Controller is first to offer adjustable start up current

Texas Instruments has launched a new power management controller with adjustable start up current for core voltage regulators.

Featuring 4 and 6bit voltage identification interfaces, the LM10011 is a VID programmer that operates along with a point of load regulator to adjust the input core voltage of a VID enabled processor, such as TI's C6000 power optimised dsps. The module features 1% output accuracy and adjustable output current during start up. It operates over a 2.97 to 5.5V input voltage and can be used with any point of load regulator that has a feedback node.
