The LTC
®
3730 is a PolyPhase
®
synchronous step-down
switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel
external power MOSFET stages in a phase-lockable fixed
frequency architecture. The 3-phase controller drives its
output stages with 120° phase separation at frequencies
of up to 600kHz per phase to minimize the RMS losses in
both the input and output filter capacitors. The 3-phase
technique effectively triples the fundamental frequency,
improving transient response while operating each con-
troller at an optimal frequency for efficiency and ease of
thermal design. Light load efficiency is optimized by
using a choice of output Stage Shedding or Burst Mode
technology.
An internal operational amplifier provides mode selectable
output voltage programming in conjunction with the inter-
nal VID voltage control DAC.
Soft-start and a defeatable, timed short-circuit shutdown
protect the MOSFETs and the load. Current foldback
provides protection for the external MOSFETs under
short-circuit or overload conditions.

Overtemperature Shutdown
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired. A maximum current of 200µA is allowed to
pull up the RUN/SS pin to prevent overcurrent shutdown.
Note 2:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC3730CG: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
×
95°C/W)
Note 3:
The IC is tested in a feedback loop that includes the operational
amplifier in a unity-gain configuration loaded with 100µA to ground driving
the VID DAC into the error amplifier and servoing the resultant voltage to
the midrange point for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 1.2V).
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 5:
The minimum on-time condition corresponds to an inductor peak-
to-peak ripple current of
≥
40% of I
MAX
(see minimum on-time
considerations in the Applications Information Section).
Note 6:
The ATTEN
ERR
specification is in addition to the output voltage
accuracy specified at VID Code = 11111.
Note 7:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to protect
the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will
exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation
above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability.
