LT3510 Monolithic Dual Tracking 2A Step-Down Switching Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide Input Range: 3.1V to 25V The LT®3510 is a dual current mode PWM step-down n Two Switching Regulators with 2A Output Capability DC/DC converter with two internal 2.5A switches. Inde- n Independent Supply to Each Regulator pendent input voltage, feedback, soft-start and power n Adjustable/Synchronizable Fixed Frequency good pins for each channel simplify complex power Operation from 250kHz to 1.5MHz supply tracking/sequencing requirements. n Antiphase Switching Both converters are synchronized to either a common n Outputs Can be Paralleled external clock input or a resistor programmable fi xed n Independent, Sequential, Ratiometric or Absolute 250kHz to 1.5MHz internal oscillator. At all frequencies, a Tracking Between Outputs 180° phase relationship between channels is maintained, n Independent Soft-Start and Power Good Pins reducing voltage ripple and component size. Programmable n Enhanced Short-Circuit Protection frequency allows for optimization between effi ciency and n Low Dropout: 95% Maximum Duty Cycle external component size. n Low Shutdown Current: <10μA n 20-Lead TSSOP Package with Exposed Leadframe Minimum input-to-output voltage ratios are improved by allowing the switch to stay on through multiple clock APPLICATIONS cycles, only switching off when the boost capacitor needs recharging, resulting in ~95% maximum duty cycle. n DSP Power Supplies Each output can be independently disabled using its own n Disc Drives soft-start pin, or by using the SHDN pin the entire part can n DSL/Cable Modems be placed in a low quiescent current shutdown mode. n Wall Transformer Regulation n Distributed Power Regulation The LT3510 is available in a 20-lead TSSOP package with n PCI Cards exposed leadframe for low thermal resistance.
