The EL7571 is a flexible, high efficiency, current mode, PWM step down controller. It incorporates five bit DAC adjustable output voltage control which conforms to the Intel Voltage Regulation Module (VRM) Specification for Pentium® II and Pentium® Pro class processors. The controller employs synchronous rectification to deliver efficiencies greater than 90% over a wide range of supply voltages and load conditions. The on-board oscillator frequency is externally adjustable, or may be slaved to a system clock, allowing optimization of RFI performance in critical applications. In single supply operation, the high side FET driver supports boot-strapped operation. For maximum flexibility, system operation is possible from either a 5V rail, a single 12V rail, or dual supply rails with the controller operating from 12V and the power FETs from 5V.
