3 Description

The LP8733xx is designed to meet the power

management requirements in industrial applications.

The device has two step-down DC/DC converters

(which can be configured as a single dual-phase

regulator or two single-phase regulators), two linear

regulators, and two general-purpose digital-output

signals. The device is controlled by an I2C-compatible

serial interface and by an enable signal.

The automatic PWM/PFM (AUTO mode) operation

together with the automatic phase adding/shedding

gives high efficiency over a wide output-current

range. The LP8733xx supports remote voltage

sensing (differential in dual-phase configuration) to

compensate IR drop between the regulator output and

the point-of-load (POL), thus improving the accuracy

of the output voltage. In addition, the switching clock

can be forced to PWM mode and also synchronized to

an external clock to minimize the disturbances.

The LP8733xx device supports programmable startup

and shutdown delays and sequences including

GPO signals synchronized to the enable signal.

During start-up and voltage change, the device

controls the output slew rate to minimize output

voltage overshoot and the in-rush current.
