The LTC
廬
1628-SYNC is a high performance dual step-
down switching regulator controller that drives all
N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A con-
stant frequency current mode architecture allows phase-
lockable frequency of up to 300kHz. Power loss and noise
due to the ESR of the input capacitors are minimized by
operating the two controller output stages out of phase.
OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and
ESR values. The precision 0.8V reference and power good
output indicator are compatible with future microproces-
sor generations, and a wide 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum)
input supply range encompasses all battery chemistries.
A RUN/SS pin for each controller provides both soft-start
and optional timed, short-circuit shutdown. Current
foldback limits MOSFET dissipation during short-circuit
conditions when overcurrent latchoff is disabled. Output
overvoltage protection circuitry latches on the bottom
MOSFET until V
OUT
returns to normal. The FCB mode pin
can select among Burst Mode, constant frequency mode
and continuous inductor current mode or regulate a
secondary winding. The LTC1628-SYNC includes a power
good output pin that indicates when both outputs are
within 7.5% of their designed set point.
