High Effi ciency Dual 8.5V/3.3V Step-Down Converter Effi ciency and Power Loss
vs Load Current
The LTC
®
3826 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 650kHz. Power loss and noise due to the
ESR of the input capacitor are minimized by operating the
two controller output stages out of phase.
The 30μA 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
LTC3826 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power
good output indicator. A wide 4V to 36V input supply range
encompasses all battery chemistries.
Independent TRACK/SS pins for each controller ramp the
output voltage during start-up. Current foldback limits
MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions.
The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode opera-
tion, pulse skipping mode, or continuous inductor cur-
rent mode at light loads. For a leaded package version
(28-lead SSOP), see the LTC3826-1 data sheet.
