DESCRIPTION
•
Supports Switching Frequencies Up to 2MHz
With 250 ps Duty-Cycle Resolution
The UCD9244 is a four-rail synchronous buck digital
PWM controller designed for non-isolated DC/DC
power applications. This device integrates dedicated
circuitry for DC/DC loop management with support for
up to four VID interfaces. Additionally, the UCD9244
has flash memory and a serial interface to support
configurability, monitoring and management.

•
Up To 1mV Closed Loop Resolution
Hardware-Accelerated, 3-Pole/3-Zero
Compensator with Non-Linear Gain for
Improved Transient Performance
•
Supports Multiple Soft-Start and Soft-Stop
Configurations Including Prebias Start-up
Several Voltage Identification (VID) modes are
supported, including a 4-bit parallel interface, a 6-bit
interface and an 8-bit serial interface.
•
•
Supports Voltage Margining and Sequencing
Sync In Pin Aligns DPWM Clocks Between
Multiple UCD92xx Devices
The UCD9244 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

circuits.
The
solution
integrates
multi-loop
management with sequencing, margining and
tracking to optimize for total system efficiency.
Additionally, loop compensation and calibration are
supported without the need to add external
components.
•
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 UCD92xx family of system power
controllers.
