Digital-DC Flexibility

As part of its focus on ease of use, Intersil Zilker Labs designed its Digital-DC power conversion and management devices so that they can be easily adapted to a wide range of requirements and to be easily modified for changing system needs. These flexible devices are equally appropriate for embedded power system designs as well as DC-DC converter modules addressing different power. 
          

Digital-DC devices incorporate a wide range of easily configurable power conversion and power management functions that allow a single device to be applied across a wide range of application scenarios: Adjustable output voltage setpoint and offset trim Adjustable switching frequency Clock synchronization with phase interleaving Inductor DCR or RDS(ON) current sensing Adjustable load-line (droop) impedance Adjustable loop compensation coefficients Configurable logic polarity for Enable and PGOOD signals Precision soft-start/stop delay and ramp times Coincidental or ratio-metric voltage tracking  Closed-loop voltage margining Time-based or event-based sequencing Configurable fault thresholds and fault response methods Additionally, many parameters can be re-configured through the SMBus interface with no hardware changes necessary, allowing a single hardware design to be used across a wide range of applications.   Examples of Digital-DC based designs are available in the Design Gallery.
