Description
The LTC^®2970 is a dual power supply monitor and margin-
ing controller with an SMBus compatible I²C bus interface.
A low-drift, on-chip reference and 14-bit ΔΣ A/D converter
allow precise measurements of supply voltages, load
currents or internal die temperature. Fault management
allows ALERT to be asserted for configurable overvoltage
and undervoltage fault conditions. Two voltage buffered,
8-bit IDACs allow highly accurate programming of DC/DC
converter output voltages. The IDACs can be configured
to automatically servo the power supplies to the desired
voltages using the ADC. The LTC2970-1 adds a tracking
feature that can be used to turn multiple power supplies
on or off in a controlled manner.
The bus address is set to 1 of 9 possible combinations by
pin strapping the ASEL0 and ASEL1 pins. The LTC2970/
LTC2970-1 are packaged in the 24-lead, 4mm × 5mm
QFN package.
