LTC3773 Triple Output Synchronous 3-Phase DC/DC Controller with Up/Down Tracking FEATURESDESCRIPTION ■ Current Mode Controller with Onboard The LTC®3773 is a high performance, 3-phase, triple output MOSFET Drivers synchronous step-down switching regulator controller ■ Programmable Power Up/Down Tracking with output voltage power up/down tracking capability. ■ Wide VIN Range: 3.3V to 36V (VCC = 5V) The controller allows for sequential, coincident or ratio- ■ ±1% 0.6V VFB Accuracy Over Temperature metric tracking. ■ Power Good Output Voltage Monitor This 3-phase controller drives its output stages with 120° ■ Phase-Lockable or Adjustable Frequency: phase separation at frequencies of up to 700kHz per phase 160kHz to 700kHz minimizing the RMS input current. Light load effi ciency can ■ OPTI-LOOP® Compensation Minimizes COUT be maximized by using selectable Burst Mode operation. ■ Current Foldback and Overvoltage Protection The 0.6V precision reference supports output voltages ■ Selectable Continuous, Discontinuous or from 0.6V to 5V. Burst Mode® Operation at Light Load ■ Programmable Phase Operation Fault protection features include output overvoltage, input ■ Available in 5mm x 7mm QFN and 36-Lead undervoltage lockout plus current foldback under short- SSOP Packages circuit or overload conditions. , LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode and OPTI-LOOP are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
