The LTC

3727LX-1 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 phase-lockable frequency
of up to 550kHz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR of
the input capacitors are minimized by operating the two
controller output stages out of phase.
OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and
ESR values. There is a precision 0.8V reference and a power
good output indicator. A wide 4V to 28V (32V maximum)
input supply range encompasses all battery chemistries.
