DESCRIPTION
The UCD9112 is dual-phase synchronous buck
digital PWM controller that supports point of load
(POL) applications. The device is configured thru
the use of a graphical user interface (GUI). The loop
compensator is configurable with the GUI to meet
dynamic converter performance allowing a single
hardware design to cover a broad range of POL
applications.
In addition to digital control loop, the UCD9112 is
able to monitor and manage power supply operating
conditions and report the status to the host system
through PMBus. The management parameters are
configurable through GUI. The GUI also allows the
power supply designer to easily configure the digital
control loop characteristics and generate the gain
and phase information for analysis using bode plots.
To ensure balanced outputs on each phase, the
UCD9112 incorporates a current balancing scheme.
The PWM output of the dual phase controller is
capable of operating at a switching frequency of up
to 2MHz with a relative phase adjustment of 180
o
.
The UCD7230 synchronous buck driver has been
designed to work with the UCD9112 controller to
provide a highly integrated digital power solution. In
addition to 4A output drive capability, the driver
integrates current limit, short circuit protection as well
as under-voltage lockout protection. The UCD7230
also has a 3.3V, 10mA linear regulator that provides
the supply current for the controller
