The simplest configuration of the Digital Power Peripherals highlighting the key blocks involved in loop
control is shown below:
Figure 1-1.
The Error ADC (in the Front End) accepts a differential voltage signal as an input. It measures the
difference between this input and a digitally controlled reference voltage and generates a digital error
output. It passes this digital error information to the Filter. The Error ADC (or EADC) is a specialized high
speed, high resolution ADC with a small dynamic range, optimized for power supply error measurement.
The Filter takes the error signal and passes it through a PID based digital filter which compensates for the
characteristics of the external loop. This filter can be dynamically reprogrammed for changing power load
source, and circuit characteristics. It also offers non-linear response capability for better handling of
transients.
