The LTC
®
1929/LTC1929-PG are 2-phase, single output,
synchronous step-down current mode switching regula-
tor controllers that drive N-channel external power MOSFET
stages in a phase-lockable fixed frequency architecture.
The 2-phase controllers drive their two output stages out
of phase at frequencies up to 300kHz to minimize the RMS
ripple currents in both input and output capacitors. The
2-phase technique effectively multiplies the fundamental
frequency by two, improving transient response while
operating each channel at an optimum frequency for
efficiency. Thermal design is also simplified.
An internal differential amplifier provides true remote
sensing of the regulated supply’s positive and negative
output terminals as required by high current applications.
The RUN/SS pin provides soft-start and a defeatable,
timed, latched short-circuit shutdown to shut down both
channels. Internal foldback current limit provides protec-
tion for the external synchronous MOSFETs in the event of
an output fault. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
output capacitance and ESR values.
