The LP8754 is designed to meet the power management requirements of the
latest applications processors in mobile phones and similar portable applications. The device
contains six step-down DC/DC converter cores, which are
bundled together in a 6-phase buck converter. The device is fully controlled by a
Dynamic
Voltage Scaling (DVS) interface or an I2C-compatible serial
interface.
The automatic PWM/PFM operation together with the automatic phase adding/shedding
maximizes efficiency over a wide output current range. The LP8754 supports remote differential voltage sensing
to compensate IR drop between
the regulator output and the point-of-load thus improving the accuracy of the output
voltage.
The protection features include short-circuit protection, current limits, input OVP,
UVLO, temperature warning, and shutdown functions. Several error flags are provided for status
information of the IC. In addition, I2C read-back
includes total load current and load current for each buck core: The LP8754 has the ability to sense
current being delivered to the load without the addition of current sense resistors. During
start-up, the device controls the output voltage slew rate to minimize overshoot and the inrush
current.

orderable addendum at the end of the datasheet. The LP8754 is designed to meet the power management requirements of the
