DESCRIPTION
Dual, 2-Phase Step-Down
Controller with Tracking
The LTC
®
3828 is a dual high performance step-down
switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel
synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency
current mode architecture allows for a phase-lockable
frequency of up to 550kHz. The TRCKSS pin provides both
soft-start and tracking functions. Multiple LTC3828s can
be daisy-chained in applications requiring more than two
voltages to be tracked.
OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance
and ESR values. The precision 0.8V reference and power
good output indicator are compatible with a wide 4.5V to
28V (30V maximum) input supply range, encompassing
all battery chemistries.
The RUN pins control their respective channels indepen-
dently. The FCB/PLLIN pin selects among Burst Mode
®
operation, skip-cycle mode and continuous current mode.
Current foldback limits MOSFET dissipation during short-
circuit conditions. Reverse current and current foldback
functions are disabled during soft-start.
