The LTC
®
3831-1 is a high power, high efficiency switch-
ing regulator controller designed for DDR memory termi-
nation. The LTC3831-1 generates an output voltage equal
to 1/2 of an external supply or reference voltage. The
LTC3831-1 uses a synchronous switching architecture
with N-channel MOSFETs. Additionally, the chip senses
output current through the drain-source resistance of the
upper N-channel FET, providing an adjustable current
limit without a current sense resistor.
The LTC3831-1 operates with input supply voltage as low
as 3V and with a maximum duty cycle of > 91%. It includes
a fixed frequency PWM oscillator for low output ripple
operation. The 300kHz free-running clock frequency can
be externally adjusted or synchronized with an external
signal from 100kHz to above 500kHz. In shutdown mode,
the LTC3831-1 supply current drops to <10µA.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
Supply current in normal operation is dominated by the current
needed to charge and discharge the external FET gates. This will vary with
the LTC3831-1 operating frequency, operating voltage and the external
FETs used.
Note 4:
The LTC3831EGN-1 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 5:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Duty
cycle and nonoverlap times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 7:
PV
CC1
must be higher than V
CC
by at least 2V for TG to operate at
95% maximum duty cycle and for the current limit protection circuit to be
active.
Note 8:
The current limiting amplifier can sink but cannot source current.
Under normal (not current limited) operation, the output current will be
zero.
Note 9:
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 opera-
tion above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability.
Note 10:
The minimum and maximum limits for I
MAX
over temperature
includes the intentional temperature coefficient of 3300ppm/°C. This induced
temperature coefficient counteracts the typical temperature coefficient of the
external power MOSFET on-resistance. This results in a relatively flat current
limit over temperature for the application.
