LTC7883
Quad Output PolyPhase
Step-Down DC/DC Voltage Mode Controller
with Digital Power System Management
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
2
The LTC®7883 is a quad, PolyPhase DC/DC synchronous
step-down switching regulator controller with PMBus
compliant serial interface. It uses a constant frequency,
leading-edge modulation, voltage mode architecture for
excellent transient response and output regulation. Each
PWM channel can produce output voltages from 0.1V
to 5.25V using a wide range of 3.3V compatible power
stages, including power blocks, DrMOS or discrete FET
drivers. LTC7883 devices can operate in parallel, sup-
porting ideal phasor positioning for PolyPhase rails up
to 8-phases.

System configuration and monitoring is supported by the
LTpowerPlay® software tool. The LTC7883 serial interfaces
can read back input voltage, output voltage and current,
temperature and fault status. Most operating parameters
can be set via the digital interfaces or stored in internal
EEPROM for use at power-up. Switching frequency and
phase, output voltage and device address can also be set
using external configuration resistors.
