DC/DC switching regulator controller. Two independent
channels drive all N-channel power MOSFETs. The controlled
on-time, valley current mode control architecture allows for
fast transient response and constant frequency switching
in steady-state operation, independent of V
IN
, V
OUT
and
load current. Its load-release transient detection feature
significantly reduces overshoot at low output voltages.
Differential output voltage sensing, along with a preci-
sion internal reference, offers an accurate ±0.67% output
regulation on Channel 1, even if the remote output ground
deviates from local ground by ±500mV. The second channel
can either provide an independent ±1% output, or together
with the first channel of this controller, serve as one of the
PolyPhase channels for a single-output voltage.
The switching frequency can be programmed from 200kHz
to 2MHz with an external resistor, and can be synchronized to
an external clock. Very low t
ON
and t
OFF
times allow for near
0% and near 100% duty cycles, respectively. Voltage track-
ing soft start-up and multiple safety features are provided.

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:
The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T

where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3:
The LTC3838 is tested under pulsed loading conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3838E is guaranteed to meet specifications over the 0°C
to 85°C operating junction temperature range. Specifications over the
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LTC3838I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the –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:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 5:
The LTC3838 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts
(V

to achieve specified error amplifier
output voltages (ITH1,2).
