GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRP7708 and XRP7740 are quad-output
pulse-width modulated (PWM) step-down DC-
DC controllers with a built-in LDO for standby
power and GPIOs. The devices provide a
complete power management solution in one
IC and are fully programmable via an I
2
C
serial interface. Independent Digital Pulse
Width Modulator (DPWM) channels regulate
output voltages and provide all required
protection functions such as current limiting
and over-voltage protection.
Each output voltage can be programmed from
0.9V to 5.1V without the need of an external
voltage divider. The wide range of the
programmable DPWM switching frequency
(from 300 KHz to 1.5 MHz) enables the user to
optimize between efficiency and component
size. Input voltage range is from 6.5V to 20V.
An I
2
C bus interface is provided to program
the IC as well as to communicate with the host
for fault reporting and handling, power rail
parameters monitoring, etc.
The device offers a complete solution for soft-
start and soft-stop. The start-up delay and
ramp of each PWM regulator can be
independently controlled. The device can start
up a pre-biased PWM channel without causing
large negative inductor current.
