DESCRIPTION
Dual, 550kHz, 2-Phase
Synchronous Regulator
The LTC
®
3728L-1 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 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. The LTC3728L-1
is identical to the LTC3728L except that the LTC3728L-1
lacks the over current latchoff feature.
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 future microproces-
sor generations, and a wide 4.5V to 28V (30V maximum/
35V for LTC3728LI-1) input supply range encompasses
all battery chemistries.
A RUN/SS pin for each controller provides soft-start.
Current foldback limits MOSFET dissipation during short-
circuit conditions. The FCB mode pin can select among
Burst Mode operation, constant frequency mode and
continuous inductor current mode or regulate a secondary
winding. The LTC3728L-1 includes a power good output
pin that indicates when both outputs are within 7.5% of
their designed set point.
