Application note

Dual step-down controller with auxilary voltages for

notebook system power

Introduction

The PM6681A is a dual step-down controller with adjustable output voltages that can be

used in notebook power systems. This demonstration board represents a typical application

circuit. The PM6681A demonstration board allows testing of all functions of the device and

provides two switching sections, with (typ.) 1.5 V (OUT1) and 1.05 V (OUT2) outputs from

5.5 V to 28 V input battery voltage. The typical operating switching frequency of the two

sections is 200 kHz/300 kHz, respectively. Each switching section delivers more than 5 A of

output current. An internal linear regulator provides a fixed 5 V output voltage. Another

internal linear regulator provides an adjustable output voltage (default 3.3 V). Both linear

regulators can deliver up to 100 mA peak current.
