LTC3731H
3-Phase, 600kHz,
Synchronous Buck Switching
Regulator Controller
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3731H 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 LTC3731H is rated for opera-
tion up to 140°C junction temperature. The 3-phase con-
troller drives its output stages with 120° phase separation
at frequencies up to 600kHz per phase to minimize the
RMS current losses in both the input and output filter
capacitors. The 3-phase technique effectively triples the
fundamental frequency, improving transient response while
operating each controller 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 operation.
The precision reference supports output voltages from 0.6V
to 6V. Current foldback provides protection for the exter-
nal MOSFETs under short-circuit or overload conditions.
Please refer to the LTC3731 data sheet for 0°C to 70°C and
–40°C to 85°C rated versions.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3731H is guaranteed to meet specifications from –40°C to
140°C. Junction temperature (T
J
) is calculated from the ambient
temperature T
A
and power dissipation P
D
according to the following
formula:
LTC3731H: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
×
95°C/W)
LTC3731H: T
J
= T
CASE
+ (P
D
×
32°C/W)
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime
at junction temperatures greater than 125°C is derated to 1000 hours.
Note 3:
The IC is tested in a feedback loop that servoes the error amplifier
output voltage to its midrange point (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:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions.
Overtemperature protection becomes active at a junction temperature
greater than the maximum operating temperature. Continuous operation
above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability.
