- Small 28-Pin SSOP Package
The LTC1873 is a dual switching regulator controller optimized for high efficiency with low input voltages. It includes two complete, on-chip, independent switching regulator controllers. Each is designed to drive a pair of external N-channel MOSFETs in a voltage mode feedback, synchronous buck configuration. The LTC1873 includes digital output voltage adjustment on side 1 that conforms to the Intel Desktop VID specification. A constant-frequency, true PWM design minimizes external component size and cost and optimizes load transient performance. The synchronous buck architecture automatically shifts to discontinuous and then to Burst Mode™ operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maximum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.
The LTC1873 features an onboard reference trimmed to 1% and delivers better than 1.5% regulation at the converter outputs over all combinations of line, load and temperature. Each channel can be enabled independently; with both channels disabled, the LTC1873 shuts down and supply current drops below 100µA.
