HIP6018
Advanced PWM and Dual Linear Power Control
The HIP6018 provides the power control and protection for three output voltages in high-performance microprocessor and computer applications. The IC integrates a PWM controllers, a linear regulator and a linear controller as well as the monitoring and protection functions into a single package. The PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified buck converter. The linear controller regulates power for the GTL bus and the linear regulator provides power for the clock driver circuit.
The HIP6018 includes an Intel-compatible, TTL 5-input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the core PWM output voltage from 2.1VDC to 3.5VDC in 0.1V increments and from 1.8VDC to 2.05VDC in 0.05V steps.
