A low-drift, on-chip reference and 14-bit ΔΣ A/D converter
allow precise measurements of supply voltages, load
currents or internal die temperature. Fault management
allows ALERT to be asserted for configurable overvoltage
and undervoltage fault conditions. Two voltage buffered,
8-bit IDACs allow highly accurate programming of DC/DC
converter output voltages. The IDACs can be configured
to automatically servo the power supplies to the desired
voltages using the ADC. The LTC2970-1 adds a tracking
feature that can be used to turn multiple power supplies
on or off in a controlled manner.
