LTC3375 8-Channel Programmable, Parallelable 1A Buck DC/DCs FeaTuresDescripTion n 8-Channel Independent Step-Down DC/DCs The LTC®3375 is a digitally programmable high efficiency n Master-Slave Configurable for Up to 4A Per Output multioutput power supply IC. The DC/DCs consist of eight Channel with a Single Inductor synchronous buck converters (IOUT up to 1A each) all n Independent VIN Supply for Each DC/DC powered from independent 2.25V to 5.5V input supplies. (2.25V to 5.5V) DC/DC enables, output voltages, operating modes, and n All DC/DCs Have 0.425V to VIN Output Voltage Range phasing may all be independently programmed over I2C n Precision Enable Pin Thresholds for Autonomous or used in standalone mode via simple I/O with power-up Sequencing (or I2C Control) defaults. The DC/DCs may be used independently or in n 1MHz to 3MHz Programmable/Synchronizable parallel to achieve higher output currents of up to 4A per Oscillator Frequency (2MHz Default) output with a shared inductor. Alarm levels for high die n I2C Selectable Phasing (90° Steps) Per Channel temperature may also be programmed via I2C with a mask- n Programmable Power-On Reset/Watch Dog/ able IRQ output for monitoring DC/DC and system faults. Pushbutton Timing n Die Temperature Monitor Output Pushbutton ON/OFF/RESET control, power-on reset, and n 48-Lead (7mm × 7mm) QFN Package a watchdog timer provide flexible and reliable power-up sequencing and system monitoring. The LTC3375 is avail- applicaTions able in a low profile 48-lead 7mm × 7mm QFN package. n General Purpose Multichannel Power Supplies L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
