STMicroelectronics PM6690
The PM6690 is a three phase step-down switching controller with embedded gate drivers. It has been designed to supply the CPU of the Intel® mobile platform, according with INTEL MVP7 specifications. The controller is based on clocked constant ontime (CkCOT) architecture that allows nearly constant switching frequency over load.FEATURES
● 4.5 V to 28 V input voltage range● 0.25 V to 1.52 V output voltage range, 8 bit SVID
● IMVP7 spec compliant
● Selectable PWM switching frequency, maximum temperature, maximum currents, boot voltage, VID transitions slew rate slow
● Adjustable load line (LL), 1 NTC needed for LL thermal compensation
● Lossless current sense with inductor DCR or accurate inductor current sense with RSENSE
● CkCOT (clocked constant on time control loop) allows almost fixed pwm switching frequency
● Output voltage ripple compensation
● Phases overlap in load transient
● Tunable overshoot threshold (TOT) allows to reduce overshoot in load transient
● Skip mode allows to increase efficiency at light load
● Average OCP for all phases and cycle by cycle OCP for each phase
● Embedded gate drivers and bootstrap diodes
● Adjustable VID transitions feature
