Product details
Overview
ADP3153ARU-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 5-bit programmable dual power supply controller for Pentium II, Deschutes, Pentium Pro, Pentium, and AMD–K6 processors. It integrates a synchronous buck controller (1.8 V–3.5 V, up to 14 A) and an external N-channel linear regulator controller (e.g., 3.3 V @ 1 A), features VRM 8.2 compliance, ±1% output voltage accuracy over 0°C to +70°C, and current-mode constant-off-time architecture with 250 kHz max switching frequency.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3153ARU-REEL7 datasheet, ADP3153ARU-REEL7 pinout, ADP3153ARU-REEL7 application, or ADP3153ARU-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include VID-code-based digital voltage programming, dual N-channel gate drive capability (DRIVE1/DRIVE2), crowbar overvoltage protection, Power Good timing (500 µs response), and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with Intel VRM 8.2 desktop CPU power delivery requirements.
Technical Context
The ADP3153ARU-REEL7 implements a current-mode, constant-off-time control architecture where off-time is set by an external CT capacitor (e.g., 150 pF yields ~2.45 µs off-time), enabling input-voltage-dependent frequency scaling without slope compensation. Its 5-bit VID DAC (600 mV–1.167 V reference) directly interfaces processor voltage identification codes to program output between 1.8 V and 3.5 V in discrete steps.
It integrates dual gate drivers (DRIVE1 for high-side N-MOSFET, DRIVE2 for synchronous rectifier), a dedicated linear regulator controller (VLDO, FB pins), current-sense comparator (SENSE+/SENSE–), and protection circuitry including crowbar (9–24% OV trip), short-circuit detection (125–165 mV threshold), and open-drain Power Good (±5% regulation window, 500 µs delay).

| FB (Pin 7) | Linear Regulator Feedback Input | Connects to resistor divider; sets VLDO output voltage (e.g., 3.30 V with RPROG = 35 kΩ, R3 = 20 kΩ) |
| SD (Pin 6) | Shutdown Control Input | Logic high (>2.0 V) disables both outputs; internal pull-down; enables system-level power sequencing |

FAQ
What is the supported VID voltage range for ADP3153ARU-REEL7?
The ADP3153ARU-REEL7 accepts VID inputs with low threshold ≤0.6 V and high threshold ≥2.0 V. Its internal 5-bit DAC converts VID codes into a 600 mV–1.167 V reference, enabling precise 1.8 V–3.5 V output programming per Table I in the datasheet. VID0–VID4 are internally pulled up to VREG (≈5 V), so floating pins default to logic high.
Does ADP3153ARU-REEL7 support both buck and linear regulator outputs simultaneously?
Yes. The ADP3153ARU-REEL7 concurrently controls a synchronous buck converter (1.8–3.5 V, up to 14 A) and an external N-channel linear regulator via VLDO and FB pins. In typical applications, it delivers 2.8 V to the CPU core while generating 3.3 V @ 1 A for auxiliary circuitry using an external IRL2703 MOSFET and resistor divider.
What protection features does ADP3153ARU-REEL7 include?
The ADP3153ARU-REEL7 integrates short-circuit protection (via SENSE+/SENSE– comparator with 125–165 mV threshold), overvoltage crowbar (9–24% trip), Power Good monitoring (±5% window, 500 µs delay), and shutdown control (SD pin). All protections operate independently of microcontroller intervention and are hardware-based.
What is the maximum switching frequency of ADP3153ARU-REEL7?
The ADP3153ARU-REEL7 has a maximum switching frequency of 250 kHz, achieved with appropriate CT capacitor selection and light-load conditions. At nominal 2.8 V output and 5 V input, a 150 pF CT yields ~2.45 µs off-time and ~200 kHz operation; frequency decreases under heavy load or higher VO due to parasitic voltage drops.
Is ADP3153ARU-REEL7 compatible with Pentium Pro processors?
Yes. The ADP3153ARU-REEL7 is explicitly listed in its Applications section for Pentium Pro processors. It supports the required VID codes (e.g., 10111 → 2.8 V) and meets VRM 8.2 specifications applicable to Pentium Pro core voltage regulation, including ±1% accuracy and transient response requirements.
