The LTC1143 series is a dual step-down switching regulator
controller featuring automatic Burst Mode
TM
operation to
maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. This
device is composed of two separate regulator blocks,
each driving an external power MOSFET at switching
frequencies up to 400kHz using a constant off-time current
mode architecture. Both fixed and adjustable voltages are
available.
The operating current level for both regulators is user-
programmable via an external current sense resistor.
Wide input supply range allows operation from 4V to 14V
(16V maximum). The LTC1143L and LTC1143L-ADJ
extend operation to V
IN
= 3.5V. 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout regulation limited only by the R
DS(ON)
of the
external MOSFET and resistance of the inductor and
current sense resistor.
The LTC1143 series is ideal for applications requiring dual
output voltages with high conversion efficiencies over a
wide load current range in a small amount of board space.
