LTC3850EUF#TRPBF

LTC3850 is a high performance dual synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFET stages. A constant-frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 780kHz. Power loss and supply noise 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. Independent TK/SS pins for each controller ramp the output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects among Burst Mode® operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor current mode and allows the IC to be synchronized to an external clock. Typical applications are notebook and Palmtop computers, portable instruments, battery-operated digital devices, DC power distribution systems.
