3727/LTC3727-1 are high performance dual
step-down switching regulator controllers that drive all
N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A con-
stant frequency current mode architecture allows phase-
lockable frequency of up to 550kHz. Power loss and noise
due to the ESR of the input capacitors are minimized by
operating the two controller output stages out of phase.
OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and
ESR values. There is a precision 0.8V reference and a power
good output indicator. A wide 4V to 30V (36V maximum)
input supply range encompasses all battery chemistries.
A RUN/SS pin for each controller provides soft-start, and
on the LTC3727GN, optional timed, short-circuit shut-
down. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation
during short-circuit conditions when overcurrent latchoff
is disabled. Output overvoltage protection circuitry latches
on the bottom MOSFET until V
OUT
returns to normal. The
FCB mode pin can select among Burst Mode, constant
frequency mode and continuous inductor current mode or
regulate a secondary winding.
