Synchronous
Step-Down Switching
Regulator Controller
The LTC
®
3851A-1 is a high performance synchronous
step-down switching regulator controller that drives
an all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stage. A
con stant frequency current mode architecture allows a
phase-lockable frequency of up to 750kHz.
OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance
and ESR values. The LTC3851A-1 features a precision 0.8V
reference and a power good indicator. A wide 4V to 38V
(40V absolute maximum) input supply range encompasses
most battery configurations and intermediate bus voltages.
The TK/SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up and
shutdown with coincident or ratiometric tracking. Current
foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-
circuit conditions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects among
Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode or continu-
ous inductor current mode at light loads and allows the IC
to be synchronized to an external clock. The LTC3851A-1
contains an improved PLL compared to the LTC3851-1.
The LTC3851A-1 is identical to the LTC3851A except that
the I
LIM
pin is replaced by PGOOD.
