EP53A8xQI PowerSoC 

Dynamically Adjustable Output 

 

The  EP53A8xQI  is designed to allow for dynamic switching between the 
predefined voltage levels by toggling the VID pins.  The inter-voltage slew rate is 
optimized to prevent excess undershoot or overshoot as the output voltage levels 
transition.   The slew rate is defined in the datasheet. 
 
This feature can be tested by connecting the VSx jumper center pins to logic 
driver to toggle between the various V

OUT

 states.
