The
LTC
®
3877
is a VID-programmable, constant frequency
current mode step-down controller using an advanced and
proprietary architecture. This new architecture enhances
the signal-to-noise ratio of the current sense signal, al-
lowing the use of very low DC resistance power inductors
to maximize efficiency in high current applications. This
feature also dramatically reduces the current sensing error,
so that current sharing is greatly improved in multi-phase
low DCR applications. In addition, the controller achieves a
minimum on-time of just 40ns, permitting the use of high
switching frequency at high step-down ratios.
The LTC3877 features dual high speed remote sense dif-
ferential amplifiers, programmable current sense limits
and DCR temperature compensation to limit the maximum
output current precisely over temperature. The LTC3877
also features a precise 0.6V reference with guaranteed
accuracy of ±0.5%. The LTC3877 is available in a low
profile 44-lead 7mm
×
7mm QFN package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation PD according to the following formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 34°C/W).
Note 3:
The LTC3877 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3877E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3877I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 4:
The LTC3877 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH1,2
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
OSNS1+,
V
FB2+
.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 6:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 7:
The minimum on-time condition is specified for an inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current ≥40% of I
MAX
(see Minimum On-Time
Considerations in the Applications Information section).
Note 8:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 9:
Both VID_EN and SNSD
+
pins to GND. In order to obtain 5V at the
output of Channel 1, the V
OSNS1+
pin must be connected to the mid-point
of an external resistor divider, and the V
FB1
pin must be shorted to the
DIFFOUT pin.
Note 10:
SNSD

.
Note 11:
SNSD
