3 Description

The LP8772x-Q1 device is designed to meet the

power management requirements of the AWR, IWR,

and other MMICs in various automotive and industrial

radar applications. The device has three step-down

DC/DC converters, a LDO regulator, and a load

switch. The LDO is powered externally and intended

for supplying Ethernet device or any other device in

the system. The load switch is intended to cut off the

3.3 V IO supply during the sensor sleep mode. The

device is controlled by I2C communication interface

and by enable signals.

The low noise step-down DC/DC converters support

factory programmed switching frequency of 17.6 MHz

or 8.8 MHz or 4.4 MHz. High switching frequency

and low noise across wide frequency range, enables

LDO-free power solution which helps to reduce the

solution cost and improve thermal performance. The

switching clock is forced to PWM mode for excellent

RF performance and can also be synchronized to

an external clock. The LP8772x-Q1 device supports

remote voltage sensing to compensate IR drop

between the regulator output and the point-of-load

(POL) which improves the accuracy of the output

voltage.
