The LP876242-Q1 device is designed to meet the power management requirements of the latest processors and platforms in various safety-relevant automotive and industrial applications. The device has four step-down DC/DC converter cores, generating four 1-phase outputs. The device settings can be changed by I2C-compatible serial interface or by a SPI serial interface.
The switching clock is forced to PWM mode and the phases are interleaved. The switching can be synchronized to an external clock and spread-spectrum mode can be enabled to minimize the disturbances.
The LP876242-Q1 device includes protection and diagnostic mechanisms such as register and interface CRC, short-circuit protection, thermal monitoring, and shutdown. The LP876242-Q1 device can notify the processor of these events through the interrupt handler, allowing the processor to take action in response.
