PIN DESCRIPTIONS

PIN # PIN SYMBOL PIN DESCRIPTION

3 Vfb1 A resistor divider from this pin to the output of the switching regulator and
ground sets the Core supply voltage.
6 Vout The output of the linear regulator. A minimum of a 100uF low ESR capacitor must be
connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
7 Vin The input pin of the linear regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected
from this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum
drop out voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be higher than
Vout plus the maximum dropout voltage in order for the device to regulate properly.
4 Gnd This pin is connected to the IC substrate and must be connected to the lowest
potential in the system. It is also connected to the Tab of the package.
1 Drv The PWM output of the switching controller. This pin is a totem pole drive that is
connected to the gate of the power MOSFET. A resistor may be placed in series from
this pin to the gate in order to reduce switching noise.
5 Vfb2 A resistor divider from this pin to the output of the linear regulator and
ground sets the I/O supply voltage.
2 V12 This pin is connected to the 12V supply voltage. A high frequency cap must be
connected from this pin to the GND pin of the IC.

Figure2- Typical application of US2076 in a flexible motherboard with the 4 bit VID output voltage selection. This circuit
uses a single jumper that programs the output voltage in 16 steps with 0.1V steps from 2V to 3.5V, designed for Intel P55,P54,
AMD K5 & K6 as well as Cyrix M1 and M2 applications. The Vcc2Det pin automatically shuts down the I/O when a single plane
processor is dropped in the socket.
