synchronous boost converter controller that drives all
N-channel power MOSFETs. Synchronous rectification
increases efficiency, reduces power losses and eases
thermal requirements, allowing the LTC3788 to be used
in high power boost applications.
A constant-frequency current mode architecture allows a
phase-lockable frequency of up to 850kHz. OPTI-LOOP
®
compensation allows the transient response to be optimized
over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values.
The LTC3788 features a precision 1.2V reference and dual
power good output indicators. A 4.5V to 38V input supply
range encompasses a wide range of system architectures
and battery chemistries.
Independent SS pins for each controller ramp the output
voltages during start-up. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects
among Burst Mode
®
operation, pulse-skipping mode or
continuous inductor current mode at light loads.
For a leaded 28-lead SSOP package with a fixed current
limit and one PGOOD output, without phase modulation
or a clock output, see the LTC3788-1 data sheet.
