OPERATION (Refer to Functional Diagram) Main Control Loop
the VFB pin, (which is generated with an external resis- tor divider connected across the output voltage, V The LTC3827-1 uses a constant frequency, current mode OUT, to ground) to the internal 0.800V reference voltage. When the step-down architecture with the two controller channels load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in V operating 180 degrees out of phase. During normal op- FB relative to the reference, which causes the EA to increase eration, each external top MOSFET is turned on when the the I clock for that channel sets the RS latch, and is turned off TH voltage until the average inductor current matches the new load current. when the main current comparator, ICMP, resets the RS latch. The peak inductor current at which ICMP trips and After the top MOSFET is turned off each cycle, the bottom resets the latch is controlled by the voltage on the ITH pin, MOSFET is turned on until either the inductor current starts which is the output of the error amplifi er EA. The error to reverse, as indicated by the current comparator IR, or amplifi er compares the output voltage feedback signal at the beginning of the next clock cycle. 38271fe 9
