LINEAR Compact I 2C-Controllable Quad Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Regulator for Power-Conscious Portable Processors Design Note 442 Jim Drew

The LTC ®3562 quad output step-down regulator is designed for multicore handheld microprocessor applications that operate from a single Li-Ion battery. Its four monolithic, high effi ciency buck regulators support Intel’s mobile CPU P-State and C-State energy saving operating modes. The output voltages are independently controllable via I2C, and each output can be independently started and shut down. Design- ers can choose from power saving pulse-skipping mode or Burst Mode ® operation, or select low noise LDO mode. The space-saving LTC3562 is available in a 3mm × 3mm QFN package and requires few external components.
