Dual 550kHz Synchronous
2-Phase Switching Regulator
Controller with 5-Bit VID
The LTC
®
1703 is a dual switching regulator controller opti-
mized for high efficiency with low input voltages. It includes
two complete, on-chip, independent switching regulator
controllers. Each is designed to drive a pair of external
N-channel MOSFET devices in a voltage mode feedback,
synchronous buck configuration. The LTC1703 includes
digital output voltage adjustment on side 1 that conforms to
the Intel Mobile VID specification. It uses a constant-
frequency, true PWM design switching at 550kHz, minimiz-
ing external component size and cost and optimizing load
transient performance. The synchronous buck architecture
automatically shifts to discontinuous and then to Burst
Mode
®
operation as the output load decreases, ensuring
maximum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.
The LTC1703 features an onboard reference trimmed to 1%
and delivers better than 1.5% regulation at the converter
outputs. An optional latching FAULT mode protects the load
if the output rises 15% above the intended voltage. Each
channel can be enabled independently; with both channels
disabled, the LTC1703 shuts down and supply current drops
below 100µA.
