GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
• Quad Channel Step-down Controller
The XRP7725 is a quad channel Digital Pulse
Width Modulated (DPWM) Step down (buck)
controller. A wide 4.75V to 5.5V and 5.5V to
25V input voltage dual range allows for single
supply operation from standard power rails.
− Digital PWM 105kHz-1.23MHz Operation
− Individual Channel Frequency Selection
− Patented digital PFM with Ultrasonic mode
− Patented Over Sampling Feedback
With integrated FET gate drivers, two LDOs for
standby power and a 105kHz to 1.23MHz
independent channel to channel programmable
constant operating frequency, the XRP7725
reduces overall component count and solution
footprint and optimizes conversion efficiencies.
A selectable digital Pulse Frequency Mode
(DPFM) and low operating current result in
better than 80% efficiency down to 10mA load
provides support for portable and Energy Star
compliant applications. Each XRP7725 output
channel is individually programmable down to
a minimum 0.6V with a resolution of 2.5mV,
and configurable for precise soft start and soft
stop sequencing, including delay and ramp
control.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
external circuitry. The 3.3V LDO is solely for
customer use and is not used by the chip.
There is also a 1.8V linear regulator which is
for internal use only and should not be used
externally.
The XRP7725 is a quad-output digital pulse
width modulation (DPWM) controller with
integrated
gate
drivers
for
use
with
synchronous buck switching regulators. Each
output voltage can be programmed from 0.6V
to 5.5V without the need for an external
voltage
divider.
The
wide
range
of
programmable DPWM switching frequency
(from 105 kHz to 1.2 MHz) enables the user to
optimize for efficiency or component sizes.
Since the digital regulation loop requires no
external
passive
components,
loop
performance is not compromised due to
external component variation or operating
condition.
A key feature of the XRP7725 is its advinced
power management capabilities. All four
outputs are independently programmable and
provide the user full control of the delay,
ramp, and sequence during power up and
power down. The user may also control how
the outputs interact and power down in the
event of a fault. This includes active ramp
down of the output voltages to remove an
output voltage as quickly as possible. Another
useful feature is that the outputs can be
defined and controlled as groups.
The XRP7725 provides a number of critical
safety
features,
such
as
Over-Current
Protection (OCP), Over-Voltage Protection
(OVP), Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
plus input Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO). In
addition, a number of key health monitoring
features such as warning level flags for the
safety functions, Power Goods (PGOOD), etc.,
plus full monitoring of system voltages and
currents. The above are all programmable
and/or readable from the SMBus and many
are steerable to the GPIOs for hardware
monitoring.
The XRP7725 has two main types of
programmable memory. The first type is
runtime registers that contain configuration,
control and monitoring information for the
chip. The second type is rewritable NonVolatile Flash Memory (NVFM) that is used for
permanent storage of the configuration data
along with various chip internal functions.
During power up, the run time registers are
loaded from the NVFM allowing for standalone
operation.
The XRP7725 brings an extremely high level of
functionality
and
performance
to
a
programmable
power
system.
Ever
decreasing product budgets require the
designer
to
quickly
make
good
cost/performance tradeoffs to be truly
successful. By incorporating four switching
channels, two user LDOs, a charge pump
boost controller, along with internal gate
drivers, all in a single package, the XRP7725
allows for extremely cost effective power
system designs. Another key cost factor that
is often overlooked is the unanticipated
Engineering Change Order (ECO). The
programmable versatility of the XRP7725,
along with the lack of hard wired configuration
components, allows for minor and major
changes to be made in circuit by simple
reprogramming.
For hardware communication, the XRP7725
has two logic level General Purpose InputOutput (GPIO) pins and three, 15V, open
drain, Power System Input-Output (PSIO)
pins. Two pins are dedicated to the SMBus
data (SDA) and clock (SCL). Additional pins
include Chip Enable (Enable), Aux Boost
Feedback (BFB) and External PLL Capacitor
(CPLL).
In addition to providing four switching outputs,
the XRP7725 also provides control for an Aux
boost supply, and two stand-by linear
regulators that produce 5V and 3.3V for a total
of seven customer usable supplies in a single
device.
The 5V LDO is used for internal power and is
also available for customer use to power

Figure 16: XRP7725 Regulation Loops
Figure 16 shows a simplified functional block
diagram of the regulation loops for one output
channel of the XRP7725. There are four
separate parallel control loops; Pulse Width
Modulation
(PWM),
Pulse
Frequency
Modulation (PFM), Ultrasonic, and Over
Sampling (OVS). Each of these loops is fed by
the Analog Front End (AFE) as shown at the
left of the diagram. The AFE consist of an
input voltage scaler, a programmable Voltage
Reference (Vref) DAC, Error Amplifier, and a
window comparator. Some of the functional
blocks are common and shared by each
channel by means of a multiplexer.
1. For output voltages from 1.6V to 3.2V (mid
range) the scaler gain is 1/2 and for voltages
greater than 3.2V (high range) the gain is 1/4.
This results in the low range having an output
voltage resolution of 12.5mV, the mid range
having a resolution of 25mV and the high
range having a resolution of 50mV. The error
amp has a gain of 4 and compares the output
voltage of the scaler to Vref to create an error
voltage on its output. This is converted to a
digital error term by the AFE ADC and is
stored in the error register. The error register
has a fine adjust function that can be used to
improve the output voltage set point
resolution by a factor of 5 resulting in a low
range resolution of 2.5mV, a mid range
resolution of 5mV and a high range resolution
of 10mV. The output of the error register is
then used by the Proportional Integral
Derivative (PID) controller to manage the loop
dynamics.
PWM Loop
The PWM loop operates in Voltage Control
Mode (VCM) with optional VIN feed forward
based on the voltage at the VCC pin. The
reference voltage (Vref) for the error amp is
generated by a 0.15V to 1.6V DAC that has
12.5mV resolution. In order to provide a 0.6V
to 5.5V output voltage range, an input scaler
is used to reduce feedback voltages for higher
output voltages to bring them within the 0.15V
to 1.6V control range. So for output voltages
up to 1.6V (low range) the scaler has a gain of
The XRP7725 PID is a 17-bit five-coefficient
control engine that calculates the required
duty cycle under the various operating
conditions and feeds it to the Digital Pulse
Width Modulator (DPWM). Besides the normal

The XRP7725 DPWM includes a special delay
timing loop that provides a timing resolution
that is 16 times the master oscillator
frequency (103MHz) for a timing resolution of
607ps for both the driver pulse width and dead
time delays. The DWPM produces the Gate
High (GH) and Gate Low (GL) signals for the
driver. The maximum and minimum on-times
and dead time delays are programmable by
configuration resisters.
