LTC3372 Configurable PMIC Buck DC/DC

Power by Linear™/Analog Devices’ LTC3372 is a highly flexible multioutput power management integrated circuit (PMIC). The device includes a high-performance, high voltage (HV) step-down DC/DC switching regulator controller that drives an all N-channel synchronous power FET stage from a 4.5 V to 60 V input. The LTC3372 also includes four low voltage (LV) synchronous buck regulators that can be programmed by the C1-C3 pins to share eight 1 A integrated power stages in one of eight possible configurations. Each power stage is powered from independent inputs which may be connected to the HV buck’s VOUT or other 2.25 V to 5.5 V supplies. The CT pin programs timing parameters of the watchdog timer and LV outputs’ power-on reset (RST). Precision enable thresholds facilitate reliable power-up sequencing. This device comes in 48-pin DFN package and has a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. The LTC3372 is ideal for multichannel power supplies found in automotive, industrial, and always-on applications.
