Product details
Overview
ADP3155JRU-REEL7 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 with gain/offset adjustment, delivers 1.3 V to 3.5 V output via internal DAC, supports VRM 8.2/8.3/8.4 compliance, and integrates dual N-channel synchronous drivers plus two linear regulator controllers in a TSSOP-20 package.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 datasheet, ADP3155JRU-REEL7 pinout, ADP3155JRU-REEL7 application, or ADP3155JRU-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world transient response data (±130 mV at 30 A/µs), crowbar overvoltage protection (9–24% trip), and validated alternatives for VRM-compliant motherboard designs.
Technical Context
The ADP3155JRU-REEL7 uses a current-mode, constant-off-time architecture with CT-pin-programmable off-time (1.8–3.2 µs), enabling frequency optimization without slope compensation. Its internal 5-bit DAC reads VID0–VID4 to set output voltage between 1.3 V and 3.5 V with ±1% accuracy over temperature.
Active voltage positioning dynamically adjusts output voltage vs. load current to meet Intel VRM transient specs (e.g., 130 mV deviation at 30 A/µs), while integrated crowbar protection triggers at +9% to +24% overvoltage and releases at ~50% nominal voltage. Dual linear regulator controllers drive external N-MOSFETs for AGP/GTL auxiliary rails with 3.24–3.38 V output at 1 A.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VRM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADP3165JRU-REEL7 | Supports VRM 8.5/9.0, adds 6-bit VID, higher efficiency at light load, same TSSOP-20 package | Required for newer Pentium 4 platforms; not backward-compatible with VRM 8.2/8.3 timing requirements | Select when upgrading to VRM 8.5+ compliance or needing extended VID resolution beyond 5 bits |
| ISL6522CBZ-T | Intersil VRM 8.4 controller with integrated MOSFET drivers, 1.25–2.0 V range, no linear regulator controllers | Lacks dual linear regulator outputs; requires external LDOs for AGP/GTL rails | Choose when prioritizing integrated driver strength over auxiliary rail integration |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 in a Pentium III motherboard?
The ADP3155JRU-REEL7 serves as the core voltage regulator controller, converting 5 V input to a programmable 1.3–3.5 V output for Pentium III processors using synchronous buck topology. It reads VID codes directly, implements active voltage positioning for transient response, and integrates dual linear regulators for AGP/GTL rails - all in a single TSSOP-20 package. The ADP3155JRU-REEL7 replaces discrete solutions with a VRM 8.2/8.3/8.4-compliant integrated controller.
How does the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 implement overvoltage protection?
The ADP3155JRU-REEL7 features an integrated crowbar function that activates the low-side synchronous MOSFET when output voltage exceeds +9% to +24% of the nominal value. This pulls down the output rail, protecting the microprocessor without external components. The crowbar releases automatically when voltage falls below ~50% of nominal (e.g., <1.0 V for a 2.0 V output). The ADP3155JRU-REEL7 specifies VCROWBAR = +9% to +24% with hysteresis built into the release threshold.
Can the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 be used for AMD-K6 processor power supplies?
Yes, the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 is explicitly qualified for AMD-K6 processors per its datasheet Applications section. It supports the required voltage range (1.3–3.5 V), meets AMD's transient response demands via active voltage positioning, and operates within the same VRM 8.2/8.3 framework used by K6 designs. The ADP3155JRU-REEL7's VID decoding, crowbar protection, and dual linear regulator outputs align with K6 platform power architecture requirements.
What is the role of the CT pin on the ADP3155JRU-REEL7?
The CT pin on the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 connects to an external capacitor that sets the constant off-time (1.8–3.2 µs typical), determining switching frequency in conjunction with VIN/VOUT ratio. A 150 pF capacitor yields ~200 kHz at 2.8 V output. Unlike fixed-frequency controllers, the ADP3155JRU-REEL7's CT-based timing enables stable current-mode operation without slope compensation and adapts frequency to input/output conditions - a key feature confirmed in the Functional Block Diagram and Specifications table.
Does the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 support both active and standby power states in ACPI systems?
Yes, the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 supports ACPI-compliant operation: its main buck output collapses when the 5 V rail drops, while its two linear regulator controllers (VLDO1/VLDO2) remain functional using charge-pump-boosted 5VSB (~9 V), enabling continuous AGP/GTL supply during S3/S4 standby. This dual-state capability is documented in the Application Information section and Figure 14 block diagram - a defining feature of the ADP3155JRU-REEL7 for modern power-managed systems.
