TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Synchronous Step-Down
DC/DC Controller with
Differential Remote Sense
and Nonlinear Control
The LTC
®
3867 is a current mode synchronous step-down
switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel
power MOSFET stages. Output voltage transient excursions
are minimized by use of a nonlinear control architecture
to eliminate clock latency issues.
The maximum current sense voltage is programmable
from 30mV to 75mV, allowing the use of either a discrete
sense resistor or the inductor DCR as the sensing element.
Programmable DCR temperature compensation allows
constant current limit regardless of inductor tempera-
ture. Programmable inductor temperature-based thermal
shutdown protects the power components from thermal
stress. Soft recovery from output shorts or overcurrent
minimizes output overshoot.
The LTC3867 features a precision 0.6V reference and
can regulate output voltages up to 14V from a wide
4V to 38V input supply range. The LTC3867 includes
a high speed differential remote sense amplifier. Burst
Mode
®
operation, continuous and pulse-skipping modes
are supported. The LTC3867 is available in a 24-lead
(4mm × 4mm) QFN package.
