High Efficiency, 2-Phase,
Dual Synchronous Step-Down Switching
Controller and Step-Up Regulator
The LTC
®
1876 is a high performance triple output switching
regulator. It incorporates a dual step-down switching con-
troller that drives all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET
stages. A step-up regulator with an internal 1A, 36V switch
provides the third output.
The step-down controllers minimize power loss and noise
by operating the output stage of each controller out of
phase. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient
response to be optimized over a wide range of output
capacitance and ESR values. A RUN/SS pin for each
controller provides both soft-start and an optional timed,
short-circuit shutdown that can be configured to latch off
one or both controllers. Current foldback provides
additional short-circuit protection. In an overvoltage
condition, the bottom MOSFET is latched on until V
OUT
returns to normal. The FCB pin can be used to inhibit Burst
Mode operation or to enable regulation of a secondary
output voltage.
The step-up regulator operates at 1.2MHz, allowing the
use of tiny low cost capacitors and inductors. In addition,
its internal 1A switch allows high current outputs to be
generated. Its current mode control scheme provides
excellent line and load regulation.
