AIC1579/L
Step-Down Switching Regulator Controller
FEATURES
Operation Voltage up to 15V. Simple Voltage-Mode PWM Control. Fast Transient Response. 2V and 1.3V ± 2% Feedback Voltage Reference Option. Adjustable Current Limit without External Sense Resistors. 200KHz Free-Running Oscillator. Short-Circuit Protection with Low Short Circuit Output Current.
DESCRIPTION
The AIC1579 is a high-power, high-efficiency voltage-mode switching regulator controller for motherboard VI/O power supply applications. Designed to drive an N-channel MOSFET in a standard buck topology, the AIC1579 features a high voltage CMOS output driver, short-circuit protection, and 8-pin package. An external 4-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) can be used along with the AIC1579 to adjust the output voltage from 2.
