3 Description

The LP8758-E0 device is designed to meet power

management requirements for low-power processors

in mobile phones, network cards, and similar

applications. The device contains four step-down DCDC

converter cores, providing four output voltage

rails. The device is controlled by an I2C-compatible

serial interface.

The automatic PWM-PFM (AUTO mode) operation

maximizes efficiency over a wide output-current

range.

The LP8758-E0 supports programmable start-up and

shutdown sequencing synchronized to hardware

Enable input signal.

The protection features include short-circuit

protection, current limits, input supply UVLO, and

temperature warning and shutdown functions.

Several error flags are provided for status information

of the device. In addition, the LP8758-E0 device

supports load current measurement without the

addition of external current sense resistors. During

start-up and voltage change, the device controls the

output slew rate to minimize output voltage overshoot

and the inrush current.
