Benefits
Multi-Phase operation delivers better transient performance, lower losses, better efficiency, optimized thermal dissipation, and minimized ripple current and voltages when compared to a single-phase architecture
Lower PCB costs and smaller components with lower overall heights for low profile applications
Flexibility - Offers the opportunity to optimally place the Inductors and capacitors close to the point of load
Distributed power dissipation –more even distribution of heat – critical for efficient thermal management
Remote sensing guarantees the highest accuracy and supports multiple PCB routing scenarios without loss of performance
Fully programmable soft start limits the inrush current from the input to give a slope-controlled output voltage
Dynamic voltage control (DVC) enables adaptive adjustment of the supply voltage dependent on the load. This increases efficiency when the downstream circuitry enters low power or idle mode, resulting in power savings
Configurable GPIOs support a range of features including I2C, DVC and Power Good indicator
