Overview: 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.
