PRODUCTION DATA
The LP875761-Q1 includes four step-down DC/DC converter cores which are configured as a 4-phase single output.
TheLP875761-Q1 has the following features:
The following parameters can be programmed via registers:
The 4 buck converters in the LP875761-Q1 operate in forced multiphase configuration as one 4-phase converter, which offers several advantages over one power stage converter. For application processor power delivery, lower ripple on the input and output currents and faster transient response to load steps are the most significant advantages. Also, because the load current is evenly shared among multiple channels in multiphase output configuration, the heat generated is greatly decreased for each channel due to the fact that power loss is proportional to square of current. The physical size of the output inductor shrinks significantly due to this heat reduction. Figure 7-1 shows a block diagram of a single core.
Interleaving switching action of the 4-phase converter is shown in Figure 7-2. The 4-phase converter switches each channel 90° apart. As a result, the 4-phase converter has an effective ripple frequency four times greater than the switching frequency of a one phase converter
