LTC3865/LTC3865-1 Dual, 2-Phase Synchronous DC/DC Controller with Pin Selectable Outputs FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Dual, 180 ° Phased Controllers The LTC®3865/LTC3865-1 are high performance dual n 2-Pin VID Output Voltage Programming from 0.6V synchronous step-down DC/DC switching regulator to 5V controllers that drive all N-channel synchronous power n High Effi ciency: Up to 95% MOSFET stages. A constant frequency current mode n RSENSE or DCR Current Sensing architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to n Phase-Lockable Fixed Frequency 250kHz to 770kHz 770kHz. Power loss and noise are minimized by operating n Adjustable Current Limit the two controller output stages out of phase. n Dual N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive OPTI-LOOP® compensation allows the transient response n Wide VIN Range: 4.5V to 38V Operation to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance n Adjustable Soft-Start Current Ramping or Tracking and ESR values. Independent track/soft-start pins for n Output OV Protection With Reverse Current Limit each controller ramp the output voltage during start-up. n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during n 32-Pin 5mm × 5mm QFN and 38-Lead TSSOP short-circuit conditions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects Packages among Burst Mode® operation, pulse-skipping mode, and continuous inductor current mode. The output volt- APPLICATIONS ages can be precisely programmed by pin strapping or n DC Power Distribution Systems external resistors.
