1.3 Features

This EVM has the following features:

  • Regulated 1.2-V output up to 20-ADC steady-state output current
  • The output voltage is marginable and trimmable using the PMBus interface
    • Programmable UVLO, soft-start, and enable via the PMBus interface
    • Programmable overcurrent warning and fault limits and programmable response to faults via the PMBus interface
    • Programmable overvoltage and undervoltage warning and fault limits and programmable response to faults via the PMBus interface
    • Programmable turn-on and turn-off delays
  • Convenient test points for probing critical waveforms
