LTC3882-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The frequency and phase are also set by EEPROM values. A loop crossover frequency of 100kHz provides good Assume that solution footprint or vertical clearance is an transient performance while still being well below the issue, so operating frequency will need to be increased switching frequency of the converter.

PolyPhase connections (I is programmed to 0x14 to put Channel 0 phase at 0° and AVG, et al) are shown in the schematic to ensure good output current sharing between Channel 1 phase at 180°. This produces the lowest input the two power stages. ripple possible with this configuration and allows this output to synchronize with other rails via SHARE_CLK. External temperature sense will employ an accurate ∆VBE method, and Q1 and Q2 serve to sense the temperature of The design will plan on a nominal output ripple of 70% of L1 and L2, respectively. These components will be located IOUT to minimize the magnetics volume, and the inductance immediately adjacent to their chokes and the 10nF filter value is chosen based on this assumption. Each channel capacitors placed with the BJTs. supplies an average 20A to the output at full load, result- ing in a ripple of 14AP-P.
