LTC3732
3-Phase, 5-Bit VID,
600kHz, Synchronous Buck
Switching Regulator Controller
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3732 is a PolyPhase
®
synchronous step-down
switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel
external power MOSFET stages in a phase-lockable fixed
frequency architecture. The 3-phase controller drives its
output stages with 120° phase separation at frequencies
of up to 600kHz per phase to minimize the RMS current
losses in both the input and output filter capacitors. The 3-
phase technique effectively triples the fundamental fre-
quency, improving transient response while operating
each controller at an optimal frequency for high efficiency
and ease of thermal design. Light load efficiency is opti-
mized by using a choice of output Stage Shedding or Burst
Mode technology.
A differential amplifier provides true remote sensing of both
the high and low side of the output voltage at load points.
Soft-start and a defeatable, timed short-circuit shutdown
protect the MOSFETs and the load. A foldback current
circuit also provides protection for the external MOSFETs
under short-circuit or overload conditions.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired. A maximum current of 200µA is allowed to
pull-up the RUN/SS pin to prevent overcurrent shutdown.
Note 2:
T

is calculated from the ambient temperature T

and power
dissipation P

according to the following formula:
LTC3732CG: T

Note 3:
The IC is tested in a feedback loop that includes the differential
amplifier in a unity-gain configuration loaded with 100µA to ground driving
the VID DAC into the error amplifier and servoing the resultant voltage to
the midrange point for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 1.2V).
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 an inductor peak-
to-peak ripple current of
≥
40% of I
MAX
(see minimum on-time
considerations in the Applications Information Section).
Note 6:
ATTEN
ERR
specification is in addition to the output voltage
accuracy specified at VID code = 11111.
Note 7:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
