INTRODUCTION

The SMB113A/B and SMB117/A are highly integrated and flexible four-channel power managers designed for use in a wide range of applications. The built-in digital programmability allows system designers to custom tailor the device to suit almost any multi-channel power supply application from digital camcorders to set-top boxes. Complete with a user friendly GUI, all programmable settings, including output voltages and input/output voltage monitoring, can be customized with ease.

The SMB113A/B and SMB117/A integrate all the essential blocks required to implement a complete four-channel power subsystem consisting of four synchronous step-down “buck” controllers. Additionally sophisticated power control/monitoring functions required by complex systems are built-in. These

include digitally programmable output voltage set point, power up/down sequencing, enable/disable, dynamic voltage management and UV/OV monitoring on all channels.
