DESCRIPTION
The UCD9224 is a multi-rail, multi-phase
synchronous buck digital PWM controller designed for
non-isolated DC/DC power applications. This device
integrates dedicated circuitry for DC/DC loop
management with flash memory and a serial interface
to support configurability, monitoring and
management.
The UCD9224 was designed to provide a wide
variety of desirable features for non-isolated DC/DC
converter applications while minimizing the total
system component count by reducing external
circuits. The solution integrates multi-loop
management with sequencing, margining, tracking
and intelligent phase management to optimize for
total system efficiency. Additionally, loop
compensation and calibration are supported without
the need to add external components.
To facilitate configuring the device, the Texas
Instruments Fusion Digital Power™ Designer is
provided. This PC based Graphical User Interface
offers an intuitive interface to the device. This tool
allows the design engineer to configure the system
operating parameters for the application, store the
configuration to on-chip non-volatile memory and
observe both frequency domain and time domain
simulations for each of the power stage outputs.
TI has also developed multiple complementary power
stage solutions – from discrete drivers in the UCD7k
family to fully tested power train modules in the PTD
family. These solutions have been developed to
complement the UCD9k family of system power
controllers.
