FEATURES DESCRIPTION
n
Wide VIN Range: 4.5V to 38V, VOUT: 0.6V to 5.5V
The LTC®3839 is a 2-phase, single-output PolyPhase® n
±0.67% Output Voltage Accuracy Over Temperature,
synchronous step-down switching regulator controller
Differential Output Voltage Sensing, Allowing Up to
that drives all N-channel power MOSFETs. The controlled
±500mV Line Loss at Remote Ground
on-time, valley current mode control architecture allows for n
Controlled On-Time, Valley Current Mode Control
fast transient response and constant frequency switching n
Fast Load Transient Response
in steady-state operation, independent of VIN, VOUT and n
Detect Transient (DTR) Reduces VOUT Overshoot
load current. Its load-release transient detection feature n
Frequency Programmable from 200kHz to 2MHz,
significantly reduces overshoot at low output voltages.
Synchronizable to External Clock
Differential output voltage sensing, along with a preci- n
tON(MIN) = 30ns, tOFF(MIN) = 90ns
sion internal reference, offers an accurate ±0.67% output n Up to 12-Phase Operation regulation, even if the remote output ground deviates from n RSENSE or Inductor DCR Current Sensing local ground by ±500mV. n Overvoltage Protection and Current Limit Foldback n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor The switching frequency can be programmed from 200kHz n Output Voltage Tracking and Adjustable Soft Start-Up to 2MHz with an external resistor and can be synchronized n Thermally Enhanced 32-Pin (5mm × 5mm) QFN to an external clock. Very low tON and tOFF times allow for Package near 0% and near 100% duty cycles, respectively. Volt- age tracking soft start-up and multiple safety features are provided.
