LTC3857-1 - Low IQ, Dual, 2-Phase Synchronous Step-Down Controller
The LTC3857-1 is a high performance dual step-down switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 850kHz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR of the input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out of phase.
The 50μA no-load quiescent current extends operating life in battery-powered systems. The LTC3857-1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power good output indicator. wide 4V to 38V input supply range encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries.
Independent TRACK/SS pins for each controller ramp the output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor current mode at light loads.
For a leadless 32-pin QFN package with the additional features of adjustable current limit, clock out, phase modulation and two PGOOD outputs, see the LTC3857 data sheet.
