DC/DC enables, output voltages, operating modes, and
phasing may all be independently programmed over I C
or used in standalone mode via simple I/O with power-up
defaults. The DC/DCs may be used independently or in
parallel to achieve higher output currents of up to 4A per
output with a shared inductor. Alarm levels for high die
