The LTC
®
3709 is a single output, dual phase, synchronous
step-down switching regulator. The controller uses a
constant on-time, valley current control architecture to
deliver very low duty cycles without requiring a sense
resistor. Operating frequency is selected by an external
resistor and is compensated for variations in input supply
voltage. An internal phase-lock loop allows the LTC3709
to be synchronized to an external clock.
A TRACK pin is provided for tracking or sequencing the
output voltage among several LTC3709 chips or an
LTC3709 and other DC/DC regulators. Soft-start is ac-
complished using an external timing capacitor.
Fault protection is provided by an output overvoltage com-
parator and an optional short-circuit shutdown timer. The
current limit level is user programmable. A wide supply
range allows voltages as high as 31V to step down as low
as 0.6V.
