Description
Si8250/1/2 provides all control and protection functions necessary to implement
highly intelligent, fast response power delivery and management control systems
for isolated and non-isolated power supplies. On-board processing capability
enables intelligent control optimization for improved system performance and new
capabilities such as serial connectivity via the PMBus or on-board UART. The
Si8250/1/2 family is in-system Flash programmable enabling control and
protection parameters such as system regulation and protection settings, start-up
and shutdown modes, loop response, and modulation timing to be readily
modified. The built-in high-speed control path provides loop updates every 100nS
and provides pulse-by-pulse current limiting and over-current protection even
while the internal CPU is disabled.
The Si825x family is supported by the Si8250DK development kit, which contains
everything required to develop and program power supply applications with the
Si825x family of digital controllers.
