LTC7851/LTC7851-1 Quad Output, Multiphase Step-Down Voltage Mode DC/DC Controller with Accurate Current Sharing FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Operates with Power Blocks, DrMOS or External The LTC®7851/LTC7851-1 are quad output multiphase syn- Gate Drivers and MOSFETs chronous step-down switching regulator control ers that n Voltage Mode Control with Accurate Current Sharing employ a constant frequency voltage mode architecture. n ±0.75% 0.6V Voltage Reference They maintain excel ent current balance between channels n Quad Differential Output Voltage Sense Amplifiers when paral eled with their internal current sharing loop. n Multiphase Capability Lossless DCR or a low value RSENSE is used for output n Phase-Lockable Fixed Frequency 250kHz to 2.25MHz current sensing. Multiple LTC7851/LTC7851-1 devices can n Lossless Current Sensing Using Inductor DCR or be used for high phase count operation. Precision Current Sensing with Sense Resistor or A very low offset, high bandwidth error amplifier, combined DrMOS with Integrated Current Sensing with remote output voltage sensing, provides excel ent n VCC Range: 3V to 5.5V transient response and output regulation. The LTC7851/ n VOUT Range: 0.6V to VCC – 0.5V LTC7851-1 operates with a VCC supply voltage from 3V to n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor 5.5V and is designed for step-down conversion with VIN n Output Voltage Tracking Capability with Soft-Start from 3V to 27V* and produces an output voltage from n Available in 58-Lead 5mm × 9mm QFN Package 0.6V to VCC – 0.5V. APPLICATIONS The LTC7851-1 is identical to the LTC7851 except it has n High Current Distributed Power Systems a lower current sense amplifier gain, making it ideal for n DSP, FPGA and ASIC Supplies DrMOS devices with internal current sense. n Datacom, Telecom and Computing Systems All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
