Description

The LTC®3802 is a dual switching regulator controller optimized for high efficiency step-down conversion from input voltages between 3V to 30V. The controller uses a leading edge modulation scheme to allow extremely low duty cycle operation. The constant frequency voltage mode controller allows a phase-lockable frequency between 330kHz and 750kHz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR of the input capacitors are minimized by operating the two controller output stages 180° out of phase. The synchronous buck architecture automatically shifts to Burst Mode operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maximum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.

The LTC3802 features an onboard, trimmed 0.6V reference and provides better than 1% regulation at the converter outputs. A separate output sense provides real time overvoltage protection and PGOOD sensing. An FBT pin programs the power-up/-down tracking between the two channels to meet various sequencing requirements. A RUN/SS pin provides soft-start and externally programmable current limit protection functions.
