DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®2970 is a dual power supply monitor and
margining controller with an SMBus compatible I C bus
■
Less Than ±±0.5 Total Unadjusted Error 14-Bit ΔΣ

ADC with On-Chip Reference

Dual, 8-Bit IDACs with 1x Voltage Buffers
interface. A low-drift, on-chip reference and 14-bit ΔΣ A/D
converterallowprecisemeasurementsofsupplyvoltages,
load currents or internal die temperature. Fault manage-
ment allows ALERT to be asserted for configurable over
and under voltage 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.
