The LTC3855 is a dual PolyPhase® current mode synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFET stages. It includes a high speed differential remote sense amplifier. The maximum current sense voltage is programmable for either 30mV, 50mV or 75mV, allowing the use of either the inductor DCR or a discrete sense resistor as the sensing element.

The LTC3855 features a precision 0.6V reference and can produce output voltages up to 12.5V. A wide 4.5V to 38V input supply range encompasses most intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries. Power loss and supply noise are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out of phase. Burst Mode® operation, continuous or pulse-skipping modes are supported.

The LTC3855 can be configured for up to 12-phase operation, has DCR temperature compensation, two power good signals and two current limit set pins. The LTC3855 is available in low profile 40-pin 6mm × 6mm QFN and 38-lead exposed pad FE packages.

LTC3855EFE Demo Board | Dual Output VIN = 4.5V to 26V, VOUT1 = 2.5V @ 15A, VOUT2 = 1.8V @ 15A

Product Detail

Demonstration circuit DC1617A is a dual output synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3855EFE in a high density, two sided drop-in layout with power components on the top and the control circuit on the bottom. The package style for the LTC3855EFE is a 38-lead TSSOP. The board comes in two assembly types. The –A assembly provides 2.5V/15A and 1.8V/15A from a 4.5V to 26V input. DCR inductor sensing is used to provide the highest efficiency. The current limit is NTC compensated to provide the minimal amount of variation over temperature. The -A also features remote sensing for VOUT2.

The package style for the LTC3855EFE is a 38-lead TSSOP. The board comes in two assembly types. The –B assembly is a high power, 12V/6A and 5V/10A converter with a 13V to 36V input. A sense resistor is used to provide a precise current limit. Unlike the –A assembly, on the –B assembly the remote sense diff amp is bypassed since VOUT2 is > 3.3V.
