Si8250/1/2
Digital Power Controller
The Si825x family of programmable digital power controllers
provides closed-loop feedback control, system protection and
power management functions for switch mode power systems.
The novel Si825x architecture combines a dedicated DSP-based
control loop processor with an in-system programmable system
management processor. This architecture guarantees the control
loop is updated at 10 MHz, regardless of firmware size and
complexity for the fastest possible control response. Firmware can
change all control parameters on the fly (loop gain, compensation,
timing, etc.) enabling the system to quickly and intelligently adapt
to changing operating conditions, such as loading and unloading
transients. The Si825x family is supported by a low-cost
development kit, which includes a complete real-time firmware
kernel with intuitive design tools. Packaged in a tiny 5 x 5 mm 28-
pin QFN package or 32-pin LQFP, the Si825x family provides cost-
effective control solutions that offer greater levels of performance,
controllability, reliability, and flexibility than today's analog-based
designs.
