Product details
Overview
ADP3155JRU-REEL from Analog Devices is a 5-bit programmable triple power supply controller optimized for Pentium III and AMD-K6 processor core voltage regulation. It implements active voltage positioning, VRM 8.2/8.3/8.4 compliance, ±5% power-good window, and integrated overvoltage crowbar protection. It drives dual N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck topology with 1.3 V to 3.5 V digitally set output.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3155JRU-REEL datasheet, ADP3155JRU-REEL pinout, ADP3155JRU-REEL application, or ADP3155JRU-REEL equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world transient response data, confirmed TSSOP-20 package mapping, and two validated alternative controllers for VRM-compliant desktop motherboard designs.
Technical Context
The ADP3155JRU-REEL uses a current-mode, constant-off-time architecture with external CT capacitor programming (e.g., 150 pF sets tOFF = 1.8–3.2 µs). Its internal 5-bit DAC reads VID0–VID4 to set SENSE– reference between 1.3 V and 3.5 V, enabling precise core voltage tracking per Intel VRM specifications.
It integrates two linear regulator controllers (VLDO1/VLDO2) for auxiliary AGP/GTL rails, supports active voltage positioning with gain/offset adjustment, and provides crowbar protection triggered at +9% to +24% over nominal output-no external components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.3 V to 3.5 V, digitally programmed via 5-bit VID code; enables dynamic CPU voltage scaling per VRM 8.x spec. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% at 1.3 V/2.0 V/3.5 V outputs over temperature; ensures compliance with Pentium III static tolerance limits (±100 mV). |
| Power Good Window | ±5% regulation band with 500 µs delay; signals stable core voltage to motherboard logic before CPU release. |
| Crowbar Threshold | +9% to +24% over nominal output; triggers immediate low-side MOSFET turn-on to protect microprocessor during overvoltage fault. |
| Off-Time Control | Programmable via CT pin (65 µA discharge current); 150 pF yields 1.8–3.2 µs off-time, setting operating frequency near 200 kHz at 2.8 V. |
| Linear Regulator Outputs | Two independent controllers (VLDO1/VLDO2); each supports externally set voltages (e.g., 3.3 V @ 1 A with R3=R5=20 kΩ, R4=R6=35 kΩ). |
| Package | TSSOP-20; surface-mount, 0.65 mm pitch, thermally enhanced for high-current VRM applications on dense PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package with exposed thermal pad (RU-20 option); 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.1 mm max height; designed for automated reflow assembly and thermal dissipation in high-density VRM modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VID0–VID4 (Pins 1–4, 20) | Voltage Identification DAC inputs | Read 5-bit processor VID code; open pins = logic high; all five open = shutdown mode. |
| SENSE– (Pin 9) | Output voltage sense reference | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; sets regulation point for buck output and active voltage positioning loop. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 10) | Current comparator positive input | Senses inductor current via external sense resistor; enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting and short-circuit protection. |
| DRIVE1 (Pin 18) | High-side N-MOSFET gate driver | Swings 0 V to VCC (12 V typical); drives buck switch with 120–200 ns transition time into 7000 pF load. |
| DRIVE2 (Pin 17) | Low-side N-MOSFET gate driver | Swings 0 V to VCC; enables synchronous rectification and crowbar function activation. |
| PWRGD (Pin 15) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts high after output stabilizes within ±5% for ≥500 µs; interfaces directly with motherboard reset logic. |
| VLDO1 / VLDO2 (Pins 8, 13) | Linear regulator gate drivers | Drive external N-MOSFETs for AGP/GTL/other auxiliary rails; support fast load-transient response. |
| FB1 / FB2 (Pins 7, 14) | Linear regulator feedback inputs | Accept resistor-divider voltage from auxiliary rail outputs; set target voltage independently of main buck output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Voltage Positioning | Adjusts output voltage dynamically vs. load current to minimize required output capacitance while meeting VRM transient specs (±130 mV @ 30 A/µs). |
| VRM 8.2/8.3/8.4 Compliance | Fully satisfies Intel's core voltage accuracy, transient response, power-good timing, and crowbar requirements without external compensation. |
| Dual Linear Regulator Controllers | Enable efficient generation of 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V auxiliary rails using external N-MOSFETs-critical for ACPI-compliant standby operation. |
| Integrated Overvoltage Crowbar | Triggers at +9% to +24% over nominal output; pulls down core rail using low-side MOSFET-no external SCR or protection IC needed. |
| Constant Off-Time Architecture | Eliminates need for slope compensation; provides inherent stability across input/output voltage ratios and simplifies inductor selection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VRM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6522CRZ | Single-phase VRM 8.5 controller; supports up to 25 A; includes digital soft-start and telemetry reporting not present in ADP3155JRU-REEL. | Targets newer Pentium 4 platforms; lacks dual linear regulator controllers-requires separate LDOs for auxiliary rails. | Choose ISL6522CRZ when upgrading to VRM 8.5 compliance or needing current telemetry; retain ADP3155JRU-REEL for cost-sensitive VRM 8.2–8.4 designs with integrated aux supplies. |
| RT9173AGQW | Single-output synchronous buck controller; no VID interface; fixed 1.5 V/1.8 V/2.5 V options; no crowbar or linear regulator controllers. | Designed for embedded or non-Intel applications; cannot replace ADP3155JRU-REEL in Pentium/AMD desktop VRMs due to missing VID and triple-output capability. | Consider RT9173AGQW only for simple, fixed-voltage DC/DC stages where VID, crowbar, and auxiliary rails are unnecessary. |
Compared with ISL6522CRZ and RT9173AGQW, the ADP3155JRU-REEL uniquely combines VID-programmable core regulation, integrated crowbar protection, and dual linear regulator control in a single TSSOP-20 package-making it irreplaceable for legacy VRM 8.2–8.4 motherboard designs requiring minimal component count and proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADP3155JRU-REEL in a desktop motherboard?
The ADP3155JRU-REEL serves as the core voltage regulator controller for Pentium III and AMD-K6 processors. It decodes the 5-bit VID signal to set output voltage between 1.3 V and 3.5 V, implements active voltage positioning for optimal transient response, and provides integrated crowbar protection-all within a single TSSOP-20 package. The ADP3155JRU-REEL also manages two auxiliary linear regulator rails for AGP and GTL circuits.
Does the ADP3155JRU-REEL support VRM 8.4 compliance?
Yes, the ADP3155JRU-REEL is explicitly specified as VRM 8.2-, 8.3-, and 8.4-compliant in its official documentation. It meets all key requirements including ±1% output accuracy over temperature, ±5% power-good window with 500 µs delay, active voltage positioning for transient response, and crowbar protection triggering at +9% to +24% over nominal output-fully satisfying Intel's VRM 8.4 specification.
How does the crowbar protection in the ADP3155JRU-REEL work?
The ADP3155JRU-REEL's crowbar protection activates when the sensed output voltage exceeds the nominal programmed value by +9% to +24%. Upon detection, it forces DRIVE2 high to fully turn on the low-side N-channel MOSFET, effectively shorting the output to ground through the MOSFET's RDS(ON). This rapidly collapses the core voltage and protects the microprocessor. The crowbar releases when output falls to ~50% of nominal, allowing recovery if the fault is cleared.
Can the ADP3155JRU-REEL generate auxiliary voltages like 1.5 V or 3.3 V?
Yes, the ADP3155JRU-REEL includes two dedicated linear regulator controllers (VLDO1 and VLDO2) that drive external N-channel MOSFETs. By connecting appropriate resistor dividers to FB1 and FB2, designers can set auxiliary outputs such as 1.5 V for GTL, 1.8 V for Southbridge, or 3.3 V for AGP-each supporting up to 1 A with high bandwidth transient response. This eliminates the need for separate LDO ICs in VRM designs.
What package type is used for the ADP3155JRU-REEL?
The ADP3155JRU-REEL is packaged in a 20-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), designated RU-20 by Analog Devices. It features a 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation-optimized for high-current VRM applications on space-constrained motherboard layers.
