LTC3618 Dual 4MHz, ±3A Synchronous Buck Converter for DDR Termination
FeaTures DescripTion
n
DDR Power Supply, Termination and Reference
The LTC®3618 is a dual synchronous step-down regulator n
High Efficiency: Up to 94%
using a current mode, constant-frequency architecture. It n
Dual Outputs with ±3A Output Current Capability
provides a complete DDR solution with an input voltage n
2.25V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
range from 2.25V to 5.5V. n
±1% Output Voltage Accuracy
The output of the first step-down regulator offers a high n
VTT Output Voltage Down to 0.5V
accuracy V n DDQ supply. A buffered reference generates Shutdown Current ≤1µA VTTR at 50% of VDDQIN and drives loads up to ±10mA. n VTTR = VDDQIN/2, VFB2 = VTTR The second regulator generates the DDR termination volt- n Adjustable Switching Frequency Up to 4MHz age (V n TT) equal to VTTR. Both regulators are capable of Internal or External Compensation delivering ±3A of load current at 1MHz switching frequency. n Selectable 0°/90°/180° Phase Shift Between Channels n Internal or External Soft-Start for V The operating frequency is externally programmable up to DDQ, Internal Soft-Start for V 4MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors. TT n Power Good Status Outputs 0°, 90°, or 180° of phase shift between the two channels n Low Profile 4mm × 4mm QFN-24 and TSSOP-24 can be selected to minimize input current ripple. For Packages switching noise-sensitive applications, the LTC3618 can be synchronized to an external clock up to 4MHz.
