  Dual Phase Buck Controller Drives High Density 1.2V/60A
  Supply with Submilliohm DCR Sensing – Design Note 528
  Mike Shriver
  Introduction
  Designers of low output voltage rails for communication, networking, server and industrial systems are
  challenged to achieve greater load currents and higher
  efficiency in diminishing board space. The LTCВ®3774
  dual output buck controller eases this burden by interfacing easily with DrMOS devices, providing high
  efficiency and small size by integrating MOSFET and
  gate driver in the same package. The LTC3774 can
  sense current across the inductor’s DCR, with values as
  low as 0.2mО©, improving efficiency by eliminating the
  need for a discrete sense resistor. The LTC3774’s peak
  current mode architecture provides cycle-by-cycle
  current limit, inherent cycle-by-cycle current sharing
  and easy to design typeВ II compensation. DrMOS Interface
  The PWM outputs of the LTC3774 are designed to drive
  DrMOS devices with a 3-state PWM input. When the
  PWM signal is high, the top FET is on, and when the
  L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo, Burst Mode and

  HIGH EFFICIENCY CONVERTER WITH
  A SMALL FOOTPRINT Figure 1 shows a dual phase
  1.2V/60A LTC3774 converter operating
  at a switching frequency of 400kHz.
  The power stage for each phase is the
  FDMF6820A DrMOS, which comes in
  a 6mm Г— 6mm QFN package, and a
  0.3Вµ H single winding ferrite inductor with
  a typical DCR of 0.325mО©. The resulting
  full load efficiency is 89.8%, as shown
  in Figure 2. The core of the converter
  has a current density of 50A /in2. …
