1706-81 is a precision, digitally programmed,
resistive ladder which adjusts the output of any 0.8V
referenced regulator. Depending on the state of the five
VID inputs, an output voltage between 1.3V and 3.5V is
programmed in 50mV and 100mV increments.
The LTC1706-81 is designed specifically to program
an entire family of Linear Technology DC/DC converters in
full compliance with the Intel Desktop (VRM 8.4) VID
specification.
The LTC1706-81 programs the following Linear
Technology DC/DC converter products: LTC1622,
LTC1628, LTC1629, LTC1702, LTC1735, LTC1735-1,
LTC1772 and LTC1929. (Consult factory for future com-
patible DC/DC converter products.)
