DESCRIPTION
Fast No R
SENSE
TM
Step-Down
Synchronous DC/DC Controller
with Differential Output Sensing,
Tracking and PLL
The LTC
®
3823 is a synchronous step-down switching regu-
lator controller with true remote differential output sensing
and output voltage up/down tracking capability. Its advanced
functions and high accuracy reference are ideal for powering
high performance server, ASIC and computer memory
systems.
The LTC3823 uses a constant on-time, valley current
mode control architecture to deliver very low duty fac-
tors without requiring a sense resistor. The operating
frequency is selected by an external resistor and is com-
pensated for variations in input supply voltage. An internal
phase-locked loop allows the IC to be synchronized to an
external clock.
Fault protection is provided by an overvoltage compara-
tor and input undervoltage lockout. The regulator current
limit is user programmable. A wide supply range allows
voltages as high as 36V to be stepped down to as low as
a 0.6V output. When using remote sense, output voltages
up to 3.3V can be developed, and up to 90% of V
IN
without
remote sense. Power supply sequencing is accomplished
using an external soft-start timing capacitor.
