Data Brief
VFQFPN40
Description
L6756 is a two-to-four phase controller designed
to power Intel’s most demanding Processors and,
most in general, low-voltage, high-current power
supplies. The device features LTB technology
provide the fastest response to load transients
thus minimizing the output filter composition.
L6756 embeds selectable DAC: Output Voltage is
programmable up to 1.6000 V (Intel VR10 and
VR11.x DACs) or up to 1.550 V (AMD 6bit DAC)
managing DVID transitions with ±0.5 % output
voltage accuracy over line, load and temperature
variations.
The device assures fast protection against load
over current and under / over voltage. Feedback
disconnection prevents from damaging the load in
case of misconnections in the system board.
Low-Side-Less start-up allows soft-start over prebiased output avoiding dangerous current return
through the main inductors as well as negative
spike at the load side.
L6756 is available in VFQFPN40 7x7 mm
package.
