GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AIC1341 combines a synchronous voltage
mode PWM controller with two linear controllers
as well as the monitoring and protection functions
in this chip. The PWM controller regulates the
output voltage with a synchronous rectified step-
down converter. The built-in N-Channel MOSFET
drivers also help to simplify the design of step-
down converter. It is able to power CPUs, GPUs,
memories, chipsets and multi-voltage applications.
The PWM controller features over current protec-
tion using R
DS(ON)
. It improves efficiency and saves
cost, as there is no expensive current sense resis-
tor required.
Two built-in adjustable linear controllers drive an
external MOSFETs to form two linear regulators
that regulates power for multiple system I/O. Out-
put voltage of both linear regulators can also be
adjusted by means of the external resistor divider.
Both linear regulators feature current limit. For a
system I/O requires current less than 500mA, the
AIC1340 is recommended for saving one external
MOSFET.
The programmable soft-start design provodes a
controlled output voltage rise, which limits the cur-
rent rate during power on time.
The shutdown function is also provided for dis-
abling the combo controller.
