ZL8800

DATASHEET ZL8800 Dual Channel/Dual Phase PMBus ChargeMode Control DC/DC Digital Controller FN7558 Rev.6.00 Nov 8, 2017 The ZL8800 is a dual output or dual phase digital DC/DC controller. Each output can operate independently or be used together in a dual phase configuration for high current applications. The ZL8800 supports a wide range of output voltages (0.54V to 5.5V) operating from input voltages as low as 4.5V up to 14V. With the fully digital ChargeMode™ control, the ZL8800 will respond to a transient load step within a single switching cycle. This unique compensation-free modulation technique allows designs to meet transient specifications with minimum output capacitance, thus saving cost and board space. The proprietary single wire Digital-DC™ (DDC) serial bus enables the ZL8800 to communicate between other Intersil ICs. By using the DDC, the ZL8800 achieves complex functions such as inter-IC phase current balancing, sequencing, and fault spreading, eliminating complicated power supply managers with numerous external discrete components. The ZL8800 features cycle-by-cycle output overcurrent protection. The input voltage, output voltages, and DrMOS/MOSFET driver supply voltages are overvoltage and undervoltage protected. One internal temperature sensor and two external temperature sensors are available for temperature monitoring, one of which is used for under-temperature and over-temperature protection. A snapshot parametric capture feature allows users to take a s...
