Description
The RC5052 is a synchronous mode DC-DC controller IC,
optimized for 12V main power, which provides a highly accu-
rate, programmable output voltage for all Pentium II & III CPU
applications and other high-performance processors. The
RC5052 features remote voltage sensing, adjustable current
limit, and active droop for optimal converter transient
response. The RC5052 uses a 5-bit D/A converter to program
the output voltage from 1.3V to 3.5V. The RC5052 uses a high
level of integration to deliver load currents in excess of 16A
from a 12V source with minimal external circuitry. Synchro-
nous-mode operation offers optimum efficiency over the
entire specified output voltage range. An on-board precision
low TC reference achieves tight tolerance voltage regulation
without expensive external components, while active droop
permits exact tailoring of voltage for the most demanding load
transients. The RC5052 also offers integrated functions
including Power Good, Output Enable/Soft Start, current
limiting, adjustable frequency, adjustable deadtime and over-
voltage crowbar protection, and is available in a 20 pin SOIC
package.

Pin Name
Pin Function Description
1
ROSC
Oscillator Resistor Connection.
Connect an external resistor to this pin to set
the internal oscillator frequency. Layout of this pin is critical to system
performance. See Application Information for details.
2
ENABLE/SS
Output Enable/Softstart.
A logic LOW on this pin will disable the output. An
internal current source allows for open collector control. This pin also doubles as
soft start.
3
PWRGD
Power Good Flag.
An open collector output that will be logic LOW if the output
voltage is not within 12% of the nominal output voltage setpoint.
4
IFB
Current Feedback.
Pin 4 is used in conjunction with pin 13, as the input for the
current feedback control loop. Layout of these traces is critical to system
performance. See Application Information for details.
5
VFB
Voltage Feedback.
Pin 5 is used as the input for the voltage feedback control
loop. See Application Information for details regarding correct layout.
6
VCCA
Analog VCC.
Connect to system 5V supply and decouple with a 0.1F ceramic
capacitor.
7
OVP
Over Voltage Protection.
This pin triggers the gate of an external SCR.
8
GNDP
Power Ground.
Return pin for high currents flowing in pins 10 and 11. Connect
to a low impedance ground.
9
LODRV
Low Side FET Driver.
Connect this pin to the gate of an N-channel MOSFET for
synchronous operation. The trace from this pin to the MOSFET gate should be
<0.5".
10
VCCP
Power VCC.
For low side FET driver. Connect to system 12V supply and
decouple with a 10
resistor, 4.7F tantalum and a 0.1F ceramic capacitor.
11
VCCQP
High Side Power VCC.
For high side FET driver. Connect to system 12V supply
and decouple with a 10
resistor, 4.7F tantalum and a 0.1F ceramic capacitor.
12
HIDRV
High Side FET Driver.
Connect this pin to the gate of an N-channel MOSFET.
The trace from this pin to the MOSFET gate should be <0.5".
13
SW
High side driver source and low side driver drain switching node.
Together
with IFB pin allows FET sensing for current.
14
GNDA
Analog Ground.
Return path for low power analog circuitry. This pin should be
connected to a low impedance system ground plane to minimize ground loops.
15
DTA
Dead Time Adjust.
Connect an external resistor to this pin to set the dead time.

VID0-4
Voltage Identification Code Inputs.
These open collector/TTL compatible inputs
will program the output voltage over the ranges specified in Table 2. Pull-up
resistors are internal to the controller.

The denotes specifications which apply over the full operating temperature range.
Notes:
1. Steady State Voltage Regulation includes Initial Voltage Setpoint, Droop, Output Ripple and Output Temperature Drift and is
measured at the converter's VFB sense point.
2. As measured at the converter's VFB sense point. For motherboard applications, the PCB layout should exhibit no more than
0.5m
trace resistance between the converter's output capacitors and the CPU. Remote sensing should be used for optimal
performance.
3. Using the VFB pin for remote sensing of the converter's output at the load, the converter will be in compliance with Intel's
VRM 8.4 specification of +50, -80mV. If Intel specifications on maximum plane resistance from the converter's output capac-
itors to the CPU are met, the specification of +40, -70mV at the capacitors will also be met.
4. Includes gate current.
