Efficiency and Power Loss
vs Load Current
The LTC
®
3858-2 is a high performance dual step-down
switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel
synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency
current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable fre-
quency of up to 850kHz. Power loss and noise due to the
input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating the two
controller outputs out of phase.
The 170A no-load quiescent current extends operating
life in battery-powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensa-
tion allows the transient response to be optimized over
a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The
LTC3858-2 differs from the LTC3858 by having the overvolt-
age protection crowbar and short-circuit latchoff disabled.
A wide 4V to 38V input supply range encompasses a wide
range of intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries.
Independent soft-start pins for each controller ramp the
output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits
MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions.
