LTC3882
Dual Output PolyPhase
Step-Down DC/DC Voltage Mode Controller
with Digital Power System Management
DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
3882
is a dual, PolyPhase DC/DC synchronous
step-down switching regulator controller with
PMBus
compliant serial interface.
It uses a constant frequency,
leading-edge modulation, voltage mode architecture for
excellent transient response and output regulation. Each
PWM channel can produce output voltages from 0.5V to
5.25V using a wide range of 3.3V compatible power stages,
including power blocks, DrMOS or discrete FET drivers.
Up to four LTC3882s can operate in parallel for 2-, 3-, 4-,
6- or 8-phase operation.
LTC3882 system configuration and monitoring is supported
by the
LTpowerPlay™
software tool. The device’s serial
interface can be used to read back input voltage, output
voltage and current, temperature and fault status. A wide
range of operating parameters can be set via the digital
interface or stored in internal EEPROM for use at power
up. Switching frequency and phase, output voltage and
device address can also be programmed using external
configuration resistors.
