Digital Power Controllers from Silicon Laboratories

They come in four applications:

DC/DC converters
AC/DC converters
PFC circuits
DC motor control

They are two packages: 5 x 5 mm 28QFN and 32LQFP.

 Single-Chip, Flash Digital Controller:
Supports isolated and non-isolated applications
Supports AC/DC, DC/DC and PFC applications
Enables new system capabilities

Dedicated DSP-Based Loop Processor:
Fixed 10 MHz update rate
Differential input ADC
Loop filter DSP engine 
Hardware pulse-by-pulse current limiting with programmable leading edge blanking
Programmable hardware over-current protection

50 MIPS Flash System Management Processor:
Up to 16, 32 K of Flash
Flash can be used as EEPROM
On-board 2% oscillator
Self-sequencing, 8-channel 12-bit ADC
High-speed, programmable general-purpose comparator
SMBus hardware interface
Enhanced UART for isolated control data link
Four 16-bit timers
3-Channel PCA for timing or additional PWM outputs
High-current, fully-programmable I/O port lines

Comprehensive, Low-Cost Development Kit:
Minimizes learning curve and speeds time-to-market
Real-time firmware kernel greatly reduces firmware development
Intuitive compensator design tool
GUI-based waveform designer/simulator
System configuration wizards
Intuitive IDE with real-time debug
