The Primarion Di-POLTM PX7542 Power IC is a highly configurable Digital Point-of-Load (POL) Controller with two loops and four PWM outputs. Designed for use in high current buck converter topologies, the controller can operate with either DCR or RDSon current sense configurations. For the DCR current sense, the output range is from 0.5V to [Vcc – 0.9V] and for the RDSon current sense, the output range is from 0.5V to 7.2V. In dual-loop mode, the PX7542 supports two independent outputs with single/dual phase control for each output. In single-loop mode, the PX7542 can provide a single output rail with up to four phases. Chip-to-chip current sharing with up to four phases can be interleaved synchronously for multiphase operation. The PX7542 utilizes digital technology to implement all control functions, providing the ultimate in flexibility and stability. The PX7542 incorporates an industry standard PMBus™ serial interface for real-time system control. Through the serial interface, the power supply designer can quickly optimize designs while monitoring system performance without having to make any hardware adjustments. The PX7542 provides superior accuracy through internal calibration that measures and corrects current sense error sources upon startup. The controller also has programmable current sense temperature compensation that allows the designer to tailor the response for best accuracy over temperature.
