1706-82 is a precision, digitally programmed,
resistive ladder which adjusts the output of any 0.8V
referenced regulator. Depending on the state of the five
VID inputs, an output voltage between 1.10V and 1.85V is
programmed in 25mV increments.
The LTC1706-82 is designed specifically to program an
entire family of Linear Technology DC/DC converters in full
compliance with the Intel VRM9.0/9.1 specifications.
The LTC1706-82 programs the following Linear Technol-
ogy DC/DC converters: LTC1628, LTC1629, LTC1702,
LTC1735, LTC1735-1, LTC1929 and LTC3729.
For a compact VRM9.0/9.1 solution with up to 60A capa-
bility, see the LTC3732, a 3-phase synchronous controller

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC1706-82 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 Applications Information section for more
detail.)
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 LTC1706-82 is a precision resistive divider designed
specifically for use with an entire family of Linear Technol-
ogy Corporation DC/DC switching regulators with 0.8V
internal reference and feedback voltages. The LTC1706-82
produces an output voltage ranging from 1.10V to 1.85V
in 25mV 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
FB1
, connected between
SENSE and FB, is typically 10k and is not modified by the
state of the VID program inputs.
The “bottom” feedback resistor, R
FB2
, however, is modi-
fied by the five VID inputs and is precisely ratioed to R
FB1
.

VID Programming
A list of programmed inputs and their corresponding
output voltages is shown in Table 1. Programming is
accomplished by applying the proper voltage (or float
condition) on the five digital VID inputs. VID4 is the most
significant bit (MSB) and VID0 is the least significant bit
(LSB).
When the five VID inputs are low, or grounded, the
regulator output voltage is set to 1.85V. Each increasing
binary count is equivalent to a decrease of 25mV in the
output voltage. Therefore, to obtain a 1.10V output, only
VID0 is grounded while the other four VID inputs are tied
high or floating.
When all five VID inputs are high or floating, such as when
no CPU is present in a system, a regulated 1.075V output
is generated at V
SENSE
.
