Supports Multiple Soft-Start and Soft-Stop
Configurations Including Prebias Start-up
The UCD9224 is
a
multi-rail, multi-phase
synchronous buck digital PWM controller designed for
non-isolated DC/DC power applications. This device
integrates dedicated circuitry for DC/DC loop
management with flash memory and a serial interface
Supports Voltage Tracking, Margining and
Sequencing
Supports Current and Temperature Balancing
for Multi-Phase Power Stages
to
support
configurability,
monitoring
and
management.
Supports Phase Adding/Shedding for
Multi-Phase Power Stages
The UCD9224 was designed to provide a wide
variety of desirable features for non-isolated DC/DC
converter applications while minimizing the total
system component count by reducing external
Sync In/Out Pins Align DPWM Clocks Between
Multiple UCD92xx Devices

Multiple Levels of Over-current Fault
Protection:
To facilitate configuring the device, the Texas
Instruments Fusion Digital Power™ Designer is
provided. This PC based Graphical User Interface
offers an intuitive interface to the device. This tool
allows the design engineer to configure the system
operating parameters for the application, store the
configuration to on-chip non-volatile memory and
observe both frequency domain and time domain
simulations for each of the power stage outputs.

TI has also developed multiple complementary power
stage solutions – from discrete drivers in the UCD7k
family to fully tested power train modules in the PTD
family. These solutions have been developed to
complement the UCD9k family of system power
controllers.
