• WDI/RESETB can be used to put the LTC2977 in the
power-on reset state. Pull WDI/RESETB low for at least
t
RESETB
to enter this state.
• The FAULTBzn lines can be connected together to create
fault dependencies. Figure 21 shows a configuration
where a fault on any FAULTBzn will pull all others low.
This is useful for arrays where it is desired to abort a
start-up sequence in the event any channel does not
come up (see Figure 22).
• PWRGD reflects the status of the outputs that are
mapped to it by the MFR_PWRGD_EN command. Fig-
ure 20 shows all the PWRGD pins connected together,
but any combination may be used.
APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Trimming and Margining DC/DC Converters with
External Feedback Resistors
Figure 23 shows a typical application circuit for trimming/
Figure 23 shows a typical application circuit for trimming/
margining a power supply with an external feedback
network. The V
SENSEP0
and V
SENSEM0
differential inputs
sense the load voltage directly, and a correction voltage
is developed between the V
DACP0
and V
DACM0
pins
by the closed-loop servo algorithm. V
DACM0
is Kelvin
connected to the point-of-load GND in order to minimize
the effects of load induced grounding errors. The V
DACP0
output is connected to the DC/DC converter’s feedback
node through resistor R30. For this configuration, set
Mfr_config_dac_pol to 0.
