DESCRIPTION
Low I
Q
, Dual, 2-Phase
Synchronous Step-Down Controller
The LTC
®
3827-1 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 a phase-lockable fre-
quency of up to 650kHz. Power loss and noise due to the
ESR of the input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating
the two controller output stages out of phase.
The 80µA no-load quiescent current extends operating
life in battery-powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensa-
tion allows the transient response to be optimized over
a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The
LTC3827-1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power
good output indicator. A wide 4V to 36V input supply range
encompasses all battery chemistries.
Independent TRACK/SS pins for each controller ramp the
output voltage during start-up. Current foldback limits
MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions.
The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode opera-
tion, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor cur-
rent mode at light loads. For a leadless package version
(5mm × 5mm QFN) with additional features, see the
LTC3827 data sheet.
