Output voltage positioning

Output voltage positioning is performed by selecting the controller operative-mode (SVI, PVI

and V_FIX) and by programming the droop function and offset to the reference of both the

sections (See Figure 9). The controller reads the current delivered by each section by

monitoring the voltage drop across the DCR Inductors. The current (IDROOP / IDROOP_NB)

sourced from the FB / NB_FB pin, directly proportional to the read current, causes the

related section output voltage to vary according to the external RFB / RFB_NB resistor so

implementing the desired load-line effect.

L6717 embeds a dual remote-sense buffer to sense remotely the regulated voltage of each

Section without any additional external components. In this way, the output voltage

programmed is regulated compensating for board and socket losses. Keeping the sense

traces parallel and guarded by a power plane results in common mode coupling for any

picked-up noise.
