STMicroelectronics AN908

The actual generation of Pentium Pro® microprocessors, requires a power supply with a programmable output voltage that decreases with the increasing of the processor internal clock. The VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) proposed (Fig 1) is a step down converter based on the L4990A, very fast current mode controller.

DESCRIPTION

At the same time higher output currents are required and superior load transient performance has to be supplied due to very high dI/dt requests. A complete system solution is given and described. A connector with a standard VRM pinout is used, with 4 bit for Voltage Identify system, Power Good, Enable and constant limiting current functions are available. Output Over Voltage Protection is also available.
