INTRODUCTION
The SMM105 actively controls the output voltage level
of a DC/DC converter that uses a Trim or VADJ/FB pin
to adjust the output. An Active DC Output Control
(ADOCTM) feature is used during normal operation to
maintain extremely accurate settings of supply
voltages and, during system test, to control margining
of the supplies using I2C commands. Total accuracy
with a ±0.1% external reference is ±0.2%, and ±0.5%
using the internal reference. The device can margin
supplies with either positive or negative trim pin control
within a range of 0.3V to VDD. The SMM105 supply
can be from 12V, 8V, 5V or 3.3V to as low as 2.7V to
accommodate any intermediate bus supply.
The voltage settings (margin high/low and nominal)
are programmed into nonvolatile memory through the
industry standard I2C 2-wire data bus. The I2C bus is
also used to enable margin high, margin low, ADOC or
normal operation. When margining, the SMM105 will
check the voltage output of the converter and make
adjustments to the trim pin via a feedback loop to bring
the voltage to the margin setting. A margining status
register is set to indicate that the system is ready for
test. The SMM105 ADOC will continue to monitor and
adjust the channel output at the specified level.
