LTC3882-1
Dual Output PolyPhase
Step-Down DC/DC Voltage Mode Controller
with Digital Power System Management
DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
3882-1
is a dual, PolyPhase DC/DC synchronous
step-down switching regulator controller with
PMBus
compliant serial interface.
It uses a constant frequency,
leading-edge modulation, voltage mode architecture for
excellent transient response and output regulation. Each
PWM channel can produce output voltages from 0.5V to
5.25V using a wide range of 3.3V compatible power stages,
including power blocks, DrMOS or discrete FET drivers.
Up to four LTC3882-1 devices can operate in parallel for
2-, 3-, 4-, 6- or 8-phase operation.
System configuration and monitoring is supported by the
LTpowerPlay™
software tool. The LTC3882-1 serial interface
can read back input voltage, output voltage and current,
temperature and fault status. Most operating parameters can
be set via the digital interface or stored in internal EEPROM
for use at power up. Switching frequency and phase, output
voltage and device address can also be set using external
configuration resistors.
