MAJOR IC INTERNAL BLOCK DIAGRAM AND PIN DESCRIPTION (USB Bridge Board) IC101(PL2507C) : Hi-Speed USB 2.0 to IDE Bridge Controller 1-1. General description The PL-2507C is a single chip Hi-Speed USB-to-IDE bridge controller that is designed to perform seamless protocol transfer between the USB and ATA interface. The operating speed is determined by the capability of the host/hub it is connected to.
IC505(APW1172) :2.5A SWITCH STEP DOWN SWITCHING REGULATOR 1. General Description The APW1172 is a step down monolithic power switching regulator with a switching current limit of 3.8A so it is able to deliver more than 2.5A DC current to the load depending on the application conditions. The output voltage can be set from 1.235V to 22V.The high current level is also achieved utilize an SO8 package with exposed pad frame.
3. Block Diagram 4. Pin Function Description Description Regulator Output. SYNC Master/Slave synchonization. A logical signal (active high) disables the device. If INH not used the pin must be connected to GND. When it is open an internal pull-up disable the device. COMP E/A output for frequency compensation.
