Fast, Efficient & Compact Linear’s newest generation of mid-range input voltage synchronous step-down controllers enables optimized multioutput designs. High step-down ratios are easily accommodated with up to 95% conversion efficiency. Their powerful on-chip MOSFET drivers allow high current outputs on each channel, while Burst Mode® operation delivers very low quiescent current in standby or sleep modes. Current sense resistors are optional as inductor DCR sensing is supported. All multioutput, multi-phase versions provide ratiometic or coincident up and down power rail tracking; singles can be cascaded. |
