LP87522BRNFTQ1

The LP8752x-Q1 device is designed to meet the power-management requirements of the latest processors and platforms in various automotive power applications. The device contains four step-down DC/DC converter cores, which are configured as a 4-phase output, 3-phase and 1-phase outputs, 2-phase and 2-phase outputs, one 2-phase and two 1-phase outputs, or four 1-phase outputs. The device is controlled by an I2C-compatible serial interface and by enable signals.The automatic pulse-width-modulation (PWM) to pulsed-frequency-modulation (PFM) operation (AUTO mode), together with the automatic phase adding and phase shedding, maximizes efficiency over a wide output-current range. The LP8752x-Q1 supports remote differential-voltage sensing for multiphase outputs to compensate IR drop between the regulator output and the point-of-load (POL) improving the accuracy of the output voltage. The switching clock can be forced to PWM mode and also synchronized to an external clock to minimize the disturbances.The LP8752x-Q1 device supports load-current measurement without the addition of external current-sense resistors. The device also supports programmable start-up and shutdown delays and sequences synchronized to enable signals. The sequences can include GPIO signals to control external regulators, load switches, and processor reset. During start-up and voltage change, the device controls the output slew rate to minimize output-voltage overshoot and in-rush current.
