ZL8802
Dual Channel/Dual Phase PMBus ChargeMode Control DC/DC Digital Controller
The
ZL8802
is a dual output or dual phase digital DC/DC
controller. Each output can operate independently or be used
together in a dual phase configuration for high current
applications supporting 2-, 4-, 6-, and 8-phase operation with
up to four ZL8802 controllers.
The ZL8802 supports a wide range of output voltages
(0.54V to 5.5V) operating from input voltages as low as 4.5V
up to 14V.
With the fully digital ChargeMode control, the ZL8802 will
respond to a transient load step within a single switching cycle.
This unique compensation-free modulation technique allows
designs to meet transient specifications with minimum output
capacitance, thus saving cost and board space.
The proprietary single-wire Digital-DC™ (DDC) serial bus
enables the ZL8802 to communicate between other Intersil
digital power ICs. By using the DDC, the ZL8802 achieves
complex functions such as inter-IC phase current balancing,
sequencing, and fault spreading. This eliminates complicated
power supply managers with numerous external discrete
components.
The ZL8802 features fast output overcurrent protection. The
input voltage, output voltages, and DrMOS/MOSFET driver
supply voltages are overvoltage and undervoltage protected.
Two external temperature sensors and one internal
temperature sensor are available for temperature monitoring,
one of which can be configured for under- and over-
temperature protection. A snapshot parametric capture
feature allows users to take a snapshot of operating and fault
data during normal or fault conditions.
Integrated Low Dropout (LDO) regulators allow the ZL8802 to
operate from a single input supply eliminating the need for
additional linear regulators. The VDRV LDO output can be used
to power external drivers or DrMOS devices.
With full PMBus compliance, the ZL8802 is capable of
measuring and reporting input voltage, input current, output
voltage, output current, as well as the device’s internal
temperature, two external temperatures, and an auxiliary
voltage or temperature input.

DESCRIPTION
Serial clock. Connect to external host and/or to other ZL devices. Requires a pull-up resistor to a 2.5V to 5.5V
(VR5 recommended, do not use V25) source. Pull-up supply must be from an “always on” source or VR5.
Serial data. Connect to external host and/or to other ZL devices. Requires a pull-up resistor to a 2.5V to 5.5V
(VR5 recommended, do not use V25) source. Pull-up supply must be from an “always on” source or VR5.
Serial alert. Connect to external host if desired. Requires a pull-up resistor to a 2.5V to 5.5V (recommend VR5, do not use
V25) source. Leave floating if not used.
Connect to low impedance ground plane. Internal connection to SGND. All pin-strap resistors should be connected to SGND.
SGND must be connected to DGND and PGND using a single point connection.

“Configurable Pins” on page 12
and
Table 8 on page 14
for details.
Selects current sense, current limit, and operating mode. See
“Configurable Pins” on page 12
and
Table 8 on page 14
for
details.
Channel 0 output voltage selection pin. Used to set V
OUT0
