Quick Start Guide for DC371
By Wei Chen
DC371 is an IMVP2 compatible power supply for powering the Intel mobile Tualatin
processor. The input voltage is 7–21V, the output voltage is programmed by the 5-bit
VID which is compatible with the IMVP2 spec. The circuit is designed to deliver 23A
continuous current. The demo board has an on-board dynamic load tester to facilitate the
dynamic load test.
