LTC1143/LTC1143L
LTC1143L-ADJ
Dual High Efficiency SO-16
Step-Down Switching Regulator
Controllers
DESCRIPTION
The LTC1143 series is a dual step-down switching regulator
controller featuring automatic Burst Mode
TM
operation to
maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. This
device is composed of two separate regulator blocks,
each driving an external power MOSFET at switching
frequencies up to 400kHz using a constant off-time current
mode architecture. Both fixed and adjustable voltages are
available.
The operating current level for both regulators is user-
programmable via an external current sense resistor.
Wide input supply range allows operation from 4V to 14V
(16V maximum). The LTC1143L and LTC1143L-ADJ
extend operation to V
IN
= 3.5V. 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout regulation limited only by the R
DS(ON)
of the
external MOSFET and resistance of the inductor and
current sense resistor.
The LTC1143 series is ideal for applications requiring dual
output voltages with high conversion efficiencies over a
wide load current range in a small amount of board space.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the specified temperature
range.
Note 1:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC1143 series: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 125°C/W)
Note 2:
This supply current is for one regulator block. Total supply
current is the sum of Pin 5 and Pin 13 currents. Dynamic supply current
is higher due to the gate charge being delivered at the switching
frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 3:
In applications where R
SENSE
is placed at ground potential, the
off-time increases approximately 40%.
Note 4:
The LTC1143 series is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from 0°C to 70°C and is designed, characterized and expected to meet
these extended temperature limits, but is not tested at –40°C to 85°C.

PIN FUNCTIONS
LTC1143/LTC1143L
SENSE
+
3 (Pin 1):
The (+) Input to the 3.3V Section Current
Comparator. A built-in offset between Pins 1 and 16 in
conjunction with R
SENSE 3
sets the current trip threshold
for the 3.3V section.
SHUTDOWN 3 (Pin 2):
When grounded, the 3.3V section
operates normally. Pulling Pin 2 high holds the MOSFET
off and puts the 3.3V section in micropower shutdown
mode. Requires CMOS logic level signal with t
r
, t
f
< 1µs.
Do not “float” Pin 2.
GND3 (Pin 3):
3.3V Section Ground. Two independent
ground lines must be routed separately from other grounds
to: 1) the (–) terminal of the 3.3V section output capacitor
and 2) the cathode of the Schottky diode D1 and (–)
terminal of C
IN3
(see Figure 9).
P-DRIVE 3 (Pin 4):
High Current Drive for Top P-Channel
MOSFET, 3.3V Section. Voltage swing at this pin is from
V
IN3
to ground.
V
IN5
(Pin 5):
Supply Pin, 5V Section. Must be closely
decoupled to 5V power ground Pin 11.
C
T5
(Pin 6):
External capacitor C
T5
from Pin 6 to ground sets
the operating frequency for the 5V section. (The actual
frequency is also dependent upon the input voltage.)
I
TH5
(Pin 7):
Gain Amplifier Decoupling Point, 5V Section.
The 5V section current comparator threshold increases
with the Pin 7 voltage.
SENSE
–
5 (Pin 8):
Connects to internal resistive divider
which sets the output voltage for the 5V section. Pin 8 is
also the (–) input for the current comparator on the 5V
section.
SENSE
+
5 (Pin 9):
The (+) Input to the 5V Section Current
Comparator. A built-in offset between Pins 9 and 8 in
conjunction with R
SENSE 5
sets the current trip threshold
for the 5V section.
SHUTDOWN 5 (Pin 10):
When grounded, the 5V section
operates normally. Pulling Pin 10 high holds the 5V section
MOSFET off and puts the 5V section in micropower shut-
down mode. Requires CMOS logic level signal with t
r
, t
f
< 1µs.
Do not “float” Pin 10.
GND5 (Pin 11):
5V Section Ground. Two independent
ground lines must be routed separately from other grounds
to: 1) the (–) terminal of the 5V section output capacitor
and 2) the cathode of the Schottky diode D2 and (–)
terminal of C
IN5
(see Figure 9).
P-DRIVE 5 (Pin 12):
High Current Drive for Top P-Channel
MOSFET, 5V Section. Voltage swing at this pin is from
V
IN5
to ground.
