LTC3851A-1 Synchronous Step-Down Switching Regulator Controller
FeaTures DescripTion
n
Wide VIN Range: 4V to 38V Operation
The LTC®3851A-1 is a high performance synchronous n
RSENSE or DCR Current Sensing
step-down switching regulator controller that drives n
±1% Output Voltage Accuracy
an all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stage. A n
Power Good Output Voltage Monitor
con stant frequency current mode architecture allows a n
Phase-Lockable Fixed Frequency: 250kHz to 750kHz
phase-lockable frequency of up to 750kHz. n Dual N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive OPTI-LOOP compensation al ows the transient response n Very Low Dropout Operation: 99% Duty Cycle to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance n Adjustable Output Voltage Soft-Start or Tracking and ESR values. The LTC3851A-1 features a precision 0.8V n Output Current Foldback Limiting reference and a power good indicator. A wide 4V to 38V n Output Overvoltage Protection (40V absolute maximum) input supply range encompasses n OPTI-LOOP® Compensation Minimizes COUT most battery configurations and intermediate bus voltages. n Selectable Continuous, Pulse-Skipping or Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads The TK/SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up and n Low Shutdown I shutdown with coincident or ratiometric tracking. Current Q: 20µA n V foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short- OUT Range: 0.8V to 5.5V n Thermally Enhanced 16-Lead MSOP circuit conditions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects among or 3mm × 3mm QFN Package Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode or continu- ous inductor current mode at light loads and allows the IC
