DESCRIPTION

The LTC®3851-1 is a high performance synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives an all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stage. A con stant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 750kHz. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC3851-1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power good indicator. A wide 4V to 38V (40V absolute maximum) input supply range encompasses most battery confi gurations and intermediate bus voltages. The TK/SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up and shutdown with coincident or ratiometric tracking. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse skipping mode or continuous inductor current mode at light loads and allows the IC to be synchronized to an external clock. The LTC3851-1 is identical to the LTC3851 except that the ILIM pin is replaced by PGOOD.
