DESCRIPTION
The L5996 is a power supply controller that offers
a complete power management for notebook
CPUs of the next generation especially for mobile
Pentium III. A high precise 5 bit digital to analog
converter (DAC) allows to adjust the output voltage from 0.925V to 2.0V. Dynamic DAC code
changes are detected on chip in order to switch
the output voltage between 1.3V and 1.45V in
less tahn 100µs.The high precision internal refer-

DESCRIPTION (Continued)
ence, digitally trimmed, assures the selected output voltage to within +/-1% over temperature and
battery voltage variations.
Thanks to the remote sensing inputs and to the
window comparator system, embedded in the error summing structure, the device provides excellent load transient performance. The high peak
current gate drive affords to have fast switching
to the external power mos, performing an high efficiency. A complete power management include
on board a programmable power-up sequencing,
power good signal, skip mode operation and undervoltege detection. The L5996 assures a fast
protection against load overvoltage and load
overcurrent. Linear regulator on-board is available with an output voltage of 2.5V (+/-2%) and a
current capability of 150mA, useful for CPU
CLOCK BUS.

FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
ENABLE(pin1): Enable input. A high level
(>2.4V) enables the device, a low level (<0.8V)
shuts it down. As ENABLE drops below 0.8V, the
drivers are turned off and all internal functions are
disabled except REG5. In this condition the stand
by current is less than 80µA at VIN = 12V.
VIN(pin2): Device supply voltage. Input voltage
range at this pin is 4.75V to 25V and the operating current requirement at 12V is 650µA.
REG5(pin3): 5V Regulator supply. Used also to
supply the bootstrap capacitor. A minimum 2.2µF
ceramic capacitor connected to PWRGND is required.
V5SW(pin4): 5V supply line. Connecting to 5V
bus(4.75V to 5.5V) the device is no longer powered by VIN but by this pin and the internal linear
regulator is disconnected increasing the efficiency.
DISPROT (pin5) Disable Protection Functions. A
high level (3.3V CMOS LOGIC) on this pin disables the undervoltage and the overvoltage protection. Tie this pin to VSS for normal operation.
SSTART(pin6): Soft Start. The soft-start time is
programmed by an external capacitor connected
between this pin and SGND. The internal current
generator forces 4µA through the capacitor implementing the soft start function.
HRSNS(pin7): Error summing current sense non
inverting input.
LRSNS(pin8): Error summing current sense inverting input.
VFB(pin9): Regulator voltage feedback input.
Connect close to the CPU input supply pin realise
an accurate voltage regulation. VFB internally is
connected to the window comparator that is used
to increase the performance during the load transient.
COMP(pin10): Regulator stability compensation
pin. The compensation is realised internally and
normally it is not necessary to connect any external components to this pin.
VPROG(pin11): Reference voltage test pin. This
pin provides the DAC output and should be decoupled to ground using a 0.22µF ceramic capacitor. No load has to be connected.
SNSGND(pin12): Remote ground sense. This
pin is internally connected to the low power circuitry and for a precise output voltage regulation
can be connected to the output capacitor negative terminal.
VIN2.5(pin13): 2.5V linear supply voltage. Is available on-chip a linear regulator useful for the 2.5V
bus. A max input voltage of 3.3V is recommended at Iomax (150mA).
VO2.5(pin14): 2.5V linear regulator output. The
linear regulator is realised with an internal NPN
transistor with +/-2% output accuracy. A minimum of 47µF capacitor connected versus
PWRGND is required.
VBG(pin15): Band-gap reference voltage. A min
220nF ceramic capacitor is required to assure the
band gap stability and noise immunity.
VSS(pin16): Signal ground. This pin could be
connected to the PWRGND pin.
FREQ(pin17): Connecting an external resistor
versus ground is possible to select the switching
frequency between 100kHz and 1MHz. Using an
Rext=680k the fsw is 100kHz, using an Rext =
40k the fsw is 1MHz. In this condition is recommended to connect the OSC pin to REG5 or to
VSS.
OSC(pin18): Connecting to REG5 is able to set
the switching frequency at 200kHz, connecting to
VSS is able to set the switching frequency at
250kHz. An external pulsed signal, with an amplitude higher than 2.4V, could synchronise the device. In all these conditions pin FREQ has to be
connected to REG5.
OVP/CURLIM(pin19): Over voltage protection
and reduced current limit window. If the output
voltage reaches the 10% above the programmed
voltage (VPROG) this pin is driven low the high
side driver is turned off and the low, side driver is
turned on. All the internal blocks are active. The
device uses OVP function to discharge the output
during HIGH_TO_LOW core voltage transition.
The pin is driven low also during LOW_TO_HIGH
core voltage transition. The pin will stay low as
5/9
L5996
long as the current limit value is reduced with respect to the normal operating value. This is done
to limit voltage overshoots during core voltage
changes. Making this signal externally available
simplifies system debugging.
VID0-4(pin20-24): Voltage Identification code input. These open collector compatible inputs are
used to program the output voltage as specified
in Table 1. Every pin has an internal pull up. If all
four pins are high or floating, the output voltage
and the 2.5V regulator are suspended and the
POWERGOOD is low.
NOSKIP(pin25): Pulse skipping mode control. A
high level (>2.4V) disables pulse skipping in low
load condition, a low level (>0.8V) enables it.
HSRC(pin26): High side N-Channel switch
source connection. This pin provides the return
path for the high side driver.
HGATE(pin27): Gate driver output, high side NChannel switch. The driver internal impedance is
about 4Ω at VIN=12V.
HSTRAP(pin28):Bootstrap capacitor pin. This pin
provide to supply the high side driver sinking the
current by the bootstrap capacitor.
RSTRAP(pin29): Synchronous rectifier gate
driver supply voltage. This pin could be connected to REG5 to reduce the switching losses
due to the external Mosfets gate capacitance.
This is useful to maintain an high efficiency at
light load.
RGATE(pin30): Gate driver output, low side NChannel switch. The driver internal impedance is
about 3Ω at VIN=12V.
PWRGND(pin31): Power ground. This pin has to
be connected closely to the low side mosfet
source in order to reduce the noise injected into
the IC.
POWER GOOD(pin32): Open drain power good
output. This pin is pulled low if the output voltage
is not within ±10% and the 2.5V output is lower
than 2.175V (-13%). The pin is pulled low also if
REG5, VPROG and VBG have not reached the
expected values. This test could be useful in an
assembling fault condition.
