DESCRIPTION
The L4992 is a sophisticated dual PWM step-
down controller and power monitor intended for
Notebook computer and/or battery powered
equipment. The device produces regulated
+3.3V, +5.1V and 12V supplies for use in portable

and PCMCIA applications.
The internal architecture allows to operate with
minimum external components count. A very high
switching frequency (200/300 KHz or externally
synchronizable) optimizes their physical dimen-
sions.
Synchronous rectification and pulse skipping
mode for the buck sections optimise the overall
efficiency over a wide load current range (96% ef-
ficiency @1A/5.1V and 93% efficiency @
0.05A/5.1V.
The two high performance PWM controllers for
+3.3V and +5.1V lines are monitored for overvol-
tage, undervoltage and overcurrent conditions.
On detection of a fault, a POWER GOOD signal
is generated and a specific shutdown procedure
takes place to prevent physical damage and data
corruption.
A disable function allows to manage the output
power sections separately, optimising the quies-
cent consumption of the IC in stand-by conditions.
