VT1697SB
Smart Slave IC with Integrated Current and Temperature Sensors
General Description
The VT1697SB is a feature-rich smart slave IC designed to work with Maxim’s seventh-generation masters to implement a high-density multiphase voltage regulator. Up to six smart slave ICs plus a master IC provide a compact synchronous buck converter that includes accurate individual phase current and temperature reporting through SMBus. This smart-slave device includes protection circuits for overtemperature, VX short, all power supplies UVLO faults, and main power supply OVLO fault. If a fault is detected, the slave IC immediately shuts down and sends a fault signal to the master IC.
