The LTC
®
1629/LTC1629-PG are multiple phase, dual,
synchronous step-down current mode switching regula-
tor controllers that drive N-channel external power MOSFET
stages in a phase-lockable fixed frequency architecture.
The PolyPhase
TM
controller drives its two output stages
out of phase at frequencies up to 300kHz to minimize the
RMS ripple currents in both input and output capacitors.
The output clock signal allows expansion for up to 12
evenly phased controllers for systems requiring 15A to
200A of output current. The multiple phase technique
effectively multiplies the fundamental frequency by the
number of channels used, improving transient response
while operating each channel at an optimum frequency for
efficiency. Thermal design is also simplified.
An internal differential amplifier provides true remote
sensing of the regulated supply’s positive and negative
output terminals as required for high current applications.
A RUN/SS pin provides both soft-start and optional timed,
short-circuit shutdown. Current foldback limits MOSFET
dissipation during short-circuit conditions when the
overcurrent latchoff is disabled. OPTI-LOOP compensa-
tion allows the transient response to be optimized over a
wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The
LTC1629-PG includes a power good output pin that re-
places the AMPMD control pin of the LTC1629.
