FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Dual, Multiphase Current
Mode Synchronous Controller
for Sub-Milliohm DCR Sensing
The LTC
®
3774 is a dual PolyPhase
®
current mode syn-
chronous step-down switching regulator controller that
drives power
blocks, DRMOS or external gate drivers and
power MOSFETs. It offers an LTC-proprietary technique
that enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of the current
sense signal, allowing the use of inductors with very low
DC winding resistances as the current sense element for
maximum efficiency and reduced jitter.
The maximum current sense voltage is programmable
from 10mV to 30mV. High speed, low offset remote sense
differential amplifiers and a precise 0.6V reference provide
accurate output voltages between 0.6V and 3.5V from a wide
4.5V to 38V input supply range. Soft recovery from output
shorts or overcurrent minimizes output overshoot. Burst
Mode
®
operation, continuous and pulse-skipping modes
are supported. The constant operating frequency can be
synchronized to an external clock or linearly programmed
from 200kHz to 1.2MHz. Up to six LTC3774 controllers can
be paralleled for 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 8- or 12-phase operation.
The LTC3774 is available in a 36-lead (5mm × 6mm) QFN
package.
