Offset automatically given by the DAC selection or by VID5 when VID_SEL=SGND differs from the offset

implemented through the OFFSET pin: the built-in feature is trimmed in production and assures ±0.5%

error (±0.6% for the Hammer DAC) over load and line variations while implementing the same offset

through the OFFSET pin causes additional errors to be considered in the total output voltage precision.

When the Integrated Thermal Sensor is enabled (see Figure 12 and following section), the pin programs,

in the same way as before, a negative offset. This is to compensate the positive native offset introduced

and no more subtracted as before):

Offset resistor is designed to compensate the ITS native offset as described in the following section.

The Offset function can be disabled by shorting the pin to SGND.

INTEGRATED THERMAL SENSOR

Current sense elements have non-negligible temperature variations: considering either inductor or LS

mosfet sense, the sensing elements modify proportionally to varying temperature. As a consequence, the

sensed current is subjected to a measurement error that causes the regulated voltage to vary accordingly.

To recover from this temperature related error, a temperature compensation circuit is integrated into the

controller: the internal temperature is sensed and the droop current is corrected (according to a scaling
