Power Management - Specialized FAQ

Does the LTC3589 include internal bootstrap capacitors?

No, the datasheet specifies that external bootstrap capacitors are required for the high-side drivers of the synchronous buck converters.

Can the I2C interface be used to monitor output currents?

The I2C interface allows for monitoring of output voltages and fault conditions, but direct current measurement is not supported; external sense resistors are typically used for current limiting.
