LTC3701EGN#PBF

LTC3701 is a 2-phase dual constant frequency current mode step-down DC/DC controller providing excellent load and line regulation. Power loss and noise due to ESR of the input capacitor are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out-of-phase. Switching frequency is internally set at 550KHz, allowing the use of small inductors and capacitors. For noise sensitive applications, the LTC3701 can be externally synchronized using its phase-locked loop. The frequency can also be externally set from 300KHz to 750KHz by applying a voltage to the PLLLPF pin. Burst Mode operation is inhibited during synchronization or when the EXTCLK/MODE pin is pulled low to reduce noise and RF interference. It contains independent internal soft-start circuitry for each controller. It is used in application such as one or two lithium-ion powered applications, notebook and handheld computers, personal digital assistants, portable instruments, distributed DC power systems etc.
