Add driver for LT7170/LT7170-1, LT7171/LT7171-1

csarip commented 2 months ago

Pull Request Description

The LT7170/LT7170-1 are monolithic DC/DC synchronous step-down regulators that deliver up to 20 A of continuous output current. The LT7170-1 option has two switching phases that are connected to two inductors to drive a single-regulated output supply.

Similarly, the LT7171/LT7171-1 are monolithic PolyPhase DC/DC synchronous step-down regulators that also deliver up to 20A of continuous output current. The LT7171-1 option has two switching phases that are connected to two inductors to drive a single-regulated output supply.

Both series offer quick, clean, low-overshoot switching edges deliver high efficiency while minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions.

An I2C-based PMBus 1.3-compliant serial interface allows control of device functions while providing telemetry information for system monitoring. The LT7170/LT7170-1 and LT7171/LT7171-1 are supported by the LTpowerPlay graphical user interface (GUI) tool.

V2:

Corrected formatting as per review comments.
Replaced dynamically allocated array with stack-allocated array.
Removed unnecessary checking of device.
Used a separate uint8_t variable to ensure correct result regardless of the microcontroller's endianness.
Moved attributes that belong to debug attributes.
