The LTC3890 is a high performance dual step-down switching regulator DC/DC controller that drives all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 850kHz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR of the input capacitor are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out-of-phase.

The 50μA no-load quiescent current extends operating run time in battery-powered systems. OPTI-LOOP^® compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC3890 features a precision 0.8V reference and power good output indicators. A wide 4V to 60V input supply range encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries.

Independent TRACK/SS pins for each controller ramp the output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous conduction mode at light loads. For a leaded package version (28-lead Narrow SSOP), see the LTC3890-1 data sheet.

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2236A-B is a high output voltage, high efficiency synchronous PolyPhase^® buck converter featuring the LTC3890EUH. The DC2236A-B has wide input voltage range of 16V up to 60V, and is capable of delivering up to 25A of output current. The output voltage is set to 12V, however, the output voltage can go as high as 24V, with certain modifications. The DC2236A-B supports three operation modes: Fixed frequency modulation, pulse-skipping and Burst Mode^® operation. Fixed frequency mode of operation maximizes the output current, reduces output voltage ripple, and yields a low noise switching spectrum. Burst Mode employs a variable frequency switching algorithm that minimizes the no-load input quiescent current and improves efficiency at light loads.
