TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
High Effi ciency, 2-Phase
Synchronous Step-Down
Switching Regulators
The LTC
®
3727A-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.
The LTC3727A-1 is an improved version of the LTC3727
family of parts. It has smaller output ripple while in the
drop-out condition and shorter minimum on-time.
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 30V (36V maximum)
input supply range encompasses all battery chemistries.
A RUN/SS pin for each controller provides soft-start. Current
foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit
conditions. Output overvoltage protection circuitry protects
the controller until V
OUT
returns to normal.
