3 Description

The LP8769x-Q1 device is designed to meet the

power management requirements of the latest

processors and platforms in various safety-relevant

automotive and industrial applications. The device

has four step-down DC/DC converter cores, that are

configurable for five different phase configurations

from one 4-phase output to four 1-phase outputs. The

device settings can be changed by I2C-compatible

serial interface or by a SPI serial interface.

The automatic PFM/PWM (AUTO mode) operation

together with the automatic phase adding and phase

shedding maximizes efficiency over a wide outputcurrent

range. The LP8769x-Q1 device supports

remote differential voltage sensing for multiphase

outputs to compensate IR drop between the regulator

output and the point-of-load (POL) that improves the

accuracy of the output voltage. The switching clock

can be forced to PWM mode and the phases are

interleaved. The switching can be synchronized to

an external clock and spread-spectrum mode can be

enabled to minimize the disturbances.
