1.1 Introduction

The LP8769x-Q1 power management integrated circuit (PMIC) family is extremely flexible and scalable, providing configurability at the device and system level. At the device level, a single PMIC can provide up to four separate step down converters (buck regulators). These buck regulators can be used in multiphase mode to provide a single 20A source. At the system level, several PMICs can be configured to work in a controller-target topology with one controller and up to five target PMICs. The LP8769x-Q1 evaluation module (EVM) is both an evaluation and development tool. With the EVM both device level and system level configurability are available through an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) tool.

The LP8769x-Q1 evaluation module (EVM) highlights the performance and flexibility of the LP8769x-Q1 power management integrated circuit (PMIC). The modular design allows the EVMs to be stacked to provide a multi-PMIC design with a single PMIC acting as the controller and up to five PMICs as target. This document can be used in conjunction with the Scalable PMIC's GUI User’s Guide and the LP8769-Q1 High Frequency Quad Step-Down DC-DC.
