Typical Application
Description
The LTC3832/LTC3832-1 are high power, high efficiency switching regulator controllers optimized for 3.3V-5V to 0.6V-3.xV step-down applications. A precision internal reference and feedback system provide ±1% output regulation over temperature, load current and line voltage variations. The LTC3832/LTC3832-1 use a synchronous switching architecture with N-channel MOSFETs. Additionally, the chip senses output current through the drain-source resistance of the upper N-channel MOSFET, providing an adjustable current limit without a current sense resistor.
The LTC3832/LTC3832-1 operate with an input supply voltage as low as 3V and with a maximum duty cycle of >91% over temperature. They include a fixed frequency PWM oscillator for low output ripple operation. The 300kHz free-running clock frequency can be externally adjusted or synchronized with an external signal from 100kHz to 500kHz. In shutdown mode, the LTC3832 supply current drops to <10µA. The LTC3832-1 is the SO-8 version without current limit, frequency adjustment and shutdown functions.
