LTC3729
550kHz, PolyPhase,
High Efficiency, Synchronous
Step-Down Switching Regulator
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3729 is a multiple phase, synchronous step-
down current mode switching regulator controller that
drives N-channel external power MOSFET stages in a
phase-lockable fixed frequency architecture. The PolyPhase
controller drives its two output stages out of phase at
frequencies up to 550kHz to minimize the RMS ripple
currents in both input and output capacitors. The output
clock signal allows expansion for up to 12 evenly phased
controllers for systems requiring 15A to 200A of output
current. The multiple phase technique effectively multi-
plies the fundamental frequency by the number of chan-
nels used, improving transient response while operating
each channel at an optimum frequency for efficiency.
Thermal design is also simplified.
An internal differential amplifier provides true remote
sensing of the regulated supply’s positive and negative
output terminals as required for high current applications.
A RUN/SS pin provides both soft-start and optional timed,
short-circuit shutdown. Current foldback limits MOSFET
dissipation during short-circuit conditions when the
overcurrent latchoff is disabled. OPTI-LOOP compensa-
tion allows the transient response to be optimized over a
wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The
LTC3729 includes a power good output pin that indicates
when the output is within
±7.5%
of the designed set point.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the
life of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
LTC3729EG: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 95°C/W)
LTC3729EUH: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 34°C/W)
Note 3:
The LTC3729 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
EAIN
.
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 the on inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current
≥
40% of I
MAX
(see Minimum On-Time
Considerations in the Applications Information section).
Note 6:
The LTC3729E 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.
