PIN FUNCTIONS
of the pin state. Note that using R
CFG/VTRIM0_CFG can affect the V
(MFR_PWM_MODE0[1]) and loop gain. For addressed
ASEL_01, Page 0x00 corresponds to Channel 0, and Page
0x01 corresponds to Channel 1. See PAGE command
description section.
SCL_01, SCL_23 (D10, W9): Serial Bus Clock Open-Drain
Input (Can Be an Input and Output, if Clock Stretching
is Enabled). A pull-up resistor to 3.3V is required in the
application for digital communication to the SMBus main
device(s) that nominally drive this clock. The LTM4683
will never encounter scenarios where it would need to
engage clock stretching unless serial clock line (SCL)
communication speeds exceed 100kHz—and even then,
LTM4683 will not clock stretch unless clock stretching
is enabled by using the setting MFR_CONFIG_ALL[1] =
1b. The factory-default NVM configuration setting has
MFR_CONFIG_ALL[1] = 0b: clock stretching disabled.
If communication on the bus at clock speeds above
100kHz is required, the user's SMBus main device(s)
needs to implement clock stretching support to ensure
solid serial bus communications, and only, then should
MFR_CONFIG_ALL[1] be set to 1b. When clock stretch-
ing is enabled, SCL becomes a bidirectional, open-drain
output pin on the LTM4683.
SYNC_01, SYNC_23 (D11, V9): External Clock
Synchronization Input and Open-Drain Output Pin. If an
external clock is present at this pin, the switching fre-
quency will be synchronized to the external clock. If the
main clock mode is enabled, this pin will pull low at the
switching frequency with a 500ns pulse to the ground. A
resistor pull-up to 3.3V is required in the application if the
LTM4683 is the main device.
V
(E8): Internally Generated 3.3V Power Supply
DD33_01
Output Pin for Channel 0 and Channel 1 Circuits. This pin
should only be used to provide external current for the
pull-up resistors required for FAULTn, SHARE_CLK_nn,
and SYNC_nn, and may be used to provide external cur-
rent for pull-up resistors on RUNn, SDA_nn, SCL_nn,
ALERT_nn and PGOODn. Where nn is either 0,1 or 2,3
channels, and n is the actual channel. No external decou-
pling is required. V
