The LTC

1267 series are dual synchronous step-down
switching regulator controllers featuring automatic Burst
Mode
TM
operation to maintain high efficiencies at low
output currents. The LTC1267 is composed of two sepa-
rate regulator blocks, each driving a pair of external comple-
mentary power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up to
400kHz. The LTC1267 uses a constant off-time current-
mode architecture to provide constant ripple current in the
inductor and provide excellent line and load transient
response.
A separate pin and on-board switch allow the MOSFET
driver power to be derived from the regulated output
voltage, providing significant efficiency improvement when
operating at high input voltage. The output current level is
user-programmable via an external current sense resistor.
The LTC1267 series is ideal for applications requiring dual
output voltages with high conversion efficiencies over a
wide load current range in a small amount of board space.

Note 2:
On LTC1267 versions which have MSHDN and SHDN1, 3, 5 pins,
they must be at ground potential for testing.
Note 3:
The LTC1267 V
IN

CC
current measurements exclude
MOSFET driver currents. When V

power is derived from the output via
EXT V
CC
, the input current increases by (I

×
Duty Cycle)/Efficiency.
See Typical Performance Characteristics and Applications Information.
Note 4:
In applications where R
SENSE
is placed at ground potential, the
off-time increases approximately 40%.
Note 5:
The LTC1267/LTC1267-ADJ/LTC1267-ADJ5 are not tested and
quality-assurance sampled at – 40°C to 85°C. These specifications are
guaranteed by design and/or correlation.
Note 6:
The logic level power MOSFETs shown in Figure 1 are rated for
V

= 30V. For operation at V
IN
> 30V, use standard threshold
MOSFETs with EXT V
CC
powered from a 9V supply. See applications
information.
