Description

AI
The LTC3858-1 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 input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating the two controller outputs out of phase.The 170μA no-load quiescent current extends operating life in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC3858-1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power good output indicator. A wide 4V to 38V input supply range encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries.Independent soft-start pins for each controller ramp the output voltages during start-up. The output latch-off feature protects the circuit in short-circuit conditions.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 LTC3858 data sheet.LTC3858LTC3858-1LTC3858-2FeaturesAdjustable Current Limit, Clock Output, Phase Modulation, 2 PGOOD OutputsFixed Current Limit, One PGOOD OutputOvervoltage protection crowbar and short-circuit latchoff disabledPackageQFN-32SSOP-28QFN-32ApplicationsAutomotive SystemsBattery Operated Digital DevicesDistributed DC Power Systems
