Description
Lattice’s Power Manager II ispPAC-POWR6AT6 is a
general-purpose power-supply monitoring and margin-
ing controller, incorporating in-system programmable
analog functions implemented in non-volatile E
2
CMOS
®
technology
. The ispPAC-POWR6AT6 device provides
six independent analog input channels to monitor up to
six power supply test points. Each of these input chan-
nels offers a differential input to support remote ground
sensing.
The ispPAC-POWR6AT6 incorporates six DACs for gen-
erating a trimming voltage to control the output voltage
of a power supply. The trimming voltage can be set to
four hardware selectable preset values (voltage profiles)
or can be dynamically loaded in to the DAC through the
I
2
C b
us. Additionally, each power supply output voltage
can be maintained within 1% tolerance across various
load conditions using the Digital Closed Loop Control
1. Use 32-pin QFNS package for all new designs. Refer to PCN
#13A-08 for 32-pin QFN package discontinuance.

using external hardware pins.
The on-chip 10-bit A/D converter can both be used to
monitor the V

voltage through the I

C bus as well as
for implementing digital closed loop mode for maintain-
ing the output voltage of all power supplies controlled by
the monitoring and trimming section of the ispPAC-
POWR6AT6 device.
The I

C bus/SMBus interface allows an external micro-
controller to measure the voltages connected to the

analog monitor inputs and load the DACs for the
generation of the trimming voltages of the external DC-
DC converters.
