Overview

Description

The ZL6100 is an integrated mixed-signal power conversion and management IC that combines an efficient step-down DC/DC converter with key power and thermal management functions in a single package. The ZL6100 incorporates current sharing and adaptive efficiency-optimization algorithms to provide a flexible, efficient power IC building block.

The ZL6100EVAL1Z platform is a 4-layer board used to demonstrate a 15A synchronous buck converter. Sequencing, tracking, margining, plus other features can be evaluated using this board.

A USB to SMBus adapter board can be used to connect the evaluation board to a PC. The PMBus command set is accessed by using Renesas' PowerNavigator™ evaluation software from a PC running Microsoft Windows.
