Introduction
DA9213, DA9214, and DA9215 are multi-phase buck converters optimized for the supply of CPUs,
GPUs, and DDR memory rails in smartphones, tablets, and other handheld applications.
DA9213 is configured as a single channel 4-phase buck converter capable of delivering up to 20 A
output current. DA9214 is configured as 2-channel, 2-phase buck converter capable of delivering up
to 10 A output current per channel. DA9215 is configured as 2-channel PMIC with a 3-phase buck
converter capable of delivering up to 15 A output current and a single-phase buck converter capable
of delivering up to 5 A output current.
The output voltage is configurable in the range 0.3 to 1.57 V. The input voltage range of 2.8 to 5.5 V
makes it suited for a wide variety of low voltage systems, including all Li-Ion battery supplied
applications.
DA9213, DA9214, and DA9215 Performance Boards have been designed to allow measurement,
evaluation, and programming of the device.
The Power Commander software DA9215_1v5 can be used for DA9213, DA9214, and/or DA9215
Performance Boards. It uses a simple graphical interface, allowing the device to be controlled via the
USB port of a PC. The mini USB connection is visible on the board and as long as the cable is
connected to the USB port of the PC the green LED D3 is on.
The software allows the configuration of the device by write and read operations to all control
registers, and provides monitoring of device status. The software uses operating system Windows
2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7 with a USB1.1 or USB2.0 interface.
