LTC3890 60V Low IQ, Dual, 2-Phase Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide VIN Range: 4V to 60V (65V Abs Max) The LTC®3890 is a high performance dual step-down n Low Operating IQ: 50µA (One Channel On) switching regulator DC/DC controller that drives all n Wide Output Voltage Range: 0.8V ≤ VOUT ≤ 24V N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant n RSENSE or DCR Current Sensing frequency current mode architecture allows a phase- n Out-of-Phase Controllers Reduce Required Input lockable frequency of up to 850kHz. Power loss and noise Capacitance and Power Supply Induced Noise due to the ESR of the input capacitor are minimized by n Phase-Lockable Frequency (75kHz to 850kHz) operating the two controller output stages out-of-phase. n Programmable Fixed Frequency (50kHz to 900kHz) The 50μA no-load quiescent current extends operating run n Selectable Continuous, Pulse-Skipping or Low Ripple time in battery-powered systems. OPTI-LOOP® compensa- Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads tion allows the transient response to be optimized over n Selectable Current Limit a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The n Very Low Dropout Operation: 99% Duty Cycle LTC3890 features a precision 0.8V reference and power n Adjustable Output Voltage Soft-Start or Tracking good output indicators. A wide 4V to 60V input supply n Power Good Output Voltage Monitors range encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus n Output Overvoltage Protection voltages and battery chemistries. n Low Shutdown IQ : < 14µA n Internal LDO Powers Gate Drive from VIN or EXTVCC Independent TRACK/SS pins for each controller ramp the n No Current Foldback During Start-Up output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits n Small Low Profile (0.75mm) 5mm × 5mm QFN Package MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, APPLICATIONS pulse-skipping mode, or continuous conduction mode at light loads.
