enables a blend of power conversion performance and
power management features.
The ZL6100 is designed to be a flexible building block for DC
power and can be easily adapted to designs ranging from a
single-phase power supply operating from a 3.3V input to a
multi-phase supply operating from a 12V input. The ZL6100
eliminates the need for complicated power supply managers
as well as numerous external discrete components.
All operating features can be configured by simple
pin-strap/resistor selection or through the SMBus™ serial
interface. The ZL6100 uses the PMBus™ protocol for
communication with a host controller and the Digital-DC bus
for communication between other Zilker Labs devices.

measured at the termination of the VSEN+ and VSEN- sense points.
8. The device requires a delay period following an enable signal and prior to ramping its output. Precise timing mode limits this delay period to
approx 2ms, where in normal mode it may vary up to 4ms.
9. Precise ramp timing mode is only valid when using EN pin to enable the device rather than PMBus enable.
10. The devices may require up to a 4ms delay following the assertion of the enable signal (normal mode) or following the de-assertion of the enable
signal.
11. Factory default Power-Good delay is set to the same value as the soft-start ramp time.
