DESCRIPTION
The EZ1900 is a high performance positive load current balancer designed for use in applications utilizing 2 regulators in parallel to achieve equal current sharing or identical current for each load. The regulator balance controller allows a flexible motherboard design to be made to cope with different processor configurations. The controller reads a logic level upgrade signal (denoted VCC2DET on the Intel P55C; similar on AMD, Cyrix and PowerPC microprocessors) to control the output voltage of two linear low dropout voltage regulators to the CPU core and I/O planes.
