Over-Current Protection
All outputs are protected against excessive over-
current.

28 A current sink, and increments the counter.
Css recharges and initiates a soft-start cycle again
until the counter increments to 3. This sets the fault
latch to disable all outputs. Fig. 6 illustrates the
over-current protection until an over load on OUT1.
Should excessive current cause VSEN to fall below
the linear under-voltage threshold, the LUV signal
sets the over-current latch if Css is fully charged.
Cycling the bias input power (off then on reset the

OUT1 Voltage Program
The output voltage of the PWM1 converter is pro-
grammed to discrete levels between 1.3V to 3.5V.

OUT2 Voltage Selection
The AGP regulator output voltage is internally set to
one of two discrete levels, based on the SELECT
pin status. Left SELECT pin open, internal pulled
high, the output voltage is 3.3V. Grounding SE-
LECT pin will get the 1.5V output voltage.
The status of the SELECT pin can not be changed
during operation of the IC without immediatelly
causing a fault condition.
Shutdown
Neither PWM output switches until the soft-start
voltage exceeds the oscillator’s vally voltage. Addi-
tional, the reference on each linear’s amplifier is
clamped to the soft-start voltage. Holding the SS
pin low turns of all four regulators.
The VID codes resulting in an INHIBIT as shown in
Table 1 also shut down the IC.
Oscillator Synchronization
The AIC1573 avoids the problem of cross talk b e-
tween the converters by way of phase control
method. Therefore, for both output voltage settings
less than 2.4V or both greater than 2.4V, PWM1
operates out of phase with PWM2. For one PWM
output voltage setting below 2.4V and the other
PWM output voltage setting of 2.4V and above,
PWM1 operates in phase with PWM2.
