LTC3569 Triple Buck Regulator with 1.2A and Two 600mA Outputs and Individual Programmable References FeaTuresDescripTion n Three Independent Current Mode Buck DC/DC The LTC®3569 contains three monolithic, synchronous Regulators (1.2A and 2 × 600mA) step-down DC/DC converters. Intended for medium power n Single Pin Programmable VFB Servo Voltages from applications, it operates over a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage 800mV Down to 425mV (in 25mV Steps) range. The operating frequency is adjustable from 1MHz n Pull VFB High to Make Each 600mA Buck a Slave for to 3MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and Higher Current Operation inductors. The three output voltages are independently n Pulse-Skipping or Burst Mode ® Operation programmable by toggling the EN pins up to 15 times, n Programmable Switching Frequency lowering the 800mV FB references by 25mV per cycle. The (1MHz to 3MHz) or Fixed 2.25MHz first buck regulator sources load currents up to 1200mA. n Synchronizable (1.2MHz to 3MHz) The other two buck regulators each provide 600mA. n VIN Range 2.5V to 5.5V The two 600mA buck regulators can also be configured n All Regulators Internally Compensated to operate as slave power stages, running in parallel with n PGOOD Output Flag another internal buck regulator to supply higher load n Quiescent Current <100µA (All Regulators in Burst currents. When operating as parallel, slave output stages, Mode Operation) discrete external components are shared and available n Zero Shutdown Current output currents sum together. n Overtemperature and Short-Circuit Protection L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and n Tiny 3mm × 3mm, 3mm × 4mm 20-Lead QFN and ThinSOT is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
