General Description
The APW6020 provides the power control and protection for four output voltages in high-performance , graphics intensive microprocessor and computer applications. The IC integrates two voltage-mode PWM controllers and two linear controllers , as well as the monitoring and protection functions into a single package. One PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified buck converter. The second PWM controller supplies the computer’s AGP 1.5V or 3.3V bus power with a standard Buck converter. The linear controllers requlate the power for the 1.5V GTL bus , and the 1.8V power for the North/South Bridge core voltage and/or cache memory circuits.
