Synchronous
Step-Down Switching
Regulator Controller
The LTC
®
3851A 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 features a precision 0.8V
reference that is compatible with a wide 4V to 38V input
supply range.
The TK/SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up.
Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during
short-circuit conditions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects
among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode or
continuous inductor current mode at light loads and al-
lows the IC to be synchronized to an external clock. The
LTC3851A contains an improved PLL compared to the
LTC3851.
The LTC3851A-1 is a version with a power good output
signal instead of adjustable current limit.
