Analog Devices LTC3838-1

Beschreibung

The LTC®3838-1 is a dual-channel, PolyPhase® synchronous step-down DC/DC switching regulator controller. Two independent channels drive all N-channel power MOSFETs. The controlled on-time, valley current modecontrol architecture allows for not only fast response to transients without clock delay, but also constant frequency switching at steady load condition. Its proprietary loadrelease transient detection feature (DTR) significantlyreduces overshoot at low output voltages.A precision internal reference enables accurate differential output regulation. The dual channels can either provide two independent output voltages, or be combined into multiphase single-output configuration.The switching frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to 2MHz with an external resistor and can be synchronized to an external clock. Very low tON and tOFF times allow for near 0% and near 100% duty cycles, respectively. Voltage tracking soft start-up and multiple safety features are provided.See Table 1 for a comparison of LTC3838, LTC3838-1 and LTC3838-2.
