DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
chronous step-down switching regulator controller that
drives two all N-channel external power MOSFET stages in
a fixed frequency architecture. The 2-phase controller
drives its two output stages out of phase at frequencies up
to 300kHz to minimize the RMS ripple currents in both
input and output capacitors. The 2-phase technique effec-
tively multiplies the fundamental frequency by two, im-
proving transient response while operating each channel
at an optimum frequency for efficiency. Thermal design is
also simplified.
An operating mode select pin (FCB) can be used to select
among three modes including Burst Mode
highest efficiency. An internal differential amplifier provides
true remote sensing of the regulated supply’s positive and
negative output terminals as required in high current ap-
plications.
The RUN/SS pin provides soft-start and optional timed,
short-circuit shutdown. Current foldback limits MOSFET
dissipation during short-circuit conditions when the
overcurrent latchoff is disabled. OPTI-LOOP compensation
allows the transient response to be optimized for a wide
range of output capacitors and ESR values.
