1706-63 is a precision, digitally programmed,
resistive ladder which adjusts the output of any 0.6V
referenced regulator. Depending on the state of the five
VID inputs, an output voltage between 1.025V and 1.4125V
is programmed in 12.5mV increments.
The LTC1706-63 is designed specifically to program
an entire family of Linear Technology DC/DC converters
with on board 0.6V references. Please see the related parts
list at the end of the data sheet.
For a 2-phase synchronous controller with on-board
LTC1706-63, see the LTC3819.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC1706EMS-63 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
With all five VID inputs floating, the V
CC
supply current is simply
the device leakage current. However, the V
CC
supply current will rise and
be approximately equal to the number of grounded VID input pins times
(V
CC
– 0.6V)/40k. (See the VID Input Characteristics section for more
details.)
Note 4:
Each built-in pull-up resistor attached to the VID inputs also has a
series diode connected to V
CC
to allow input voltages higher than the V
CC
supply without damage or clamping. (See Operation section for further
details.)

OPERATIO
The LTC1706-63 is a precision resistive divider designed
specifically for use with an entire family of Linear
Technology Corporation DC/DC switching regulators with
0.6V internal reference and feedback voltage. The
LTC1706-63 produces an output voltage ranging from
1.025V to 1.4125V in 12.5mV steps by closing the loop
between the output voltage sense and the feedback input of
the regulator with the appropriate resistive divider network.

The “top” feedback resistor, R

, connected between
SENSE and FB, is typically 5k and is not modified by the
state of the VID program inputs.
The “bottom” feedback resistor, R

, however, is modi-
fied by the five VID inputs and is precisely ratioed
to R
FB1
.

output voltages is shown in Table 1. Programming is
accomplished by applying the proper voltage (or float
condition) on the five digital VID inputs.

U
When all five VID inputs are high or floating, such as when
no CPU is present in a system, a regulated 1.025V output
is generated at V
SENSE
.
Each VID input pin is pulled up by a 40k resistor in series
with a diode connected to V
CC
. Therefore, it should be
grounded (or driven low) to produce a digital low input. It
can either be floated or connected to V
CC
to get a digital
high input. The series diode is included to prevent the
input from being damaged or clamped when it is driven
higher than V
CC
.
Voltage Sensing and Feedback Pins
The FB pin is a high impedance node that requires mini-
mum layout distance to reduce extra loading and
unwanted stray pickup.
When used with the LTC1629-6, the LTC1706-63’s FB,
SENSE, V
CC
and GND pins should be connected, respec-
tively, with the EAIN, V
DIFFOUT
, INTV
CC
and SGND pins of
the LTC1629-6. The result of this application is a precisely
controlled, variable output voltage supply to any low
voltage, high current system such as a powerful personal
computer, workstation or network server.
VID Input Characteristics
The VID inputs should be driven with a maximum V
IL
of
0.4V and a minimum V
IH
of 1.6V. However, the VID input
range is not limited to values less than V
CC
. Because of the
internal diode between V
CC
and the pull-up resistor, the
inputs can go higher than V
CC
without being clamped to
V
CC
or damaging the input.
This allows the LTC1706-63 to be fully logic compatible
and operational over a higher input voltage range (less
than the 7V absolute maximum rating).
When a VID input is grounded, there will be a higher
quiescent current flow from V
CC
because of a resistor from
V
CC
through a series diode to each one of the inputs. This
increase in quiescent current is calculated from:
I
Q
= N(V
CC
– V
DIODE
)/R
PULLUP
N is the number of grounded VID inputs. V
DIODE
is typically
0.6V while R
PULLUP
has a typical pull-up resistance
of 40kΩ.
