TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
15V Dual 3A Monolithic
Step-Down Regulator
for DDR Power
The LT C
®
3634 is a high efficiency, dual-channel monolithic
synchronous step-down regulator which provides power
supply and bus termination rails for DDR1, DDR2, and
DDR3 SDRAM controllers. The operating input voltage
range is 3.6V to 15V, making it suitable for point-of-load
power supply applications from a 5V or 12V input, as well
as various battery powered systems.
The V
TT
regulated output voltage is equal to VDDQIN0.5.
An on-chip buffer capable of driving a 10mA load pro-
vides a low noise reference output (VTTR) also equal to
VDDQIN 0.5.
The operating frequency is programmable and synchro-
nizable from 500kHz to 4MHz with an external resistor.
The two channels can operate 180° out-of-phase, which
relaxes the requirements for input and output capacitance.
The unique controlled on-time architecture is ideal for
powering DDR applications from a 12V supply at high
switching frequencies, allowing the use of smaller external
components.
The LTC3634 is offered in both 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN
and 28-pin exposed pad TSSOP packages.
