The LTC

1736 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller optimized for CPU power. The output
voltage is programmed by a 5-bit digital-to-analog con-
verter (DAC) that adjusts the output voltage from 0.925V
to 2.00V according to Intel mobile VID specifications. The
0.8V reference is compatible with future microprocessor
generations.
The operating frequency (synchronizable up to 500kHz) is
set by an external capacitor allowing maximum flexibility
in optimizing efficiency. The output voltage is monitored by
a power good window comparator that indicates when the
output is within 7.5% of its programmed value.
Protection features include: internal foldback current lim-
iting, output overvoltage crowbar and optional short-cir-
cuit shutdown. Soft-start is provided by an external capaci-
tor that can be used to properly sequence supplies. The
operating current level is user-programmable via an exter-
nal current sense resistor. Wide input supply range allows
operation from 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum).
Pin defeatable Burst Mode
TM
operation provides high effi-
ciency at low load currents. OPTI-LOOP compensation
allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide
range of output capacitance and ESR values.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: T

is calculated from the ambient temperature T

and power

according to the following formulas:
LTC1736CG, LTC1736IG: T

• 110°C/W)
Note 3: The LTC1736 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
balance point for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 1.2V).
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 5: Oscillator frequency is tested by measuring the C
OSC
charge
current (I
OSC
) and applying the formula:
Note 6: With all five VID inputs floating (or tied to VIDV
CC
) the VIDV
CC
current is typically <1µA. However, the VIDV
CC
current will rise and be
approximately equal to the number of grounded VID input pins times
(VIDV
CC
– 0.6V)/40k. (See the Applications Information section for more
detail.)
Note 7: Each built-in pull-up resistor attached to the VID inputs also has a
series diode to allow input voltages higher than the VIDV
CC
supply without
damage or clamping. (See the Applications Information section for more
detail.)
Note 8: The minimum on-time condition corresponds to the on inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current 40% of I
MAX
(see minimum on-time
considerations in the Applications Information section).
Note 9: Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels.
