The LTC
®
3717-1 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller for double data rate (DDR) and Quad
Data Rate
TM
(QDR
TM
) memory termination. The controller
uses a valley current control architecture to deliver very
low duty cycles with or without a sense resistor. Operating
frequency is selected by an external resistor and is com-
pensated for variations in V
IN
and V
OUT
.
Forced continuous operation reduces noise and RF inter-
ference. Output voltage is internally set to half of V
REF
,
which is user programmable.
Fault protection is provided by an output overvoltage
comparator and optional short-circuit shutdown timer.
Soft-start capability for supply sequencing is accom-
plished using an external timing capacitor. The regulator
current limit level is symmetrical and user programmable.
Wide supply range allows operation from 4V to 36V at the
V
CC
input.

).
Note 4: The LTC3717EUH-1 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
