Low Operating IQ: 170μA (One Channel On)
The LTC®3868-1 is a high performance dual step-down n
Wide Output Voltage Range: 0.8V ≤ VOUT ≤ 14V
switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel n
Wide VIN Range: 4V to 24V
synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency n
RSENSE or DCR Current Sensing
current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable fre- n Out-of-Phase Controllers Reduce Required Input quency of up to 850kHz. Power loss and noise due to the Capacitance and Power Supply Induced Noise input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating the two n OPTI-LOOP® Compensation Minimizes C controller outputs out of phase. OUT n Phase-Lockable Frequency (75kHz to 850kHz) The 170μA no-load quiescent current extends operating n Programmable Fixed Frequency (50kHz to 900kHz) life in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensation n Selectable Continuous, Pulse-Skipping or allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC3868- n Very Low Dropout Operation: 99% Duty Cycle 1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power good n Adjustable Output Voltage Soft-Start output indicator. A wide 4V to 24V input supply range n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus voltages n Output Overvoltage Protection and battery chemistries. n Output Latchoff Protection During Short Circuit Independent soft-start pins for each controller ramp the n Low Shutdown IQ: 8μA output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits n Internal LDO Powers Gate Drive from VIN or EXTVCC MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. n No Current Foldback During Start-Up The output short-circuit latchoff feature further protects n Small 4mm × 5mm QFN and Narrow SSOP Packages the circuit in short-circuit conditions.
