-to-rail swing ensure
that no spurious turn-on occur. When only 5V is available, a
bootstrap structure can be employed to accommodate an
NMOS high side switch. The precision reference trimmed to

2.5% over temperature is available externally for use by
other regulators. Dynamic positioning of load voltage, which
helps cut the number of output capacitors, can also be imple-
mented easily.
