Description
Features
The SC1159 is a synchronous-buck switch-mode con-
troller designed for use in single ended power supply ap-
plications where efficiency is the primary concern. The
controller is a hysteretic type, with a user selectable hys-
teresis. The SC1159 is ideal for implementing DC/DC
converters needed to power advanced microprocessors
such as Pentium^® llI and Athlon^®, in both single and mul-
tiple processor configurations. Inhibit, under-voltage lock-
out and soft-start functions are included for controlled
power-up.
SC1159 features include an integrated 5 bit D/A con-
verter, temperature compensated voltage reference,
current limit comparator, over-current protection, and an
adaptive deadtime circuit to prevent shoot-through of
the power MOSFET during switching transitions. Power
good signaling, logic compatible shutdown, and over-volt-
age protection are also provided. The integrated D/A
converter provides programmability of output voltage
from 1.050V to 1.825V in 25mV increments.
‹ Programmable hysteresis
‹ 5 bit DAC programmable output (1.050V-1.825V)
‹ On-chip power good and OVP functions
‹ Designed to meet latest Intel specifications
‹ Up to 95% efficiency
‹ +1% tolerance over temperature
Applications
‹ Server Systems and Workstations
‹ Pentium^® III Core Supplies

The SC1159 high side driver can be configured as either
a ground-referenced or as a floating bootstrap driver.
The high and low side MOSFET drivers have a peak cur-
rent rating of 2 amps.
