LTC3868-1
Low I
Q
, Dual
2-Phase Synchronous
Step-Down Controller
DescripTion
The LTC
®
3868-1 is a high performance dual step-down
switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel
synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency
current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable fre-
quency of up to 850kHz. Power loss and noise due to the
input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating the two
controller outputs out of phase.
The 170μA no-load quiescent current extends operating
life in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensa-
tion allows the transient response to be optimized over
a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The
LTC3868-1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power
good output indicator. A wide 4V to 24V input supply range
encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus voltages
and battery chemistries.
Independent soft-start pins for each controller ramp the
output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits
MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions.
The output short-circuit latchoff feature further protects
the circuit in short-circuit conditions.
For a leadless 32-pin QFN package with the additional fea-
tures of adjustable current limit, clock out, phase modula-
tion and two PGOOD outputs, see the LTC3868 data sheet.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability and
lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3868E-1 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3868I-1 is guaranteed over the
full –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Note 4: The LTC3868-1 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V

to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V

.
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
