INTRODUCTION
The SMB214A/B/C are highly integrated and flexible three-
channel power managers designed for use in a wide range of
applications. The built-in digital programmability allows system
designers to custom tailor the device to suit almost any multi-
channel power supply application from digital camcorders to
set-top boxes. Complete with a user friendly GUI, all
programmable settings, including output voltages and
input/output voltage monitoring, can be customized with ease.
The SMB214A/B/C integrate all the essential blocks required to
implement a complete three-channel power subsystem
consisting of three synchronous step-down “buck” controllers.
Additionally sophisticated power control/monitoring functions
required by complex systems are built-in. These include
digitally programmable output voltage set point, power-
up/down sequencing, enable/disable, dynamic voltage
management and UV/OV monitoring on all channels.
The integration of features and built-in flexibility of the
SMB214A/B/C allows the system designer to create a “platform
solution” that can be easily modified via software without major
hardware changes. Combined with the re-programmability of
the SMB214A/B/C, this facilitates rapid design cycles and
proliferation from a base design to future product generations.
The SMB214A/B/C are suited to a wide variety of applications
with an input range of +2.7V to +6.0V. Higher input voltage
operation can easily be implemented with a small number of
external components. Output voltages are extremely accurate
(<2.5%). Communication is accomplished via the industry
2
standard I C bus. All user-programmed settings are stored in
non-volatile EEPROM. The devices are offered in both the
commercial and the industrial operating temperature range.
The package type is a lead-free, RoHS compliant, 5x5 QFN-
32.

SMB214A/B/C
Preliminary Information
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SMB214A/B/C are fully programmable DC-DC
controllers that incorporate power delivery and
advanced power monitoring and control functionality.
The devices integrate three synchronous “buck” step-
down controllers in a space saving 5x5 QFN-32
package.
The SMB214A uses a fixed 400kHz whereas the
SMB214B uses a fixed 800kHz, and the SMB214C a
fixed 1MHz Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control
circuit.
A type-three voltage mode compensation
network is used offering a cost effective solution without
compromising transient response performance. By
utilizing external N- and P–type MOSFET transistors
the efficiency and load current level can be customized
to fit a wide array of system requirements.
The SMB214A/B/C contain three buck outputs capable
of producing an output voltage less than the input
voltage. Each buck output voltage is set by an internal
resistor divider and a programmable voltage reference.
The integrated resistor divider eliminates the cost and
space necessary for external components and has
several programmable values.
Through the
programmability of the reference and the resistor
divider, practically any output voltage smaller than the
battery can be produced without the need to change
external components.
The SMB214A/B/C are capable of power-on/off
cascade sequencing where each channel can be
assigned one of three unique sequence positions.
During sequencing each channel in a given sequencing
position is guaranteed to reach its programmed output
voltage before the channel(s) occupying the next
sequence position initiate their respective soft-start
sequence.
A unique programmable delay exists
between each power on/off sequence position. In
addition to power on/off sequencing all supplies can be
powered on/off individually through an I
2
C command or
by assertion of the enable pin.
Each output voltage is monitored for under-voltage and
over-voltage (UV/OV) conditions, using a comparator-
based circuit where the output voltage is compared
against an internal programmable reference.
An
additional feature of the output voltage monitoring is a
programmable glitch filter capable of digitally filtering a
transient OV/UV fault condition from a true system
error. When a fault is detected for a period in excess of
the glitch filter, all supplies may be sequenced down or
immediately disabled and an output status pin can be
asserted.
The current system status is always
accessible via internal registers containing the status of
all three channels.
The SMB214A/B/C also possess an Under-voltage
Lockout (UVLO) circuit to ensure the devices will not
power up until the input voltage has reached a safe
operating voltage.
The UVLO function exhibits
hysteresis, ensuring that noise or a brown out voltage
on the supply rail does not inadvertently lead to a
system failure.
The
SMB214A/B/C
provide
dynamic
voltage
management over all of their output voltages. Through
an I
2
C command, all output voltage levels can be
increased or decreased to a pre-programmed level. In
addition, each output is slew rate limited by soft-start
circuitry that requires no external capacitors.
All programmable settings on the SMB214A/B/C are
stored in non-volatile registers and are easily accessed
and modified over an industry standard I
2
C serial bus.
For fastest prototype development times Summit offers
an evaluation card and a Graphical User Interface
(GUI).

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Number
Pin Type
Pin Name
Pin Description
The HSDRV_CH0 (Channel 0 High-side Driver) pin is the upper
switching node of the channel 0 synchronous step-down buck
controller. Attach to the gate of p-channel MOSFET. A delay
exists between the assertion of HSDRV_CH0 and assertion of
LSDRV_CH0 to prevent excessive current flow during switching.
The HEALTHY pin is an open drain output. High when all
enabled output supplies are within the programmed levels.
HEALTHY will ignore any disabled supply.
There is a
programmable glitch filter on the under-voltage and over-voltage
sensors so that short transients outside of the limits will be
ignored by HEALTHY. This pin can also be programmed to act
as a Reset Output (nRESET). In this case, it releases with a
programmable delay after all outputs are valid. When used, this
pin should be pulled high by an external pull-up resistor.
The COMP1_CH0 (Channel 0 primary Compensation) pin is the
primary feedback input of the channel 0 step-down buck
controller. The COMP1_CH0 pin is internally connected to a
programmable resistor divider.
The COMP2_CH0 (Channel 0 secondary Compensation) pin is
the secondary feedback input of the channel 0 step-down buck
controller.
The VM_CH0 (Channel 0 Voltage Monitor) pin connects the
channel 0 step-down controller output. Internally the VM_CH0 pin
connects to a programmable resistor divider.
SDA (Serial Data) is an open drain bi-directional pin used as the
I
2
C data line. SDA must be tied high through a pull-up resistor.
SCL (Serial Clock) is an open drain input pin used as the I
2
C
clock line. SCL must be tied high through a pull-up resistor.
The LSDRV_CH1 (Channel 1 Low-side Driver) pin is the lower
switching node of the channel 1 synchronous step-down buck
controller. Attach to the gate of n-channel MOSFET.
Channel 1 High Voltage Supply for Channel 1 buck driver.
The HSDRV_CH1 (Channel 1 High-side Driver) pin is the upper
switching node of the channel 1 synchronous step-down buck
controller. Attach to the gate of p-channel MOSFET. A delay
exists between the assertion of HSDRV_CH1 and assertion of
LSDRV_CH1 to prevent excessive current flow during switching.
The HOST_RESET pin is an active high reset input. When this
pin is asserted high, the nRESET output will immediately go low.
When HOST_RESET is brought low, nRESET will go high after a
programmed reset delay. When pin 2 is used as a HEALTHY
output, this pin needs to be attached to GND or VBATT via a
resistor.
The COMP1_CH1 (Channel 1 primary Compensation) pin is the
primary compensation input of the channel 1 step-down buck
controller. The COMP1_CH1 pin is internally connected to a
programmable resistor divider.
The COMP2_CH1 (Channel 1 secondary Compensation) pin is
the secondary compensation input of the channel 1 step-down
buck controller.
